Pubs are shutting faster than Gordon Brown's wallet and as smokers abandon their locals beer sales have plummeted to their lowest level since the 1930's.

Should those hypocritical politicians who excluded themselves from the ban on smoking in the workplace, perhaps re-consider the draconian rules which make smokers smoke out of doors and braving the elements?

After all the WHA's study on passive smoking, the largest and most far reaching one ever carried out, concluded it was harmless, and so refused to publish it.

Why can't normal smokers gather together and enjoy a drink or a meal with their cigarette when their MP's can?

Whatever happened to equality under the law?

Have you heard that the vest our military provides is not the best. Dragon skin is. But our military did one of those no bit contract things. Owner must have been a friend of someone who works for the government. Have you also heard that if the government spends a small fraction of the military they could save the lives of most of the solders lost. Something to do with the roadside bombs.

Carter and the Dems swore that no one had anything to fear from Khomeini.

I know in murders they have 1st degree and 2nd degree murder, but when it comes to statutory rape, thats all thats their. This means that a person who goes out and brutally rapes a child is the same as someone who sleeps with the person their dating.

Is anyone working on solving loss of tail rotor function from RPG's as seen in the movie "Black Hawk Down"? I've wondered this for many years, whether or not it's possible to design a system whereby tail rotor loss of function could be minimized by some kind of emergency jet propulsion in the tail section to produce the necessary thrust for safe control of the helicopter or by directing engine exhaust in a sidewards manner much like an engine reverse thruster to minimize or eliminate torque thrust. I'm also wondering why the military does not employ the NOTAR system in combat zone helicopters to mitigate being brought down by RPG's. Any helicopter engineers or pilots wish to comment?

My father died last April and my half brother is the executor of his estate so he has decided to put a price on all of the stuff and decided that whatever we want we take the price of it off of the money that we would be getting from his home but he has decided that we take the full amount instead of dividing it 5 ways (there are 5 of us). For instance his motorcycle has a price of $2000 so whoever buys it has to take $2000 away from the money that person would be getting instead of $1600 which is 1/5 less. Can anyone tell me how this is usually done. The lawyers wont tell me anything because they are my half brothers lawyers and not mine. We have to go and do this tomorrow so if there is anyone that knows how this is supposed to work or has been through this I would appreciate any advice.

I'm pretty educated (Bachelor's degree) and I'm pretty active in Politics as well...

But I have a heck of a time trying to explain the EC to my friends and family...

Even the Wikipedia page is kind of cryptic on the matter.

Its name was Socks. Did George Jr. run it over or did he die of old age?

I am speaking of bottled water. Todays corporations go right to the source, to the pristine mountian springs, and divert literally billions of gallons through their pumping stations on a daily basis, the enviromental impact of breaking this chain of nature can not be measured,and although a percentage of these bottles end up on American stores shelves, the majority are shipped overseas, and handed out at a cost to the American tax payer, while a handfull of men profit from the proceeds. It's the same with the oil industry, Water is our most precious resource, and we are allowing it to be sold to foreign nations. I feel that water, and oil, should be government controlled, and regulated, as it belongs to us, the masses. What has happened to our government? How can they allow this to go on? Especially taking into account the water shortages that we as a nation are facing today, It does not take a scientist to see the implacations of breaking this natural chain of nature ~ polution ~

Why does the US Military have so many different combat uniforms? I read that every service now has a different version. You cannot say each service has different uniform needs, because they are all fighting in the same enviroments. Other countries have universal service uniforms, and they work out just fine. So why so much variety in the US?
