Politics & Government - 20 November 2007

A couple of months a ago, my twin sister and I were watching a talk show about pedafiles. I looked at her and we started talking about when we were children. This all started to bring back memories about this man that used to live in my aunts house, who later married one of my mothers's sisters. He molested us everytime we went over to that house. We talked to my other cousins and this happend to them too. What should we do? My sister and I are 33yrs. old. My cousins are a not that much younger. We tried to talk to him and he says we cannot do anything because its been so long. He is not scared at all. We were about 5 or 6 years old I believe. I need some advice. I have been doing some research but have not found the answeres I need.

To this day, 6 years after 9/11, our borders are WIDE open. Bush even authored and cosponsored a bill to give 12 million illegals amnesty. All of this because of the need of corporations for cheap labor. Because of his inaction, Americans are left to patrol the border on their own, without the protection or funding of the federal government. When will Bush put aside business interests and seal the borders?

The U. S. Department of Veterans Affairs reports:
Homeless veterans are mostly the vast majority are single, most come from poor, disadvantaged communities, 45% suffer from mental illness, and half have substance abuse problems. America’s homeless veterans have served in World War II, Korean War, Cold War, Vietnam War, Grenada, Panama, Lebanon, Operation Enduring Freedom (Afghanistan), Operation Iraqi Freedom, or the military’s anti-drug cultivation efforts in South America. 47% of homeless veterans served during the Vietnam Era. More than 67% served our country for at least three years and 33% were stationed in a war zone.

In addition to the complex set of factors affecting all homelessness -- extreme shortage of affordable housing, livable income, and access to health care -- a large number of displaced and at-risk veterans live with lingering effects of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and substance abuse, compounded by a lack of family and social support networks.

I have dreds and my daughter , who was an Assistant Manager for a major sports chain told me that during her training in regards to the company's hiring practices, she was told she could accept applications from, but could not hire anyone with dreds, a mohawk, or visible facial piercings. I haven't been able to secure a job for over a year now, even though I have a work history that is more than 20 years old in various fields, and I am wondering if this kind of hair hiring policy is across the board. What do you think?

Iranian-made weapons were among a large cache of arms and ammunition found during operations in a Shiite militia stronghold south of Baghdad, the Iraqi Army said Monday.

Major General Jamil Kamel al-Shimari, a senior officer in the 8th Iraqi Army Division, said the cache was the biggest store of weapons found since the launch of Operation Lion Pounce on Saturday.

Iraqi security officials said that 3,000 Iraqi soldiers and policemen supported by military tanks and hundreds of US and Polish troops launched the assault Saturday to flush out Shiite militants from the city.

The child step-mother has taken her out of state (Maryland)with my brother's other children and a judge in North Carolina granted her an order of protection against my brother with information that is false. The judge gave her custody of our niece (who is not hers) but did not know that we were avaliable to take her. We live in Virginia. Who do we call? The police in Maryland were going to file kidnapping charges but then she got the order of protection and now they say theres nothing they can do. So what can we do? My brother says he and the birth mother would sign over custody....we need this done very quickly...is there anyway? And please don't leave answers that tell me I should be thanking this women for taking her in or that we have no chance because this situation is not right at all!

Several weeks ago, my daughter's bike and my mower disappeared from my yard. I called the cops, but with nothing to go on, nothing ever became of it. I walked out to my mail box an hour ago and as I was standing there, some teenage boys that live in a house a block or so away from mine came driving by with their windows down and the passenger yelled "Thanks for the mower!" and the driver said "My sister thanks you for the bike, too!"

I looked over at their license plate- which was a personalize plate- not hard to remember- and came inside and called the cops.

If they'd only known when to keep their mouth shut...

Why not create a single state, with majority rule having the last say? It could have been arranged for Jews to immigrate to Palestine legally, but prevent them from displacing Arabs who had been living there for centuries.

My lawyer says he cannot ethically give information to an advance loan company & the loan cannot go forward without his cooperation but he's had my case since September of 2005 without results. Not even a response from the insurance company involved since he made the first demand in August 2007. I don't think my case is very important to him & I really need the money. There seems to be no recourse to make him take some action. Very frustrating.

You hear more and more about people dying of being tasered.

law enforcement calls tasers a less than lethal weapon that officers are trained to use to control potentially deadly situations. Well... if a person can die from being tasered, then I think they are " Lethal Wapons". They say that Tasers in itself does not cause a death.... Just like guns " in itself" do not cause death..... the people who use them do !

So are they saying that they DONT ask or give physicals to police officers or other people who are training to use the tasers and being tased as their training???
