the activities of the internet fraudsters have dented the image of the country before the international community, which make some people suggest that this social vice should be stopped by sending culprit to life imprisonment.

Why are conservative talk radio shows like Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hanity, and Laura Ingraham, so popular, while liberal talk radio is such a failure?

"The property of this country is absolutely concentred in a very few hands, having revenues of from half a million of guineas a year downwards... "

"I am conscious that an equal division of property is impracticable. But the consequences of this enormous inequality producing so much misery to the bulk of mankind, legislators cannot invent too many devices for subdividing property, only taking care to let their subdivisions go hand in hand with the natural affections of the human mind. Another means of silently lessening the inequality of property is to exempt all from taxation below a certain point, and to tax the higher portions of property in geometrical progression as they rise. Whenever there is in any country, uncultivated lands and unemployed poor, it is clear that the laws of property have been so far extended as to violate natural right. The earth is given as a common stock for man to labor and live on."

What is the reason this time bush is hiding something? If bush is all about "accountability" why can't blackwater be held accountable? Are they doing something criminal? Something OPFOR in nature against our own military?

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- The Bush administration said Wednesday it opposes a bill that would bring private military contractors overseas under U.S. law, warning it would have "unintended and intolerable consequences" for national security."

we have an amazing military with great men and technology but the problem is the people running it have never been in the military and also many of the people who are running for president. they dont know how it works, how it feels, or what the limits are on it. i think America's military would greatly benefit if people who had at least 4 years military service were the only ones allowed to run and get elected isnt that why Gen. Eisenhower was such a great war time president?

...eliminate cash grants, food stamps, rents, emergency grants, medicaid, etc., and giving every U.S. citizen over 18 years of age $300 or so every week, with each person's health insurance payment being an automatic deduction?

It would reduce housing development / habitat destruction, as people would double up if they didn't have any other income. It would reduce overpopulation, as kids would not receive payment (or the adults who bear them).

Instead of giving billions to administering welfare, give it to every citizen over 18. What do you think?

2 days before he goes to court to get a ticket from a month ago reduced! If we don't tell the judge he just got another ticket, will they know, or do we just fuss up? I just the first ticket lowered to help out with the insurance costs. Not a great reason but I have to know if the newest ticket will come up in court? Does anyone know what it means if there is an "I" circled on the ticket means?

The wars in Afghanistan & Iraq cost a lot of money.
They have to be paid for some how.
In the past when the USA went to war it did a number of things to pay for it from raising taxes to selling bonds

This administration seems to be tax cuts and borrowing from foreign governments to pay for the wars.

It seems to me that if they are so interested in these wars they should be willing to pay for them out of there own pocket.

If Bonds where sold to US citizens at least then the debt would at least then be owned by US citizens.

Taxes will have to be paid one way or the other to pay for these wars (occupations) whether we borrow from other nations or sell bonds (borrow) from US citizens.

Those who made war material should be paid enough to pay good wages (NOT EXCESIVE PROFITS) (SOME OF THESE WAR PROFITEERING MERCENARIE COMPANIES ARE MAKING MAYBE HUNDREDS OF BILLIONS AT US CITIZENS EXPENSE) More taxes

War profiteering should be a crime that imposes severe punishment for Management

Does anyone really have an answer to this, or is it just a statement used as a fear tactic, to keep our troops overseas and keep the wars going?

Why do so many people believe the whole "they hate us for our freedom" statement, especially if no one knows the specific answer of who "they" are and what particular freedom of ours they "hate"?

I saw in the news that government agencies spent over $100 million in premium class travel. So are State department employees entitled to travel in business and first class?

And don't the higher ranked officers such as the undersecretaries and the secretary of state always travel in first class?

The article I read in the paper said that the deputy director of the FDIC traveled in premium class. If you are a deputy director, I would think that it is a pretty high rank, so shouldn't he or she be entitled to travel in premium class?

Hi and good evening. Let's clear a few things up about the US Navy...the branch I am going to in a few months...First off, the US Navy doesn't participate in the Middle East War or any war...What I am saying is I won't go to boot camp and a year later I am a sailor in Iraq? That doesn't make sense when boot camp is 80% book work and 20% physical...So will I be going to war, my friends????

Secondly, as a storekeeper in the Navy...I know, I know and I know that is not the best jobs in the Navy but wouldn't I have time for college or any other schooling that can abroaden my education?

Thirdly and lastly, I heard by many old heads that the US Navy is fun...You travel, you meet new friends, Uncle Sam takes pretty good care of his own and you get to serve your country...

Please answer all my questions to the best ability possible...I'm eagered and at the same time skeptical...please just tell me what you know...thank you and thank you....

Future US Navy SK,
Winston
