There was a question about a National ID card. How about a microchip in your body somewhere? Just think...scanners, linked to computers, in various public places can keep tabs on everyone's whereabouts in real time...right?

Basically, my mother at the time couldn't speak English very well and was assisted by a nurse when it came to my name on the birth certificate. My middle name is "Sun" on the birth certificate because the nurse thought my mother got the name wrong. It's supposed to be "Son" because that is my mother's first name. Because of that, my name on my driver license has to be "Sun" as well. I have "Son" on other documents I use for regular use. Even when I check my credit, it acknowledges that I'm "Son." It hurts me that I can't use my mother's real first name as my middle because the nurse thought my mother didn't know english well enough. I currently live in Duluth, Georgia and was born in Fort Polk, Lousiana.

I'm moving to a new location in a month in Tucker, Georgia and I just got the title to my car and am waiting sign it. I want to see if I can have all of this settled before I put "Sun" on anymore documents. Any suggestions?

I know that that is a subjective question but I'd like to know what the community thinks.

When I google it, mainly negative stuff comes up like the Iran Contra affair, the three trillion dollar debt he brought us into and his refusal to acknowledge AIDS until 6 or 8 years after it was discovered.

I know that these events are true, but I'm having trouble finding any positive things that aren't rebutted.

I read about how he was credited for bringing communism down in Russia. The thing is I studied abroad, economics specifically in Russia. That literature never mentions Reagan being responsible, it talks about Gorbachev and Perestroika and its political, economical and social reforms instead.

So I'm a little confused.

The combined effects of recession and national emergency could have been devastating for America's economy. Yet President Bush's tax cuts--following through on a promise he had made to the voters--resulted in a shallower recession, a faster recovery, and a platform for growth that remains sturdy to this day. The fact is that in a time of unprecedented challenge, the United States has experienced nearly six years of uninterrupted economic growth and added more than eight million new jobs since August 2003--more than all other major industrialized nations combined.

The economic growth encouraged by the president's tax cuts is now producing sharply increased federal tax receipts--up by nearly 15% in fiscal year 2005 alone, nearly 12% in fiscal year 2006, and projected to rise nearly 7% in the fiscal year that will end this month. That is the highest growth in tax receipts in consecutive years since 1981.

Alan tells of his first meeting with then President-elect Bush on Dec. 18, 2000, at the Madison Hotel in Washington. I recall this breakfast meeting very well, especially Alan's comments on the state of the economy. The Fed chairman told the president-elect and our team that America faced the real possibility of a recession in the wake of the collapse of the late 1990s technology sector bubble. Alan's prediction proved correct: In the final months of the Clinton administration, the nation began an economic slowdown that turned into a recession.

Firefighters in Lansing, Mich., used a forklift Tuesday to extricate a 900-pound man from the second-floor bedroom of his home. Rescue workers were called in Tuesday by a visiting nurse, who determined the 33-year-old man needed medical help (Snip) The extrication took a little more than three hours.

Is this the equivalent of Bush & Co. telling the army: You are not good enough to protect our people?

Does Bush & Co. think that poorly of our soldiers, that they have to hire mercenaries for protection instead?

I do agency work, but every work place the agency sent me, work politics is so rife and it's demotivating. I look after people with learning and physical disabilities. I don't feel like going back. Management change has taken place several times but the culture within the organisation still the same. From middle management upward, they hide behind their bureaucratic system/policy because it protects them but no protection for the frontline workers.

I do. I can't stand single mothers, hoodies, foreigners, the chronically lazy, people who can't be bothered to learn English, fatties, people with too many children, etc the list goes on.
I mean- I earnt it- why shouldn't I be able to allocate the money to the generation who made this nation great- ie our current older pensioners- instead of some little loose-kneed teenage scrubber and her towny boyfriend afraid of latex, some moronic yobbo too lazy to work or some garlicky foriegner with their grubby hand outstretched- these are precisely the shite of society who are ruining this nation.
Why should they get free health etc?

Sick to death of it I am. Thieves, rogues and never-do-wells the lot of them- they should bloody-well starve like in the 3rd world- if you don't work there= you don't eat. Simple.
You don't see too many lazy people in Asia.

What about you? Do you think all benefits should be cut to the able under-60's?

When you drive you are putting others at risk so I can see why they want mandatory car insurance. Who are you putting at risk, besides yourself, without having health insurance?

I knew that would draw in the Federal propaganda mouth pieces.

I ask you "America" this question

Every time someone posts a question like the one I posted above, there are several who come and answer in support of paying taxes with no law. They bring up the same old b.s. remarks about the 16th amendment being ratified and then go into title this and title that.

What real American has all this title information? What real American can even understand tax language or specific past court rulings?

No American - that is who!

What American have you ever spoken with who actually supported income taxation.

These people who answer these questions in support of taxation are Federal officers or the like, not Americans.

No real American is going to support giving up 1/3 of their paycheck.

These people are there to keep the lie going. Saying things like, "Go ahead and quit paying, see how fast they knock at your door". They use intimidation and threats - not law!

Wake up
