Coup is described as encroachment upon functions of all other institutions of a Sate by one of the institution. Emergency is described as State apparatus functioning without accountability and public and media has no Right to criticise it.
India's Higher Judiciary is doing both these things, but the bloodless coup and undeclared emergency by Indian Higher Judiciary is not the attention of World media, though people are suffering more from it in India than probably the Pakistanis by Pakistan army. But why India's Higher Judiciary has succeeded in potering as Sacred Cow?

You can't keep spending TRILLIONS over in Iraq and not pay it back before it starts coming back to roost.

China, Japan and even Iran is ACTIVELY dumping the US dollar right now.

I have read the constitution many, many times. And I think all that is listed is sufficient. What do you think? Can you think of something that should be added to the constitution?

I have recently heard that many people around the world consider themselves slaves to the United States. I read a statistic that said the United States has only 5% of the world's population yet they consume 31% of everything consumed in the world. Is the United States using its military and fiscal power to "enslave" the rest of the world to produce more for less. I recently watched a program about Afganistan and that since the Taliban has been removed from power the country's primary means of income has become exporting drugs to western europe and the united states. This is a new idea to me and I'm very interested in hearing your opinions.

be placed in the government/politics, or whatever category it was placed?!!! This is third time I've posted question, and I'm adding link again:

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,308958,00.html

How can anyone be warned about something like this if questions are placed in wrong category???...This is only happening in Virginia now, but the MRSA cases in mid-October, spread incredibly rapidly to Connecticut, New York, Kentucky, Florida, and other states.

Students and parents in Virginia want this school closed and it's the wisest advice ever. Hopefully health authorities will investigate more. Not only is the school still open, but it appears no one is thoroughly being tested!!!

Where in the Constitution or Bill of Rights does it say "the government is responsible for making up for individuals' short comings"?

I must have missed that part while memorizing it for my criminal law classes.

In short,the U.S is on its way to becoming a police state and people need to wake up and start taking control of thier own money. These people have thier own agenda with the goal of wiping 500 billion people out in a matter of years, they've got our money, now they want our power. I'm speaking of thier one world government. Any ideas?

Even if it's not the president or congress that issue driver's, on a matter like this, why can't they voice their disapproval or approval? Why won't they go on record?

Tim Walberg has:
WASHINGTON D.C. — U.S. Congressman Tim Walberg (R-MI) today announced he is an original co-sponsor of a resolution expressing the sense of the House of Representatives in opposition to states issuing driver’s licenses to illegal immigrants.

“While we all agree there is a major need for immigration reform in the United States , this reform needs to ensure the security and economy of our nation is protected, not threatened. A driver’s license allows access to all kinds of legal documents and activities in our country and granting driver’s licenses to illegal immigrants rewards those who have broken our laws. I have consistently stated that any and all attempts to enact immigration reform must not include amnesty for illegal immigrants, and this amounts to backdoor amnesty.”

The resolution said that Cheney, "in violation of his constitutional oath to faithfully execute the office of vice president," had "purposely manipulated the intelligence process to deceive the citizens and Congress of the United States by fabricating a threat of Iraqi weapons of mass destruction to justify the use of the U.S. Armed Forces against the nation of Iraq in a manner damaging to our national security interests."

If you do not know about it, I'll link the DHS site on it.

Essentially, it is a state-required card, needed for anything government regulated like public airplanes, passports etc. It will be part of your Drivers License but also include your social security number. To me, thusfar, it doesn't sound too different from a regular Drivers License. But, it also -may- have a tracking device. On the one hand, kinda creepy...on the other, if you are kidnapped or someone is known to be a suspect of a crime, wouldn't it be nice if they could be easily found?
What do you think about it? Pros, cons? Information they should or should not include?
