I'm 51 year old female who was injured on my second job. my second job is now paying me only 66% of my income and lost my first job because of disability with my back and neck injury. I have been going to therapy and now they took an MRI after 3 months and found 3 hernirated disc and a nerve inpairment that is effecting my right arm. I have not enough income coming in to pay the rent, car payments and insurance on the car. I have a social security appointment coming up to apply for disability, but that takes several months for approval. I have gone to catholic charities but was denied for help because I don't have enough income and other city agencies are out of money at this time. I Feel hopless and desperate for help. I have tons of paperwork to support my disability. My credit is now ruined. Can anybody help?

When Castro finally officially checks out how long a grieving period should we allow the liberals who so love and idolize him before we celebrate the death of that evil toad?

In the providence of jurisprudence, how would austin explain or account for the idea that there is a moral obligation tob obey the law? Does the mere fact that something is the law supply a reason for compliance with it? Does the claim that something is the "law" or is "lawful" carry with it any moral or normative connotation?

Is this a good idea to have judges letting criminal defendants serve in Iraq instead of going to jail?

If they are willing to serve, should we honor their service just as much as we would anyone else's and forgive their crimes when they return.

Roman slaves and criminals could were able to earn their freedom by serving as gladiators for a certain period of time.

Maybe the Army should keep it's high standards, and not allow violent felons to serve in the military. This approach would shut up those who believe the troops are in Iraq are there because they didn't do well in college. Allowing felons to serve in the military will give ammunition to those who wish to demean the troops.

The future of this country hinges on your answer to this question. What do you think?

Italy is having their lil' anti US base whine fest. South Korea has one every few months. I say we move out of these countries -- and they can't have it both ways. If North Korea wants to eat Soul for lunch, don't call us for help. See ya, wouldn't wanna be ya. Pick a lane. Do you agree?

The anti-adminstration nutjobs, like those on yahoo, always bash Bush for supposedly going to war with Iraq for the oil...

and though i know its all false, the democrats still believe it...

so why do they support Citgo, the gasoline company owned by Chavez.. the same man who hates America and is turning his country from a democracy to a communist state..?

They call the Bush Administration 'evil' for attacking Iraq in order to increase oil revenues for Haliburton (which is false, but still..in their minds of "logic".. they think so..)
... however they praise democratic politicians like Joe Kennedy who are trying to make Chavez's oil company America's #1 supplier of oil?!?!

I am a grandmother of 3 small children. The county that I live in has 54 buses on the road each day and only 7 working cameras on those buses. I feel that if a child knows someone is watching them, they are less likley to do harm to anyone. The powers to be in my county thinks it is a waste of money, what do you have to say about this matter.?

found the water temperatures in the Gulf of Alaska to be the coldest it's been in the last decade? NASA said we are about to go into another of our 30 year climate changes as our winter this year brought record breakers. So how does global warming fit into this when NASA said we have already started a cooling trend?

Is this really a threat to the sovereignty of the USA?
Are agreements really being made to form this union without our knowledge?
Could this proposed union explain the lack of meaningful action, by anyone in our government, to stop illegal immigration?

Also, I have considered working as a civilian employee for a branch of the military, but I don't know what kinds of jobs there are, and which ones are professional (a.k.a. decent paying, college degreed) jobs, if any. If anybody has any information about that, or just other ways that I could serve the country, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks.

If you think the rich don't pay their fair share, please take the time to answer the following questions:

1 - Specifically, how much more should "the rich" be paying than they already are?
2 - Specifically, how much less should "the middle class" be paying than they already are?
3 - Specifically, how much less should "the poor" be paying than they already are?
4 - In terms of the income groups listed above, what is "middle class"?
5 - In terms of the income groups listed above, who are "the rich"?

These questions are serious so vagueness (e.g., telling me how you feel) or ranting & raving will be reported as non-answers.

The guy was an outright plagirist who had no original thought. See John Mason. He was also a slave owner and adulterer. Alexander Hamilton knew him for what he was, why has this been lost in history.

i don't get it...japan has apologized in the past several times...but now Dem's are pushing for a stronger language in their apology...why do they want to stick the US nose in asias business...isn't the issue of comfort women between china, south korea and japan...what point is it for us to say something about...or is it some noble act like when Carter stopped supporting the former iranian government on "moral" grounds....which led to hostages being taken and a new islamic anti american state being formed...or do they just hate Japan...japan has been sending billions of yen to both countries for several decades after they apologized the first time...
