Government - December 2007

I'm in my early 20's and I keep hearing that there will not be any social security for my generation when we get old.

Why is this?

I'm busting my butt and paying into this and I won't even get anything when I get older. How does that work?!
Hopefully the government can come up with something to help my generation.

I watched Michael Moore's 'Sicko' last night and I have to say I was appalled. I did not realize that the US is the ONLY industrailized nation that does not have universal healthcare. I was shocked to learn the many things that other countries have as a right of citizenship that the US again, does not have. After watching it made me feel almost ashamed to be American; why are we not taking care of our citizens to the fullest extent possible? I was also quite touched when in the movie, they went into Cuba and recieved medical treatment for free. I was also shocked to learn that Cuba offers this when we do not.
So I guess my question is, why is America so against universal healthcare?

I think we are slowly on the way, Hillary will try to socialize healthcare and then the democrats will rule the nation for another 20 years or so before they may be taken out of power. I believe that the nation is so liberal now they want socialized system of Government to take CARE of them.

Now, here's MY take on it:

BILL would IMMEDIATELY command control of the situation, putting the hostages at ease while trying to talk down the captors. HILLARY would talk Universal Health Care for each of them and their families if they turned themselves in, while CHELSEA would invite them to a graceful dance across the floor. Not to be outdone, JENNA and BARBARA would pull out their secret stash of liquor and charm them with a tabletop dance ... while LAURA would set about cooking a four-course meal and teach them to read. Then of course GEORGE would put his foot in his mouth; his crazy rantings would drive their captors crazy; not even the efforts of the CLINTONS and the BUSH ladies would calm them down.

Then, miraculously, Jimmy CARTER would come in and offer himself as a hostage. Between BILL's soothing voice and JIMMY's calming presence, the hostage-takers would eventually give in and let them all - yes, even GEORGE (though grudgingly), go safely.

How close am I?!

How do I determine if a case is a function of the federal or state court system?

Second, how do I know whether a case falls under federal or state jurisdiction?

And lastly, what does it mean when they ask, "explain the differences between the jurisdiction and original venue for
each case?"

Thanks to all those who are willing to help me with these questions. I am trying to figure out a few cases and I am confused on these things. If you aren't willing to help, please don't answer the question. Thanks again!!!

He has done numerous things against the law that are impeachment-worthy. But then we get Cheney. So I say, we kick them both outta office!

I am looking for similarites and differences between the two systems - I want to make sure my analysis is complete.

I have these already.

Parliamentary:
Prime Minister is not directly elected
No division of executive and legistlative powers
Seperate Head of state and head of government
Executive power (PM) is accountable to the legislature
Stronger Party Discipline

Presidential:
President is directly elected by the people
Division of legislative and executive powers.
Is both head of state and government
Is not accountable to the legislature.
Weaker party discipline (relative to parliamentary)

Please, if you have any useful input, addddd.

For other uses, see Sicko (disambiguation).

Sicko (or SiCKO) is a 2007 movie by American filmmaker Michael Moore that investigates the American health care system, focusing on its for-profit health insurance and pharmaceutical industry. The film compares the non-universal and for-profit U.S. system with the universal and non-profit systems of Canada, the United Kingdom, France and Cuba.

Sicko opened to positive reviews, but also generated criticism and controversy. Some policy specialists have praised the film while others have criticised the film for its positive portrayal of the publicly funded health systems of Canada, the United Kingdom and Cuba, and for its negative portrayal of the health care system in the United States.

Sicko debuted in the U.S. on June 22, 2007, earning $4.6 million in 441 theatres and achieving the second highest opening weekend for a documentary, after Fahrenheit 9/11.[1] A pirated copy of the film was leaked onto the Internet just prior to its release.
