When The mortgage giants decided they wanted to make a bundle they sold people on the idea of buying a home if they could afford it or not. The Republican administration removed regulation and the mortgage people could then sell to anyone. Working or not. Then those greedy mortgage people build a trap into the mortgage loans. The interest rate would sky rocket. Then they put those mortgages into bundles and sold them to overseas countries showing them that as soon as the rates sky rocked, the could make a bundle and the bundle, not telling the overseas suckers that the people who bought homes were set up, and could never pay that new rate. Now the whole thing has collapsed, and the government wants the tax payers to pay the overseas borrowers who are getting more then a little angry over being had. They want to put the CEO'S into prison, and so the government is giving them our tax money to buy them off, and that is why they are not helping a single America home owner. Now if we let them do this, the tax payer will be the next sucker on the list.Think about this.

Open Question: Boyfriend likes and...
My boyfriend and I have had a very long history. We have been friends for 8 years and even through college we stayed in touch. He's always been there and throughout my life hes always been a positive influence as well as a very good friend. He has never let me down. When I came back from college we rekindled our flame and decided to give it another try. Acouple months ago he started a new job and picked up a new friend as well at his internship. He told me about her probably the first day he met her. He says they are friends and that was it. I was aware she was in his life and they talked on the phone and hung out every so often. This intern girl also is in a very serious relationship with her boyfriend who lives in a different state but they have been together for a while as well. i started picking up more and more on this "friendship" a month ago when I found these pics of her and her friends saved on his hardrive computer as well as pics he took from her facebook profile of her in revealing laundray at a halloween party. He told me she wasn't even hot and told me he was not interested in her. He also had pics that he stole from my facebook profile of my friends cropped out and even went as far to labeling them by their names and the position in the picture that they were in . Pretty creepy..I told him about it and he was like it's my buisness how i get off and he said he wanted me and only me. Then a week later I out he lied to me about taking this interngirl/friend and her roomate on a trip with his friends to west virginia on a boating trip. He had told me that the trip was a "guys -only" trip. I found out on facebook which makes it even worse b/ he was going to get away with this lie if i didnt find out myself. After that, I told him he would have to quit seeing her because he lied to me and now I didnt trust him. I told him he he wants me to still be his girlfriend he would have to respect my wises for him to not see this girl anymore. He said fine, and that he didn't want anything to do with her anymore. Then a week later I was looking through his phone and there was these late night-30 minute calls and texts. I contronted him and he basically had no good excuse to rectify the situation. He ignored my request once again. After I found this I made him call her and tell her he couldn't see her again and I was also listening in on the other end of the telephone. He said " I have been having problems with my gf and i think it would be better if we dont see each other for a while" she said " Well that's not completely unjustified of her to ask but that's on you.. not me"... when the convo ended he did wat i asked him to do and the intern/girl on the other end did not sound pleased at all. He got off the phone and said with attitude" There are you happy now?"...I was then requested that we make love and he said he wasn't in the "mood". When I went home later that day I was still not satisfied with what happened and called him.. And then he broke it off saying " I dont think i can let her go and admited that he had strong feelings for her". He said " I cant help my feelings and it wouldnt be right for him to keep being my boyfriend. I of course was devestated and heartbroken. That whole week I mourned and felt like complete crape. He was the last person in the world i thought would screw me over and he did. He led me on and lied to me and should have taken better care of my feelings. The next week I stared doing my own things and even went on a date. I changed my number and then de-faceboked friended him and he sent me 3 different messages online to "call him and he needs to talk and needed me to be there for him cause his cat died". I was always there for him so that whole 3 days I didn't call him because he had to learn that he cant just treat me any way that he wants and get away with it. That following few days I had agreed to come out to his house to see him cause he was depressed and sad that his cat died. When he saw me he wanted to get back together and try to make things work. Of course i loved him and he has never pulled anything like this on me ever except this time so of course I told him he could work on things and well see what happens. We are not completely back together. And now I dont really trust him. He said that he "chooses me" over her and he wants to make this right by working on things and trying not to see this girl anymore. Im lost at what i should do. I love him but he really hurt me and I dont know if i should take the risk on getting screwed over again. What do you guys think? Any suggestions would help.

Open Question: Does he love me or not? ?
