Socialism: where the public have a say, and vote as to what happens in the government.

Facism: where all desisions are made by a small party with no public views/input.

The Patriot Act, spying on Americans without warrants, torturing people for information, secret prisons, indiscriminate bombing campaigns in Iraq, and Afghanistan, invading and occupying sovereign nations. The list goes on. Aren't you as an American disgusted with the behavior of our "leaders" and aren't you tired of your hard-earned tax dollars supporting these crimes?

Do you think it's ironic that Fred Thompson came to San Francisco and blatantly stated that he against civil unions for same sex couples. He has a lot guts to say that in SF, eh?

California's sex offenders are having a tough time with new restrictions, so many of them are declaring themselves homeless so that the state has a more difficult time tracking them.

Other states are experiencing problems as well, should you take the time to read the link that I'm providing.

If a person has a DUI charge in one state that they have not been convicted of yet and then gets another DUI charge in a different state, will the DA of either state take it into consideration that they now have two DUI charges and really throw the book at them? Or would the DA only be allowed to take actual convictions into consideration?

Bush said it was unfair to ask Mukasey about interrogation techniques on which he has not been briefed. "He doesn't know whether we use that technique or not," the president told a group of reporters invited into the Oval Office.

Further, Bush said, "It doesn't make any sense to tell the enemy whether we use those techniques or not."

So only the people in the adminstration are friends? Hes not telling us are we the enemy?

A group of my friends and myself are debating on whether or not child support is federal or state mandated. The group is pretty much split, with half saying it's federal and half saying it's state. But I say both, and they all think I'm full of it. What I mean by 'both' is that there is a National Child Support Enforcement System, and that, on the federal level, the Children and Families Administration of the Department of Health and Human Services provides a basic framework, so to speak, for federal legislation. HOWEVER, if the states do not wish to fully abide by all federal legislation, they don't have to [if it's only required in order to continue receiving funding]. Otherwise, yes, the states have to abide by the federal legislation. BUT, the states are free to pass their own legislation and create and enforce their own statutes and guidelines as long as they do not contradict the federal legislation [which is why many child support laws vary depending upon the state].

I see these posts about religious displays and disagreeing with what is being taught in schools. Do people here get involved in their community or just post about it online?
