feel it might infringe on their rights and privacy.... yet... they are all willing to sign up for Universal Health Care and hand the government all of their medical history? Correct me if I am wrong... but don't people value the whole doctor/patient confidentiality thing anymore? Psychiatric counseling falls under health care too.... now the government gets to know EVERYTHING about someone with any type of issue. And libs can't wait to sign up! What is up with that?

So others can spend all day thinking up ways to bash them? OH YEAH, they do have several books out, and guess what? Nobody spends all day reading their books figuring out ways to bash them. So who's the bigger people?

My motorcycle was stolen and just found out it was in a crash and the guy who stole it almost died. I haven't found out if they arrested him yet but it appears like they didn't arrest him and they didn't run the plates. My moto ended up in impound.

"Deputy Secretary of Defense Paul Wolfowitz, one of the main architects for the war in Iraq, admitted for the first time that Iraq had nothing to do with the September 11 terrorist attacks, contradicting public statements made by senior White House and Pentagon officials whose attempt to link Saddam Hussein and the terrorist organization Al-Qaeda was cited by the Bush administration as one of the main reasons for launching a preemptive strike in March against Iraq."

What are your thoughts?

Former Tennessee Sen. Fred Thompson is a latecomer into the GOP race for the White House. Trailing in the polls and fundraising, Thompson has been gaining momentum and steam.

I like Thompson in that he is a devoted Christian. He's a born again believer which is very important to me as a believer in Christ.

I think in a head to head matchup with Hillary Clinton, Thompson would win. It would be a very close race decided by only one or two states, but I think Fred Dalton Thompson could very well become the next President of the United States. In my view, when it comes down to it, many people just will not vote for Hillary under any circumstances.

This is not to say that our country is not ready for a female president. It probably is. Just not THAT woman!!

I look forward to seeing your responses.

Hi there. Ok, I'm being sued in Los Angeles for a $3,500 credit card debt. I've been living in Puerto Rico for one year now, where I live very poorly. Here's what my case summary says ( histories extract):

"10/17/2007 CASE MANAGEMENT ORDER SIGNED AND FILED BY JUDGE R.(...). MATTER SET FOR ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE WHY SANCTIONS OR A DISMISSAL OF THE ENTIRE ACTION SHOULD NOT BE IMPOSED FOR FAILURE TO FILE ANY AND ALL PAPERS/DOCUMENTS NECESSARY TO BRING THE MATTER TO TRIAL
OR TO EFFECT A FINAL DISPOSITION AS TO ALL ISSUES AND PARTIES TO THE ACTION. HEARING ON 11/19/07 AT 08:30 AM, IN DEPT. (...) . CLERK'S CERTIFICATE OF SERVICE MAILED/GIVEN TO RESPECTIVE PARTIES /COUNSEL."

Question: is this mention bad for me or bad for the Plaintiff? Do I have to show up in Court at the scheduled date, or is it just a preliminary hearing for the Plaintiff to show the judge they have a valid case against me? Am I at risk of a bench warrant if I can't show up for that hearing?
Thanks ++ for your qualif. answ.

So if they succeeded presumably the administration couldn't expel armed students any more.

Ok, so got a speeding ticket a year ago in MD. I live in CO. according to the Md website, it still shows active,but $0 in all the fines categories. According to responses to a previous question, I was told that it was in the national database and I would be in violation of a suspended license.. I called the MD MVA... they have no record of this ticket at all. I previously lived in MD, and they have all of my past "discretions" on file, but nothing regarding this... so my question... the MVA has no record of this whatsoever.. but is that different from the cops having record?... meaning despite that I am not in any trouble with the MD or CO MVA... do I still have to worry about being pulled over and arrested for suspended license because of an unpaid $80 speeding ticket?

Hey ya'll! i am currently 15 years old, will be 16 in june of 2008. I want to get emancipated this summer, but I am not quite sure of everything I will need to do, and I don't want my parents to know about this until it is official, so I can't ask them for help. Will they still let me be emancipated if I'm not in an abusive home? I just simply do not like my parents at ALL, and they are way to strict and refuse to let me see my boyfriend. But who do i go to, to get emancipated and like what do i tell them. will i need a lawyer, and will it cost a FORTUNE?? Because my parents wouldn't help me in any way with that. And also, I live in north carolina, will they rent apartments to a 16 year old? Me and my friend are going to rent one. Ya'lls answers would be greatly appreciated, thank you soo much!!!

Even the guests the right wing talkies bring on their shows are starting to admit there is anthropogenic GW. Now they have switched their tune to saying "ya, humans are doing it but there's nothing anyone can do about it". I even heard a guy on Glenn Beck the other day who said GW would be good for the economy.

At what point will people cave in?

People constantly cite what they think are errors in Al Gore's movie, yet they ignore the fact that the overall message of the movie, that anthropogenic GW is happening, was not in dispute. What is it with republicans and their obsession with bashing science?

“On CNN the other night Anderson Cooper was worrying about the homicide rate in Philadelphia. The City of Brotherly Love is the murder capital of the nation, and CNN had dispatched a reporter to interview the grieving mother of a young black boy killed while riding his bicycle in the street. Apparently, a couple of cars had got backed up behind him, and an impatient passenger in one of them pulled out a gun and shot the kid. Anderson Cooper then went to commercials and, when he returned, introduced a report on how easy it is to buy guns in Philadelphia and how local politicians are reluctant to do anything about it. This is, again, an argument only the expert class could make. In the 1990s, the number of guns in America went up by 40 million, but the murder rate fell dramatically. If firearms availability were the determining factor, Vermont and Switzerland would have high murder rates. Yet in Montpelier or Geneva the solution to a boy carelessly bicycling in front of you down a city street when you’re in a hurry is not to grab your gun and blow him away. It’s the culture, not the technology.” —Mark Steyn

I thought I had seen it all when it comes to politician's duplicity -but this EU constitution/treaty fiddle really takes the cake!
Brown and cohorts cannot really think we are all silly enough to believe that by dropping a few unimportant details and changing the name, the constitution is suddenly transformed into a bit of EU housekeeping.
At least Blair was clever enough to wait until the French and Dutch had rejected it so he never had to face the electorate.
Brown is either a fool or a liar, and I don't think he is a fool.
It's bad enough for us, but how must the French and Dutch feel?
They were actually asked and said NO. Now they see the same nonsense being served up again - and their politicians are about to sign it! This time WITHOUT asking them.
The EU sometimes complains that it's unpopular with the people - "they just don't understand all the great things we do for them" and similar self serving rubbish.
Can't think why, can you?

What is free about it, just that you don't have to pay money for a quick fix, getting second-rate care?
Do most people understand the REAL price in Universal Health-Care? Your freedom to choose?
My good friend is English, her daughter has illnesses, yet she waits in at least a 3 week line to be seen by ANY doctor, never the same one, either. No, she doesn't pay anything, but her daughter remains sick. Her son has had a hole in his heart since birth, and constantly in and out to hospital, and seeing doctors. He remains unhealthy, and always seen by different doctors. Their docs are so mixed-up, paper work a mess, jammed up to the hilt. Is this the kind of Health-Care you want for your children?
My other English friend, and his two kids didn't get to see a dentist for two years because the system is so jammed.
Do you want this kind of Dentistry controlled by your government for your kids? What about for yourself?

Is abortion an issue of politics (such as overpopulation, birth-control, exercising women's rights, in the case of a rape, etc.) or is it an issue of the heart (as in, are you conscious of the consequences of your actions, should you have an abortion)?
