to society?...convicted felons can't vote, can't travel to certain countries, can't join the armed forces, can't become a cop, can't ever own a gun even if they weren't convicted of a violent crime, long-time legal permanent residents could be get deported if they do at least a year in prison(used to be 5 years before the 1996 laws), etc..and the list goes on. Does the U.S. government think that people can never change and so we must punish them for the rest of their lives? Are "good moral character" requirements in reality "perfection" requirements? It's like saying "We know you were 19 at the time of the involuntary manslaughter, but we don't care that you're 56 now and that you're a better person"...

Or, What can we agree on that will benefit the most people?

Is this no longer a country of the people, by the people and for the people? Why does Washington and the media polarize us ? Worse, why do we allow it?

What will happen to places such as the Mayo Clinic, Cleveland Clinic, etc. that are highly specialized, and selective in the patients that they treat? Would government-run health care allow everyone and their brother to be treated at our premier diagnostic and treatment hospitals for run-of-the-mill ailments? What effect will government-run health care have on those patients who have the need for specialized care? Will it be harder/take longer for them to be admitted to top hospitals?

Have you been suspended by being targeted only to return with another new account, thinking that you’re fighting the fight, by heading back in to Y!A and feeding the trolls? Don’t feel badly because you’re not alone. Those numbers equate to many, many millions of people. Do you have numerous accounts simply because if one gets suspended, you can head right over to the next account and continue to ‘fight the fight’ and yep, feed the trolls?
The more accounts that Yahoo suspends and then encourages you to open new ones, the better they look to their advertisers. Your suspended accounts remain, even if you’re incapable of using it, Yahoo does. Yahoo uses it to sell advertising. That’s right, if you open 50 new accounts, they are counted and handed over to advertisers as 50 NEW prospective buyers. Your suspended accounts remain on the books as prospective buyers who might push that button and buy products that are advertised.

SIOUX CITY, Iowa — Democratic presidential frontrunner Hillary Clinton’s campaign admitted Friday that it planted a global warming question in Newton, Iowa, Tuesday during a town hall meeting to discuss clean energy.

Clinton campaign spokesman Mo Elliethee admitted that the campaign had planted the question and said it would not happen again.

"On this occasion a member of our staff did discuss a possible question about Senator Clinton's energy plan at a forum,” Elliethee said.

“However, Senator Clinton did not know which questioners she was calling on during the event. This is not standard policy and will not be repeated again.”

In a state where the caucus is held sacred and the impromptu and candid style of the town hall meeting is held dear, Clinton’s planted question may come as a great offense to Iowans.

According to a report on the Grinnell University Web site, the Clinton campaign arranged for some of the questions for the candidate to be asked by college students:

"On Tuesday Nov. 6, the Clinton campaign stopped at a biodiesel plant in Newton as part of a weeklong series of events to introduce her new energy plan. The event was clearly intended to be as much about the press as the Iowa voters in attendance, as a large press core helped fill the small venue....

"After her speech, Clinton accepted questions. But according to Grinnell College student Muriel Gallo-Chasanoff ’10, some of the questions from the audience were planned in advance. 'They were canned,' she said. Before the event began, a Clinton staff member approached Gallo-Chasanoff to ask a specific question after Clinton’s speech. 'One of the senior staffers told me what [to ask],' she said.

"Clinton called on Gallo-Chasanoff after her speech to ask a question: what Clinton would do to stop the effects of global warming. Clinton began her response by noting that young people often pose this question to her before delving into the benefits of her plan.

"But the source of the question was no coincidence — at this event 'they wanted a question from a college student,' Gallo-Chasanoff said."

The tape of the event shows that the question and answer went as follows:

Question: "As a young person, I'm worried about the long-term effects of global warming How does your plan combat climate change?

Clinton: "Well, you should be worried. You know, I find as I travel around Iowa that it's usually young people that ask me about global warming."

The campaign's admission that it planted the question may be another blow to the New York senator's image as a trustworthy politician

Go figure: In the beginning God created man & woman. Everyone say bc of Eve sin & pain began Adam was told not to eat from the garden specifically from GOD himself. Point: Women can infuence be influenced, nuture, produce, improvise, get things done, caring, giving, affectional, smart, outgoing, speak up, stand strong, independant, reliable, faithful,beautiful, determined etc....... the list can go on forever! It suppose to be so "they say a mans world" look around how is the world now? Violence, war, poverty, scandal, greed, lust, etc.... Point #2 since it was a woman who suppose to have caused the sin on earth let her fix it before it ends. God is coming and he is coming soon these are the sighns of time! Hillary can and may get more to eternal life. Men had a chance and look at the outcome! GO HILLARY GO

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HR_1955

HR 1955, the so-called "Violent Radicalization and Homegrown Terrorism Prevention Act" makes it a crime to hold any view which the government decides to claim is extreme.

This piece of legislation is Neo-McCarthyist and is designed to intimidate and oppress opposition groups. It has absolutely nothing to do with "terrorism," but is rather directed entirely against the American people. The Democrats and Republicans alike voted for this piece of crap.

When it was passed by the House, Ron Paul was out of town, but Jeff Flake, Dana Rohrabacher (an Anarcho-Capitalist when he was younger), Neil Abercrombie, Jerry Costello, Dennis Kucinich, and John Duncan voted against it.

It still must be passed by the Senate, so it can still be stopped. What are you doing to stop this evil and Orwellian piece of legislation from ever passing?

I am writing a paper about bank runs and was needing some insight on the subject. Specifically, what are the causing factors behind bank runs? What are the short/long term effects of a bank run? Are there any warning signs or preventive measures that can be done to avoid a bank run? Any insight or any suggestions about where to look for these answers would be greatly appreciated.

In those fanatical religious conservative countries in the middle east and the USA it seems like everything government / oil / economy, etc are going into the toilet while in the countries that are beginning to be more liberal in their way of life and thinking, the economy is growing, Oil seems to be popping up everywhere (new HUGE discovery in Brazil), people are thriving, their way of life seems to improve everyday. HUMMMM and all the Neo-Con Christians in america claim it's the LIBERALS bringing the country down. I also LOVE how you cons think people are an idiot when they draw links between good things and liberals BUT you have been saying Liberals are responsible for all the bad things happening in the USA for years and no one every called you CONS idoits for that conclusion (except of course the people who had some education).

I am currently writing a story and I want to cover all my bases and make sure it sounds believeable....

I have some one who has confessed to committing a murder and two attempted murders (to cover the first one up)...

He is a Colonel in the military - and it happened off post.

Is it plausibale that bail would be set?
How much?
And realisticly, how long would it take to go to court?

I am just trying to cover all my bases! (spell check did not work)
I thank you all in advance!

Is it time for America to break away from the UK and find real allies - not that France has a particularly good record with the US, albeit 1776 and 1812.

Britain can no longer be trusted as an ally - but Australia, Japan, Canada and France, maybe Germany almost certainly can be. France is on board with the US on Iran and the neo-USSR. As are the rest.

French Fries for all!

The War on Poverty is, and yet, another failed entitlement program! There are more people living below the poverty level now than when it was implemented! Do we have an exit strategy in this war?? Are we just going to keep throwing money at the problem? This program designed to "fight" poverty is the absolute best way to keep poverty going! When are we going to cut our losses and acknowledge that this is a war we cannot win!?!?
