I went for my physical and drug screen last week and signed a conditional offer of employment to be a probation officer. Two days ago I called to see if they had received the drug screen and physical and was told they hadn't yet. The woman stated that on a "side note" if the physical and drug screen came back fine, she still couldn't hire me because there is a hiring freeze in Fl. Is this normal? Do you think maybe they didn't like something on the drug screen or physical and they were making excuses? Both should be fine. I just thought it was so weird to offer me that and talk about the academy etc. and then when I think everything is good to go...be told there is a hiring freeze and I will be put on a waiting list.

Hypothetical question . . . Assume that the U.S. Constitution was authored solely by Christians (or people who were immersed in the Christian culture). . . Now, make the same assumption with a different religion . . . Budists (sp?), Jews, non-believers . . . What would the overall affect on our country be . . . the words of the Constitution have not changed . . . only the religious beliefs of the authors . . . Do you think the intent would be interpreted differently?

I have a friend, let's call him X, he auditioned for Fame Academy.

He also auditioned for Vote For Me, the ITV show to become an MP, but he was deemed too intelligent by the producer of the show.

I am also this friend and invented the fast dial telephone and the keypad will replace QWERTY.

Despite my best efforts, I have turned to yahoo answers. I want to have a political yard sign but it seems the billions spent on campaigning are for not. Where can I find a political yard sign that is endorsed by the candidate, none of this indy, people riled up crap made in someone basement. The candidate I would like to support is Joe Biden. He's a democrat and in case it isn't obvious already, he's a presidential candidate.

When I arrive at the airport after a journey abroad, do the officials at the border control look up my green card A-number on the computer? I think I am out of status, as I took a permanent job in Canada at a University. Will I be able to keep my green card? I'm worried as I'm about to fly into LAX next month after a conference. Also I frequently fly to California to see my girlfriend. I want to keep my green card because it is much cheaper to fly to and from America to Australia than to and from Canada. So I like to pop over to Seattle to fly to Europe or Australia. I left America for good three years ago, but I always tell the officials at the American border that I'm on sabbatical. So far it seems to work.

even if those view differ from yours? or would you rather live in a country where everyone falls in line and follows and believes what the government says,and if they do have doubts keep it to themselves...for the sake of putting up a a solid united front? Given a choice between those two situations only (no other), which do you think serves the nation better in the long run and is healthier for freedom?
