I was thinking of enlisting into the Navy during college but figured it's more logical to become an officer after graduation if I wanted. Does anyone know what the average salary is and how satisfying the job is?

Would he have done any of the things he promised? Would he have invaded another irrelevant country? Would he have still won a second term even though he would not have been able to scare people into voting for him again?

This is for a newspaper article so I will need some back up data. Other questions -- What percentage of women in the police force are single mothers? What percentage of the police force are women? Of the women, what percentage generally advances to higher positions other than entry level or patrol... like sergeant, lt. etc? Any info pertaining to this question will be useful.

Sheriff Joe Arpaio is preparing for a showdown on Wednesday when immigration rights advocates plan to march in Phoenix.

Arpaio said "we will have our experts in enforcing illegal immigration laws and if we come across any illegals pursuant to crime we will arrest them."

The Sheriff plans to send deputies to a neighborhood near 24th Street and Thomas where the march will begin at 9am.

This is the same area where protesters gather for weekly rallies. Marchers plan to take their rally to City Hall.

Republicans are always howling about Bill Clinton and his affair with Monica. Yet one of their highest ranking Presidential Candidates is Rudy Guiliani, who tucked his mistress into the Gracie Mansion where his wife and family lived. There has been all kinds of stories concerning this romance, previous marriages that were hidden, taxpayer's money used to keep the mistress safe and sound. Along with that are stories of Rudy's friendship with a man now indicted for various crimes, a man that Rudy wanted to place in a top level Bush Administration job.

Considering the fact that Republicans thought Clinton's sexual mistakes were so horrifying, one would think that Guiliani's background would cause his poll numbers to be low. Is he, then, the epitome of morality and family values, those two virtues Republicans claimed they respect so much? How can the Republican Party seriously consider a man like this as President without admitting that Clinton's frolic was not so bad after all?

I am having trouble recalling this particular word.

The definition is something like: "to have a large degree of autonomy in deciding".
For example, a police officer is given great xxxx in deciding if a citizen should be taken to jail, based on the officer's judgment of the situation.

What word am I describing?


Oh, and the word is NOT "jurisdiction", nor "jurisprudence".

Thank you very much.

In the last 6 years, 4 million people have been killed in a war in the Congo. Few people in the West know about it. Why did we not stop it? Why are we not stopping it now?

I was recently laid-off from my job (housing market sucks). We have two of our three children in day care. Our income was cut by more than ½. My wife and I tried to get help with the daycare bill ($1000.00 a month) so I could go to interviews. The agency that deals with this help told us that we both have to be working to get this help. That is all fine, but, not a week before I saw a lady pull up in a brand new 2007 Dodge Ram 1500 ($30000.00) much nicer than my Ford F150 ($6000.00). She picked up two kids and left like I did. She signed her kids out in a different book than I did, so I asked my wife about the two sign-in books. She told me one was for the people who pay and one was for the people with government help. My wife and I make good money and we struggle every month with the daycare so I know that people need help but also, I am the one who had the kids and they are my responsibility to pay for there upbringing. I get tired of paying for my kids and all the other kids. I am a republican but am not happy with the Bush leadership. My question is candidate will help the middle class the most and fix some of these programs. Should I even find this situation wrong and this doesn’t even go into the collecting unemployment headache.

Thanks for you thoughts.

P.S. I found a job within a week so this didn’t hurt me that much, but it could have, and it will hurt someone else.

In Pennsylvanina if you get a speeding ticket, and you pay it, but you pay about a dollar extra, and when you get a check back for the for the amount you over paid. Then you dont cash the check, and they never close your account, and since they dont close your account you cant get points on your license. Is that true?
