Who agrees that the pledge of of us should be changed from "Under god" to something a little more form fitting with out OWN laws of seperation of church and state, i mean yes christianity is a part of our history, but so are a number of other religions. Enslaving african american's is part of our histroy as well, but do we honor that? i would hope not. Who is bush and the rest of thoes people in the government to turn their views into my laws? when so many people compeltly disagree with things such as abortion, stem cell research, gay marraige and the pledge, why should they be made illegal? If you don't like gay marriage, then don't marry someone who is gay. But it should be an option if you want to. If you don't want to get an abortion, then don't. But girls who are 14 and get raped should have that option. If you don't believe in stem cell research, then don't go into it at your field, but let thoes who want to save lives with thoes advancements do so.

anyone else agree?

Last night one of my co-workers mistakingly left his cell phone in the cafeteria. When he realized what he had done and went back for it, the cell phone was gone. He immediately found the cleaning lady and asked her if she had seen his cell phone. She replied no and explained that she hadn't been in the part of the building . However, after asking around, some of our other co-workers reported that they had in fact seen her cleaning in the cafeteria following the break. Realizing that he had been lied to my friend and another co-worker went to her car and dialed his cell phone number, and sure enough, his cell phone was indeed in her car ringing away. To make a long story short. My friend reported the incident to his supervisor, who then approached her about the situation. As an end result my co-worker got his phone back and the cleaning woman was immediately terminated. My friend called the police and reported it stolen. Is she a thief or just a dishonest person?

I was named the executor to my grandmothers will. The lawyer told me no matter what, it has to sit in probate for eight months. There is just a piece of property worth no more than 20,000.
There is a bank account with $2,000 that the lawyer is telling me I have to move to a bank they use. Her husband, my stepgrandfather passed away before she did. Does his property transfer to the estate? Is any of this true?

Specifically in California, how does the attorney determine how much to sue for? Does anyone know the outcome of cases of improper administration of Kenalog resulting in subcutaneous atrophy? Assuming the case does not go to trial, how does the physician's insurance company come up with a counter offer to settle?

Thanks!

If I do, will he know I did? He doesn't work but does very strenuous activities around his apartment, like moving the huge trash bins around to clean around them. Constanly moving big, heavy boxes, etc.

You are driving across the desert; the temp is 110º F; Your car breaks down, so you walk to the nearest town, (just 4 miles away). First thing you want is cold water. But the store charges $50 a bottle. The store claims that it is a business, and they have a right to make a profit.
Is it price gouging?
NO????
Then why isn't it price gouging when the oil companies reap HUGE profits in times of crisis?

... the fact that the Palestinians are humans who have rights and that their land and rights are being violated by the Israeli occupation and that they are treated by Israel worse than how animals are treated by heartless people? Have you ever tried to listen to the other point of view, the one that is never presented by the American and western media?

Four weeks ago, he hired me. He shook my hand and had me sign an agreement and everything. He said his secretary would call me about three and a half weeks ago. She never did so I called. Again he said the same thing. I waited another two weeks and I called again today. Not only was he extremely rude, but he also told me that I wasn't hired afterall! This whole time I could have been looking for other work. I am only in the U.S. for two more months and the whole purpose of working was to get money to go abroad. So can I sew him for lost money and irresponsibility? I am so pissed off! He could have told me!

How do you feel about the right to concealed carry?

I live in a state that does NOTallow it. I think the "bad guys" would think twice about attacking me if they knew I could be packing. I have been "stalked" before...very scary!

The only people that benefit from the current law (in my state) are the very people that will carry illegal weapons anyways. Why not be able to defend ourselves from them?

What is your point of view?

Right now, the telephone and cable companies in control of Internet access are trying to use their enormous political muscle to dramatically change the Internet. It might be hard to believe, but lawmakers in Washington are seriously debating whether consumers should be free to use the Internet as they want in the future.
The phone and cable companies now control more than 95% of all Internet access. These large corporations are spending millions of dollars to promote legislation that would divide the Internet into a two-tiered system.
The top tier would be a "Pay-to-Play" high-speed toll-road restricted to only the largest companies that can afford to pay high fees for preferential access to the Net.
The bottom tier -- the slow lane -- would be what is left for everyone else. If the fast lane is the information "super-highway," the slow lane will operate more like a dirt road.
