I am not into law, but I was watching a show and it puzzled me. Shouldn't a jury have odd amount of people just so there will "always" be a verdict(never thought about this till now). And in cases when the there is no verdict and the jurors are classified as a "hung jury", what happens to the defendant?

It seems like there used to be a code to be followed in regards to how the American flag can be used...Like it used to be disrespectful to have it on clothes and stuff. And I keep on seeing people with it in their t-shirts and people that have it made ito something sort of cartoonish, and I know that they think it shows support of our country, but it's so tacky...
I saw a guy today with a necktie that was made out of stars and stripes just like on the flag and it made me sad.

This is a general question, but I'd specifically appreciate your ideas on what society can do to make politics better.

In order to better our democracy it is of the utmost importance to try and grasp your political identity. If you don't know and are unwilling to figure it out your just a sheep in the herd. Thinking that your out of the loop and can't make any kind of difference either way is an ignorant stance to take because all it takes to lose a right or position dear to you is the "stroke of a pen" and once that action is taken, it's very hard to get it back. True politics are not taught in the classes you've had in school just history and definitions, so the reality of what actually goes on in the world won't hit you till you wrap your mind around it or something political affects you directly in a negative manner and you become disgusted, since it doesn't make sense with what you've always been told. You people are the future, in order to make sure this country stays on a proper path, your understanding of your place in politcs is the key. You are the policy makers of the future-time to step up

I am renting through an agency that manages the flat. The flat was unfurnished with just white goods in. Agency says the landlord insured the property and white goods. They ask me to provide a proof of insurance of my stuff that covers *accidental damage*. Why? I think it is my business to insure whatever I want in a way I want but they insist without explaining. Am I missing something? I am sure they will include the requorement in the contract when I renew if it is not already there ...

Did you even think about him once a week before 9/11?
Did anyone really consider him a danger to the USA?
Are we "better off without Saddam Hussein in power" ?
He is alive and well with a public rostrum to speak from?
Is this what you really want? Personally?
No talking points, please, personal opinions and reasons.

Some one says that things happened differently than is reported in the papers or the TV news.
Immediately many powerful men who would have been involved in the incident, or the reporting, call the person with a different view "Weird, extreme, unpatriotic, a wacko, etc."
Then we are immediately supposed to discredit that person, no matter what their credentials, story, or proof, or our own suspicions...
Because if we believe them we would be "Weird, extreme, unpatriotic, wackos, etc."
Do I have that right (or left, maybe?)
Is that the way to be a good American?

Is free speech and independence that dead?
