Is it true that if you have to go to court for a speeding ticket you won't have pay anything if the officer who wrote the ticket does not show up. I got the ticket in Atlanta two weeks ago. Any idea how this works? I have never gone to court before and I haven't received a ticket in 16 years. Any help would be appreciated.

I see it frequently in here the high oil prices are Bush's fault. To all of you that think it's Bush's fault, tell me how the President can do anything to change the price of oil? Can he write a presidential memo and make it go up or down? If he were to order all the troops out Iraq today whould that make the price go up or down? If he were to request Congress legislate the price of oil( how long would it take Congress to act anyway) would that have any effect?

If a Democrat were President would there be anything different and why?

Can US Government really do anything to effect the price of oil on the world market?

I've been asked by the city of Frankfurt to provide information on the people for whom the following streets on the now closed Rhein Main Air Base were named. It's possible that streets on other air force bases were named after them also. They are: Hewell Road, Ellis Road and Boyd Road. Any historical information on any of these gentlemen would be appreciated.

Wow did I get some angry responses when I stated in another question that I believe the true reason, which of course could not be stated publicly, that we occupy Iraq is to have a military presence next to Iran... People say that we shouldn't worry that Iran could have a nuke in a few years, that the president isn't a fanatic... Here's FACTS that can't be disputed: Iran has attempted to obtain nuclear technology from many different lands. We gave Iran a nuclear reactor, in fact,my grandfather was one of the scientists who went to Tehran to help the Shah get his reactor going, before the revolution. Iran has at least 3 HIDDEN, UNDERGROUND nuclear facilities with concrete and rocks protecting them from attack. The president has PUBLICLY STATED that he wants to destroy us and Israel. He has given speeches infront of a US flag with SKULLS as the stars and stripes ending in bombs.
If your neighbor was doing this to you, would you call the cops? I think Bush gave us untruthful answers

Of course Gulf War I resulted in Kuwait being a model democracy full of civil liberties. That's why we can be confident the same will happen in Iraq. Right?

This weekend Senator Thompson on Meet the Press said he did not support constitutional amendments to protect life and marriage. Senator Thompson's comments were disappointing and disheartening for those who were expecting him to be a solid voice for conservatives.

Any Comments?

My children's (twins) father has been "voluntary" paying me $400 monthly for child support since they were born except for 7 months.
As those payments were very low and not consistent : I applied for child support services thru the state of Florida.
Last March (after nearly 2 years of my application)a child support order has been finnaly established for $600 monthly for both children.
BUT no retro has been ordered for those 7 months he did not pay at all.
He had an attorney not me just the State representing me...
What can I do in order to collect this retro?
If I hire an attorney could he do the job? what will be the approximatevely cost?
Thanks in advance for any advices

I watched the debate, and I could have swore that it was the other Dems who jumped on that. And is it really so complicated that you can't be for it or against it? I'm against it. Here's the story:

LAS VEGAS (AP) – Former President Clinton on Monday compared Republican criticism of his wife's position on driver's license for illegal immigrants to the ads that helped sink John Kerry's White House hopes in 2004.

"I had the feeling that at the end of that last debate we were about to get into cutesy land again," Clinton told some 3,000 members of the American Postal Worker's Union at a convention.

At the end of a televised Democratic presidential debate last week, Hillary Rodham Clinton hedged on whether she supported a plan by her home state governor, New York's Eliot Spitzer, to issue licenses to illegal immigrants.

Republicans — and her rivals for the Democratic nomination — quickly criticized her answer, accusing her of trying to have it both ways.

But Bill Clinton said the issue is too complicated for sound bites.

"It's fine for Hillary and all the other Democrats to discuss Governor Spitzer's plan. But not in 30 seconds — yes, no, raise your hand," he said.

First, this piece appeared on the front page of Daily Kos. It is self-explanatory:
As U.S. casualties have continued to drop, many people on the anti-Bush side of the aisle have begun to quietly panic in recent days over this question: “Could George W. Bush and Frederick Kagan have possibly been right about the surge?”

The fact that Democrats and the left would "panic" over winning the war tells you all you need to know about the shockingly ******** priorities the left holds regarding America. They would rather see us lose in Iraq than shown to be wrong.

Second - George Monbiot - pens a piece for Alternet in which he dearly hopes that we go into a deep recession:

I recognise that recession causes hardship. Like everyone I am aware that it would cause some people to lose their jobs and homes. I do not dismiss these impacts or the harm they inflict, though I would argue that they are the avoidable results of an economy designed to maximise growth rather than welfare.

What I would like you to recognise is something much less discussed: that, beyond a certain point, hardship is also caused by economic growth.

Hardship caused by economic growth? Apparently, poor Mother Earth can't take all this economic success:

On Sunday I visited the only UN biosphere reserve in Wales: the Dyfi estuary. As is usual at weekends, several hundred people had come to enjoy its beauty and tranquillity and, as is usual, two or three people on jet skis were spoiling it for everyone else. Most economists will tell us that human welfare is best served by multiplying the number of jet skis. If there are two in the estuary today, there should be four there by this time next year and eight the year after. Because the estuary's beauty and tranquillity don't figure in the national accounts (no one pays to watch the sunset) and because the sale and use of jet skis does, this is deemed an improvement in human welfare.

Perhaps they could ban jet skis. So what's the solution?

The massive improvements in human welfare -- better housing, better nutrition, better sanitation and better medicine -- over the past 200 years are the result of economic growth and the learning, spending, innovation and political empowerment it has permitted. But at what point should it stop? In other words, at what point do governments decide that the marginal costs of further growth exceed the marginal benefits? Most of them have no answer to this question. Growth must continue, for good or ill. It seems to me that in the rich nations we have already reached the logical place to stop.

You read that last part correctly. Mr. Moonbat wants economic growth to "stop." Of course, the consequences would be predictable:

But because political discourse is controlled by people who put the accumulation of money above all other ends, this policy appears to be impossible. Unpleasant as it will be, it is hard to see what except an accidental recession could prevent economic growth from blowing us through Canaan and into the desert on the other side.

That's the ticket. Let's stop economic growth, dive into a ruinous depression, and have everyone live off the government dole as God intended.

In 1910, there was $3,148,700,000 in circulation in the United States. In 2000, there was $571,121,194,344 in circulation in the United States. The Federal Reserve prints it, and then "pays it out" to banks and lending institutions. Is this a Federal give away? Should I start a bank? It cannot be a loan, because a loan would have to be paid back, with interest, from the current pool of money. That would shrink the supply, not expand it. How does this cash get into circulation without having to be returned to the Feds? I have seen numerous answers about this, but none seem to directly address this question. Who has been paid this 565 billion dollars over the last 90 years in order to get this cash into circulation?

What even with the great surge? I guess the more Americans you put in danger the easier it is for the freedom fighters to pick them off. I wonder if there are any Americans left that actually think this war will end well for them? I guess it is easier to just trust Bush and not think about the reality of it for some simple minded people.