Part- I:I am in love with one person for 10 months.We met our company training.Love at first sight.I was lucky he was seated to next to me.We had training 5 months together.Initially I had a bad impression since he was making fun of everyone(including girls ) On seeing him, everyone started escape.Whenever He tried to ask any question in subject , I tried to escape and avoided talking to him.It went like this for 2 months.then we had specific training again he was made seated next to me.he was seated in corner seat.so noway , he had to talk to him.He was very straightforward , aggressive ,open ,fight picking and cute.We hated each other n decided to move to other seats.but we didn't.Then he told me that I had a bad impression on him.He started tell me that he was a very nice guy , he never flirted , talked to girls in past.He hated girls.then i understood him.He is a really intelligent,smart, nice person.we too were very good our subjects and respected by our technical excellency by all.we both become friend and helped us in studies , tests.He was so smart that he would read my mind very easily.He would say anything seeing this others would say no , no , leave her alone , dont disturb her.He would say to them she s my friend she wouldnot mind.yes , I didnt mind and really enjoyed his speach.Eventhough I had a strong feeling for him , after coming to know that he was 10 months younger than me , i stopped my rromantic feelings and had only friendly feelings.After that , i looked at him like a good friend nothing else.Here comes the fate.something happened to him.He told me I m his only friend and everyone wanted to see him fail but except me and blaw blaw.He shared everything about him .Her school and college girls became surprised and told me he was a guy who never talk to girls.He told me thae same thing I m the only girl he talks a lot and behaves like this not to anybody else.He always talk about me to friends and I too talk about him to my friends and mother.one day he told me he was crazy with him.yes.He talked about me to his friends in front of me ..I was totally confused.He tried to help in everything. I learnt a lot from him only.He changed my life.He shed a light in my by teaching some basic manners.Part-II:Then we got posted in other city.He got selected in one project .He tried to convince his manager to select me for that project too. He succeeded in that.Some guys got angry on him and me for trying to include me in that project. I realized he had feelings for me. But before that I was selected for some other project and transferred to other city.Part III:Afer moving to another city, we talked once a month.Eventhough he talked to me once a month, during he would tell me everything to me that happened to him.He still shares secrets with me and says I m only person he tells everythin.Only my problem is and 10 months younger than me.In our culture , boys should me older than girls. he is cute .. (but some of my girl friends do say he is not so beautiful)For me he s most beautiful in the world.I am worried whether he has a friendly feeling or love stuff.I am a not so beautiful but little cute.Friends , tell me does he love me or not ?Does he have a love stuff feeling or friendly feeling?love him like anything in the world.I cannot live without him.At the same time , i m older than 10 months , I am not sure he has love stuff or friendly feeling.It s confusing me.He doesnot like to talk to girls.He is not like others.
Open Question: I can't decide on...
I have hazel green eyes and I have dark golden blonde hair. I have both Almay for hazels & Physician's Formula for hazels. Which one is better to use? Shimmer strips gets on my nerves cause the colors get mixed in with the color below it and it gets on the brush and it just aggravates me. Does anyone have any tips? Also, I have Merle Norman dark brown eye pencil and I'm light skinned a little bit of tan but not a lot.. Also, I'm 13 years old.. so I was thinking that was too dark for me? I usually don't wear eyeliner cause I think it's too much for me.. at my age.. and I only use clear mascara by covergirl or maybelline.
Open Question: How Much Weight Do You...
Or what percent of ideal weight do they make you get to? I am concerned because i have a small frame and have always been smaller, but im afraid they won't take that into account when deciding my ideal weight.
Open Question: Should I take my...
