Other - Politics & Government - August 2007

Seriously. The mega millions this week is almost 200. How is all of this money made up? From people buying the tickets? Couldn't all of that money go to a greater good, like the military, hospitals, people with diseases, or even overseas to help countries with famine? That's an awful lot of money to pour onto some people. I know that it can be divided up if a lot of people win but seriously, we're looking at almost 200 million dollars. I'm not saying that those people aren't going to make good choices with their money, some do. But it just seems like some people who win don't deserve it. Any opinions?

Is one of the most crucial stories of our time deep within Ashcrofts brain? Has there been any response from him regarding the forced pressure by Gonalez to get the spy program pased?

It seems Ashcroft would most likely hold the missing link- if he were to be willing to incriminate the crimial gang.

...she got into a car with a bumper sticker that said: "Single-Payer Healthcare Now!"

Now, if she wants the government out of her uterus, why would she want the government in her spleen or her tonsils? Or her lungs, muscles, ears, nose, throat or any other of her body parts?

Oh, and...if she got single-payer health care, wouldn't that allow the government into her uterus anyway?

I know it doesn't mean equal rights for youths and adults because we would all just be citizens. I also heard that "minors would be given the same procedural rights as adults" but I can't figure out what that means.

...so does that mean all the anti-Bush liberals who've been saying "get out of Iraq now" for years will be voting for some other candidate now?

Because I live in the US, am French and overall I like the US and its citizens :-)
BTW, French people like America and Americans, they just have some disagreements from time to time with your government:-)
It is time to heal the wounds, and I believe we are still more reliable and closer to you than Irak, Paksitan or Saudi Arabia :-) don't you think????

Portland is staging "terror drills" from August 20 - 24.

http://www.oregontruthalliance.org/node/3

http://www.lonestaricon.com/absolutenm/anmviewer.asp?a=1753&z=165

We know that in the past when there were terror drills in the US, terror attacks happened. Remember on September 11, 2001 when "the terrorists" highjcked planes but NORAD couldn't intercept them because they were running drills and they and they couldn't distingiush the drills from the real attacks?

that this is just another way of saying "we are staying the course" and now do you realize that they are two heads of the same ruling class elite that cares not a whit about you and I except as to how our sweat can increase their wealth and leisure and keep us subdued. Subjugation has been accomplished with co-optation by allowing us to think we all stood a chance of getting rich etc if you work hard and obey the law. We see now that that is the carrot which is working less and less and thus a shift to authoritarianism and tyranny is being implemented by the ruling class elite so aptly represented in a good cop/bad cop parody contained in the 2 party system

do you think that President will do about the Iraq war?

-If he/she pulls all US troops out at once it will be a disaster.
-If she/he keeps all US troops in Iraq it will be a disaster.
-If he/she pulls half of the troops out but keeps half the troops in Iraq it will still be a disaster because the civil war in Iraq will be out of control.

So how will the next US President "fix" Iraq/the Mideast?

I am a strong believer in civil rights. Why is it hard for blacks,latinos,and middle class whites to stick together? I believe the fight we must fight today is far bigger than our stupid racial differences. It really hurts me to see the youth of today fight against each other because of race! I also hate it when us minorities pick on white kids that live in our same neighborhoods! I believe we should stop fighting against our selves and use our energy fighting against a government that keeps us in poverty and sends our children to war! What are some Ideals to unite ourselves and change the world?

atheists?
Can't they just play fair, like the rest of us?
Are they so weak-minded that they get their little feelings hurt easily and have to run to mommy?
Are they not intelligent enough to carry on a mature, intelligent conversation, so they resort to tattle-tailing?
Do all they know how to do is play peace songs in the park with their guitars?
