Politics & Government - 22 December 2007

I got completely smashed last weekend, and I got arrested...I don't even remember it. They took me to jail until I sobered up, and a friend picked me up (my bail was free). I'm only 19, and I didn't get charged with underage drinking, but is the judge gonna be harder on me for being underage? Should I get a lawyer? What kinda fines am I looking at, and am I gonna go to jail or have to do community service or something?

I'm leaving for the US in 2 days, on an immigrant visa that was issued by the embassy in Stockholm Sweden, petitioned by my american husband. When will I receive my green card? I'm planning on going back to Sweden for vacation in June, should I have it by then? Or do I need to apply for a travel permit ? I don't know if it matters but we will live in Nevada.
It would be great if someone knew!

Can borrowing money and refusing to pay it back amount to theft?
Here's the deal:
I lent money to someone and I have a witness and contract.
Now he keeps coming up with a new excuse everyday.
So, today I threaten to take him to the small claims court.
His response: "Because you are being childish you will not see or hear from me and I won't pay you the money untill I hear from the small claims court"
Does this constitute theft?
Can I go to the police?
The reason I ask is because the courts are closed here till after the New Year and I need the money asap.
Thanks for your help

China and India and Japan and whomever else wouldn't be the manufacturing force they have become if it weren't for the fact that American companies went to them looking for cheap labor and less stringent environmental and tax regulations!

Isn't this an example of why American business should have been held to some kind of nationalism? I do not mean Communism, but Americans who own companies and have for decades made their fortunes from American workers and American consumers should hold some responsibility to Americans!!

WE made them what they are!

If Bono, Madonna, A. Jolie and the rest of the Third World sympathizers care SO MUCH for the hungry and suffering people there, why don't they give up their billions and billions of dollars and do free concerts for the remainder of their lives? Why don't they just all pitch in and buy the country, then 'clean it up'? Why would they rail against government/s to do more when governments don't exist to feed the world?

It is cold where I leave like today it is 22°F; I strap my child's car seat in get in my car and go to drive off and realize I left her diaper bag by the door is it wrong for me to run back in the house to get it and leave her in the warm car, verses undoing her seat, wrapping her back up, and taking her back out in the cold for something that will take no longer then 10 sec literally

OK, so a couple hours ago I was out & about driving around in a winter storm (bad idea, I know). I had to get extra food for myself & my kitties. By a stroke of bad timing, I ended up running a red light because I was afraid that if I hit my brakes at the speed I was going when the light turned yellow I'd go into a spin. I'm pretty sure that the light was red before I was in the intersection. As I was crossing, I noticed that there was a cop to my left, waiting to make a left turn. Perfect. Of course he got right behind me, but he didn't turn his lights on or anything. He even followed me as I turned into the grocery store parking lot, but then he turned the other way & left. My question is: If he was going to give me a ticket, would he have done so then & there? Or was he following me to write down my tag number & stuff, & he's going to mail me a ticket? Or, did he follow me just to scare me & he ended up letting me off the hook?

I keep seeing people say they will write in Ron Paul or whomever they want to win when they vote. but I have never seen a option to write in anything on our ballots in Oklahoma. I wonder how many have the "write-in" option.