He seems a little bit less active. I haven't had him out in a little while due to myself having a little bit of a cold and I've been busy with other things, but when I let him out the other day he wasn't as bouncy as he usually is.It's been a lot hotter the past week and he's lost some hair on his lower back. I think he's just shedding because of the heat, but I'm wondering if it's anything else. I had a second chinchilla for only a month, but after I got rid of her he started to act a little weird. They were never in the same cage together. I planned on introducing them, but it just didn't work out. After a month of having their cages side by side, when they were introduced in the bathroom, Titus (my chinchilla we're talking about now) attacked her. She didn't try to fight back, but they were definitely not getting along. I did my research on chinchillas and just decided that I was not ready to introduce another chin after that round-up. So it seems he never really liked her as he was always trying to bite at her or scratch at her and she never seemed to pay any attention to him whatsoever. But I'm still wondering if perhaps he liked her more than I gave him credit for..A few months ago, he got a small injury on his foot that bled when he picked at it. It was healed for like two months and then all of the sudden, last night he was chewing on his foot again when it was perfectly fine. I don't weigh him or anything, but he seems like he may have cut back on some weight. Not a lot, but maybe some. He still eats, maybe even more perhaps, but I don't know. He somehow seems like he's a little smaller.He's also been pretty mellow. He's used to me brushing him on the occasion that I see some loose hair or grooming him with my fingers. He used to not like it when I touched his sides or anything but his back, head, and neck but lately he's been fine with me touching his sides and lower back/towards the tail. I'm worried that he might be sick, but I don't really have the money to take him to a vet right now. I mean, I could pull it together somehow if I really needed to, but I'm wondering if he's just hot from the increase in temperature or lonely because I got rid of the other chinchilla. Please don't say "Just take him to a vet". If you have any ideas as to how I can help him or further my observations to reach a conclusion, please offer advice. Please ask any questions and I will answer them. Also, please, if you feel you can help me, email me. I'll be on for most the day and I'll be quick to reply as soon as I'm aware of the email!

Open Question: What will voters do...
To be sure, Obama's government experience has been minimal compared to McCain's and he seems "elitist" to many. At the same time, Palin (who might very well find herself in the position someday of having to take over for McCain) has been so routinely dishonest about herself that she makes Casey Anthony look like Mother Teresa.Given that situation, will those particular voters who can't decide between the two tickets give their votes to Bob Barr or Ralph Nader or some other third party candidate? Or will they suck it up an pull the lever for Obama/Biden or McCain/Palin as "the lesser of two evils?"

Open Question: Animal Cruelty Help...
Okay, so around 3 months ago, my parents and i began looking for a new home for our puppy Frankie, he's a jack russel, and we, like many people, bought him thinking that we would have enough time to make him happy, but with me starting college and my parents both working, we decided that it was'nt fair for him to have to sit in the house from 9am in the morning untill 5:30pm when we got home.As heartbreaking as it was, we found someone that we thought would look after him through the dog groomer ( who is a complete animal lover), this woman was recommended highly from having looked after alot of jack russels in that past. So we thought that we had found the perfect home.After a few meetings Frankie went with this woman ( whose name i'm not gonna disclose ) and we said goodbye.It has been two months since that day we gave him to this lady, he was a happy, healthy puppy. Today, however was a huge shock.My parents and i were out on a break and took a drive into town, we happened across this lady with Frankie.However frankie has got patches of missing fur on his head, what looks like a urine infection,an eye infection, and the end of his tail is missing fur and looked very swollen and sore.Now i don't need to be a dog specialist to know that this is not normal, especially considering the fact that Frankie left our house, Wormed, De flead, and fully vaccinated.The woman came up with this lame story about walking him in the forest and his scratching his head on some bushes, but i have seen enough programs and stuff to know hair loss and a rash when i see it.Apparently he has been on Anti biotics, but i know that after 3 weeks of having an adverse reaction the vet would take him off.i feel really bad seeing him in this way, me and my parents have already tried to call the RSPCA and take their advice, we have also looked into every aspect of what the women was saying, but none of it makes sense.please helpx
Open Question: The Last Question To...
I was deeply in love with my ex. After being together for over a year she decided to call it quits, and already has a new boyfriend. The last thing I asked her when I last spoke to her during our last conversation was if she was still in love with me. Her answer was yes. Should I have asked this. Why would she break up with me if she was still in love with me? Do you think she's lying or playing games with me? I've been thinking about this ever since and I don't plan to confront her about tit.
Open Question: What do you do, when...
Last night, my boyfriend of almost 2 years left. In the beginning, we had so much fun together. I could look in his eyes and KNOW what hes thinking, and know that he loves me with everything that he has. Over the past year, we have gone through so many ups and downs, and i lost my mother. I will admit, after losing her, i lost a part of myself. I was slowly on a downward spiral to nowhere. He was there for me when he could be. He works 11 hours a day 5 days a week, then 6 hours on sunday. We didn't really get a chance to go out much, b/c my mother was my only family left, besides my son. He kind of ran my friends off b/c he didn't like them, but, he had good reasons. Now, hes gone. We both decided last night that we weren't very happy with each other. But, i love him so much, i feel like i cant function without him. So, now, whats left? I doubt he will want to be with me again. I never wanted him to leave in the first place. So what can i do to pick up the pieces? How do i go on with my life without him?

