Politics & Government - 11 October 2007

My husband is currently in Infantry training and his only means of communication with me by writing letters. I love to receive them and get really excited. (got one today). I just wish he would write more then his "usual one and a half pages. He's a man of few words lol lol. In the coming weeks he will be getting telephone priveleges, I believe on Sundays. They took away his cell phone. My question is when he is given his full time assignment after training will he be allowed to use his cell phone to call me and his parents? I wanted to live with him but that won't be feasible at this time because we will have a newborn baby and it's better to remain at home. My mother in law has offered to allow me to stay at her house and actually I'm doing that now, and really enjoying it there. She lets me use one of her cars to drive to my college classes. At night I sleep in Jamies' room and can cuddle to one of his stuffed animals (I miss him so much!). How about later when deployed?

President Bush and his government are opposing the resolution calling the murder of 1.5 million people in Armenia a genocide, all because "Turkey is a valuable military ally". I am European and find it very hard to understand why the truth should be subdued for the sake of diplomatic advantage. Can someone please explain this to me? Is having Turkey as an ally in a possible further military involvement in the far east more important than to condemn their genocide?

I am a writer, and working on a charector background.

The man graduated from the Naval Academy, and that makes him a Leutinant right?

Ok what are the steps towards Rear Admirl and then full Admirl?

I have heard of "Officer training School" but is that for people who've also been to Annapolis?

How long does it take from say... high school, and the Academy for someone to raise (normally) all the way to Admirl?

Can anyone list any particular schools, jobs that a officer might have to hold?

Some i listed were:

After Annapolis he became a pilot, then went on to (cant think of the name of the position) the guy who guides planes in to land on a carrier, to CAG, to officer training school, to another tour or two but on another carrier.

but he was a very good learner and leader, and his reputation for brains, gets him lots of offers, and he returns to land to work at the Pentagon, and raises more in ranks and to assistant to the Joint Chiefs.

At 39 he finally gets

Some business-related mail comes to my workplace addressed to me, yet someone has been opening my mail, then placing it in my mailbox with no explanation, no note, nothing to indicate who is doing this or why. Some of the mail is weeks old when I finally do get it. Can an employer legally open mail addressed to a specific person in a company? Once someone had opened my pay stub, which used to be sent to our work addresses but now are sent to our homes. Has anyone ever encountered this? I'm shocked! Do I have any legal recourse against this employer?

we are having a new pay scheme at my workplace and my employer is trying to make me accept a job description that does not reflect the job i do. They are trying to cut down on job descriptions so I am being lumped in to another job description, however both jobs are as different as chalk and cheese. I believe they are doing this so as in the future they can say i have to do the other job as it states so in the new job description. I can not do this job as i am not trained to do so. Am I in my rights to refuse this as i have a signed contract and job description. I want a job description that reflects what i do.

Don`t American`s realize that they could easily pay for health insurance with the money they save if there was no income tax... There would still be taxes on earnings, just not your labour.. Don`t you know taxing your labour is slavery according to your own constitution! I`m Canadian and our health care (run by the gov`t) sucks.. people are dying on waiting lists.. You wouldn`t believe how many people don`t even have a doctor.

Isn't this what so many like Bill O'Reilly, Sean Hannity, Ann Coulter and Rush Limbaugh and those on the right have been calling for? Are you satisfied with this call for peace? These scholars are considered among the mainstream within the Muslim community. They're not a fringe group or extremists, they represent the majority of Muslims who all want to see peace between Christians and Muslims.
Any thoughts?

I have a court case 1 week from tomorrow and got a letter from the Public Defender saying they can not take my case and I have to get my own lawyer. My charges are disorderly conduct and criminal trespass (family violence act). I thought I had the right to counsel?? I make decent money but have no money to pay a lawyer. Once I make house payments, and child support, I have no money left to my name. What should I do?
