How many more of our children have to die to line the pockets of these charletons. How many more lies do we have to catch them in. I know that many of you think that Clinton ******** was more important but no body died because of it. My twenty-one year old nefew was killed yesterday in Iraq and I know who really is to blame. Open up your eyes America.

I'm not meaning war, but who can survive on it's own without any aid but themselves.

I think west, not because I live on that side. But in San Francisco has the largest Federal Reserve Bank in the world, in California we have enough farmland to feed the whole west for a year and even the whole US. We also have Hawaii which has Pearl Harbor. And we got Alaska, which has plenty of oil.

Easts advantage is, they have factories which makes the weapons, some oil in Gulf of Mexico, and Washington DC. Other than that, I don't know anything else.

What do you think?

How can we as a society punish an emotion, is it right to punish someone from hating something or loving another? Is it unreasonable to think that actions not emotions are to be punished.

1..we would not have to work as hard to survive.... two family incomes to survive and neglecting children would not be normal
2.. their would be a smaller gap between the rich and poor,,,,, yachts and luxury homes would rarely exist.....
the rich would be more moderate.......

6. more varied politicians

WASHINGTON - Secretary of State
Condoleezza Rice told The Associated Press on Thursday that
Iraq is "worth the investment" in American lives and dollars and said the U.S. can still win a conflict that has been more difficult than she expected.

In an interview at the State Department, the nation's highest-ranking black government official also said the United States is ready to elect a black president.

Rice was asked whether an additional $100 billion the
Pentagon wants for the Iraq and Afghan wars might amount to throwing good money after bad in Iraq.
President Bush and Congress have already provided more than $500 billion for the two conflicts and worldwide efforts against terrorism, including more than $350 billion for Iraq.

"I don't think it's a matter of money," Rice said.

Some of the questions on the test are:What is the tallest Mountain in the U.S?The tallest mountain in the U.S. is MT.McKinley.What's one thing Ben Franklin was famous for?The catch is they are looking for 3 very specific answers for that question.Such as he was one of the oldest people in the Constitutional Convention.Another question is who is the current Attorney General?The answer to that is Alberto Gonzales.I'm in college and I don't know any of these answers.except I know Ben Franklin is famous for flying a kite and getting electricuted and was a famous politician.These questions are not relevant to becoming U.S. citizens at all.The reporter asked these questions on the street and nobody knew the answers not even the women.

I'm sure everyone has heard about Rep, Virgil Goode's (R-VA) astounding comments about Muslims.

By now every Muslim in the world knows about it and is saying "see, they hate us. It really is a crusade against Islam.

This will make some of the crazy ones go to Iraq to fight, and turn the even crazier ones into terrorists.

war movies or those epic movies that Hollywood is producing so many of these days? If they do, what do they think about when they watch the bloodshed in these movies? Do you think Hollywood producers suffer any cognitive dissonance after they make movies like this? They must recognize that most American males get off on these movies, since they are so successful.

I notice that young people don't protest, take action, or really seem to care about issues affecting our world right a lot of times. Whenever I see a protest, it is almost always people over 30... in other words, the parents of the soldiers overseas. So, my question is: what would it take for you to take action and/or protest against the war? I know that many in generation Y are against it, but we, the young - even though we are a large portion of citizens andcould have an impact, do nothing. Would it take a draft? Would it take others starting it first?


What would it take for you?

ps: I was looking at a book on the 70's when college students were shutting down colleges in protest and it got me thinking. Sorry if it seems preachy.

British didn't have much trouble with any Civil wars or terrorists and kept things under fairly good control for hundreds of years and they didn't even use that many troops.

They are doing absolutely nothing to speed up the progress in Iraq to a reasonable rate and now they want to invest another $170 billion into this pointless war. This will go on forever. The only way to solve this conflict is to neutralize every threat to the Iraq government. And doing that...is sooo wildly farfetched that I can't even begin to describe it.

According to legend,
They usually take the form of old men who enjoy partaking in mischief. Their trade is that of a cobbler or shoemaker. They are said to be very rich, having many treasure crocks buried during war-time. if anyone keeps an eye fixed upon one, he cannot escape, but the moment the eye is withdrawn he vanishes...!!

Six of the federal offenses were drug crimes, while others included bank fraud, mail fraud, the acceptance of a kickback, a false statement on a loan application and conspiracy to defraud the government over taxes.

Seven of the 16 received no prison or jail time, instead getting probation or small fines. The longest sentence was nine years, for aiding cocaine distribution, followed by a six-year term for conspiracy to possess marijuana.