Open Question: DO YOU PREFER THE TOP...
I have suspected something was going on with my boyfriend for quite some time.Lately, when the phone rings he races to answer it. When I ask who it Is, he says, "Oh, just a salesman." I catch him texting someone constantly, but he never lets me see who it is.The other day I was home sick and the house phone rang several times, but when I answered there was silence, like someone was there, but they weren't talking. I decided to follow him last Saturday when he said he was "going out with the guys." I waited about a minute after he drove away to quickly get in my car and follow him. I was so nervous he'd recognize my car, but I think he must have been really distracted, like he had something important on his mind.He parked outside this little tavern a few blocks from where he works. I had never noticed the place before, but I glanced around and couldn't believe my eyes.There was a nail salon next door that stays open 'till 10 P.M.!!!!! I hadn't had my nails done in several weeks so I quickly popped in and had a full manicure and pedicure. My question is this: What would you consider a fair price for a manicure and pedicure, and would you have opted for a facial instead? I really need to know.
Open Question: How can i persue legal...
Here is the scoop! My roomates friend broke up with a psycho ex boyfriend over this past weeked. ( when i say psycho i mean.... put people in the hospital, steriod user, alchohol abuser, tire slasher, kid napper.. all the qualifications to be considered psycho) So the story goes...she decided to stay with us for the weekend and go to a football game and get her mind off of him. Which is understandable! So her and few friends were getting ready for the game and my husband and i decided to stay home and watch the Gator game (Woo Go Gators : ) ) and relax and have some friends over at the house. When the girls and my room mates came home around 2am they ordered some pizza and went to bed. When i woke up i had to run out to my car to get my sweatshirt, i found that the 5 cars that were parked in my drive way and in front of my house the tires had all been slashed. Needless to say, i Flipped out. Everyone came down and knew that it must have been her ex boyfriend because she just had new tires but on and he was upset about the break up. He txt her and said that he had made a mistake and would come over and fix what he had done by.. buying us all new tires. By this time we had called the police and put in a report about what had happened. He was stupid enough to admit what he'd done but then expect us to let him come over with no one outside(by his request) so he could "make right" what he had done the night before. Note: My husband and I have no idea who this guy was, never met him before. He slashed all of our tires too. In the afternoon the girls let him come over to fix their tires. I made it very clear that he was not to touch mine or my husbands car.. that he'd done enough touching (more like stabbing) of our cars. We had demanded he write a check out to us for the $900 + damage he'd done and for the fee's to tow and for our gas/ and break lines to be checked... He proceeded to fix the 3 other cars and got in his truck and drove away before he gave us a check. My roommate txt him and told him he needed to come back and give us the money.. his only reply was "send me the bill". Now if i had known that i was going to have our tires slashed i would have been A. not home or B. had money in a savings account for incase an @$$hole ever came along and slashed our tires. We hadnt planned on forking out that much money.... but we are going to have to do it regardless... we need to get to work. What i am looking for is advice to persue legal action against this psycho.... My husband leaves for Iraq in October and I dont really feel saft knowing some psycho is running around stabbing tires outside my house with a 6inch blade. Whats next shotguns and breaking and entering? Help me put this crazy one away....P.S. Restraining orders are going into play this afternoon.
Open Question: Cervix softening to...
I'm 21 weeks pregnant and I went in last week and the doctor checked if I was fully closed in the cervix... being curious I decided to feel what she was talking about. Yesterday I mowed the lawn on a riding lawn mover and than I felt slight cramps through the night and checked this morning and it does not feel the same it's soft now. I do not feel any hard tip, is this bad? I called my doctor this morning and the nurse was no help. I'm not having any cramps now but just worried about the tip being soft. What does that mean?
Open Question: Need help with love,...
