Nixon freezed gasoline prices.

Now Bush is going to freeze mortgage rises and allow mortagage holders to pay "according to thier ability to pay"

isnt that straight out of Marxist dogma?

This is probably going to sound really corny, but I'm 18 years old, and I'm in a relationship with a 17 year old. I try to tell my mother that in our state, which is Ohio, the age of consent is 16, and if we would ever start having sex (which I don't see in the near future), I would be fine, unless his mother has a problem with it. When I try to tell her this, she doesn't want to hear anything about it and she gets all mad... I have indeed done research, though... and she starts saying, "I'm a parent. I know nothing. You're a teenager. You know everything." And that truly ticks me off.
I need 2 things.
One: (This is going to sound really dumb.) Age of consent is where the younger party, in this case, a 17 year old, can agree to have sex, right? Or am I missing something here?
Two: How in God's name can I convince my mother about all this?
Someone, please help.

If we all wear red on Fridays, it would be no less than we do for a sports team.

We wear something green on St Patricks' Day don't we?

What stops us from all wearing red on Fridays?

If there is any one thing that would desribe the central dogma of fascism, can we all agree that "you have nothing to fear if you have nothing to hide" would represent it the best?

I have a friend that is drawing their SSDI (the money they paid to disability insurance during the decades they worked) The SSDI is a very small amount and it barely covers the cost of housing and other necessary monthly expenses. They receive $33 a month in food stamps and they were working part time until a physical injury made it impossible to do so. They borrowed a car and gas money and went to food banks but were turned away for a variety of reasons, not the least of which was having no children in the household.

My question is where can people get assistance with food? If they don't pay their rent or utilities they will be homeless. Keep in mind that they have no transportation and they also have many medical appointments that coincide with food banks limited hours.

Thanks

Peace.

"I believe that people have a right to decide their own destiny; people own themselves. I also believe that, in a democracy, government exists because (and only as long as) individual citizens give it a "temporary license to exist" - in exchange for a promise that it will behave itself. In a democracy you own the government - it doesn't own you. Along with this comes a responsibility to ensure that individual actions, in the pursuit of a personal destiny, do not threaten the well-being of others while the "pursuit" is in progress." [Frank Zappa]

A friend of mine needs to get his record cleared in Massachusetts. Some felony. I was wondering how I would go about this. He got a lawyer... But his lawyer said to get his criminal record... I thought it's the lawyers job to do that? If not how can he obtain these records... and how can he go about doing this?

I just watched the news tonight, and profiles of several candidates, and the only ones that made any sense to me are Huckabee and Edwards. Both represent their parties beliefs, both are experienced, neither are loose cannons or hotheads. Anybody think this may be it too?

Why should it be illegal to sell something that's legal to give away? I can't follow the logic.

The government is going to freeze sub prime mortgage rates for 5 years? What happened to the free market? I thought Republicans wanted people to take care of themselves.

Saw a related question that asked why Democrats dislike "wealthy" Republicans.Many answers referenced "greedy" Republicans.
Please give your specific definition of "greedy".
