I think our country, the USA, has so much 'sickness' inside of it that we should get it a good MD. Do you agree and why? A brief list of the maladies within our country follows:

1. Deficit growing

2. Illegal war in Iraq

3. Threats for another illegal war on Iran = greater deficit spending

4. Pollution

5. Industry not able to fund itself to stay in business in USA

6. Industry faced with too many ecology problems to operate in USA

7. Industry has to pay too many expenses to conform with EPA before it can begin to build

8. Taxation, increases

9. Illegal aliens haven't been deported

10. Non-existent border control fence that congress allotted tax money to be built

11. Border control sent to fight in Iraq

12. Illegal aliens bringing in members of Al quaeda

13. Heroin addicts shooting up with heroin made by terrorists to fund their cause against us in Afganistan, getting it into USA

14. School children passing out of HS with less than 5th grade reading level

My friend bought a new external hard drive that has greater space than does her computer's C:\ drive to mirror image ALL the contents (including programs) her entire C:\ drive to so that if it crashes, she can do a simple reinstall from the mirror image.

She knows that backup is only for data. She thinks that Norton Ghost 12.0 will IMAGE her C:\ drive, but Norton won't help her & she just paid for both the ext. HD and Ghost 12.0.

The ext. HD had FAT32 file system, but her C:\ drive is NTFS. She uses Windows XP Pro. She has so many programs & data files, but does not know how to do the first image because Norton Ghost 12.0 began to copy everything onto the FAT32 external HD, so, it was all messed up.

Should she format the external HD? How to get it to have a NTFS file system? Then what should she do to properly image her hard drive, then rewrite it on a monthly basis? Should she also do backups? How should she handle this?

What is a partition? What is "copy" vs. "image" vs. "bkup?

My boyfriend said that he wants to take me up in the air over the pastures in our community. I don't know whether we should do this. I mean, wouldn't we be contributing to global warming?

I'm really wondering if we should do this. Does anyone here know the ratio of the greenhouse gases emitted by burning the fuel for a hot air ballon ride as opposed to the total amount of greenhouse gases that are produced when he takes me for a ride in his convertible?

He even said that he thinks we should get married in a hot air balloon, but it frightens me, because I am worried about the carbon footprint that we would leave behind us when we take our wedding vows.

What should I tell him?

which countries in the middle east do you think is a republic? why?

which countries in the middle east do you think is a democracy? why?

which countries in the middle east do you think is has a differently-named sort of government, and what is it called? why?

is a "theocracy" a political term?

when did these countries begin to practice that type of government and why did they?

do you think that iraq will operate as a democracy someday? when do you think that would happen and why?

why do you think that women are not treated as equals in middle eastern countries?

do you believe that any of those countries are on the verge of starting to treat them equally, then, how would they, what would they do to treat women as equal members of society?

why do they not do so now?

does any middle eastern country NOT hate jews? (not israel/zion, but jewish people)...? why?

based on his behavior in the past, one day thumbing his nose at a UN inspection of iran's use of nuclear power, the next day, welcoming in the UN for inspection, the next day, telling the UN that 23 inspectors were not welcome but not specifying who wasn't welcome, don't you think that this president of iran, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, is a rather sneaky and clever sort of a guy? i do.

all evidence proves that the british soldiers taken into captivity in iran had NOT strayed into the waters of iran. that is shown not only by the ship's gps system that told the captain exactly where they were, but by actual satellite pictures! that ship was outside of iranian waters as a fact!

therefore, for the two reasons stated above, i think that Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, in his study of american politics, the american people, and the american press, pulled a real fast one on us and that we are not paying any attention to it.

do you think as i do that maybe he engineered taking the brits as a TBC:

i forgot where i picked this up (lately), but it is a direct quote from a marine who i hope got home okay. i want to know, after you read this, what you think.

do you think that this marine is not justified in his actions?

do you now believe that all is fine and good in iraq, meaning that we have no need to be there anymore?

do you think that if we leave iraq that the insurgents will no longer perform the misdeeds that they do now?

do you think that these insurgents have any respect whatsoever even for the religious beliefs that they claim spur them on to kill their neighbor, and from MOSQUES at that?

do you think that this marine has good reason for performing the acts that he does?

should fundamentalist islamics be ignored while they think up more ways to destroy us?

A warrior will understand this, while a liberal probably will not...and a lawyer looking for a higher adjusted gross income will condemn it......

From a Marine who been there before.

who amongst the proposed presidential candidates do you think will make the best president in these times of trouble? why?

considering how many folks hate bush, why would x, y or z be a better president in the future just because s/he would pull our troops out of iraq?

we were brutally, miserably attacked on 9.11.2001!

which candidate can put this country into order, reduce problems with illegal aliens, make america a proud nation of inventive, productive citizens that was in the past, a country of workers that pay taxes, but who also can maintain a decent, reputable way of living?

and which of these candidates is not going to give so much attention to THE BOTTOM LINE that the big businesses want so much; rather, to those that put our own people to work?

which one is best suited to be chief of the armed forces, utilizing them to PROTECT our country, the land of the free?

why do you want x, y, or z to be president?

what does magmetism do in the middle of the earth? what does magnetic pull or push do to the atmosphere? i heard that if we lived on mars, we'd be at risk of developing cancers because there is no magnetic field around mars that would protect us against radiation when the sun flared.

i'd like the most elaborate of answers, with examples and links that would show me drawings, for example, so that i can understand this.

also:

does gravity have anything to do with the protection of a planet from radiation? how so?

does magnetism inside of a planet have anything to do with gravity? how? why?

I want to learn how the TV show, 24, began. Fox.com doesn't give me a means to learn who the key characters were in the beginning, what they did, and how the entire story began. For example, I have no idea what evil Jack's father did with his company, and how Jack's brother tied into it, or the evil people it did ?what? business with--i.e., I don't understand many tie ins that I should know. Do you know of websites that I can look at to find out how this good show evolved?

now that the man who told us that he "invented the internet" as well as publicly stated that "cigarette smoke contributes to global warming," i.e., al gore, has won the oscar for his documentary called "an inconvenient truth," do you think that you'd vote for him in 2008? do you think that you'd vote for him the way he looks (overweight) now, or only if he lost 50+ lbs. so that he'd look glamourous enough to be in his press conferences on tv?

i have to say here that i am old enough to know that before JFK, it really didn't matter to the american public what a president looked like.

FDR did wonders for our country when he was the president after poor herbert hoover, who just happened to walk into the white house at the time that the depression was going to hit, and was blamed for the depression.

under what conditions would you vote for al gore to be our president in 2008? you would/would not vote for him based on his weight? why else might you vote for gore?
