In my opinion, our 2-party system is broken beyond repair. Campaign finance laws gaurantee that big business not only dictates foreign & domestic policy, they actually write it. The needs of the middle class are completly and utterly ignored.

There haven't been any viable 3rd party candidates in almost a century. Perot and Nader were the closest thing, and they didn't even come close to winning.

Rock-the-Vote and campigns like it are simply a way that the 2-party system indoctrinates young people into believing they are making a choice. That's just not true. There is no real difference between Democrats & Republicans - they're equally inept and corrupt.

By not voting you do 2 things:
1. Send a message that you don't agree with any of the current candidates.
2. Create a fertile ground for a 3rd party candidate to come along and galvanize the non-voters.

The only way to change the system is for a 3rd party candidate to come along who sparks enough non-voters into action.

I am imagining an alternative legal system, which functions more like the civil courts than the criminal ones. The main difference is that charges msut be pressed by an -individual citizen-, and not by the legal system in general or any group of people. This means that each crime woudl have to have exactly one person who claims to the court that the act in question harmed them in some way. An interested party may act as a proxy when the direct victim can not speak for themselves, but would reasonably want chares pressed, such as murder. There would be three verdicts, guilty, not guilty, and undeterminable. Guilty is straightforward. Undeterminable means that innocence or guilt can not be proven either way, so no action is taken until such time as further evidence is found. Not guilty means the charges were found to be false and baseless, so the accuser is open to libel and slander charges.

There are two main functional differences to my system.

If they though it was just entertainment why did they want him to run for president.

I actually had a liberal guy on here who said there is truth in comedy, so he thinks it is true.

John Stewart is debating real life facts whether he claims it as entertainment or not, if people cheer an insult and boo facts like they did on his show that is propaganda and they are listening.

how can people be so dumb that calling it entertainment is just a way of agenda setting, some of you need to take broadcasting classes and you will know how agenda setting is used. It's all stations before some of you make ingorant Fox comments to make you feel better about the agenda you watch on CNN or ABC or CBS.

Don't fool yourself it's not just Fox.

Some of you people really can't be this ignorant can you?

Hillary believes the Federal Government can do everything better. Education and healthcare are just 2 shinning examples. Why not the oil business? The Democrats believe the Oil Companies polute too much so they must know how to do it cleaner. As they won't be out for obscene profits, we should be able to have $1.80 gas again. Sounds like a plan to me.

Ok I live in Richmond Va, and I have court on November 30th. I am the victim. I would like to know if anyone knows a way to drop charges quickly? The charges against the suspect are simple assault and attempted abduction. I am now just a witness for the state who is actually pressing the charges, I just have to show up and admit to what happened that night. However this person doesnt deserve this charge and I want to drop it. This situation has gotten way out of control and shouldn't have gone this far. Can I call the prosecutor to drop them? If I don't show up to court can I drop them that way ? Please help !!!

Hi there: I'm sued in L.A. for a credit card debt ($2,200) as I live in Puerto Rico. The judge, after an OSC hearing that apparently turned well for the plaintiff, scheduled a "Case Management Conference". What is that? Is that another procedural step or the case main hearing where the judge will hear the merits of the case? Thank you+++

In the state of California, can previous convictions be disclosed to the jury, during the course of a trial?

I can see the argument of relevance of previous convictions againts prejudicing the jury's decision, but just want to know if they can be used.

Specifically, I am thinking of a case of felony assault, where the accused was convicted of a similar felony six years ago, which was, consequently, reduced to a misdemeanor.

This week we learn that once again the EU's own hand-picked auditors refuse to sign the accounts because of 'serious discrepancies'. In other words EU bosses were once more caught with their 'snouts in the trough'. Presumably once more they will resign en-masse and, once more, re-appoint themselves! Next we hear that their daft rules mean mega-tons of perfectly edible dead fish are chucked overboard and UK fishermen are going bankrupt because those naughty Cod, Haddock, Whiting, etc. just can't recognise a Shrimp net! Only an accomplished halfwit could have dreamed up their idiotic quota rules - and only over-zealous, brain dead British public servants could be relied upon to enforce them! So what do this collection of cretins do for Britain?
