Politics & Government - 21 October 2007

My company recently scheduled an emergency meeting. Based off of my normal availability for work, I have always said I needed Sunday mornings off to go to church. They scheduled a meeting two days before this Sunday and told me it was required to be there. I reminded them that I have this schedule conflict, which was signed by my manager and accepted, and I was told that religion was not a good enough excuse to miss work and that I would reap the repercussions of missing that meeting. Later that day, I was told that if I did miss the meeting that they would fire me, or find some way of firing me if I made a mistake ever again. To me, that sounds like retaliation. Do I have a legitimate case? This is a pretty large global company, so if I have any base to sue, it could be a legitimite case.

How difficult is Marine boot camp? I heard that if you were in, and you didn't think you could make it and tried to get out; that they made it kind of hard. Do they try to get people to finish it even if there struggling through the whole thing and wanting to quit?

I keep reading that there are 34 hispanic medal of honor winners and I salute them but that does not compare to the fact 99% of those were anglos. In Viet Nam 87% of those killed in action were anglo and the rest made up the population ration of the US at that time. Hispanic have a right to be proud of those 34 but they did not win World war 1&11 by themselves it took hundreds of thousands of anglo lives my amigos show a little appreciation. thanks

My daughter married her high school sweetheart between boot camp and his infantry training, which is where he is right now. He filled out the marriage packet when he got to SOI. I emailed his recruiter Friday and have not heard back from him yet. She has an impacted wisdom tooth that is really causing her a lot of pain and making her sick but she doesn't have proof of insurance so she can go to the doctor or dentist. What does she need to do to get her insurance card? We are new to this.
Thank you in advance for your answers.

for example, if they were able to take back control of Flight 93, but no one had any pilot training, would they be able to "talk" someone through landing a jet? would they just have the person put it on autopilot and hope for the best?

thanks

OF COURSE !!!! She`s not worried about healthcare !!!!!!!!!!! HILLARY IS WORRIED ABOUT PUTTING THE DEMOCRATS BACK IN THE WHITE HOUSE......AND LIBS BACK INTO THE SUPREME COURT !!!!...People...she`s all about dem power, not health care. She couldn`t care less if her "plan" succeded or not....She`s all about gaining position and power, for her and all of her buddies...Some of which are pointing guns... if you catch my drift.

I have to write a paper on this topic; so far I've cited examples where minority groups have had their liberties curtailed under a democratic system. Can you help me think of anything else?

seriously,
does she suffer from some sort of mental illness?
claims to be Christian BUT she dresses like a street walker (always in short and revealing clothing), AND says the most hateful vile things (i can not believe Jesus would say the things she says) AND has out of marriage sex (not married) .

so how do her followers reconcile her obvious personality contradictions?

A party with the goal to be unbiased? Based on logic and reasoning? A party of arbiters, mediators, and philosophers?Who's loyalty is to the universe, the environment, humanity, morality, the human mind, and individuality?

A Mentat's party? Whay are your views on it? Any ideas for extension or revision?
And no, it isn't a cult.