I was living abroad with my parents, but then me and my mother were rescued, because my father was a bad man he was the cause of the domestic violence, then the embassy rescued us due to domestic violence.Me and my mother safely arrived back to my mothers home country England, with the help of the british embassy.When we came to england we were homeless because of what had just happened.So to arrange a place to stay we decided to go to a neighbourhood office, We went there early in the morning. The place hadnt opened yet.I was waiting outside with my mother. And there she was. A beautiful girl, she was coming to work (walking from the bus stop to her work place), she had the most beautiful face, and the most beautiful eyes, and such beautiful black curly hair, She was dressed decently, she was highly attractive and beautiful. I knew I was starting to fall for her the moment my eyes set on her walking past me and to her work place, and when I saw wind blowing through her beautiful hair.The moment I saw her I knew right away that I like her, and the thoughts going through my mind at that time were shes beautiful, wow, I like her, I wish I had a girlfriend and that it was her.I had always thought of what qualities I would like in a girl, I had a image in mind of what kind of a girl I would like.And I had just seen her. She matched everything I look for in my dream girl.No girl had ever made it into my heart ever. Because I was to choosey, and fussy, and never liked anyone.even the most perfect girl wasnt good enough to me.even girls people would die for werent good enough for me.I was starting to like her, anyway, the place opened, my mum and I went inside, We waited there nearly all day because it took along time for the paper work and for decision to come back. So I got a good chance to know her a bit more, and get an idea about her personality.The next day we had to go there again for a few more things, so I saw her again for nearly a full day. I was starting to fall in love with her. even thow I hadnt spoken to her alot.When leaving the place I had tears in my eyes, and I didnt want to leave her, thinking I may never meet her again.I went to our new home, I cried, I missed her for days,months, and now 1 years gone I still miss her, I cry for her.After a few days had passed I knew I was in love but there was nothing much I could do to fix things.I feel that I fell in love with her at first sight, I still miss her, I still have her in my hear, I still remember every detail of her, I have an image in my head. I cant sleep at nights since the first time I saw her. All I see is her, all I think of is her, all day, all night.I wish we were together, I wish I could make her my girlfriend, or even be in a relationship with her.I love her enough to get married to her. I just dont know how to find a way to ask her out, or get friends with her to tell her the truth.I cant talk to her in private, and theres a very hard chance of getting an appointment with her. And theres no way I can just ask a stranger out, or ask her to be my friend. shel think its wierd.Do you think this is love at first sight?I know its true love, because iv never been in love before, and shes my first and only true love.Its not just a crush, lust, or infatuation, because I cant forget her no matter how much I try, I cant ever imagine any other girl in my life beside her.Please tell me what you think, or any advice, It means alot to me.How can I tell her how I feel, when she hardly knows me, how can I get friends with her, Shes really strict, and serious too and really avoids all friendships with guys, and avoids all relationships with guys.Its almost impossible for me to get an appointment with her because theres like 30 people in the office, and the appointments arent with any fixed person, its all random, who is free will see you, and if you ask to see someone they ask too many questions theyl find out what I have to say to her before I even get to her.She doesnt like hanging out, she concentrates mainly on her work, she doesnt like going out, or hanging out with friends. its just her work is her life.then she goes home.I knew someone who knows her mother very well, thats how I know almost everything about her, how many sisters she has, all their names, her mums name, where she lives, her home phone number, her mums mobile number. but she hardly knows more than my name and age...I guess..what can I do to start a friendship with her, when shes so strict, and I have a chance of 1 in 30 of seeing her even if I go to her work place, and becuase she avoids men mostly, and has always done all her life theres a chance even if I do make it to her office shel say no.shes a career girl. she concentrates on that, shes never had a boyfriend in her life, beside a few kids in her school days. thats what i have come to know from a lot of her
Open Question: Is it possible for a...
I have a feeling I'm out of luck, but here goes: My employer is in one state. I'm in a different state. Our insurance company (we have a PPO) has decided it doesn't want to cover out-of-state employees anymore. The company is very small (less than 20 people). It has promised it won't let any of our coverage lapse, but I am not optimistic, since the controller asked me if it would be possible for me to get private insurance and be reimbursed for it.Since I have severe respiratory disease and hypertension, the answer to that would ordinarily be no. With this and my previous job, I've had continuous insurance coverage for nearly 10 years. Would that "creditable coverage" be any use to me in getting decent private coverage that would cover my pre-existing conditions? If I quit (I'm thinking about it...) COBRA wouldn't seem to apply because the company is dropping the insurance. And, of course, if I end up uninsured for more than 62 days between jobs, I lose all my creditable coverage and am back at zero.Is private insurance a realistic possibility, or am I in fantasyland here? Thanks!

