“Justice is the end of government. It is the end of civil society. It ever has been and ever will be pursued until it be obtained, or until liberty be lost in the pursuit. In a society under the forms of which the stronger faction can readily unite and oppress the weaker, anarchy may as truly be said to reign as in a state of nature, where the weaker individual is not secured against the violence of the stronger; and as, in the latter state, even the stronger individuals are prompted, by the uncertainty of their condition, to submit to a government which may protect the weak as well as themselves; so, in the former state, will the more powerful factions or parties be gradually induced, by a like motive, to wish for a government which will protect all parties, the weaker as well as the more powerful.”

i dont want to seem like a conspiracy theorist like alex jones, but i've noticed things. the police having these check points for no reason at all. what is that, being stopped to check my registration, that doesnt seem right. being thrown in jail for protesting on the streets, i thought freedom of speech was a right that belong to me. i see more and more officers doing things that should'nt be done. the military in our streets at night, what are they doing running around fully armored. i seen this one night and never thought anything about it, but will we soon be the hunted? will we have curfews and will be be prisioners in our own country? im just saying

i was recently cited for underage prohibition under 21, open container, and littering. the situation was kinda crappy because i fact wasn't drinking out in public, but was merely handed an open can a beer right before three cops came over and busted us. i dont want to plead guilty to the charges, because i'm not, but i know i cant fight them because it would be my word against the cops and plus i live a lengthy distance from the place where it happened. my question is can i enter a plea of " no contest" in this case. i was reading about it online and it said that in some places that a plea of no contest isn't accepted. also i was wondering if the judge could possible take this type of plea as a way of "trying to get out of the charges" and give me a stiffer sentence. if anyone could help me out i would be grateful. oh and if it helps it happened in Columbus Ohio.

I have worked for my current employer for a little over 2 years. I have applied for Head Cashier 10 times, Front End Supervisor twice and a transfer to another deptartment once. I was interviewed 1 time, 2 years ago this month for Head Cashier. Since then I have not been interviewed and barely acknowledged for the other 12 attempts. All of the positions I applied for, were posted in the break room with the added notation "Internal Job openings". When I asked what that means, I was told that those jobs are for current associates only. 6 of the 10 times I applied for Head cashier, people were hired off the street and I wasnt interviewed. The 2 times I applied for Front End Supervisor, I was told in order to be the FES, you have to be a Head Cashier atleast 6 months. The lady that was promoted was never a head cashier. The 1 time I applied for another dept I was asked by that supervisor. The HR manager hired 2 people and didnt interview me. I am at a loss as to what to do.

LCDR James E Plowman- USN 22 Mar 67 NVN, with his Homestate California, listed on the band. I looked up his name years ago, when Computers were still pretty new. He had a child he didn't get to know about, he would be 40? I wonder about him. Does he know I still care? Does he know I care about all the kids like him?
Doesn't it just beg the question though? Where are the POWS-MIAS from the "BushWars"? Does anybody know why there is no dailey chat about it? Or have we taken to leaving "Ours" behind? The Following website left me feeling like a fool. That Weapon of Mass Distraction (WMD)is at it again. Duh?
leavenonebehind.wordpress.com/category/miapow/ is a good (in)site to check out. Stop by and Visit young Mr. Plowman if you would. He matters and so did his Dad. In this war it might have been his Mom....
I Googed MIAS-POWS Iraq Wars, 98 hits after how many years? So I dropped the S's and tried MIA-POW 3,550. Just for yuks? POW-MIA? 23, 500. About the same amount we know are Dead~

when in fact they exist to keep simpleminds at odds to distract 99% of the simpletons in this country from the truths and facts, at the highest levels both parties have the same agenda( do your research and you will find this to be very true)

multimillionaires and billionaires use the 2 party system as their pawns-it keeps workerbees busy bickering so they never look for the real facts

I'm not trying to insult the Air Force; I respect all military branches.

The Navy, Marines and Army have their own Air Force. Many of the jobs in the Air Force can be done with the Navy.

What's the real point of an Air Force besides carrying the president around?

I've seen alot of documentaries were Americans were low on Ammo and supply; but I've never seen them using Enemy weapons. Wouldn't it be logical to use enemy weapons if you're low on Ammo?

In 2009 smokers can't get hired for work because of the cost of health care will tripple and employers don't want to pay for smoking employees health problems. It looks like mostly only Mormons and Jehovah's Witnesses will have jobs. My only concern about smokers not getting hired is the vast amount of homelessness that will result from this. Every other person in America will be living on the streets. Well, what's you're opinion about this?

I have a few questions about mayor. I have a freind in sterling heights michigan who is 16 years old. She wants to run for mayor either this year or next year. What is the age requirement of running for mayor? Do you need to have a college education?

What do mayors do exactly? Can they make laws of the city and change areas of the city. Can they lower taxes and bring more money towards the city and can they change the cities schools in a better way. Tell me what mayors have the right to do. Also how can you run for mayor and be elected. Thanks for answering these questions.
