Have you heard of L.O.S.T.? It's Laws of the Sea Treaty, and it would give the U.N. control over all the seas!! This would mean we Americans would have to pay levies to the U.N., and our navy would not have the authority to stop any enemies from entering U.S. territory. (For example: a ship carrying a missile headed to our country with the intent to use it against us could not be stopped without breaching the treaty) Here is a link to one place at which it is talked about:

In a few months, my child (who is in college) will turn 21 years old.
Indiana Statute basically says once a "child" is 21, support is done. IC 31-16-6-6
My attorney believes I can just stop paying because his interpretation is that the Indiana Statute overrides any judges opinion except for extenuating circumstances.
The Clerks of the court is infactic in saying the only way to do this properly is to petition the court.
So who is right?

We continue to be the bully of the world and there is no end in sight. The government keeps getting bigger and they recklessly invade other countries in selfish wars for oil and power. We are up to here with the pan-fascist actions of Washington which are turning our country into a police state and it seems like the ultimate goal is world domination. Before 9/11 there was no DHS or Patriot Act. What's it gonna take for them to take everyone's civil rights away in the name of freedom? Probably another attack..I mean they did nothing to stop 9/11 despite all the intelligence that they were planning it. It's only a matter of time before the American people say enough is enough . Most Republicans and most Democrats are on the same boat. They want to take all our freedoms away. To them our constitution is meaningless. So what can we do to stop this? Should we support a 3rd party? Perhaps Libertarians, Greens, Democratic Socialists, etc?

Why not, we are killing babies anyway. Why not give you the option to see if the child will annoy you in the first three months after birth to decide if you want to "not keep the baby". When will we wake up in this country and repeal Roe vs Wade.

This is a known fact, the media belongs to the unions, and the unions support the Democrats. The Medias purpose is to promote the Democrats and destroy the Republicans. America gets only one side of the story from the media, and people believe they are getting truth. The Senate and Harry Reid tried to slam Rush Limbaugh for free speech. Democrats fear Limbaugh because he speaks the truth. This country is in big trouble if they don’t wise up and get the whole truth instead of what the liberal media wants you to know.

A couple points to consider. The US has never gone to war with Cuba. Though we did sponsor an invasion by Cubans at the beginning of the Kennedy Administration. Other than the Cuban Missile Crises which was brought to mutual satisfaction and the Mariel Boat Exodus to the US of Cuban criminals. the hostilities have been mostly verbal and political. More recently we waged war with Viet Nam. But we have trade with them now and the US even voted their admission to a UN advisory committee. Fidel Castro is old and his dreams of a Marxist world over. I also read a recent report by UN investigators that report that Cuba has 4 political prisoners. Hardly qualifying them as an oppressive society on that count. Castro even offered to send medical care to the US after Hurricaine Katrina. Probably the only thing of value he could offer. We've made do with far worse tyrants. I think time to end this and re-establish trade and diplomatic relations.
