Politics & Government - 16 December 2007

Hi, I'm moving to Cali next year, and I heard that basically everyone is Liberal, and was just wondering if this is true because I am pretty conservative. I don't mind it being mixed, because otherwise everyone would be the same and there would be nothing to debate about. But I'm worried now that I'll get over there and like everybody is going to be liberal and that they won't like anyone who isn't. Is this how it is?

I am hearing a lot of optimism for Barack. I like him and know he is the best for the job, because out of all the candidates he seems to be trying his hardest. For example he was talking about making a page to to expose all of the Government's spending and it is up already:
http://www.usaspending.gov/
or the bill that was veto'd to bring back the solders from Iran. However, I stand by my opinion. America is too racist to accept a black leader. Why?
Look at the hate crime stats 62% of all racial hate crimes are towards blacks:

Tells you something doesn't it and that was just last year.

with elections approaching i feel its important to get the basic agendas from each candidate to help me choose who i want to support until the elections. there are a few i like and want something just plain and simple that lists how they feel on an issue and what their agenda holds for that issue. is there anything out there like that???

thanks!

I recently asked a question about men having rights when it comes to a child. Women have a right to abortion, men have a right to pay child support. I got a few answers saying that men should not have sex with a woman if he is not prepared to have a child. Shouldn't women be held to the same standard?! If they want the right to chose shouldn't they choose if they are ready to have sex or not? Why are men held to higher standard than women?

If I had never met you and told you I was a Democrat, what assumptions would you make about my beliefs and lifestyle?

Please don't respond with what you'd think about my intelligence or character.

.......... assist their trained dolphins in recovering torpedos from the ocean floor?

I heard where the bald eagle is being trained to be a "spotter" for the dolphins. The eagle will spot the torpedo, from a great height, & drop a marker over the torpedo's location. Then the dolphin will attach a cable to the torpedo to enable its recovery.

How long has this project been in existance, does anyone know?

Ron Paul may have many votes from libertarians and constitution lovers, probably taking from the mainstream conservative vote....giving the win to Hillary?

I wouldn't vote for her, but I think she may be our next president.

What does the future hold for the 'nation state' as we know it?

It will probably always be around, at least nominally.

Will it still be around in the coming centuries, or will the world simply be made up of market systems like the EU, etc?

can a command tell you that your baby's father can not go to his son's doctor's appointment? Are there any MCO's in regards to that? I know they cannot tell you that you can't go to medical so wouldn't it be the same for your child?
