them? When did working and taking care of YOUR OWN CHILDREN and family stop becoming the responsibility of each citizen?
Has anyone seen how badly the govt manages the services it already has to provide--like postal and medicare? Can you imagine them being in charge of other services and how long the wait would be--and how poorly managed and how awful the recourse for bad service?
Has any of these bleeding hearts socialists consider the real facts?

On shows such as Lockdown they show how inmates in California segregate themselves and they have 3 main groups...white supremacists, southern Mexicans, and blacks. What if someone is none, all of the above, or just sees themselves as an individual . Do they form an "other" group?

He is 6 months old now and I have applied for Passport. Once he gets his passport I should be applying for his US visa. I read somewhere that interview for children below 14 is not required. Does this mean i can send the application by mail or is it expected that one of the parents need to show up for the interview? Should I take the appointment? If yes in whose name should it be? And what are the other process/information i should be ready with?

With all of the praise to eastern european workers that they are contributing so greatly to our economy; it hit me the other day. If they are so great why is it that their homelands are in such disarray? Surely if they were of such a great economic benefit their home countries would be flourishing, am I over simplfying this?

There is a small Rodent out there that goes by the name of Billy. He is a Liberal Stooge and has had all my questions deleted. I have reported Him and Yahoo are looking at this closely. The reason I am putting this into the Election section is because he haunts these places. Please let me know if you have run across this little Germ, I and Yahoo would like to know.

I talked to an old friend after not having contact for about 3 years. He was considered an alcoholic and drug addict by the age of 14, he was court ordered to attend AA and NA he was in several diversion classes and incarcerated in the rehab section of the county jail when busted for Possession of a controlled substance. I talked to him the other day and he was drunk. I was concerned because of his past, I ask him about his drinking habits now and he said yeah I like to kick back every now and then with a beer and a bowl. I suppose my question is how appropriate is it for a “recovering” alcoholic/drug addict to be a social drinker and pot smoker?

Joe and Julia will have a debate on TV as Swan and Costello have had today. Will Joe ask for Pies instead of water? 40 mins. is a long time between pies for Joe. Can he add some credibility to the Lib's? No one from their Party has done so, so far.

If all oil was to cease millions would starve, infrastructures would crumble, governments would collapse and world chaos would ensue. Is this not worth fighting for? Just to make it clear I am against the Iraq War but do not believe we are there for that reason. Just do not agree with peope who say oil is not worth fighting for.

We're looking for specific, verifiable statements that he has made and the proof that he was wrong. If you answer with generalities, name calling or cursing, then you'll expose yourself as a lightweight on YA. OK, you're up.

Would Hillary Clinton be a good foreign affairs President and how would she deal with China? Would she be like Bush is now and lead this nation into war? Has anyone asked her any hard questions on China and has she answered them?

we hear the horror stories from Canada and England... but are there horror stories here too?

http://www.knbc.com/news/13491720/detail.html?subid=10101581

I actually know people in this position personally:

http://www.redorbit.com/news/health/613741/costly_drugs_force_lifedeath_decisions/index.html?source=r_health

and people are even going outside of the U.S., due to the costs:

http://www.forbes.com/business/2006/10/25/health-medical-tourism-biz-cx_1026oxford.html

these are things that people talk about happening in Canada... but they seem to happen here too?

http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/76295.php

and that's not even looking at the stats of infant mortality rates or average life span:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_infant_mortality_rate
https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/rankorder/2102rank.html

I'm not impressed... and all this at a much greater cost:

Lapel pins are one thing; Since 9/11, the Bush administration has wrapped itself in the flag, as it rode roughshod over the constitution to extend it's executive power and steamroller the Dems. into submission - squeal 'unpatriotic' and it invariable gets what it wants.
