Politics & Government - 24 October 2007

My husband was born & grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area and I lived there for two years ( '03 to '05) while he attended that bastion of 60's wacko liberalism; UC Berkeley

I want to hear from people across the country. What is YOUR take on the Catholic church desicration, the refusual of that city as home port to a Battleship, Mayor Newsome's campaign to promote Homosexual Marrage, Nancy Pelosi's home district, and now Rep. Stark's very distasteful remarks about our troops and Pres. Bush.

Congress asked for a report from the Center for Disease Control on the affects of global warming on diseases. Now they don't like the report they got. Is this another "General Petrais" hit-job by Congress?

While campaiging in Boston, MA, Rudy Guliani, lifelong Yankees fan, told the crowd he would be rooting for the Red Sox in the World Series. C'mon man, a five year old could see through that lie. Nobody who is a Yankess fan could ever, ever root for the Red Sox.

If Californicate had told the wacko Sierra Club so called enviromentalist to go to hell and done what was right yrs ago there wouldnt have been all of these fires in recent yrs. Can you imagine knowing what the dangers are in Californicate and making it against the law for homeowners to even consider cutting a tree that would endanger their house or making it against the law to clean up brush or against the law to clear a fire break. These bunch of Sierra idiots have caused more grief and pain in Californicate than any criminals and if the govt. there after this fire has any sense they will tell the Sierra Club to go straight to hell and start managing their forest to protect against another catastrophe such as the one in 03 and the present fire do you agree or disagree?

Another high school student pushed my child six times in the forehead prior to my daughter retaliating and fighting back? The school said it was not self-defense because she fought and punched back instead of just trying to push the kid off? I don't think either girl intended to fight (they didn't know each other), however, they were in the crowded lunch line and the other girl was upset with my daughter because she made a spitting sound when the girl pushed through ahead of the others waiting in line. She did not actually spit, however the girl began harassing my daughter as she pushed her in the forehead saying "tell me you did not spit on me so I don't have to kick your butt". The kids around told her she was not spit on, including my daughter, however, after the sixth or seventh push in the head my daughter said "yes". My daughter was arrested and charged with fighting as the school policy stated she had to be. My child has never fought before. Is this fair?

My husband was diagnosed as bipolar. He hasn't been able to hold a job. He is falling behind in child support for his child from his last marriage. His child support amount is based on a high paying job he had years ago. He is so bad now he can't hold a job making that much money anymore. Does anyone know if the courts will reduce the child support amount due to bipolar? Is there anyone with bipolar who has been through this that can point us in the right direction?

A man must choose to be a father in the same way that a woman chooses to be a mother. It is not fair that a woman can use a morning after pill without consent, abort without consent, and have the baby without consent, but the man has to reap all the consequences with no choice at all. He has to abide by what ever the woman decides. Both were involved with the creation of the baby so why should only one of the two have more right than the other? Some men tell the woman he doesn't want children b4 hand. Or after the matter. If she knows this and keeps the baby she should take responsibility. Before you jump to the defense of "They should have been wearing protection", think about the women who trap a man or want to get pregnant so badly that they lie about using birth control, say a doctor told them they can't get pregnant, poke holes in the condom, empty the condom inside themself after sex (yes it happens) and so on. Should he still have to pay after that?

I have a good life, not many regrets. The one career I wish I'd pursued would have been either forensic science or criminal psychology. I know I don't have what it takes to be a police officer or detective. My question is: How has your career affected your life? Your relationships? The way you view society as a whole? How do you deal with the things you've seen? I realize that the most jaded ( for lack of a better word at the moment) may not feel compelled to answer my question, but it is you I'd most like to respond.
I have a profound respect for what you do, I'm simply curious about how pursuing the above stated would have changed me as a person. Thank you in advance... and thank you for doing what you do!!!

Don't you think we should institute the draft instead?

Why is everyone so sour about California getting aid that Louisiana didn't seem to get when California actually had less reaction time than Louisiana?
