Politics & Government - 13 November 2007

aside from the fact that capitalism is a flawed economic system due to the "doughnut" effect. Keep pushing for more , more, more and the outer edge gets bigger but the innard gets thinner and eventually all is left is a thin, fragile wall. You can only have so many GM cars or houses, etc.

But what kind of republican thinks capitalism is a uniting economic system? it is 100% opposite of what United stands for.

If capitalism is all about the bigger fish eat the little fish, well sure sounds anit- American to me.

What happened to United We Stand? What happened to America by and for the people? What happened to the founding fathers dreams of Socialism?

I first knew Che Guevara from the film "Motorcycle Dairy", and i have learned that Che is an important figure of Communism in Latin America. However, I don't understand one thing about his controversial life. He is a successful military leader. Even though he was both physically and mentally strong because he was once a rugby player and travelled around the Latin America, it is too unusual for this middle-class young man to know how to organize the insurgents successfully without a military trainning, and i hope to know the detail about this part of his life. I don't care about your political perspective, but i hope that somebody can answer this question. Thank you.

I keep reading screeds of excuses for illegal immigration on YA. Supporters of Hispanic illegal immigration claim that Native Americans originally "owned" America. This logic of The Pro Illegal Activists concludes with an ardent belief that Americans have no right to tell foreigners to keep out of the United States...for ANY reason. What do you think of this land rights issue and of the, "This land belongs to everyone," movement?

What are my patient's rights in the state of Florida to get my records from a doctor's office? Can an office deny the records being sent to my primary doctor? I had some tests done at a specialist's office per my ENT's referral. I did not see the other specialist....I just went for the tests as the ENT has done with other patients. Now after three weeks of stalling me, the specialist is proclaiming that I must have an office visit with her before she will send the results to the ENT or to my primary doctor who started this whole thing anyway. (And meanwhile, I am not getting any treatment for how bad I feel!)

Considering the fact that some citizens don’t know how to control themselves, the government must find alternative ways to help educate American people that can be equally effective and less intrusive into their personal business.

Do you have any alternatives methods that can be equally effective and less intrusive?

I am 19 and live at home while going to school. I met a guy stationed at Ft. Benning, his parents live like 30 miles from me in Alabama. He wore a tan beret, Does that mean he's a Army Ranger? If so what do Rangers do? I really like this guy and he didn't want to talk about the war much so I never really asked.

It is always amazing to me when I listen to the news on NPR in the afternoon. NPR has interviews with various world leaders, influencers, congressional leaders, well known artists or writers, about topics of the day. Sometimes I flip over to Rush and he is going on, by himself, about liberals. I mean, is that all he got?

He missed some payment's because he broke his foot and he was out of work for a month. The item is a pool table. The lady called him and said that if he did not have the money in full which is 200 dollar's by friday that she was going to take him to small claims court. He told her that he would return the item to her and she said no she want's her money. Well i was wondering if we would lose this case if it does go to court...because he did offer to return it to her...it's in the same condition as of when he got it from her nothing wrong with it.

If anyone who reads this who was a ranger specifically could help.

I am 20, will be 21 in feb and would prob leave for basic training so I will be 21 for sure by the time I get to ranger school.

But I am not sure how this works as me being a new enlistee, will I automatically be turned down for being a Ranger? My recruiter told me he can get me Ranger School in my contract which obviously sounds really good because it sounds like I have an automatic chance of getting in if I pass everything.

I have complete confidence in being able to pass but I want to make sure before I sign my contract that it wont be a waste of time.....I dont want to just be a normal soldier.

my dad & sister are very extroverted & adventurous, while my mom & I aren't. yet, my mom has long work hours, so im usually with my dad & sis. they're doing this thing while driving that i m questioning if i should allow it & wat i should do: my dad sits in the drivers seat like normal, while my sis is in the passenger seat. thats not it, but should that b allowed? shes ten, but over 100 pounds. then, my dad's foot is on the petal and he lets go of the wheel, my sis then puts her hands on the wheel & steers the car. They do this a lot, & my dad even lets my sister's younger friends do this. it annoies me a lot bcuz its illegal to drive until ur 16, so i think thats illegal. however, my sis isnt exactly driving cuz her foot isnt on the petal, & also my dad is an excelent driver w/ fast reflexes, if that makes a difference. so, is it illegal?? what should I do? What should i tell them coz they dont listen 2 me? any other advie is appriciated. thanks!!!
