Government - December 2006

Why arent Referendums held for almost every important or national effecting law? Smoking in pubs for example. Surely this is what democracy is about? Rather than the government forcing it on us.

And why was he re-elected?

If there is such a resounding outcry against him, isn't our government set up in such a way that we can fire him because he 'doesn't represent us'?

Turkmenistan features a Turkmenbashi Palace, Turkmenbashi theme park, Port Turkmenbashi, even Turkmenbashi vodka. It was a dictatorship, to be sure, but as things go a relatively benign -- if surreal -- one.

I received the following email. Is the information true?

Our Social Security

Franklin Roosevelt, a Democrat, introduced the Social Security (FICA) Program. He promised:

1.) That participation in the Program would be completely voluntary,

2.) That the participants would only have to pay 1% of the first $1,400 of their annual incomes into the Program,

3.) That the money the participants elected to put into the Program would be deductible from their income for tax purposes each year,

4.) That the money from the participants would be put into the Independent "Trust Fund" rather than into the General operating fund, and therefore, would only be used to fund the Social Security Retirement Program, and no other Government program, and,

5.) That the annuity payments to the retirees would never be taxed as income.

The Democratic party is responsible for going back on his word in all these respects--yet say the Republicans are responsible for the Soc. Sec. mess.

not very long ago, the u.s. used military power routinely to stifle the progress of DEMOCRATIZED socialism. today, are we telling folks they cannot choose to have islamic law? obviously, the somalis prefer the ICU to the UN government. even if the western press they do not claim otherwise. when have you ever read a single story where it said the people of somali preferred the UN government? they do not tell you the people prefer the islamists, but the absence of any mention on the subject at all is ridiculously obvious. for a year you have discussed somalia in your papers everyday. never once does a single story tell you what most somali's want? you don't ask or expect much from your media do you?

My daughter asked about things that citizen's of the United States would do. She asked if in different times would business close during the mouring. She asked since all flags were ordered at half staff for 30 days. Do we light candles or anything that is tradition? Official things only or a website direction might work. She will be discussing this in her history and government class as well as watching coverage of the Ford State Funeral Friday.

Common law states that it is not murder if feet are delivered first.....So, abortionists turn the baby, deliver the feet, then puncture the base of the brain and suck the brain out.....this is all true...many of these abortions are done because the women is depressed about being pregnant.....
