Politics & Government - 7 November 2007

Is it the fact that the USD is reaching record lows on the international currency market and losing hegemony?
Is it the fact that the national debt has surpassed $9 trillion?
Is it the fact that personal income is being outpaced by inflation?
Is it because the financial sector is collapsing from losses in mortgage loans, which are likely to top $250 billion?
Is it because the cost of energy will reach a choke point within a few months?
Or is it the rosy data supplied by the government, low unemployment and low inflation, that proves to you that the economy is booming?
When did we start having the fox guard the hen house in the USA?

New York is preparing to issue licenses to illegal aliens.This is nothing less than official recognition that breaking the law is fine and dandy with the state.We are told that by issuing these documents to these law-breakers that they will be able to buy insurance thus making it 'safer' for the motoring public and "may" even cause rates of insurance,and accidents to be reduced.Here in New Mexico,we began a license program last year and so far there has not been any signs that either has occured.Point of fact,our DWI stats have increased.and insurance rates are rising instead.
Criminal Aliens do not abide by the rules-that is why we call them criminals,they won't buy insurance because what they don't spend on housing,they send the rest back to their country of origin.Insurance does not fit into their budgets.

“North American stock markets plunged in their biggest, single point-drop in history Friday. The sell-off ended a dismal week that wiped billions of dollars off Bay Street and Wall Street shares.”

“The Dow's plunge was its third 300-point drop in just four weeks, reports CBS News correspondent Anthony Mason. And the Dow has now fallen 800 points, or 6 percent, from its all-time high less than a month ago.”

Seriously, does any sane person think that a pro-war candidate stands a chance of winning the election or of even making it close? Republicans must adopt a position of being against attacking 3rd world countries that pose no threat to us and in favor of going after Osama bin Laden, not the Bush Doctrine of attacking 3rd world countries and starting a police state at home to distract the American people from the fact that he let Osama bin Laden get away.

Why do most Republicans continue to support fringe candidates like Giuliani or Thompson instead of backing the only candidate who can beat Hillary?

What would happen if we just worried about ourselves and cut ourselves off from the rest of the world? I have been debating this in my mind and I am just looking for different points of view.

Ok so the college i was attending kicked me out due to an illness in which the Dr asked for the absences in class and chapel to be excused which is the policy in the handbook I provided the school with the necessary documents but they still kicked me out, I was harassed and told that I shouldn't be at there school because of the religious denomination which is different from theres, there is nothing that says you cant attend their school because of what church you attend so they committed religious discrimination, they also treated me differently then white students, I had a roommate that was caught with lots of alcohol in the suite and she didnt get in trouble and she was white, the school also told me many times that I was incapable of doing the course work, Ive been on the deans list and presidents list so Im not stupid and fully capable of doing the work. So my question is this what can I sue for discrimination, harassment, and wrongful eviction of my dorm room,emotional distress?

Does this make me a sexest?

Margaret Thatcher was an unflinching and principled world leader. During an uncertain and dangerous time in history, she stood strong with Ronald Reagan and together they defeated Communism. Hillary Clinton is a two-term New York senator and a former first lady who survived the scandals of her husband’s tumultuous presidency. Whenever challenged or out maneuvered, she typically plays the victim. They are two very different women, indeed.

So instead of talking to a recruiter yet, I'd rather ask for peoples opinions.

I'm currently 18 finishing up Highschool. I planned to go into the Airforce for 1) the experience & 2) help for college

Now heres my problem. I thought I only had to enlist for 2 years for the GI Bill ( why I don't know ) so after reading a lot of questions on here, I figured out the normal is 4 years of active duty, which ruined everything since I won't be going into the AirForce till I am 19 and that means I'd be getting out at 23 and than begining college and not graduating till 27 ( see the delema ? )

Now I know there is rare occasions of getting the GI Bill for 2 - 3 years of enlisting active, but I'm not going to rely on that.... Soo is the reserve program any good ( I know the info about it ) but will it help that much for college? & will my experience in the military still be worth it off a reserves program?

They have creative ways of bullying, such as name calling, sneering at progressive ideals, attempting to discredit the nature of liberals. When it happens, it is done in a very hateful fashion, and it is continuing to escalate at an exponential rate. Why?

I am in the middle of a custody fight, and I received emails from two of my children's email accounts while they were visiting with my ex and received two scathing emails from them that I know as their mom they did not write. Is there an area of forensics that specializes in determining from different samples of the children's writing whether or not they actually wrote these emails? Also, I'm pretty certain they didn't even send them. I believe that he logged onto each of their accounts and wrote them and sent them to me. If he did this from his office, how can I from the emails I've received be able to determine which computers these emails were written and sent from? If you know, please respond. Only serious answers from people who know. I'm working against a clock this all transpired after hours when lawyers arent available to talk to. I need to do some internet research quickly. So far my keywords arent pulling what I need. If you can help, please answer. If you cannot, please dont
