If a person votes once every four years, they are not going to find out that their eligability is being questioned. There is no other way to do it. Yes, there are many examples like your wife. However, instead of the costly processes that have been set up (last election Milwaukee went more than $3 mill
To me, there is no reason to try to seperate this crime from any other Involuntary manslauter. The two oxygen thieves in question may not have intended to kill this child, but he did die as a result of their actions. Their excuse was that they were just "disciplining" him doesn't change the fact that they killed him. All they are trying to do with this excuse is try to appeal to other parents, hoping we all can identify with how frustrating
Thanks, this is an important issue to discuss, my response was specifically to your article, so your opinion of what I said is all I was looking for. However it would be interesting to see what others say about it. Glad you liked my reply.
The only questions that need answering are: Income tax or National Sales Tax: If it is National Sales tax, then there is only one question... What percent will maximize revenues while minimizing the burdon on individual taxpayers. If it is an Income Tax then only two questions need to be answered: What percent flat tax will maximize revenues while minimizing the burdon on individual taxpayers? (The Laffer C
My question is, our military presence in the recovery efforts has been estimated at about $6 million a day. If we are willing to spend that much money to have the military do a job that apparenly, only they can accomplish, how much is too much to pay Halliburton for what only they can accomplish? ((Sorry, I have no link of reference to the $6 million figure. It's just a figure that I've heard on radio and tv. Give it as much credence as you
I always thought Left and Sinister were synonyms! ;~D
I too would like to see stronger anti-monopoly laws brought in, and in return much improved anti-piracy laws. Assuming that all downloads are "piracy".
Thanks for clearing that up Shadesofgrey. Yet another example of why Journalistic Ethics is an oxymoron. No wonder so many people get their news from late night comedians, with the jokers we have in the press, who can tell the difference? ;~D
I agree with you Jilluser. When you get right down to it, no scientific principle has ever been established without people of science believing in it long before they could prove it. Heavier than air flight (for example) was debated for centuries, many considering it folly to even pursue since it was obviously impossible. Yet those in science who dared to dream (IMHO, the true scientists) knew that someday it would not only be possible, but so commo
The problem with how they running the "anti piracy" lawsuits now is, the defendant is innocent until proven guilty. If their stormtroopers come to my door, accusing me of illegal downloads, it is left up to me to prove them wrong. Remember, not all downloads are illegal. Furthermore, the music industry has a lot of gall accusing anyone of theft. Those murderous thugs have been stealing music from all of us for decades now. They brag about
Isn't it ironic that, with all our technological advances, we haven't progressed beyond a simple "X" on a piece of paper, when it comes to voting. ;~D
So, apparently the U.S. isn't as universally hated as some would have us believe. I haven't seen many countries turn down aid from us after a disaster... military, monetary or otherwise! ;~D
My combination of beliefs must be just too much for the website to handle, I tried it 4 times, and each time the window closed immediately after I hit "submit". ;~D
Blah(g), Blah(g), blah(g)... ;~D
Holding ISPs responsible because file sharers use their services to download songs makes about as much sense as holding a city responsible for a bank robbery because the robbers drove the "getaway car" on the city's streets. In reality, the absolute best thing that could possibly happen for music and movies in this country is the demise of the RIAA and MPAA!!!
I don't think I'd get it, even after 3 times. as for ben laden Is that the Ice Cream business partner of Jerry Laden? ;~D
I was just going to smile, and agree to disagree but this works. ;~D
I'm as lazy as they come (when the work's all done)/ ;~D
I know sir, how about we include vets who are members of Congress in all the "anti double dipping" laws from which they have exempted themselves. Then we'll tell Congress that the only way they can collect a pension is after at least 20 years of public service. Then, we should tell members of Congress that, if they want healthcare, they will either have to buy into the same program as all other government employees, or they can choose to be seen by t
I'm always entertained by a politician's ability to drop a word, or a name and **poof** the press picks up on it and people snap to attention with an "I hear and Obey". After the Oklahoma City bombing, Prs. Clinton dropped the word "Michigan Militia", and quicker than you can say "wierdo in the woods" all of the sudden, Militias were not only a household word, but public enemy number one. Forget the fact that the only connection McVeigh had t
P.S.. More to the actual point. over the next few days, a lot of blogs, forums and mssg boards will get filled with the opinions of "We, The People", Talk Show hosts will fill air time, Senate Republicans will get a chance to tell the world how great he is, while Senate Democrats will make him sound like in reincarnation of Hitler himself. Alberto Gonzales will be confirmed as the next Attorney General, and whatever was said against him, will magica
The ironic part of it all is, even the Geneva Convention (which many seem to have elevated to canon, at least if it serves their political agenda) does not recognize terrorists or suidice bombers as POWs since they do not fit the following requirements: Those entitled to prisoner of war status include: 4A(2) Members of other militias and members of other volunteer corps, including those of organized resistance movements, provided that
It wasn't just his inaction. He sold all of their stuff at some point and made her live in a bus with five kids. A bus....with five kids....that would drive anyone crazy. He also never bothered to make sure she took her meds and continued seeing the doctor. She is on trial for her crimes, and should be.
She should be hospitalized for the rest of her life. Yes, in a maximum security "hospital". As for the calls for "capital punishment", I would tend to disagree with that sentence. While I am an advocate of capital punishment, I think it the ultimate penalty should be reserved for the ultimate
Our system of voting does need to be reformed, but that reform should be more of a return to how it was meant to be than a total overhaul. First of all, the total idiocy of the "provisional ballot". What is a provisional ballot anyway? It is a ballot cast by someone whose eligibility to vote is questionable. Why is it that, on election day, that person's status us still not verified? Because we have almost completely destroyed any common s
