Politics & Government - 2 December 2007

I was coming home the other night and I was going 75 mph, I know that was too fast, but what was unfair i think is that I was in a 55mph zone when he clocked me and turned his lights on. But when we finally got to a stop we were in a 45mph zone, and he said that i was doing 75 in a 45 mph zone, he also checked that it was daytime on the ticket, but it was really nighttime, could the ticket be void if there is a mistake. And should I fight the 55 to 45 thing. Im 16

I was shopping at walmart the other day for a few household and a few grocery items. One of those Items was eyeliner. My 3 year-old stuck the eyeliner in my purse at check out before I paid for it and I didn't see her do it and wasn't really thinking about it. The cashier (a grumpy old lady) did see her. Instead of saying, "mam your daughter put something in your purse" she didn't say a word but called the manager to stop me as I went out the door (since eyliner doesn't set off the alarm). He didn't ask If I wanted to pay he just said "Come with me miss"
He took me to the office and threatened to call the cops. I tried to explain to him that I didn't see my daughter put the item in my purse but he believed that I told her to do it as an excuse. I paid for the eyeliner because I did not intent to steal. but I got kicked out, never to go into walmart again.

Were they wrong for treating me this way over $3 eyeliner?
What can I do about it??

There were marches in support and a group from outside that area that were protesting. The neighbor witnessed two men, minority, breakng into the home next door. He called 911 and told to stay indoors and not to go outside. The operator is hurd saying that officers were inroute. The neighbor went ouside with a shot gun. He is hurd pumping the gun, putting a round into the chamber. Next he shouts somethng then two shoots are heard next.

Was this man justified in kiiling the two burgalars?

the state of oklahoma summoned me to court and set that I pay X amount of dollars. If my child's mother decides she wants nothing to do with me or my money or if we work out something on our own, what would we have to do to cancel the court's "ruling?"

China has been denying our military ships port entry because of their animosity.

So far not too much public response to this from the White House.

Why do you think the President would take these steps when the response from China is so easily calcuable?

Two years ago, my husband hit a truck from behind.They both got out of their cars.My husband gave the guy his information first.While my husband waited for his information, he check the guy's truck and had a minor dent.My husband truck had a big damage.When they seen a cop passing by, my husband and witnesses waived to the cop to stop.When the guy seen the cop, he left the scene without giving my husband his information.The cop got mad and did not took a police report because the other guy left. Now its been two year and my husband and his former boss, the owner of the truck are being sue by him. The guy is claiming physical injuries, lost wages, and property damage over 25,000 dollars. The court paper said the accident happend at a light intersection.But my husband said it happened away from the lights.We have one witness that remembers little about the incident. She remember minor damage to his truck and the guy was okay.Should we hire a lawyer to help us with the case?

Okay, obviously I know that genocide can happen in North America; it can happen anywhere no matter how much military support the U.S. has, but I was wondering if anyone could give me more support for this statement? Or if you disagree?

"You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law. You have the right to have an attorney present during questioning. If you cannot afford an attorney, one will be appointed for you. Do you understand the rights I have just read to you?"

Since a person has the right to remain silent and not say ANYthing, what happens if the suspect refuses to answer "yes" or "no" to the question, "Do you understand...."? What if a suspect really does understand his or her rights, but refuses to speak, or say anything whatsoever, when arrested? Is saying yes or no to the "do you understand....?" question some sort of acknowledgement of legal jurisdiction? Like, for instance, law enforcement tells suspects they have the right to remain silent, but then they ask a question, which means the suspect has to speak, and has to answer a question. Isn't answering the question a waiver of one's right to remain silent?

I am a 12th grade government teacher at a public high school in Los Angeles. I am taking 18-20 students on an academic trip to Washington DC this spring, and the cost is $1600 per student. The students that attend my school are considered financially underprivledged and can not pay their own tuition. I need to raise aprox. $30,000 by the end of February, and so far we only have $1,200. We are doing what we can by selling candy, and holding silent acutions and raffles at school, but we need help! The students have sent letters asking local businesses to "invest in their funture" by buying shares of stock at $10 a share, but we have not received any response yet.
Does anyone know of any companies or businesses that are willing to help my students?
The goal of the trip is to help my students gain a better understanding of our political system, and in turn become more politically active. This trip will change their lives!

We've been down this road before... What exactly has the Democratic party done for you / us besides give us false promises without EVER delivering?
Are you satisfied with being a PATSY to the liberal "left"? Wake up! The Democrats have moved beyond "us" & have moved on to playing up to families of "undocumentated residents" (Mexicans/Latinos) and have no intentions of delivering anything 'promised' to "our" people at election time! We have been tossed aside in favor of catering to illegal immigrants, who SOMEHOW have been able to capture the attention of "liberals" who have focused their attention on where the MONEY is currently available through illegal occupancy... WTF??? At the very least, REPUBLICANS will give us an idealistic approach as to where we stand, and give us a plausible reason for enduring...

They act like it's 3 people in a boiler room asking all these questions, voting in all these polls, and sending in all this money.

Could it be that someone is finally saying that the Emperor has no clothes, and people are noticing?

And this the imperial court verrrry nervous?

We all know Obama and Clinton are pretty likely. But my history teacher was talking about the fact that ANYTHING can happen between now and then. "Mud can be thrown as more secrets are revealed." With that in mind, who do you think will win? ..not excluding any other candidates!!
