It depends...a lot of the petitions (specifically, the ones sent through email) are scams, or just plain false...but online petitions can be a good way to get positive change. When it gets right down to it, though, I prefer paper - it's much easier...  [Read More]

Thats my take on it too. With a lot of these political issues youcan't help but think that if they just started completely from scratch they could sort it out pretty easily - but they are all such vicious circles that the politicians can never break...  [Read More]

I don't get this whole issue. They're illegal immigrants and claiming they're not criminals?!? The deal is, you're a citizen you're entitled to the right to vote, and get government funded services in exchange for paying taxes. You're not a citizen y...  [Read More]

From CBS.com (http://cbs2.com/topstories/topstories_story_087055339.html): "...about 58 percent of those undocumented workers are employed and of that number, over half are paying federal taxes. But the revenue is not enough to offset the drain...  [Read More]

Okay, I'm really disgusted about this now (http://www.breitbart.com/news/2006/03/28/060328144530.5qwylcsk.html). Non-citizen illegal immigrants are out in the streets demanding rights that any nation only guarantees to its citizens. They're basically...  [Read More]

Thousands of people (http://apnews.myway.com/article/20060325/D8GIA4982.html) turned out across the US today to protest the Congress finally formally addressing the issue of illegal immigration. The immigration bill(s) stiffen penalties for immigran...  [Read More]

So it IS all about oil?? ;) I don't think it's all about oil...but oil is definitely a contributing factor. After all, without oil, the Middle East would be irrelevant to global politics. Afghanistan has some oil, they just didn't build up as power...  [Read More]

Indeed. It definately didn't happen in the west overnight. Infact it still hasn't happened that much in some parts of the west after hundreds of years. But whether we should be on some crusade to spread our superior values to the poor savages is ano...  [Read More]

I don't see why this thing needs to be so top-secret. Of course al-Qaeda members already know that it's very likely they could be being spied upon, which is why they speak in code. All that knowing about such a program means is that it confirms somet...  [Read More]
