Those of us that want to help others see that the advice they accept can seem to be totally backward to what the facts represent? It always seems to be the ones that restrict e-mail or IM's or both! Be on guard with these, as they often want their ideas, in stead of what would be right! What did you find in this? God bless...Earl

Can anyone remember a court case in the States about a year ago, where a small extremely cute dog (a Shitsu?) was ordered to appear as a witness?

I think the police had noticed letters addressed to and this mystery family member was duly commanded to appear in court.

I believe the dog's name was something like "Casey".

Anyone help out on this?

CNN: Obama rumor we disproved still spreading
Politics – Almost a year after it debunked false claims that Sen. Barack Obama (D-IL) had attended an Islamic school as a child, CNN reports that the presidential hopeful is still struggling to quash rumors that he is a practicing Muslim.

He can't help what he was named and even if he were Muslim so what. The FBI , CIA and the rest of the government would have investigated him and his family by now.

is it legal for the telephone company to chop down a tree on private property if the owner doesn't want them to?
also, if it is, who can I talk to (in the city of Fort Wayne, Indiana), to keep it from happening?

why are they now incapable of it in the 00's?
Is it a matter of the perceived danger of the enemy?
"Islamic terror" vs. cold war Russia and Cuban Missile Crisis.
I ask this only because of my last question.

I cant ask all of these in the same one or no one will answer them.
Obviously the tense situation made the govt. think this was a viable option back then.
If then why not now?

Caution, this may make you mad. Rep (D) Charles Rangle Tax Proposal to Benefit His Donors. “The chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee has proposed legislation that would effectively halt some current tax audits of people who get a tax break for living and operating a business in the United States Virgin Islands.”
“Many beneficiaries of the tax break are campaign contributors to the lawmaker, Representative Charles B. Rangel, Democrat of New York, according to data collected by CQ MoneyLine, which tracks political contributions.”
“Beneficiaries of the tax break including Michael W. Masters and Richard H. Driehaus, money managers, accounted for more than half the $51,900 that individuals in the Virgin Islands gave last year to Rangel for Congress, the chairman’s campaign organization.”

Our generals have been reporting religiously the last few weeks very aggressively that iraq violence is way down, and in fact Congress is poised to provide about 70 billion dollars more to fund our involvement based on what the generals have been saying. So, given that Iraq is this safe now, what's our next move?

Here is the situation as I have had it told to me: About a year ago, there was a gentleman (in his 50s) crossing the street in the town where I live. He was hit by a car driven by an elderly lady who was not drinking, just not paying attention. He was in a coma for weeks. Since he came out of it, he has had many health problems. He can't speak (because he can't move his mouth), he has had a couple of surgeries for hernia and other health problems. He barely walks, and has mental problems. Previous to this, he worked.

So, now he is unable to work. He and his friends came to ask what to do (I do interpretation). I am not sure if he is legally here or not. When I asked, he said he was a citizen, but, there was a problem with his social security number (?) and his friends seemed to think he may be illegal.

I just need to know where to send him. To an attorney, I suspect, but, if he is illegal will that be a good move? I know he can't be deported, but, can he sue?

I can't think of any reason not to, exept that you can't vote!

He has never voted to raise taxes.
He has never voted for an unbalanced budget.
He has never voted for a federal restriction on gun ownership.
He has never voted to raise congressional pay.
He has never taken a government-paid junket.
He has never voted to increase the power of the executive branch.
He voted against the Patriot Act.
He voted against regulating the Internet.
He voted against the Iraq war.

He is honest.
He isn't corrupt, and never will be.
He is the champion of the Constitution.
He is best for America.

As we all know, Army deployments generally last from 12-15 months, as compared to 7 month Marine deployments. However (in theory, I know it doesn't always happen). Lets pretend that you spent at least as much time at home as you did on your deployment. Which is better for the soldiers, the army, and the country?

Please don't use this question to argue about the war or bash the military. It is serious, and I really would like consensus, preferrably from family members and current/ex-military.
