The registered letter is from a lawyer for the plantiff asking questions about my boyfriend. The letter states it complies with rule 5224 of the Civl Practice Law and Rules. It also states that if I don't comply with the subpoena it is considered a comtempt of court. Is this true or just idle words of lawyer looking for answers? And is this really considered a subpoena?

The recent scandal surrounding the Justice Department's firing of several US attorneys has inadvertently revealed the dangerous influence the religious right wields over the current administration. While the media is focused on the political firings of these attorneys, the connection between the administration and Pat Robertson's Regent University -- which has seen over 150 graduates hired by the Bush administration in recent years -- is a more worrisome reality.

In today's New York Times, Paul Krugman acknowledges the danger the religious right poses to our nation. Krugman exposes how these "extremists" have long sought to merge their ideology with government policy, a reality that we understand all too well. He also points out just how little attention this serious threat to democracy has received from mainstream media:

"The infiltration of the federal government by large numbers of people seeking to impose a religious agenda -- which is very different from simply being people of faith -- is one of the most important stories of the last six years. It's also a story that tends to go underreported, perhaps because journalists are afraid of sounding like conspiracy theorists. But this conspiracy is no theory".

I've already done 6 years out of an 8 year sentance which is a large portion but now the probation service have deemed me to be 'at risk of re-offending' and want me back inside, in other words my behaviour in the community is worrying them. I was locked up for a robbery in 2001 and in my opinion I have more than done my fair share of jail, I only got away with a few hundred pounds so it was hardly a mojor robbery! Its my drug taking which is worrying probation as I have tested posative for cocaine twice in a month, it was my crack habit which forced me to rob shops 6 years ago but now i just use coke recreationally so in my opinion the recall is unjustified. A fight I had while at my hostel has'nt helped matters but its the drug taking that has torn it. I've been on the run for a while but the police have tracked me down so now I'm going to hand myself in to the police at 6pm today.
I will be out in roughly 8-12 months and so I will read your answers then................Bye for now!

I had a flood in the basement of the condo. To make a long story short when our snow melted last month the water came in through the brick pavers of my patio and all into the closet of my basement and has ruined my carpet. My condo association paid to pull up all my brick pavers and repair the leak, but won't put them back. I filed with my insurance company and they came out and decided that it was due to "faulty design" of my patio that caused this flood. I did not have this patio put in, the owner before me did. Why am I paying for insurance if they don't do anything for me? Someone told me there is someone I can call to investigate my claim and to try to get me some money. I have a huge pile of bricks for a patio and I had to cut out a huge part of my carpet because it was destroyed. I need help!

1. The original theory holds no ground what so ever. All the first ape human bones were a hoax!
http://www.evolutiondeceit.com/chapter9.php

2. The missing link to proving humans were apes is missing still today!
http://www.evolutiondeceit.com/chapter10.php

3. The variations in human skulls does not mean that those skulls evolved from apes. All these classifications are really only variations and unique races in the human family. The difference between them is no greater than the difference between an Inuit and an African or a pygmy and a European.

4. Scientist are confused as to what is true and what isn’t:
Most of the participants at the Senckenberg conference got drawn into a flaming debate over the taxonomic status of Homo erectus started by Milford Wolpoff of the University of Michigan, Alan Thorne of the University of Canberra and their colleagues. They argued forcefully that Homo erectus had no validity as a species and should be eliminated altogether. All members of the genus Homo, from about 2 million years ago to the present, were one highly variable, widely spread species, Homo sapiens, with no natural breaks or subdivisions. The subject of the conference, Homo erectus didn't exist.

5. I have supplied you with evidence that blows Evilution out of the water. It’s taken on faith, the proof is not solid, and questions are not answered. Now lets consider the REAL truth. God created us. I will give just one example. Our eyes. Here is what the founding father of EVILUTION had to say about the human eye. DARWIN: “To suppose that the eye, with all its inimitable contrivances for adjusting the focus to different distances, for admitting different amounts of light, and for the correction of spherical and chromatic aberration, could have been formed by natural selection, seems, I freely confess, absurd in the highest possible degree.”

In nations where we are constantly bombarded by the words "freedom" and "democracy" (even in those which are Republics) is the mandatory slavery law known as conscription contrary to our creed?

For instance if a nation says that it runs off of the will of the people, would it then make sense to say that if persons are not willing to volunteer in a specific military campaign that they, they people have spoken?

If the power to drag individuals into war, with or without their consent lays solely in the hands of politicians - what is the difference between our forms of state and that of dictatorships and other totalitarian systems?

In reality it would seem that the people have very little input into what actually goes on in terms of law, and indeed policy.

So if we had monarchy as opposed to "democracy" for instance.. It would not even be a big change.

By profiling i mean using data compiled by credit reporting agencies and consumer reporting agencies to determine the character of a person, there are also many other ways to create a profile like "myspace". If people can get enough data on you don't you think they can compromise you somehow and take advantage. I think the initial intent of credit reports was noble but now it can be used to other means and with hackers running rampant anyone can get your credit report info.

Such a law will end the practice of male genital mutilation (circumcision) in the United States of America. Currently, girls are protected from genital mutilation by U.S. federal law, but boys are not.

Although legal protection of only girls from circumcision would seem to violate the equal protection clause of the Fourteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, the fact remains that it is still widely considered to be legal in this country to mutilate a boy's genitals in the name of social custom, hygiene, religion, or any other reason.
