I dont see how they can do this.I had a sign posted telling abt the dog but they're saying they could not see it in the dark.I did not tell the sherriff but they had a large sum of money on them & it fell to the floor when one of my dogs nearly tore his clothes off him.I kept the money & told the idiots thats for pain & anguish you caused me.They r afraid to say anything abt the money bc it will just lead to more question.I haven't counted it but its over $15,000.00.Can they really kill my dogs?These r full bloodied registered German Shepards & would not hurt anyone except to protect.And what abt the money what do you think i should do with it?

If the GOP is really serious about this religious business, why not nominate Jesus Christ directly for president and form a committee of 'earthly servants' to transmit His word to the American people? Then we'd have no need for congress or a Supreme Court. According to the republicans and even some democrats we'd get better government for less. Let's kick this around!

Or is there, maybe, something we could do instead?

You always hear of these stories of police breaking into houses to perform wire taps for the 45 minutes the criminal is away from their home. Why can't they tap into the phone conversations at the telephone switching house?

I understand that some Organized Criminals may get a tip from a telephone company employee, but small time criminals and gang members would not have this sort of connections. Why can't law enforcement do their surveillance directly from these places?

When people ask a question which is a legal matter, why do people thumbs down answers which are correct in every aspect, but aren't the words they want to hear?

Common mistakes people make are an incorrect belief that shops must accept returns on items which are not faulty (they don't have to!) or that receiving goods or money in error makes them theirs (again it does not, everyone is entitled to make fair mistakes, even banks or mail order companies) so why do people constantly ignore and give the TD to sound answers in favour of the mistaken belief they can get something for nothing?

the president has no control over state marriage laws, besides why would it concern anyone if us gays want to marry, it doesn't affect straight marriage, are straight people so concerned that their own marriages are shaky to begin with?
