If you are taken to the emergency room in IL and you do not pay the fees (which are extremely high for simply lying in bed taking a urine test) can they put you in a collection agency? Is there a way to argue the fees without having to go to court and getting a lawyer?

Most of us know our troops will be in Iraq for some time, and not be coming home right now, so those who may say to come home, please try another wish. Thanksgiving is upon us now, so what is your wish for them?

And why does Tom Tancredo seem to be the only politician speaking out on this?

Why are all of the other politicians so spineless and phony?

Where's our so called for the people politicians such as Harry Reid, Hillary Clinton, Nany Pelosi, John Murtha, John Kerry, Dick Durbin, Barbara Boxer, Diane Feinstein, and Ted Kennedy support for such an idea like this?

Whether you agree with Tancredo on other political issues or not, you have to admit that he's right on this one.

One language helps us work, live, and communicate together effectively.

It's the glue of a nation.

Fascism is an authoritarian (= non-democratic) political ideology that considers individual and other societal interests subordinate to the interests of the state. Fascists
seek to forge a type of national unity, usually based on ethnic, cultural and 'racial' attributes. Various scholars attribute different characteristics to fascism, but the following elements are usually seen as its integral parts: nationalism, statism, militarism, totalitarianism, anti-communism, corporatism, populism, collectivism, and opposition to economic and political liberalism.

In Switzerland we haven't a Fascist movement but a very strong nationalist extreme right-wing party that respects neither the constitution, nor the separation of powers, nor the parliament. It won the October elections (26 % of the seats in the parliament) - will say it's growing and growing ...

It really exposes their level of hypocrisy towards tolerance. Apparently its NOT okay to make negative remarks against Islam but it encouraged to bash Mormons and Christians.

I'm sorry I don't know their names, but the two border patrol agents who shot the illegal alien drug smugler rot in prison and the guy is arrested again for drug smuggling. He was the states star witness and now he's doing exactly what the agents said he was doing. Do you believe they really deserve to be in prison?

Creators Syndicate - Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-N.Y.) raised eyebrows in Iowa today when she refused to respond to a supermarket cashier's question about her preference for paper or plastic bags, calling the inquiry "totally hypothetical."

"This paper-or-plastic business is one of those 'gotcha' questions that I'm not going to get into," Clinton said

Five months after elections failed to produce a government many Belgians are beginning to feel that life might just be better without politicians.

The Belgian state is experiencing its worst political crisis for 177 years as it marks 149 days of failure to produce a coalition government after elections on June 10.

But life has continued as normal for most people as the protracted negotiations and squabbling between 11 Francophone Walloon and Dutch-speaking Flemish political parties drags on and on.

On her way home through a bustling Brussels rush hour, 27-year old Nadine Vandenbosch wondered what Belgium's political class is for.

"We may have gone without a government for a record time but nothing has changed. People still go to work. We pay taxes. The Metro runs on the time. If they are not careful they will realise that we Belgians don't need them," she said.

opinions?

We have a general secretary in our office who answers phones, handles office memos, the usual. Lately she hasn't been giving me my messages and leaving me out of office memos, which in turn, makes me look bad. I have no idea weather this is intentional or if she's completely incompetiant. But I'm wondering if I should talk to her directly of if I should tell my boss first.

I would like to ask all the people who are pakistanis and are in favor of Benazir Bhutto to become the next Prime Minister of Pakistan. A Corrupt ex-prime minister whose husband has spent 10 yrs in jail for his crimes. Is Benazir Bhutto really the less evil of the two. I would like to know what you think? and why do u think so? Let me make it clear I am totally for democracy I have lived in Pakistan during the time it was a democracy and I have also lived in Pakistan after Musharraf took over. From my point of view, after musharraf came things were alot better than they were before. Education, Media, and Technology etc. I have lived in Pakistan when there were frequent shoot outs when Sharif was president, but never happened when musharraf took over. Do you think democracy can work for all the countries in this world?And media, Musharraf is the one who gave media the permission to start private tv stations. Do you think media should have responsibility over what they r suppose to show?

Zimbabwe's Military on "high alert":

Their Army:
http://uk.news.yahoo.com/afp/20071119/img/puk-zimbabwe-britain-milita-faf8b66c5c200.html

So apparently, according to some African man, the British are going to invade Zimbabwe and take back their African colonies, assasinate African leaders and give the farms back to white people.

What are your thoughts on this? Is Mugabe a madman, or is this the start of another Imperial era? Can Britain afford to get involved in another war?

I say YES, invade Zimbabwe.

So the US and the UK (soon-to-be "British Empire"?) are scheming against the poor Zimbabweans.

The next round of polling data will show a dramatic drop in support for the candidacy of Hillary Clinton for President. We know this because of the precedent set by John McCain and Senators Harry Reid, Lindsay Graham, and Trent Lott who all experienced massive drops in their support levels after making the mistake of coming out in favor of assistance for or amnesty for illegal aliens instead of enforcement of our existing immigration laws.

Hillary Clinton will take the “McCain Plunge” because of her recent support for licenses for illegal aliens and subsequent flip-flop on the issue.

By coming out in support of licenses for illegal aliens she has taken a stance that national polling data shows 77% of Americans disagree with! Then by reversing her stance to oppose licenses for illegal aliens, she has angered the 15% of Americans that support the program. All the while, she has shown 100% of Americans that either side of the immigration debate cannot trust her! The results will be a first class campaign killer that will send Hillary’s support numbers down on a deadly spiral similar to the “McCain Plunge” that took him from the first place spot in the GOP Primary to 4th place due to his overt support for “Comprehensive Immigration Reform” which is widely viewed as Amnesty for illegal aliens.
