Just read this story and it is appaling. A woman working as a civilian contractor in Iraq was gang raped by other civilian contractors so badly she is still undregoing reconstructive surgery. The DOJ is doing absolutely nothing so she had to take her appeals to Congress via her Republican representative who is appalled at the inaction of the DOJ as anyperson with a moral sense of outrage would be.
It seems that this government is not going to take any action or recognize the need for action agiasnt civilian contractors unless they are forced to.
We ahve a lawless, government thatg has no right or business to be in control of this country. they are crimminals of the worst sort - abusing the trust of the American people for their own purposes. I say jail to the lot of them and let's start over again.
I'm furious!

Here's the story - read it for yourself.

i think that al gore should be making his global warming sessions for free and that he should be doing them in countrys that are poor and no nothing about global warming and are destroying the earth. he should be doing this for free. my opinion is that he is doin it for money and that he wants publicity. if he really cared he wouldnt make a dvd on it that half of it is based on his autobiography. the dvd is called an inconvienient truth.

Does this make you proud that our outsourced military is involved in this sort of behavior?

My finance just found out he will be sent to Korea for his first duty station. I personally took it really rough, but he doesnt know that because Ive hid my reaction for the time being. How should this be dealt with? How long will he be expected to stay over there? I really know nothing of Korea and I am worried for our relationship and him. I would just like to know how this whole Korea thing works. If it is like a Middle East tour (12-18 months) or more. And what is to be expected when he is there....
Thanks for any advice.
Please keep it as positive as possible.

Question Details: Just trying to get an idea here. I'll be asking one for the Republicans as well.

If you plan on voting outside of these two parties, let me know that also if you want.

I happen to love a granola cereal made by Nature's Path called "Organic Hemp Plus Granola." My husband says he won't touch it because hemp is related to marijuana and he served 20 years in the Navy, and claims military people wouldn't eat my cereal. Is this true??

I mean my cereal is obviously NOT marijuana. It's legal and sold in major stores. Would you avoid my cereal too??

I have many problems or so it would seem, however the one that I'm currently on is more of a legal matter than anything else. Look at the questions I've already asked before and I want to know what my best course of action should be. I'm asking if any of you would happen to be or know of any lawyers who are willing to work for 45% of any money that happens to come out of this. If it is someone that happens to know the lawyer, they'll get the 5% for reffering them. I'll sign any contract that would bind me to this. No stupid comments unless you want one back in return, and thats if I have time.

Why is it so unbelievable that a canidate like Ron Paul would ever win? This is a democracy why are we obsessed with party lines? He cant win because he goes against what the machines from Washington say? Because Fox News says so??? Why arnt people waking up to see our problems and that we need a solution like Ron Paul?!?!