She blames me of every single mistake she makes, specially the money , she used to be very well off and now she is not poor but she wants to have the lifestyle she used to and she cannot afford it. She has become abusive and controlling better said she is crazy for a few days and then she goes back to normal( she can be an amazing woman) but in the last few months it's been more crazy than normal.... last week i decided to move out, i hope she'll realize i'm not the reason of her money problems, actually i've been pretty much giving all my money to her. She nag gs about everything, always trying to find an excuse to complain.I know that i made a lot of mistakes and i recognize them, she will not accept that she has some issues and the problem is not me ot at least not all of it. I don't know what to do, should i just get the hell out? or give it some time?I'm starting to resent her and i really don't want that, we;ve had a very good relationship until now, and i just wish she could take me for who i am and stop all this nonsense. Help!!!
Open Question: Can I dye my own hair?
I'm a natural brunette and 2 months ago I had very subtle blond highlights put in. Although I like them I've decided I want to go back to my natural colour. Is it ok for me to dye my hair myself or should I pay a lot to get the hairdresser to do it?
Open Question: Is it cheating or not?
My Fiance (I can't spell.) had a friend in from out of town. They cuddled and shared a kiss like friends do ... nothing serious that would upset me. Then her friend touched her in her pants and shirt ... she pushed her away and stopped it and had nothing to do with her from then on, but I can't decide if that's cheating? Thoughts?

Open Question: Would you be concerned...
One of my children just started a mother's day out/preschool program, a few weeks (about 3) ago. He has a November birthday, and is still 2, He's able to use the toilet and is tall for his age. When we went to enroll him, we were advised by one of the staff that we should put him in the 3yo class because of his maturity level (my guess is because he was toilet trained). I really thought it was a bad idea because he was so young and still acted 2 in many many ways. But my husband and I thought about it and because that class was almost full we decided we'd try it there and move him back if needed. Out of nowhere I was approached by the person who advised me to put him in there that the teachers don't think he should be there because he isn't as mature as all the other kids (he's the youngest by a good 4 months). Which I was kind of taken by surprise because they never spoke to me about it up to this point and she said she begged the teachers to give him one more day so she could talk to me about it first. I don't want him in a room where he's not doing well, but I don't understand why they didn't approach me sooner. I mean why not after the first 1-2 days when they saw it wasn't working out? I only put him in there on her advice, and I feel really embarrassed, like I'm one of those mom's who thinks her kid is so advanced etc. Will it be better next year when I send him there again and he's back in that class, will the embarrassment (mine) go away??? Also, do teachers at preschools talk about all the kids/parents after they leave?

Open Question: Baby shower for 2nd baby?
My best friend asked me what I thought of her throwing me a shower for my second baby. It has been 6 years since my daughter was born, and this one is a boy. Is it socially acceptable to have a second shower? I suggested that if she does throw a shower for me, to leave it up to the guests to decide if they want to bring a gift or not. (Eg word the invitations as more of a celebration of the pregnancy, than a shower. That way if they find it tacky, they can just come to play games and have some food.)What is your opinion?

Open Question: How do I approach the...
We are given 5 sick/personal days, they are good Jan.-Dec., if you dont use them you lose them. You have to be at the company 6 months before you use any vacation/sick/personal time off. She thinks if you use them to not lose them, you are abusing them. Then she says you should use them is you really need a personal day. Who is she to decide what is a valid personal day. What i deam personal to my standards is not the same as hers. Its not like the company thinks any more highly of anyone because they didnt use their time, the probably like it. Do I Just take the days off, I can start taking them 9/24/08 and only have until the end of December.Just this morning she made a comment about an employees dedication because she used some personal and vacation time since she hit 6 months on the job and was eligible.What should I do? I dont want to make her mad, but I dont plan on losing any days I have coming to me.
Open Question: Is it legal to create...
