And please don't make this a question about Edwards.

Do you agree with the statement and do you think this would be good/bad for the country?

I personally think she would have ended up an average lawyer that no one had ever heard of,definitely not a Senator or possible Presidential Contender.

What have they done for America???

They are smart? then we should elect a Nobel Prize winner.
They have plans? gee... I have plans too.

Governor Richardson is the most experienced but he will never win.... Sad.

Liberals vote with their EMOTION not Brain.

Go figure that one out. Before anyone says anything i am not a supporter of Castro or his Government. However it's real hypocritical for the American Government to have such a hatred against Castro's regime but yet had no problem supporting the previous Cuban Government that was corrupted & brutal to it's people. Just my 2 cents.

I hear a lot about how some people want to ban gay marriage. Please pardon my ignorance but I was under the impression that two people of the same gender marrying has been illegal in every state for as long as the USA has existed.

If that is true how can people be trying to ban it?

Isn't that like saying people who are against the legalization of certain drugs are trying to "ban" those drugs?

This makes no sense to me.

My wife just left me a week ago, but we are not legally seperated or divorced or anything. She has not responded to my emails and the one time I tried to call her when she heard it was me she hung up.

Can I end up in legal trouble by trying to contact her? Is there some guideline to the amount of times I can try to call/email her in a day without getting into trouble?

Keep in mind that I'm not trying to argue with her via email or phone so much as establish some sort of communication. I know that if I called her constantly to insult her or call her names THAT would be harassment. But what about just calling her to try to find out what is going on with our marraige?

I dont know...Im confused and my paper is due on monday and still havent written it.

The Southern CA fires had several ignition points seemingly starting simultanously. Perfect location, perfect season, perfect timing. Authorities haven't said weither or not it was a coordinated or how many were involved. What do you think?

Should we try those resposible for the fires just for arson or under the Patriot Act for Domestic Terrorism? What should their punishment be?

I'm not meaning terrorism in the normal fashion. I'm not talking about Bin Laden but Domestic Terrorism.

What I'm trying to get out is weither or not we treat this crime as just arson or do we consider this a terroristic act done by someone against his own country.

NO GAS "December 1st – December 10th 2007". Conserve the gas you have just go to work or school no joy riding...its time to take a stand against this gas issue once again....these Oil companies are making billions off of gas, and the price is still rising. Their bank accounts are getting larger and larger. They could use 1 billion dollars to help the middle and lower class afford gas.

America’s technology has improved so much over time, but mpg is still the same since the 80's? We can send a guy to the moon; make smaller cell phones, but can’t get better gas mileage or lower gas price's....that's a joke. They are making cars that get better gas mileage but who wants to pay $25,000 for a Prius (they look so weird) that’s not fun to drive. Have you ever tried to trade in your old car for a new one? Making new cars with better MPG really doesn’t help us who have older cars with bad MPG. Right now gas is close to $3.50.....so what, should we wait until their charging us $6.00 a gallon. At $6.00 a gallon if you have a 23 gallon tank you'll only spend $138.00 to fill up. That’s not bad right? But when Minimum wage is below $7.00 per hour, it’s a decision between food or gas.

I know we have to use gas, but do we have to pay so much. When will they make enough money from gas to give us a break...ExxonMobil is playing the American people (http://www.usatoday.com/money/companies/earnings/2005-10-27-xom_x.htm) check out this site for profits.

Supply and demand...yeah if our supply is so low why are we still making cars that run off of fossil fuels. They really mean their supply in their accounts are low and there demanding more money, which can be considered blood money. I mean are they using the money to build a new universe.

So if you can, please don't buy gas "December 1st – December 10th 2007". Its gonna be hard, many say it’s impossible. And some say it won’t make a difference. They said the same thing to Columbus when he sailed west and Rosa Parks when she wouldn’t give up her seat on a bus one afternoon. This isn’t a black or white issue or even a big car small car issue; but its time we take a stand against this gas issue. I know we are all tired of talking about it, so let’s do something, even if we can show them that we know and we aren’t fools, let’s do something. Something is better is better than nothing.

I know most of us are tired of spending all our money on gas. I can buy a pair of shoes every time I fill up. I can use gas money to eat at red lobster everyday (I know my big truck drivers know what I’m talking about).... we got people dying because of this liquid gold, I had a cousin who was killed b/c of gas?

So try to spread the word send this message to at least 3 other people... we need to show these oil tycoons what’s up. Don’t forget now "December 1st – December 10th 2007". Hundreds of people are joining in....let’s turn it to thousands or millions or let’s make some billions like Exxon does."
