I don't want to see the evidence, I won't look at the facts, and things like logic and reason just confuse me. All I have is my faith.

Where i live in vermont the main source of jobs come from slate quarries. I want to say this first i dont blame the mexicans - guatamalans at all i would do the same thing i i could. Now within the last 10 years id say pretty close to half of the jobs in our area are filled with immigrants.
From what ive been told Our company pays then 5$ an hour and the govt pays another 5$ an hour giving them 10$ an hour.
Their paychecks are taxed but nowhere near as much. Basicaly a lot of hard working people cant get jobs anymore because of this.
I think that the employers are taking advantage of them to make extra money. ( well i dont think this i know this for a fact)
and it just isnt right. Its people like this taking al our money out of the economy, what can be done?

The reason I ask is that my neighbor, Dumb Earl, got good and tanked up last night and rammed his 28 foot boat into my dock. Now it's sitting under about 8 feet of water and putting out a nice little oil slick. I'd like to drag that dude out and claim it for my own. I figure he won't wake up for a day or two and then won't even remember where he left it.

america went into WWII for two reasons: the pearl harbor attack on dec 7, 1941, and germany's declaration of war on america a week after we declared war on japan.

lets say pearl harbor didnt get bombed, and the japs left us alone. but roosevelt, being the pro-war asshead he was, probably wouldve pushed for US entry into WWII. would you support or oppose WWII then? explain why or why not.

“But the most urgent thing to do is to offer our sincere sympathies and concerns to the family and to the people of Pakistan, and that’s the first thing we would be doing other than, again, trying to ascertain who’s behind it, and what impact does it have on whether or not there’s going to be martial law continued in Pakistan, suspension of the constitution,” said Huckabee. “Those are concerns that the United States certainly should have

Critics immediately pointed out that Pakistan President Pervez Musharraf lifted the country’s state of martial law roughly two weeks ago.

By putting it into the hands of the federal reserve, Congress shirked their responsibility and the fed has done a horrible job.

Is it time to open up the minting of money to competition?

Why shouldn't anybody and everybody be able to mint coins of gold, silver and copper (and any other precious metal)?

Maybe a little competition is just what the doctor ordered for our floundering economy where today's "federal reserve note" is worth about 4 cents compared to the dollar's value in 1913

Here in the USA, as I'm sure you've heard, we are weighing the pros and cons of Universal Health Insurance as proposed by Hillary Clinton.

Some questions that Americans have for you:

How much of your income do you pay in taxes and how much of that goes toward your healthcare?

What is the longest you've had to wait for treatment?

Are you happy with your system when it comes to healthcare?

When was the last time you recieved a bill for a regular check-up or routine dental work? How much was that bill?

What is the biggest medical problem facing your family and how are you dealing with it?

If you can shed some light on these topics, I'm sure it will help us in our decision making!
Thanks!
