or should we say economics-after all, it's all about the dollar or the euro or whatever you trade in (right?), just like a game of hearts? everyone -vs- the leader?

Mother Theresa
Robert Kennedy
Mahatma Ghandi
H.H. The Dalai Lama
Adolph Hitler

(Only 1 of these 5 people thought that only a certain class should have access to healthcare.)

Here are some quotes to offer you a hint:

"Our young movement is in its nature and inner organization anti-parliamentarian; that is, it rejects a principle of majority rule..."

"The State must declare unfit for propagation all who are in any way visibly sick or who have inherited a disease and therefore pass it on…"

"But as in economic life, the able men cannot be appointed from above - they must struggle through for themselves…"

"The British used to, and still do, occupy towns by living in them, not walking down alleys and roadways like sitting ducks"-This argument has been made by many people I know.

This seems like a worthy cause which would improve the health to we as tax payers pay for.I think its outrageoues that many hard working people's tax dollars go to care for a convict who has broke the law & the taxpayer cant even afford to have insurance or go to the doctor.My solution is put tyhe convicts to work doing something productive such as cleaning off the roadsides,rasing their own food,and caring for the elderly & mentally ill instead of laying around watching tv raping other inmates,& going to their workouts to stay in shape.We only make crimnals worse than they were before they went to jail.We dont want to clean up crime bc lawyers make tons of money paid by the tax payer to take these peoples cases.

The Dems have the best chance in 40 years to win the White House and who do they run? An African-American with a Muslim background, a Liberal female with more baggage than "The California Zephyr" and a hillbilly from North Carolina that gets $400 haircuts. Good grief, the GOP could run Jeffery Dahmer and win this one.

If so, can you tell me why variations in the Sun aren't considered?
Or why they thought there was going to be an Ice Age in the mid 70s?
Or why, since we cooled from the 40s to the 70s and then warmed from the 70s until today, you don't think we are about to start cooling again?
How about, why has Mars warmed up also?

Do you know that computer models are only as good as the data we put in them? And that without accurate weather data they drift toward cooling or heating up?

I know most of you are smart people so I would like to know how it is that you ingore things like this and instead listen to certain people without questioning them?

I want to support my beliefs about abortion, gay marriage, but honestly...I'm worried if I started protesting or petitioning...someone who didn't support me would burn down my house or attack my child. Or, to a lesser extent, have someone say offensive things to me or loose a friend? Do you share that fear or do you fight for what's right despite the consequences?

Hello, I have received a ticket today. I passed on red light 55 on 40 right in front of a cop. He stopped me, I was extremely nice to him. So he decided to give me a ticket only for passing on a red light. He told me it will only one point on my record. Although DMV Alabama site says it is 3 points. Whom should I believe? I have couple of questions to people who know about tickets.
1. Will it affect my insurance, if yes do you think it is going to be very high? I am 19 living in Alabama.
2. I have looked at ticket and it looks like police officer made a mistake copying my name, twice, last name and my fathers name. I am an international, a lot of people make mistake writing my name. Does ticket still count?. If it doesn't count will that officer be punished for writing my name wrong? Because he was very nice to me, we even shook hands :))). Please answer my questions, and have a blessed day. Happy Holidays

Are there any states that do not transfer driving records from others? I know there use to be several states that didn’t honor other states point systems and I am wondering if this is still true…
