On top of how badly screwed up King County is, there is a city, Seattle, by name that maybe even more screwed up than the county,,and then there is the state of Washington that doesn't know if it's afoot or horseback...my question is, just what rock do these so-called "leaders" crawl out from under? I would like to find it and seal it forever...

They can't put everyone in jail, so what would the government do?

Wouldn't this be an ideal way to protest taxes?

America states you need to be a citizen, live in a certain place for a certain amount of time, be a certain age. What does it take to enter a Russian political office?

I would highly appreciate the answers, or a helpful site would be even better. These are not all the ones I am struggling with. They are not in the book and I had trouble googling them. Thanks!!

This is some of the info I need...
-city the supreme court first met in
-year they moved to Washington DC
-year they got their own building in Washington DC
-name of power to nullify laws that are unconstitutional
-what president was forced to hand over White House tapes and documents
-number of judicial districts, and court of appeals in the US

If you know any answers or sites I'd appreciate it SO much! :]
These are not all, just about 1/4 of the ones I still need for tomorrow.

I just finished an interview with the state and I understand that it can take a while for them to select a candidate or canditates. However, the position that I applied for is a tax clerk and from what I understand they will be in need of people soon. Does this mean they can speed up the process or can they still take months to hire someone. Thanks in any help I can get.

There is now some 'Homeland' org that in the near future would be like 'thought police', able to apprehend someone for their beliefs(w/o Habeus Corpus). Shouldn't this be #1 concern for UScitizens? It's happening if you do research you'll see it(like Naomi Wolf's book) points oout.

I've heard that the only way to characterize a president is by the number of president they are. For instance, I wouldn't say former president Bill Clinton, but the 42nd president Bill CLinton

I don't understand why the EU accepts China's argument that their per capita emissions are lower than the West's and therefore shouldn't be subject to mandatory emissions cuts? Does the ozone layer care what the per capita emissions of a nation are? If this is such an crisis I would think the UN would be demanding emissions cuts from EVERYONE, not just the wealthiest nations (especially China). This sounds like a socialist redistribution of wealth scheme to me.

Under President Bush the national debt has skyrocketed going from about 5.5 trillion to over 9 trillion! It was going down during the Clinton administration for the first time after it had skyrocketed under Reagon and Bush Sr. yet Clinton's sexual act overshadowed the progress he was making for the country to the point he was prosecuted to get kicked out of office, but there's not even a consideration for it for the president who has nearly doubled the nation's debt? I don't get it!

Al- Qaeda may be a serious threat if your a wondering American somewhere in Afghanistan. But as a person living in lets say Los Angeles or Michigan. The biggest threat may be our government. They are raising taxes and cutting jobs. They are eliminating basic rights guaranteed by the constitution. Charging enormous sums of money to get a higher education. Plus there institutionalized racist policies make everyone a target (yes even whites) for crime. So who is really a bigger threat to the Common Man: Al qaeda or Government (not just US but governments in general)

Obviously, all factions of the U.S. ruling elite were not involved in the conspiracy. Since the evidence overwhelmingly proves a government conspiracy, why don't those members who were not involved demand a real investigation? There are no candidates for president who have come forward to demand the 9-11 investigation be reopened. The 9-11 conspiracy isn't even mentioned in the debates, yet it is the biggest crime ever perpetrated against the American people. Is this because the revelation that 9-11 was, in fact, a government conspiracy would only serve to underscore the criminal lengths that the ruling wealth-elite are willing to go to forward their personal agenda? The neocons laid out their agenda in the PNAC where they called for U.S. global hegemony. In it, they wrote of the need for a "new Pearl Harbor." The evidence is well documented that they acted on their entire agenda. What would happen to America's ruling elite were the real criminals in our society brought to justice?

Right now, the U.S.' debt to creditors is over 9 trillion dollars, and rising at the level of over one-quarter trillion every year. Since we make no effort to pay down the debt, nor do the politicians seem to care anymore about balancing the budget, Congress must allocate, as one of our two largest expenditures (defense is the other) roughly one-half trillion dollars per year of paying off the interest of the debt (roughly 25% of this goes to foreigners). As long as we continue to run deficits, the amount paid for interest on the debt will only increase. Neither the democrats nor republicans seem to be terribly interested in this issue anymore, because the mantra seems to be to keep taxes low and spending high. Dick Cheney has actually said that deficits and the debt don't matter.

Are you concerned about this? Shouldn't our goverment at least try much harder to balance the budget, and then to try to pay down the debt?
