Politics & Government - 17 November 2007

I watched the entire documentary about three times already. I definitely thing that is is worth watching and thinking about. They bring up some very interesting government topics that are worth our attention. I definitely say this is a must see movie. Draw your own conclusions, but I would like to hear some feedback on any of the issues they brought up. Here is the link if you haven't seen it.

Is it not the case that cars not only pollute the inner city, but also make it less people friendly? My mother wouldn't be so afraid in the evenings if other residents walked into town. Invalid pedestrians would have to be considered though.

so why the big fuss about an isolated incident in five years of conflict? The truth is without the draft we need Blackwater, triple canopy, and KDR to fill the manpower gap that cannot be filled with draftees from the general public.

They make a ridiculous amount of money, but it is cheaper than drafting and training thousands of new troops. will you thank a blackwater merc tonight for doing your "share" of the fighting in Iraq?

I am a marine so I am above the frey on this one

Dennis Kucinich really zinged him when he was talking about his vote for trade with China, when they have unsafe products. Edwards response: Uh, well uhh I think we need to make changes now... errr uhhh.... but it was still the right vote.

WHAT? and he attacked Clinton for not answering a question in a legitimate way.... wow. Edwards really has fallen.

BTW...this isn't for me. If 2 parents are divorced and the mother has sole custody, but the dad has always paid child support, can the mom legally change the last names of the children without the father's consent?
I'm not sure if this makes a difference but the mother and children live in Pa.

I have a 4 and 3 year old who have only seen their real father 3 or 4 times. He's been in and out of jail the past 4 years and just got out of prison yesterday. I'm not sure what he was in for except it was a Class D felony. I really want to have his rights terminated. He's not on the birth certificate of either child and never sees or asks to see them. He is now living in a homeless shelter. What are my chances of actually getting his right terminated and until then, does he really have any rights since he's not on the birth certificates? Any help would be most appreciated! THANK YOU

Parents in Maryland were threatened with JAIL TIME because they were making medical decisions for their children. It shouldn't matter how you stand on the vaccination issue...this is a direct assault on parents making INFORMED medical decisions for their children!

From the article:

Many of them complained that their children already were properly immunized but the school system had misplaced the records. They said efforts to get the paperwork straightened out had been futile.

"It was very intimidating," Territa Wooden of Largo said of the letter. She said she presented the paperwork at the courthouse Saturday and resolved the matter.

Was wondering if legally an employer must tell you prior that the company monitors internet traffic on its computers? Do they have to provide some sort of internet use policy? If so, can anything they monitor you for if you didn't know you are being watched be used against you in an unemployment compensation case? Guess it would be similar to being told you are being recorded on a telephone call where as you must agree or object. Thanks for the help!

We've habitually (or covertly) supported paramilitary dictatorships in the past?

(Pakistan comes to mind. As does Saddam Hussein.)

Are we not practicing what we preach?
