Politics & Government - 31 December 2007

From what I've seen and heard, I am beginning to belive that he may have a chance to win. If not the Republican nomination, possibly the general election as an independent. He seems to have major grass roots support. I don't see how the electoral college could get away with not electing him if he recieves the majority of the popular vote. Wouldn't that cause a constitutional crisis?

I am 25 and planning on talking to a Coast Guard or Navy recruiter. I am very concerned about the GI Bill and how to get the best type of job while in the service. I am also considering the reserves too.

I need to know:

How its determined which job you can have?
Are there any good books or online resources to help?
How and what to study for any type of standardized tests?
Will my age be a problem?
Where to start?

Will AlQuaeda run out of donations or recruits and hatred first...or can USA's economy outlast the higher and higher gas prices, the record foreclosures, the deficit spending, the deeper and deeper debt to China, and crumbling societal infrastructure and social safety net programs and educational system?

Also (and this is not directly related to the first question), when was the last time two military battleships actually fired their guns at one another in combat?

I would say there are alot of people in politics have and will continue to, most not being held accountable.

We the people are the ones who elect the people who are in positions of our government, it is our "job" to remove them when they displease us.

After reading an article, I am simply devasted. An entire family wiped out due to a drunk driver who of course only suffered minor injuries!

"The 36-year-old mother and three children died at the scene.

A 6-month-old baby later died at a nearby hospital.

The driver in the pickup truck is believed to be Michael Gagnon, of Adrian, Mich.

He suffered minor injuries in the crash.

According to police, he was driving at three times the legal blood-alcohol limit."

Our laws are too numerous, too harsh, some are unconstitutional, and this garbage pile of legal code continues to grow each year as politicians run on a "get tough on crime" platform and pro-Three Strikes Law activists push their hate. Nowhere is there redemption and rehabilitation anymore.

And unless this impacts us personally, who is going to acknowledge this problem and oppose it.

I know there are some out here who feel our laws are too draconian, but know that civil disobedience will only turn those same laws against us. Is the answer to over turn bad laws when sitting on juries? To exerise "jury nullification", a seldom-mentioned right of all citizens?
