They don't need to. From an engineering standpoint, ID is fascinating... in fact many of the scientists who investigate ID happen to be engineers, and they are all about DESIGN. Isn't it about time we took a refreshing new look at Darwinism, and shake off the musty orthodoxy that has descended upon the theory?

I read this story, and I was shocked to see that I actually agree with Bush. He is not attacking americans or making our life worst in this one instance. He is acting like he cares about how we live. A rare occasion.
Perhaps, I missed it, but he seems to be on the right side this time.

I bought a car from JD byrider in Feb of 07 ( 2002Chrysler 300m). After having the car in my posession about a month, I learned I had a 2,000 dollar problem. I took the car to the dealership (someone other than who they referred me too) and had the car checked and fixed. Last month the car needed a head gasket replaced at the cost of 6,000 dollars and I was out of my car for 3 weeks (walking, while still making a payment of 464 monthly. A warrenty they sold me covered all of the repairs except the 500 I paid (things that weren't covered. I have my car back and everything is fine.The repairs were not deemed my fault but as problems that already exsisted. My question is... didn' they sell me a lemon? What are my rights under the law in Illinois, and if any whom do I contact regarding being sold a bad car. The warranty company is whom repaired the car (jd had nothing to do w/ repairs). I just feel ripped off, and it would be nice to be compensated for my loss of a car.

Selling Your Vote ?
The dumbing-down of America's youth is in full swing . A poll of NYU students indicates the utter nonsense and irresponsibility of the majority of our youth . Misguided , ill-informed and irresponsible . Not entirely the kids fault though . As you will see in the attached news story , even one of their teachers is nuts enough to think that selling one's vote is somehow an 'admirable' quality . Read this poll and then I'd appreciate your comments .

According to the report, a survey of 3,000 students conducted by an NYU undergraduate journalism class found that an overwhelming majority of those polled said their right to vote could be for sale; in addition to the 66 percent who said they'd trade their vote for a free year of college, 20 percent said they'd exchange their vote for an Ipod Touch. Half of the students polled said they'd forfeit their right to vote forever for $1 million.

Dalton Conley, chairman of NYU's sociology department, told Politico.com that the results are actually encouraging. The high price tag most students put on their vote showed that they actually think the right to vote is very valuable and important.

I came home yesterday and my laundry room was destroyed and my dog's cage was moved around and boxes were all over the place and there was no evidence of tampering with my front door...plus I have a dead bolt. I stay in an apartment complex and my maintenance guy is ALWAYS around my building. I literally see him every single day and he always goes out of his way to speak to me. No one but myself and my husband and maintenance have the key. What can I do with no proof? I don't have any type of surveillance electronics nor do I have the money to get any. Please help me because I'm getting really scared.

I have a little idea. I seem to always come up with "little Ideas" and most of the time they amount to nothing. BUT here is my latest idea;

I have the perfect little setup. a small business in a small Alabama town. lots of foot traffic and the right kind of customers for this type of thing.

My idea, on sunday's go buy lottery tickets (quick picks for the "big one"). and then sell them for $3 to $5.

I see the possibility of being able to sell maybe 500 tickets or more per-week. Not a gold mind, but nice extra money.

Quick picks only. E.g. when I sold a ticket it would be a single ticket for cash, the customer walks away with ticket in hand.

IS it legal to do this? If you are not certain then, respectfully, don't answer please. Lawyers.... got your ears on? =)
Thanks.

State Dept. Inspector General Alvin Krongard, amid controversy over his alleged refusal to hold contractors in Irag accountable, had to recuse himself from the Blackwater investigation when it was revealed that his brother is on their board of directors. Doesn't anyone have a problem with Dick Cheney owning Haliburton stock?

I know that there are support groups for adoptees. My adoption was not legal, and it will be almost impossible to find my family. I have very little information to go on. I do know that I have brothers and/or sisters that were born after me, and possibly two siblings born before I was. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.

During the 60s, liberals were leading the civil rights movement, the protests against the Vietnam War, and trying to change the system. Conservatives, by definition, remained loyal to authority.

==============
INTERESTING ARTICLE ON ROMNEY DURING THE 60s. SOME EXCERPTS

Mr. Romney described it as “a very interesting firsthand view of a very volatile setting.” But his friends say the strikes were terrifying and reinforced their respect for authority. “The social system failed. The country came to a stop,” said Byron Hansen, another missionary and now a car dealer in Brigham City, Utah. “It affected me and I am sure it affected Mitt.”

The missionaries had often met with hostility over the Vietnam War. “Are you an American?” was a common greeting, Mr. Romney recalled, followed by, “‘Get out of Vietnam! Bang!’ The door would slam.” But such opposition only hardened their hawkish views. “We felt the French were pretty weak-kneed,” Mr. Hansen said.

The first amendment refers specifically to Congress. I was wondering if that meant that the President could issue an executive order denying certain people freedom of religion.

Thanks in advance for any info.

Will the antichrist be able to defeat the US military? If so how will it happen? If he takes control will the military know it is being led by him? Will they be tricked into thinking he is a noble person?

This is only for people that believe heavily in scripture; How will the antichrist and his army compare to the USA army. Does the USA army stand a chance in defeating him head on?

And please far left loons save me from having to hear you say "Bush is the atichrist" as it is so predictable.

Please give me a very serious answer.

In the movie "Man of the Year" Robin said:

"Politicians are like diapers and should be changed frequently".

Think about the rising gase prices , then ask yourself who (democratic or republicans) has done anything to keep gas prices from rising the way they have.

Would replacing everyone (senators, representatives, and president) next election put the fire under the seats of our politicians?

Would these debates be more informative if we had candidates from different parties answering these questions?
So Hillary and Rudy and Edwards and Romney could answer the same question, the the same stage?
Also, during the general election, there are only two candidates, MAYBE three. If there are political parties with candidates on the ballot in all 50 states, or at least enough to hypothetically win the Electoral College, why are they denied the right to speak their vision for America in front of a national audience? Why only two or three candidates?
