Politics & Government - 20 December 2007

Prosecution offered a terrible plea bargain.... half off the fine but charge still remains and full points. Charge is for new Stunt Driving but husband was doing 51 over in an 80 downhill. Stupid move, but it will financially devastate my family, has already cost thousands... and he may lose his job if the charge isn't reduced... He has an otherwise perfect record.

Should this part of the Constitution be read to mean that all guns except rifles, anti-tank misiles etc used by US army be banned from private citizens' possession? (So no short-range semi-automatic one hand guns etc?) Or Is this too impractical in detail?

I have been reading some of the answers to a question about what job can I get in Japan even though I don't speak the lingo.
Bit part English voice over actor for PC games was one of them.
Please, I can't wait for someone to tell me how I can become PM without any knowledge of politics.
Yours expectantly,

Boris Johnson.

I have an extremely complicated question regarding Wills.
Try to break it down to brief nutshell:
My mother is insane and on Social Security Disability.
She recently became a ward of the state when her mother who had overseen her bill payment became incapacitated.
She and I havent talked directly in 11 years because she had a psychotic break and tried to kill me and I fled home.
I stayed in touch with her mother/my grandmother.
I have tried to work off and on but have suffered from PTSD.
Ive tried hard to keep wroking as much as possible though.
I moved back to my hometown earlier this year to be close to my Grandmother who got injured.
Her health took turn for worse. She always discussed everything with me.... from how she wanted to be cremated to exactly what her will stated.
She told me that her lawyer had been instructed to 'take care of me' with proceeeds from her will.
Sadly she trusted this lawyer to much.
Sh ewrote me checks at various times over last 10 years.

Many people have stated some very ignorant negative statements about corporations with no basis.

I've posted this question once before with some good responses but everybody had a different idea. This was given to me along with a cookbook dated 1957. They aren't necessarily related but might give a little perspective.

Are the people of Darfur less important or don't deserve to get the un-freedom attacked out of them.

I heard of some program that lets that lets students go to college with paid tuition (for med school). Does the military pay for pre-med too, or only med school?

It also cost $62 billion for research and development. Is our current fighter fleet adequate for near to medium term threats? Could the money be better spent on Strykers, close air support, or the VA health system?

I truly am interested in both sides, and I know we can't group all private-insurance as being corrupt. But Moore, raises a good point:

"How Can for-profit companies, truly have the patients-best interest at heart, when patients are in dire-need to cash in their policies?"

maybe, socialized-medicine, isn't the anti-christ, americans have been indoctrinated to believe....(oops, guess, I revealed a touch of bias)..

Game On!

The democrats, FDR led them, stuck with this program with a retirment age of 65. At the time, very few people reached that age and those that did rarely lived long past that age. It is a Ponzi scheme and requires a very high, ever increasing birth rate to support it. We must stop it. It is idiotic wealth redistribution. Another example of many failed goverment programs that could never help us. I am decades away and up for a struggle to right a cynical wrong.

What I'm trying to say that a lot of people say it's the woman's choice whether or not to keep the baby, and the government should mind their own business. But don't you think that the father should at least have a say in this since this is equally his kid? Food for thought: What if the father wanted to keep the baby and the mother didn't. If you had to be the judge, who would you side with? Do you think that in order to get an abortion the father and mother would have to sign to go through with this procedure???

Do you think the draft for military service during the civil war violated civil liberties or was the need for defense more important?

What I mean is, when did we lose our respect for tradition. I’m still very young, but where is the respect for the Office of President of the United States of America. You don’t have to be a 100% supporter for President Bush, you can even disagree with him 100%, to know that there is a certain amount of respect due to the President of the USA, all of them liberal or conservative. It makes me sick that the disrespect has reached such fevered heights that the young should be the moral guides for the old. Everything: President, Supreme Court Judges, Senator, Members of The House and all Government Employees all are treated with such disrespect. It is as if we reverted back to little children, with name calling and whining about people we don’t like.
