I recived a paper in the mail stating that my license has been revoked because i was arrested, BUT i was never arrested.

Can i take this to court and get my licinse back because of false information? (i was in the hospital the day they claim i was arrested!) Do i need to contact a lawyer? i have two m.i.p.s but i was never driving when i was caught and i still never got arrested! im already 18 and i dont get why this affects my driving.

My mother has a will in which she handed over the contents of everything she owns to one particular business. My mother is bipolar and she made this new will while off her meds. Thankfully my mother is better but pride and shame are keeping her from revoking or making a new will. She will grant me power of attorney in case she goes off her meds again, but is there anything that can be put in the power of attorney to dismiss, revoke, or cancel out her current will that was made while she was ill? I really don't want to get into a legal battle with said company over something they know was created while my mother was ill.

Sounds as if helping the poor is anti American .

He has not built palaces for him and his family .

He has built schools and hospitals for the people .

Why is it that people say he is a leftist , when clearly he is a humanitarian who is helping the poorest people in his country and helping our poor people also .

Helping the poor can get you in trouble it seems .. Unless you do it to get oil leases or mineral rights or something of value like a military base .

I wonder why people attack Chavez who seems only to have the needs of the poorest people in mind .

Speculative funds sloshing around the world markets create an inherent instability while undermining the real economy and progressive policies at a national level. Currency speculators trade over 1800 billion US-$ each day across borders - about 90% of the currency trade is speculative!

In the globalized economy, there is a lack of adequate funding for global problems such as disease, poverty and hunger. Global climate change, deforestation, population growth and unemployment, declining fisheries and pollution threaten local communities worldwide. Projects which could help to address these needs and create jobs will cost more than 400 billion US-$ annually. Private donors don't meet the need, and some nations have cut their aid budgets.



THE PURPOSES OF A TOBIN TAX

The primary purpose of a Tobin Tax is to curtail the huge growth in speculative currency transactions. The fundraising potential for meeting essential needs is a further important purpose of this tax.

Each trade would be taxed 0.10 to 0.25%. This would discourage short-term currency trades but leave long-term productive investments intact.

The currency market would thus shrink in volume, helping to restore national economic autonomy. Nations again could still intervene effectively to protect their own currency from devaluation and financial crisis.

With the Tobin Tax, 100 to 300 billion US-$ per year would be generated. This revenue makes it possible to meet urgent global priorities, such as reducing the effects of global warming, disease, and poverty.

Revenue could go into earmarked trust funds to fund urgent international priorities.

Being a Navy Veteran, and having seen what war can do to really young people involved, and roughly about 65% of our troops are under the age of 30, how much longer can we do this to them and their families? Mentally, how stable will they really be to live out the rest of their life?
