What does a person from Mississippi have in common with someone from Oregon? Or a city dweller in Chicago with a farmer in Kansas? Given it's political leanings, would New York and New England be more comfortable in a confederation with Canada? It could be argued that a person from Alabama doesn't even speak the same language as a person from Maine. Thoughts?

Shouldn't he be held slightly reponsibe for the current economic uncertainty, the rises in inflation and interest rates given that he was chancellor for the last ten years.

Given how often U.S. citizens speak of freedom and how the U.S. is the supposed bastion of freedom, I am curious as to how well the citizens know their First Amendment rights. WITHOUT looking up the answer, can you list what rights are guaranteed by the First Amendment?

I was NOT able to list them all, having missed two. Given how often we speak of freedom, I would think that we all should know at least what those freedoms are.

Al Gore is matured and broad thinker. He stands up for something. In fact, he almost won the election against Bush. Considering different factors, he is the best bet we got. What do you say? Can you make him run again with a Nation wide march for him?

This question is specifically but not entirely confined to when they quote the McDonald's hot coffee case as case and point,literally.

Without knowing the surrounding circumstances that led to that jugdment which, is more complex than most lay people tend to appreciate and, is actually sound law.Should people if they want to make a point, especially in law, know the full facts first?

My fiance is in boot camp right now and I was just wondering where he is going to be for his A school...or at least the possibilities. Does anyone know where they're located? I've looked online, but I can't find a list. Thanks.

Why is it that in every state where there are things like say colleges, museums, theater, and culture they vote overwhelmingly democratic. And in everstate where there are tractors, corn, cow patties, and hay they vote republican.

Educated = Democrat
Uneducated hilliblly, hayseed, two teeth = Republican

Fascism is an authoritarian political ideology (generally tied to a mass movement) that considers individual and other societal interests subordinate to the needs of the state. Fascists seek to forge a type of national unity. Various scholars attribute different characteristics to fascism, but the following elements are usually seen as its integral parts: nationalism, authoritarianism, statism, militarism, totalitarianism, anti-communism, corporatism, populism, and opposition to economic and political liberalism.

I think the answer must be yes. We profited from exploitation under 'The Empire' and owe a debt to the races that come here. It is not a guestion of them integrating with us but more us accepting them and hoping they forgive us for the past.

Tomorrow is another Friday night out with the girls, while they drink Pina Coladas ---- and I watch.
I will be 21 on December 20th, and most of my friends have turned 21 by now. They go out for nights on the town, most of the time I can't go at all because I am "too young" to step inside the doors of any alcohol serving facility. When I can go, I am forced to be the designated driver.
I don't believe that drinking alcohol is required to have fun, but it is frustrating that my friends - who are litterally 2-4 months older than me - are considered, by law, so much "older and more responsible" than I am, that they are allowed to enter whatever public place they want, and I am treated like a 15 year old.
Yes, I realize "it's the law", so I do not need any comments from that perspective, or saying that I need to "grow up and deal with it". I am dealing with it, but sometimes I just don't know if I agree with it.

I mean, I just picture Iowa being so sparsly populated, with farms and little hick towns. It seems like Calif or NY would be where the most voters would reside.
Don't make fun...I'm just learning, and trying to learn about politics..

I think it is looking more and more like Clinton. I think Obama's wife needs to keep her mouth shut if he wants to have a chance. She's not helping his campaign at all. I wonder if Edwards can do what he needs to in order to score some points.

If any GOP trolls feel like chiming in, I have one word for ya. Guiliiani. Mr. 9 dollars and 11 cents. How campy. LOL, enough said there.

I hear them complaining a lot that they "don't get anything done"... when in fact, Bush's veto pen has been very busy?

what is he vetoing if they aren't passing anything?

and how do you expect them to "pass legislation" if Bush vetoes it?

I don't quite get it?

did they magically just get enough members to override a veto and I missed it?

Seems to be the implication of all these "y'ain't-so-perfect y'self" types. That since everybody - not just type-L illegals - breaks laws, then we're all guilty. Nobody really cares about laws, so, why not just toss the whole concept?

In consideration, as you answer, imagine for a moment that all N. & S. American nations except Canada, the United States and Costa Rica had developed a legal system like those three.

Then, this whole site would be in Spanish with countless Hondurans, Salvadorans, Mexicans, etc, all furious about those Anglo invaders having 4.5 babies, refusing to speak the language and using up "our" social security.

Yea or Nay?

Neither of them have the details of the war, or the bomb that hit Syria, therefore, to tip your hat that you will end the war and bring home the troops, right now, is not the truth.

Will you vote for either of them, and who will you vote for if any Democrat candidate?
