when a lawyer takes a case on a contingous basis, taking 33 1/3 of the total money earned, and if there is attorney fees, court costs etc... does he also take that out of the cash amount awarded?, and is it possible that the client could wind up with nothing, and the majority of the money goes in the lawyers pockets, and not the clients?

Do you believe that the rich deserve their money? Do you believe that the poor deserve their lack of money? Do you believe that if we lived in a community of shared wealth it would be better for everyone? Do you believe that money really makes someone happy? Why should the poor have to suffer while the rich get richer?

Because the percentage of US capitol in the hands of the middle-class has been shrinking while that in the hands of CEOs has been increasing..... And the CEOs take their money offshore to avoid taxation, while Working People spend theirs on cars, shoes, food and everything that keeps the economy moving. If less money is being re-cirulated through the economy, wouldn't that explain why the economy is failing so badly under neocons?

..."Our enemies are innovative and resourceful - and so are we. They never stop thinking about new ways to harm our country and our people - and neither do we."

Is this how we can know that Bush is an honest man? Because he speaks gibberish?

Ok so i had an angry neighbor call the CAS on me(CPS equivalent) and of course the allegations were unfounded but while in the doctors office today i noticed a letter from the CAS thanking my doctor for speaking to them(here in ontario you have to sign a waiver to give consent for the doctor to speak with those officials) and i was blown away and shocked.
I kept reading and find that the CAS were able to ask and obtain my medical records in regards to my pregnancy.
I am very angry that these people were allowed to obtain information about me and my kids from my doctor, the doctor said he asked about a waiver and they claimed i signed one which i didn't.
Its not that i have anything to hide or anything like that i just feel that each patient child or adult has the right to doctor/patient confidentiality.
I just cannot believe that they were able to lie and get what they wanted and just wanna know from you out there do you think i have a right to file a complaint?

There's no doubt that these articles come from the independently owned news outlet "World Net Daily".

Liberals, I'm sorry if they expose to much truth and reality.


Please bear with me. I know it might be painful.

The Australian Institute has worked out the best Location for these Nuclear Power Stations Eg : the Most Suitable

Queensland: Townsville, Mackay, Rockhamton, Gladstone
Bunderberg, Sunshine Coast, Bribie Island.

New South Wales : Port Stephens,Central Coast,Botany Bay,Port Kembla, Jervis Bay / Sussex Inlet.

Victoria : South Gippsland, Western Port, Port Philip, Portland.

South Australia : Mt Gambier / Millicent, Port Adelaide, Port Augusta / Port Pirie.

I wonder how many of these Location would like such Nuclear Power stations in their back yards, And who are the sitting members in these locations.

Source can be found at

www.readersdigest.com.au

on the pros and cons of such .

But there is no mention of Western Australia, Tasmania , ACT, or the NT.

It would be very interesting to see how many are a liberal seat. or a labour seat.

I was told on Friday November 9th that the no contact order was lifted by my boyfriends probation officer. My boyfriend was supposed to meet with his po to sign papers on it. I am unsure if he did or not and I am feeling he didn't because he has not yet contacted me. Would the local police department know if the no contact order was lifted? I was told that my boyfriend didn't sign any papers and I don't even think he visited with his po on friday. The po advised me that he was to meet with him that day. What can I do? Do I wait for him to call or should I try to contact him. I am anxious to speak with him it has been a month since the situation with us has happened. Thanks.

In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.

We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved, and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.

Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.
— John McCrae

I live in Texas, and I was not aware of this at the time, but I have heard that he may have stolen my car because I was there and told him to drop the car. I was also told that I should have called the police because He took my car without my permission, OR a court order, and Because I was there on the scene He should have dropped it. Not only that but he asked for $75 to drop it, and then decided he was not going to accept the money. I have since paid for my car, but Can i file a compliant with the Police Department maybe an see if I can get my money back?
