Teachers, do you feel that this Act has hindered your own philosophy of education?

I've been with my guy for about 2 1/2 years but we have been flirting with the idea of a relationship for almost 8years...well, we live together and he's very moody which i'm fine with...however, when he gets in these moods he tends to be insulting and rude...for example, friday morning he was chatting online and asked me a political question but when i answered it he cut me off stating "yeah, yeah i got it" ...this happens often, it's almost as if he doesn't respect my opinion or the knowledge i have about certain subjects (he's only this way with me, with his friends he's all ears like what they say is gold)...friday night he called me and i didn't hear the phone which he then left a nasty message assuming i was ignoring him...ok saturday, i became sick with i guess a serious cold or flu he brought me some soup which i didn't have the energy to eat so then he comments " eat the damn soup if i wasn't trying to take care of you, you would be bitching" ...feeling is ill as i was i didn't comment i just went back to sleep...so he tried again a few hours later with the same attitude so again i didn't respond...he left at 5pm and didn't come home until 2am...ok well today he left around 11am called me and asked if i needed anything i asked for ice cream for my throat he stated he didn't feel like stopping so i said ok and hung up ...well he got back around 5pm with the ice cream and then complained about the garbage can beside the bed asked if i'll move it with a nasty tone...well i'm literally sick and tired...this happens about 4day each month almost as if he's going through pms which is much more severe than mine...i need some opinions on what to do...i've tried speaking to him about this several times and he changes but he always go back to his old ways

I'm not trying to pull the race card out yet again, but it seems that republicans on these blogs are crediting Obama's victory to him being African American (bi-racial as many want to identify him).

At republican rallies, McCain was booed...So if the republican party didn't find him to be a worthy candidate why should I?

I've been on several blogs were the question or the joke is about Obama putting his face on American dollars (yahoo included). Why has this never been an issue in past presidential elections? Some republicans feel the need to continuously emphasize that his color isn't the issue at hand but then underhandedly make racial remarks, Why?

I'm not naive. I'm aware that some are voting for and against him because of his race. However, why destroy his credibility as a worthy candidate.

I noticed something was wrong when i went to take him on his morning walk. He wasn't wagging his tail which he always does, he walked down the stairs extremely slow, once he got outside he didnt run around he used the bathroom and went back to the stairs to go back inside. Then when he got inside he just layed down he wouldnt jumb up on the sofa nor did he follow me from room to room as usual. History, he has all his shots, i have him on the heart worm protection mthly, he's 3yrs old. Last week i noticed him scratching alot so i checked him found he had flees so i gave him a hair cut and a bath. There weren't many so i thought i took care of that. So back to today, he's very warm and is trembling when standing, his nose isn't dry but he keeps twitching his ears which is unusual. What can be wrong with him when i called the vet they told me to bring him in but i can't until after 7pm....Please help me he's never been sick before.
