Are they so superficially brainwashed with whats on television they have lost touch with reality? Or did they never do their homework in school? I am talking about the one's who think its ok to hand-out millions of dollars to the corporate wealthy elite! But be damed if any poor get direct hand-outs! In trickle down economics the money never gets to the poor! http://www.usbig.net/ Our form of Capitalism sucks!

BACKGROUND (in rough)
Glasnost and Perestroika ‘dismantled’ the Soviet Union, now C.I.S., in part due to the largely unknown subculture of the internet at the time.

The authorities severed conventional communications to the outside world prior and during the change over from Communism.

However, the Soviet authorities overlooked the internet and the ability of its people within select groups to pass messages about to garner support for change and warn pro-democratic countries of an impending revolution.

At the time, it was without certainty on how the Soviet bloc would emerge and if peacefully as did the Velvet Revolution (or the revolution not occur at all) or that Yeltsin was certain to come to power from Gorbachev.

Gorbachev was under house arrest for his security for fear of mob violence during the transition. Fortunately, the aftermath turned out to be peaceful. (Otherwise, this question could conceivably, by a long shot, be asked from a gulag.) (Continued..)

This is a serious question.

And do you not find it ironic that it took a scoundrel to even make the bid for a female president a possibility?

Does the Senate Resolution 98 vote of 95-0 on July 25, 1997 warning the President (not to mention Al G.) that the Kyoto Protocol was DOA if they sent it up to the Hill portend little to no meaningful legislation regarding global warming coming from this group of Democrats controlling Congress?

Of course, Bill and Al went ahead and signed the Protocol anyway as their environmental allies cheered and their union and business allies exploded in rage. Knowing they weren't going to be submitting the Protocol to the Senate for ratification made that gesture good politics even if it was meaningless policy.

So, the question really is this: Since Al Gore seems to have convinced a good deal of the American public that serious consequences due to global warming are not too far away, and Democrats enjoy pandering to their political base as much as do Republicans, why will they NOT be submitting significant and meaningful legislation to do something about the problem?

I am a US citizen and I have a job offer to work full time in Canada and going by CIC's online assessment, it looks like I qualify to be considered as a SKILLED WORKER applicant. I have the following questions to help me figure out what I would need to do to secure my stay in Canada:

1) What fees am I looking to pay? Medical? Any type of VISA fees? Police records?

2) Would I be able to stay with a friend in Canada while I work there or would I need my own residence?

3) I read that you need proof of financial status to show that you can support yourself in Canada, but If I have a job offer, as long as it covers the minimum needed, is that enough proof?

4) What would I have to do if I wanted to get another job in Canada in case I wanted to leave the job I was given?

Any other information I need to know or that can be of some help to me, would be much appreciated. If I can think of other questions, I'll just add them later. :P Thanks in advance. :)

keep in mind that vince foster was murdered and not a thing was done about it. i happen to know that if she is elected then it will be the death of the nation. the eu and other such countries, muslims, will be allowed to come over and start having their way. we will lose our indentity as americans and all the men that fought and died for this country will be for nothing.

And do you think you or they deserved a raise?

This is not a 'general' question. I don't want answers like, "people deserver more". I want to know if YOU personally know someone as described above.

I personally don't think there are many people out there that worked for minimum wage for more than a month of two, and if they did, they were not very hard workers.

This is a question being asked in my politcal science class, and i was just wondering what everyone on yahoos take was... is the UN a great thing that we should participate in without trying to thrust our own systems and beliefs on other countries, or should we allow all lesser developed countries to be absorbed by our ideas... as most have been throughout history... does our democracy really work that well? I would be interested in any type of input here...

And furthermore, how can you expect it to succeed? As long as the abstract concept exists there will be no way to "win" the war because the concept will go on indefinitely.

PRESIDENT BUSH:"...my Chief of Staff...walked in and said, "A second plane has hit the tower, America is under attack." And, Jordan, I wasn't sure what to think at first. You know, I grew up in a period of time where the idea of America being under attack never entered my mind..."
