Didn't they just get more along with the so called surge?

At what point is enough - enough!

We have an economic crisis that the Feds keep bailing us out on!

Parts of our own Nation are still lying in ruin from natural disasters and they have the nerve to request billions more for Iraq!

Billions of our hard earned tax dollars to rebuild a foreign country that Bush dicided to blow up over his WMD lies!

We need to stop funding this war. It started over lies and then somehow twisted into handing out failed democracy in a civil war. We didn't go in there to play referee in their sectarian problems!

Quit sending our money over seas and start focusing on our own G***amn Nation!

Why do we have to pay because of a Presidential military blunder that seems never ending!

Doesn't that mean the poor AREN'T getting poorer????

I don't agree with Samuelson's solution - I would not kick the illegals out - - - also I don't know that it would work, since there's a lot of poor LEGAL immigration too.

And I think it's clear that even the poor immigrants themselves do ultimately move up.

So don't kick them out - - - but can we all try to stop the Paul Krugman crowd from falsely using their numbers to make it sound like there's a fixed population some of which is BECOMING poor????

I mean on a GROSS level there will be shifts - someone loses a job, typically in a sector long-troubled like auto, etc.... But on a NET basis, DOMESTICALLY poverty is declining at a pretty good pace.

Again, if you wnat to let them stay, fine, let them - but don't use their numbers to make false assertions that the rising tide isn't lifting all the boats that were already in the harbor!!!!

There are a limited number of places that a female juvanille will go. The only place in fact is in Caliente, Nevada. The males have 3 levels of placement from minimum,medium, and maximum. They only put the female offenders in the first one in the minimum security. This could be conceived that the males are given more opportunity to straighten out thier lives and given more realistic treatment for repeat offenses and higher criminal acts where the females will just end up back at the same place they were before again and again until they end up in adult prison because they were not held up to the same letter of the law as male juvinilles. This is unequall treatment or predujudice against female offenders because they were given the same opportunities as a male offender would be given to fix their problems.Let someone know who needs to know of this information may it come of use to them in a case. Thank you and paste and copy as you see fit to make others aware of this gross injustice.

Boyd Graves has spent nine years tracking down documents that he thinks links the US Government to the development of AIDS. A key finding is the discovery of a 1971 flow chart that documents a $550 million program responsible for the disease, he claims.
Once developed he says that the government created 60,000 liters of a biological agent in 1978 that would be subsequently be known as aids. Graves alleges that the pentagon then spread the virus in Africa and USA.
At the time of this article, US Rep James Traficant D-17th, was assisting Graves with the inquiry. Today, James Traficant remains behind bars. Coincidence? You decide.

My college professor was talking about homocide and how theres different degrees to murder depending on if it was planned, or done with passion, or just a mistake....i have a question.....For the case of a couple, if the wife was caught cheating on her husband, and the husband walked in on them, and he killed the man that his wife was cheating on him with with a licensed gun,due to anger, is there an exception, like because he was angry due to this circumstance he was put in? or a different degree, and how much jail time does he get? Will the court consider this circumstance?

If the guy says that he thought his wife was being raped, would that change things? since it was toward protecting her?

If this would be in New York State and he had no past criminal history

if a man can go to prison for accomplise to rape for performing a marriage where no actual rape occurred (definition of rape in dictionary : 1. the unlawful compelling of a person through physical force or duress to have sexual intercourse.
2. any act of sexual intercourse that is forced upon a person.
since it is widely known the accounts of homosexual rape in Americas prisons should not all prison guards,criminal prosecutors,criminal judges and police be arrested as rapists?
and could not Warren Jeffs claim eminant domain over the person of the 14 year old girl as their communities culture is based upon the arranged marraige system in their culture and claim freedom of reliogion but mostly eminent domain since it is for the good of the community for arranged marriages in that culture?

There are times, it seems, people get offended when someone speaks the truth. And the speaker is castigated and sometimes fired. Which is more important, the truth or people's right to not be offended?

The Dept of State is not acting like a Dept in favor of Peace and sadly Condy Rice, the head of that Dept is not a Peace and "soft" Diplomacy advocate. Everybody at the top in the Bush43 cabinet reflects the swaggering arrogant temperament of the President and the silent but deadly war hawk advocacy of Dick Cheney.

Ok… Has anyone else been thinking that California should break away from the union like me? I’m saying we have a ruthless dictator running this country and trying to dictate how we should live our personal lives. It also appears that most of the union dumps on California and hates us don’t they see that California’s money is helping them out. They Say that the Californian Economy is 8th in the world, So we’re pretty much a self reliant state. A few days ago Governor Schwarzenegger spoke at the UN sounding like a leader of a Progressive Country and the first thing that came to mind is California should break away, I think that California as a whole would be much better off. So my question to you is if it were come down to a vote on whether California should become it’s own Republic, would you vote to stay or breakaway.

This was a town hall meeting and let me remind you that Atlanta is far from being your average ''southern town".

ATLANTA POORLY REPRESENTED ON ESPN TOWN HALL MEETING

I hope many of you managed to see that Sports Center special on ESPN last night. I was one of the panelists discussing "The Michael Vick Divide." The experience was very enjoyable, but I must admit that I was shocked by a good portion of the audience at the Sydney Marcus auditorium at the Georgia World Congress Center. Where did they get those people? (Well, not all of them .. but a good portion of them.) They were booing former Falcons defensive standout Chuck Smith for saying that Michael Vick committed a felony and had to pay the price, and when the moderator asked the audience to show by their applause whether or not dog fighting should be legal, the overwhelming response was that it should! Are these people serious? Dog fighting should be legal?
I'm sorry, but I can't help but thing that the audience there last night embarrassed Atlanta and themselves.

I took this from Neal Boort’s site and there is a poll asking the question above.
