Is it because they are generally more informed and EDUCATED? Maybe they are more "well-to-do" and are not as influenced by money.

He just rubs me the wrong way, figuratively speaking. His politics are ultra-conservative, which is enough to turn me off, but his whiny voice is so annoying. I admit, though, he appears to address important political affairs with enthusiasm. Too bad he's espousing the goodness of the wrong party!

The National Writers Union is the trade union for freelance and contract writers: journalists, book authors, business and technical writers, web content providers, and poets. With the combined strength of nearly 2,000 members in 16 chapters nationwide, and with the support of the United Automobile Workers (UAW), the Union works to defend the rights and improve the economic and working conditions of all writers.

War Will Hit Working People
February, 2003
By a vote of 55 to 16 (with 4 abstentions) the NWU's national governing body, the Delegates Assembly, adopted the following resolution opposing a war against Iraq:
________________________________________
WHEREAS, over 100 trade unionists from 76 local, regional and national unions, central labor councils and other labor organizations (see details below) representing over 2 million members gathered in Chicago for an unprecedented meeting to discuss our concerns about the Bush administration's threat of war; and
WHEREAS, union members and leaders have the responsibility to inform all working people about issues that affect their lives, jobs and families, and to be heard in the national debate on these issues; and
WHEREAS, the principal victims of any military action in Iraq will be the sons and daughters of working class families serving in the military who will be put in harm's way, and innocent Iraqi civilians who have already suffered so much; and
WHEREAS, we have no quarrel with the ordinary working class men, women and children of Iraq, or any other country; and
WHEREAS, the billions of dollars spent to stage and execute this war are being taken away from our schools, hospitals, housing and Social Security; and
WHEREAS, the war is a pretext for attacks on labor, civil, immigrant and human rights at home; and
WHEREAS, Bush's drive for war serves as a cover and distraction for the sinking economy, corporate corruption and layoffs; and
WHEREAS, such military action is predicted actually to increase the likelihood of retaliatory terrorist acts; and
WHEREAS, there is no convincing link between Iraq and Al Qaeda or the attacks on Sept. 11, and neither the Bush administration nor the UN inspections have demonstrated that Iraq poses a real threat to Americans; and
WHEREAS, U.S. military action against Iraq threatens the peaceful resolution of disputes among states, jeopardizing the safety and security of the entire world, including Americans; and
WHEREAS, labor has had an historic role in fighting for justice; therefore
We hereby establish the "U.S. Labor Against the War" (USLAW); and
Resolve that U.S. Labor Against the War stands firmly against Bush's war drive; and
Further resolve that U.S. Labor Against the War will publicize this statement, and promote union, labor and community antiwar activity.

There are so many young people who hate Bush. When I ask them why, they just say he's dumb. I'll ask what makes him dumb and they'll shrug their shoulders and have no answer. They have no answer for anything. I personally respect anyone who makes it to the presidency. I don't care if they're democrat or republican. No matter what president we have, people have problems with them. But it seems to be the mainstream thing to hate Bush. All the celebrities hate him, so all the kids do. No one ever thinks for themselves anymore

Well, is there any chance you could stop it because you're doing far worse to me and my family (and the environment) than a billion smokers ever could hope to achieve? I am sick of sucking in your carbon monoxide, benzene, formaldehyde, sulphur dioxide, nitrogen dioxide and other fumes. PLEASE STOP DRIVING AND USING ANY TYPE OF TRANSPORT NOW!

It seems a day never passes when a Republican doesn't make a statement which shows how out of touch they are. I laughed when Tony Snow said he had to quit because his six figure salary wasn't enough to support his family.

Now, I hear Giuliani state that the reason we shouldn't have universal health care is that he would have had less chance surviving in the UK when he had cancer, than his chance in the U.S. Even if one believes his statistics, what good is better health care to the millions that can't afford to pay for it or for insurance?????

Are we fighting amongst ourselves and therefore, in complete control of when to start and stop the battle? Last I saw we were fighting insurgents in Iraq, if we stop fighting them, will they stop fighting too?

A friend of mine ordered a phone+contract from Phones4u a few months back and got 2 phones to his surprise. He didn't react to it, but realised a few months later that he got charged for 2 contracts. He phoned Phones4u and even though theyadmit that a "technical glitch" caused them to accidentally put the order through twice and thus send 2 phones, they say he's reacted too late and will have to sit out BOTH contracts. This doesn't seem fair to me. Is there some place where he can complain?

I think that the Americans don't actually care about Iraqis (there is no evidence that they do) and the only reason they oppose the war is because we are losing, if we were winning, everyone would be supporting it. Afterall, I think the American populace (throughout just about all of our wars) has supported the military action when we were winning, but not when losing (i.e. WWII vs. Vietnam)

My dad made some stupid business moves and owes people money, well my old man hit the street and now these people want their money. Obviously we don't have it and need to know if there is any legal way that I can have them stop harrassing us? My old man never signed any contracts or is there proof of anything, it was all verbal. Should I go to the police and give them the story. Maybe get a restraint order? I haven't done it because I dont want a full on investigation and have my family now under legal issues, since I dont know any details of anything. thanks.

Your boss gives her brother in law (a co-worker of yours) the credit card for what ever reason.

You go to lunch and he offers to buy lunch. You say no thanks, you're not really hungry. He insists and puts it on that credit card. This happens everyday for about a month. You eat it of course, it's food and it's lunch time.

You get your pay check at the end of that month and your boss holds out the amount of money for the lunches. And tells you not to do that again.

Should YOU have to pay for all of that? OR should the brother in law foot the WHOLE bill since you a) never asked, and b) didn't tell him to pay for it with that credit card...

Ok, my Sister, was borrowing our Grandfathers car and was with her husband, and she said she had to run to the store, so he let her borrow it, ( and yes she has her drivers liscence as she is 45) My Grandfather is very protective of his car, so he asked her to hurry up, so...they go to the store and stop to get ciggerettes at the gas station and gas, and on the way back the police stopped them, and asked if they had any drugs in the car, they both said no, and asked why he asked them this, and the cop said he saw them talking to a Black guy, who was well known for selling drugs and was absolutely convinced that she had "something" on her! She explained she did not, and let him search the car, (which he found nothing) and he demanded that she give up what she had hideing on her!
She again stated he was wrong, and she had no idea what he was talking about, so he got mad and said that if she did'nt give it up, he would take the car and have it impounded! To be continued......(edit)