I've half a mind to build a flying boat based loosely on the BF Goodrich inflatable airplanes of the Viet Nam War. People toss out plastic, fiberglass insulation, wire and the occassional lawn mower engine...and that's pretty much all there is too this type of airplane...and they could it's light enough to qualify as an ultralight...But as a "anti-communist" I fear that my political veiws against the Ronald Reagan Right Wing Communist Revolution in the USA has resulted in my "loss" of civil rights without meaningful trial before a jury of my peers (given I was d ate r ape drugged into "family" and "divorce" ~ with my conserfative appointed RN ~ after doing my job as a law enforcement official who got shot trying to stop his fools from selling d ope in the USA). I think it's was wrong to suspend heabius corpus, the right to refuse uncoerced testimony against a wife, etc. as well (gee I think I know where they went...so are my civil rights lost or merely misplaced?) But what do I "know" ~ after all, I've been told my observations of a communist takeover are merely a conspiracy theory...Bcause after all, doesn't the Government decide what the communism means, and isn't victory against the REDS a known, because Rush Limburger says so? After All, isn't a RED, someone who believes in Liberal attitudes, rather than a person that believes in assuming guilt and forcing the victim of such assumptions to prove his innocense, or refuses to let others, not in his party or "of his convictions", to participate in the economy by governmental control over EVERY means of PRODUCTION?Isn't a political / legal theory that would certainly have kept the Wright Brothers GROUNDED, and Henry Ford whittling on his back pourch dreaming of lost business opportunities after the courts shut him down for "attacking vested interests in a totally untoward way","ALL AMERICAN ENOUGH"???Well, no, not it's not enough American for me to say: a judge, on a totally unbusiness related manner can ruin a man economically, in civil court, if he cannot answer the question yes or no: "Did you stop beating your wife?"But the Ronald Wilson Reagan Communist Revolution has left winged us by going so far to the Communist Right that we's all the way around to the extreem Left!So, is it OK to be a Wright Brother today and build a flying airbag?Or would that threaten the "feedoms" of the Communists that call themselves Conserfative Democrats and Republicans in that this "violates" their communist right to control every means of production? Cause, I really wouldn't want to be stepping on the toes of such "great Americans".Who else but they could have gotten us in debt over 10 trillion dollars federal deficit, and over a trillion dollars in foreign trade deficit (something they call and account as "healthy business dealings" or a big part of "our" GDP). How could we live, without THEM?And I've no right to a jury trial before confiscation of well over what would certainly be now over a Million Dollars in property...so I'm stuck with an "order" mocking respect for children, that denies me all civil rights to any form of commerce, or License, such as pilot's license or perhaps even a right of Registration ~ if the local Commisar of Reagan's "family court" determines this is "inherantly a form of License"...without appeal or any sort of hope of report in any "form of PRESS media"...because family court "LAW" trumps all right to freedom of the Press as well as well.So, I restate, because some of the Communists mocking Liberty here on Yahoo might not get it that this above seeming rant is merely a clarification of the problem implying I want Case Law. If availible I'd like more data than the fact that my business', home, family, property, career and etc. were summarily confiscated in "civil court" in a sealed "hearing" where nobody can know by Law what was said, outside of "no fault being found" and a simple divorce was issued on irreconsilable differences grounds, to a man not yet divorced from his first wife, by a later wife, found to be a wife by "common law". I understand so much of the Communist Agenda has been determined to be a family court secret by current law (rather than to upset the "kiddies" that the government has gone RED they upset the civil right of the Nation to know there has been a fundamental shift in LAW towards a communist court's presumption of guilt before proof of innocense). But, it would be nice to have warnings of any indication that additional travesties might be forthcoming should I try to fly, associated with the 28 year old Ronald Wilson Reagan Right Wing Dictatorial Communist Revolution, because I tried to stop them from de@ling d ope, to finance the revolution and bribe (I suspect) d ope addict voters into voting essentially communist.I mean, they must have "taken out" others who threaten their revolution...who later tried to fly a rubber plane...so what happens next Do they sho ot down old bags of wind too; if we fly try to fly one past them?

Open Question: Who is responsible for...
This is a long story. A photographer came to my workplace wanting to take photos for his portfolio. My workplace usually charges a fee for this, instead, they offered to let him take photos for free if he'd do some shots for their web page in exchange. There was no contract signed in this agreement, nor any waiver for lost or damaged equipment. The photographer put his $1200 lens out on a table and left the room. A coworker and I were checking out some handheld spotlights. When I handed them back to my coworker, we didn't connect and one was dropped on the table on which the lens was sitting. I don't know if my coworker also bumped the table in trying to catch the light, but the lens was shaken and fell to the concrete floor. We apologized and when he demanded money from us a week later for the broken lens, we went to our superiors to tell them about the situation. In discussions with the photographer, my employers decided that my coworker and I should handle it privately with the photographer.We were told by others not to call him as it was his fault for leaving expensive equipment out, etc. We called him finally because he was threatening to sue us for the expense. He's asking us to each pay one third of the cost, about $400 each, and a used lens is only $100 less than a new one ($1200); his warranty/insurance has run out as the lens is 3 years old. Is this right? Should we pay him or should our employer have paid him? Should he sue our employer instead? Is it just too bad for him and nobody owes him anything? Are there legal issues with this I should know about? Obviously if we tell him to do this or if he does sue the company I could lose my job, I work in an at-will employment state. Complicated, I know.
