Politics & Government - 24 November 2007

I have recently received a letter stating that my driver's license has been suspended under section 46 of the Highway Traffic Act because I did not pay for my fine(s). There's a problem with this though:

1. I have not driven since I got my license.
2. I have never been pulled over by an officer nor have I received a ticket.
3. I was unaware that I had any fine(s).

The problem with this is that they do have my correct mailing address and my driver's license number with my D.O.B. and everything else. I was just looking for some suggestions towards this issue. I'm guessing I have to fight this at a court, correct? The thing is, how would I get out of this since they have my driver's license number and everything correctly. It's going to be basically their word against mine. If I were to ask for proof of this trafffic ticket that they pulled me over for, could they not just make one up?

I just don't understand how any of this happened...
Any suggestion would be appreciated.

Why is it that political candidates seem to rely more on Muck-Raking campaign commercials rather than legitimate reasons why I should vote for them? We've all seen the commercials where candidate A didn't fund schools and spent the money on pay raises, or candidate B failed to reduce taxes and spent the money on liquor and cheap hookers. And we all know that candidate A/B totally approved of the message.

Why can't candidates give me good enough reasons to vote for them?

Situation: doing a paper on how RFk dealt with the 1) Cuban Missile Crisis 2) Organized Crime and 3) Corrupt Union Officials and that it was for these that he was assassinated.

Problem: Cant find books that support my thesis. I'm trying to avoid right-wing authors, cuz they will probably disagree with me. I NEED ALL THE HELP. You can also mail me later if you come across something useful. (add me for that matter to ur contact). Ooooh .... and I cant use the INTERNET as a source, ONLY written sources.

I'm trying to become a cop. It's what I want and I haven't been happier since I made the decision. Anyways, I had my interview with the psychologist and it was going really well in the beginning and then took an ugly turn. By the time he had asked me how much I had to drink the last time I did drink I was frustrated and upset because it didn't feel like it was going well at all. The point is, I lied and said one instead of two glasses of wine and didn't stop myself or correct myself. I have my interview and polygraph with the background and recruitment department coming up and I'm now curious to whether I have ruined any chance I had and went through all of this for nothing. And if you can't tell, I'm really stressed and nervous about this and afraid I have ruined my chances over something stupid and petty. So I'm just wondering how bad it is.

The new Prime Minister vows to pull all the Austrailian troops out of Iraq and to sign the Kyoto protocol (putting a cap on green house gas emissions) leaving the US as the only industrialized nation not to sign it.

If you look at words describing events in the middle-east you will see that people are misled . for example:

liberation of Iraq = anarchy and ethnic cleansing
peace = denying Palastinians any rights
democracy in the Arab world = Islamists taking power
democracy in Israel = 2 million Arabs are not represented by the 30% they should have in the government and the Knesset .
Islam = an enemy of the west
settlers = squatters who keep putting their hands on the Arab lands .
Palastinians attacking Israel = terrorists
Israel attacking Palastinians = self-defence

This so-called good hearted man is nothing more than a spoiler. He is exactly what the democratic party needs to win. It matters not what he calls himself, he will only affect the republican party. The more he increases in the polls, the better it is for any opposing candidate.

Do not forget the last idiot ,Nader! I am not in favor of a republican winning any more than I am against a democrat. I simply have ABSOLUTELY NO respect for spoilers. If he stays in the race and he will, look for it to be a sweep throughout the country.

This prop will increase in popularity. The more popular he becomes, the more embedded a democratic candidate is in becoming the next president of the USA.

Many of his supporters will one day cry in disbelief when Hillary wins. At which time, this man will fade like the last one. Where is Nader today? Why did he not run if he really wants to be president? He is spoiler, much like Ron Paul. Hillary chose the right time to run for office.

How can Conservatives possibly think this? Have they even heard a socialist speak before? There are real socialists in Canada and Europe, but here they are a very small party and they have not a fighting chance. Democrats are not even close to being socialist. Why do Conservatives say this and make socialism seem like a threat to the U.S. when it really is not a powerful movement in this country what so ever?

After what happend with Gore do you believe this election will be fair ?
I'm a little uneasy that my vote will not even count.
I am voting Ron Paul and even though he has excellent stats in the polls its like hes banned by the media.
It seems unfair and Im just wondering will this election be fair.

Reckless driving
Failure to use headlights
and expired insurance

But he only gave me the Failure to use headlights one
Though on the ticket all three are written down
only the headlight one is authorized though.

So, does anyone know how much this'll cost?

The media is warping your mind into thinking that only Hillary and Guilliani stand a chance. Folks, the election hasn't HAPPENED yet. The *primaries* are the most important part of this election. Dont be a fool for the media, and just vote for the so-called frontrunners. This being said, have you actually looked at the other candidates??
