I'm trying to be creative while explaining why individual states want to hold the earliest primaries and caucuses (caucii?).

But I think I sound drunk. Tell me if I do:

New Hampshire residents are more likely to vote for candidates that represent their needs. Theoretically, candidates that fail to do so are likely to drop out. This gives New Hampshire an advantage, because only the candidates that support New Hampshire’s needs are available for the rest of the states to nominate. This is a survival of the fittest. For the sake of comparison, in the snowy Himalayas, furry tigers may be more likely to survive than balder tigers. If the bald tigers no longer exist (because the environment “voted” for the furry tigers’, leaving the bald tigers to die or “drop out of the race”), only the furry tigers can roam to other parts of the world. Eventually, the sole survivor, or the “winner”, will have to be a furry tiger, which the Himalayas voted for in the first place.

I know, "I" certainly don't believe it! If it were true then California wouldn't have had 80+ hospitals declare bankruptcy in a couple of years!

Do you think this article is nothing more than propaganda when it is evident that illegals go to the ER and don't pay their hospital bills back because there is no way to track them?

As in " You know what, forget the guy behind me. He’s usually a POG and if he’s one of my own they'll understand." Just to sum it up, my love is a marine and he's describing that a lot of the guys are standing in line, on the ship, waiting for their turns to use the computers. ---I apologized for the "long email" that i sent him and wondered what the others guys behind him waiting in line must have thought.

I recently let my friend use my credit card to purchase a audio car player valued around $800. However, after bringing his car to the shop to get repaired, his car was broken into and the deck was robbed (it was already installed and working). He refuses to pay me now, even though I have VISA records of the purchase, as well as witnesses who saw our "casual" verbal consent of the agreement. What can i do? The shop also claims that they are not held responsible for any actions that take place on their lot. My friend says apparently there is some sign saying this. I'm unsure if his car insurance covers theft but it doesn't seem like an option.

P.S. I live in Ontario, Canada and $800 is quite valuable to me.

Son convicted-spent 17 days of 30 day sentence in MD Balt city det center. If he appeals the conviction, could he be convicted again and serve more time. If so, he wants to withdraw appeal he applied for. It is not worth one more day in that hellhole to win the appeal. He lost appeal because his atty was hospitalized and judge would not postpone case. Basically, a woman slapped him in a bar and he pinned her until her friends pulled her off of him, when he left, she called police and said she was assaulted, police arrested him walking home, he had no idea she had even called or he would have stayed at the establishment and told his side of the story. Not sure what to do with this one. Can appeal judge refuse to withdraw the appeal?

IDK ive been thinking about this lately...what if the US "democracy" was really just like a disguised. i mean, it is possible that the government is controling every aspect of our life. I mean, they could be reading this very question im writing! idk its frightening and weird at the same time. i mean, their is a possibility that if the government see's something that they don't like or if we find out something that we arent supossed to know, they could "dispose" of us (aka accidental fire, random drive by, etc.)....idk am i overthinking this. am i worrying that their is a nation wide conspiracy?

If the US were allowed to utilize more of her domestic energy resources, build more refineries, nuclear power plants. utilize coal to create gas, windfarms, oil platforms and alternative energy sources, would we be where we are today?

According to Wikipedia, in the United states Impeachment means:

" In the United States, impeachment can occur both at the
federal and state level. The Constitution defines impeachment at the federal level and limits impeachment to "The President, Vice President, and all civil officers of the United States" who may only be impeached and removed for "treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors."

Now look into the impeachment of Clinton:

" The Monica Lewinsky scandal was a political-sex scandal emerging from a sexual relationship between United States President Bill Clinton and a then 22-year-old White House intern, Monica Lewinsky. The news of this extra-marital affair and the resulting investigation eventually led to the impeachment of President Clinton in 1998 by the U.S. House of Representatives and his subsequent acquittal on all charges (of perjury and obstruction of justice) in a 21-day Senate trial. "