Open Question: What do you think of...
Authenticated letter:Subject: FW: re Sarah Palin This is from a friend of a friend who lives in the town Palin was a mayor of. The writer has given permission to circulate the letter with her/his name on the letter, but requests that it not be posted on to any web sites. Since it seems highly unlikely that it would be possible to protect the writer from that, I've taken the person's name off it. If you would like to know who the writer is and can guarrantee that you will not post it with name attached on a web site and that the chain of people you pass it on to will not then I would, of course, tell you the original source and how it came to me. Dear friends, So many people have asked me about what I know about Sarah Palin in the last 2 days that I decided to write something up . . . Basically, Sarah Palin and Hillary Clinton have only 2 things in common: their gender and their good looks. :) You have my permission to forward this to your friends/email contacts with my name and email address attached, but please do not post it on any websites, as there are too many kooks out there . . . Thanks, Anne ABOUT SARAH PALIN I am a resident of Wasilla, Alaska. I have known Sarah since 1992. Everyone here knows Sarah, so it is nothing special to say we are on a first-name basis. Our children have attended the same schools. Her father was my child's favorite substitute teacher. I also am on a first name basis with her parents and mother-in-law. I attended more City Council meetings during her administration than about 99% of the residents of the city. She is enormously popular; in every way she's like the most popular girl in middle school. Even men who think she is a poor choice and won't vote for her can't quit smiling when talking about her because she is a "babe". It is astonishing and almost scary how well she can keep a secret. She kept her most recent pregnancy a secret from her children and parents for seven months. She is "pro-life". She recently gave birth to a Down's syndrome baby. There is no cover-up involved, here; Trig is her baby. She is energetic and hardworking. She regularly worked out at the gym. She is savvy. She doesn't take positions; she just "puts things out there" and if they prove to be popular, then she takes credit. Her husband works a union job on the North Slope for BP and is a champion snowmobile racer. Todd Palin's kind of job is highly sought-after because of the schedule and high pay. He arranges his work schedule so he can fish for salmon in Bristol Bay for a month or so in summer, but by no stretch of the imagination is fishing their major source of income. Nor has her life-style ever been anything like that of native Alaskans. Sarah and her whole family are avid hunters. She's smart. Her experience is as mayor of a city with a population of about 5,000 (at the time), and less than 2 years as governor of a state with about 670,000 residents. During her mayoral administration most of the actual work of running this small city was turned over to an administrator. She had been pushed to hire this administrator by party power-brokers after she had gotten herself into some trouble over precipitous firings which had given rise to a recall campaign. Sarah campaigned in Wasilla as a "fiscal conservative". During her 6 years as Mayor, she increased general government expenditures by over 33%. During those same 6 years the amount of taxes collected by the City increased by 38%. This was during a period of low inflation (1996-2002). She reduced progressive property taxes and increased a regressive sales tax which taxed even food. The tax cuts that she promoted benefited large corporate property owners way more than they benefited residents. The huge increases in tax revenues during her mayoral administration weren't enough to fund everything on her wish list though, borrowed money was needed, too. She inherited a city with zero debt, but left it with indebtedness of over $22 million. What did Mayor Palin encourage the voters to borrow money for? Was it the infrastructure that she said she supported? The sewage treatment plant that the city lacked? or a new library? No. $1m for a park. $15m-plus for construction of a multi-use sports complex which she rushed through to build on a piece of property that the City didn't even have clear title to, that was still in litigation 7 yrs later--to the delight of the lawyers involved! The sports complex itself is a nice addition to the community but a huge money pit, not the profit-generator she claimed it would be. She also supported bonds for $5.5m for road projects that could have been done in 5-7 yrs without any borrowing. While Mayor, City Hall was extensively remodeled and her office redecorated more than once. These are small numbers, but Wasilla is a very small city. As an oil producer, the high price of oil has created a budget surplus in Alaska. R.......this is a lengthy letter, and it is authenticated on this site, which is why it's there.
