with threats? Why can't world leaders sit down and talk so they can reach an agreement when there's conflicts? don't you think it's better that way?

I am heavily involved with the antiwar movement. It is more than standing there with a sign. How do you see an effective movement that will bring about much needed change?

Not military resistance. Or ineffective non-military resistance, if you want.

There have been cases in the past about wrongfully convicted people turning out to be innocent. Nothing can ultimately be done to make up for the time they served, so they are usually awarded a huge cash settlement. There was a case of this one guy who was originally sentenced to death, appealed the case and got re-trialed but this time sentenced to life, and years later was found to be innocent the whole time. Lots of injustice in this world.

So my question is:

Would you be willing to do 10 years in prison for $10,000,000? What would be your biggest fear in there? Under what supposed crime would you want to be convicted? I hear pedofiles and ex-police officers have it the worst in there, so would you still do it if you had to go in and be marked as one of them?

I am curious your point of view on this.

I received the following from a friend. Does anyone have evidence this is fabrication?

Nancy Pelosi:

"We democrats are going to address this issue after the election when we take control of the congress. We will return to the 60% to 80% tax rates on the rich and we will be able to take at least 30% of all current lower income tax-payers off the rolls and increase government income substantially. We need to work toward the goal of equalizing income in our country and at the same time limiting the amount the rich can invest."

"We need to raise the standard of living of our poor, unemployed and minorities. For example, we have an estimated 12 million illegal immigrants in our country who need our help along with millions of unemployed minorities. Stock market windfall profits taxes could go a long ways to guarantee these people the standard of living they would like to have as 'Americans'."

Should we start with Congress's high salaries, bennies, and investments?

This is supposed to be a free country.

Then we have the Republicans who's idea of "freedom" is telling people how to live their lives.

-I know who this man is
-He was very well known in the church and because of this, his crime was "covered"
-My mother was 16 at the time, she had no real support because my grandmother was also an important figure in the church and feared for her "reputation", so I believe the case went to, but was dropped or thrown out in court
-This was a RAPE, I also know of the potential witness/accomplice
-Can I get a DNA test taken now to prove he's the father? In doing this, can it be proven that he did committ the rape crime?
-Are there any attorneys that see potential in this situation and would like to assist me legally?
-There's also a church scandal that ties into this situation that went "public" in the 80's
-I don't have alot of money, but I do have alot of faith..and I feel that there may be some potential "recognition" here, if anything, for the attorney who can prove the crime and associated church scandal
-I'm being completely honest and hoping to seek justice for my mother

this story in the news,about a knife crime every 24 minutes
seems to me, as a bit of scare mongering
here are my calculations
60 minutes(1 hour)
divided by 24 minutes = 2.5 crimes
2.5 crimes x 24 hours in the day = 60 crimes a day
60 crimes a day x 365 days in the year
(not including leap years) = 21900
estimated population of uk 60,776,238
according to google
so 60,776,238 population divided by crimes in a year 21900
2775.1706 years till you are a victim of knife crime
also you may be a victim twice,
so every one is pretty safe i think
what are your views?

Prime Minister Stephen Harper will host the first-ever formal meeting between a Canadian prime minister and the Dalai Lama on Monday

When Harper was in opposition Bush went to war with Iraq and Harper jumped up and down because the government refused to go

When a war broke out with Lebenon and Israel Harper photocopied Bush's speech and read that as the Canadian position on the issue -

When Bush said global warming was a made up thing surprise surprise Harper said the same thing - Until he realised that the average Canadian voter would have none of it and has been trying to back off it ever since

Why is it Harper has to do everything Bush does - ?

And as an aside what the hell is wrong with the current opposition who could topple the government but won't ?
