Why does Yahoo support the Pakistan Relief?
I use Yahoo for most all of my web searches and news and I am disturbed that they have a banner up there supporting the relief efforts in Pakistan. I say as long as Pakistan is harboring Bin Laden then they should not receive a penny from America or its cititzens. Any American giving to this effort should be tossed out on their @zz. I can hear the whining now "this help is for the people of Pakistan not the government" I say... you want our help... you help us first!!! Or.. you can die just like the thousands he killed here! whats more important to you Pakistan... that cold blooded killer or aid to help with the saving of lives?

I have always been told that when registering your dog that the name must contain a portion of the dogs father and mothers names. Is this the case with all breeds or just certain breeds? or not at all?

2 AnswersOther - Pets1 decade agoCan a Government Run Health Care Work?
Has our government taken over anything and made it profitable?
The U.S. Postal Service was established in 1775 - you have had 234 years to get it right; it is broke.
Social Security was established in 1935 - you have had 74 years to get it right; it is broke.
Fannie Mae was established in 1938 - you have had 71 years to get it right; it is broke..
War on Poverty started in 1964 - you have had 45 years to get it right; $1 trillion of our money is confiscated each year and transferred to "the poor"; it hasn't worked.
Medicare and Medicaid were established in 1965 - you've had 44 years to get it right; they're broke
Freddie Mac was established in 1970 - you have had 39 years to get it right; it is broke
Trillions of dollars in the massive political payoff called the TARP bill of 2009 shows NO sign of working.
And finally to set a new record:
"Cash for Clunkers" was established in 2009 and went broke in 2009! It took good dependable cars ( that were the best some people could afford ) replaced them with high priced ( people who couldn't afford to are now making payments ) mostly Japanese models so a good percentage of the profits, from the sales, went out of the country. And lastly, the American taxpayers are now going to be dinged with paying for yet 3 billion more dollars of our governments experiments to make our wallets even thinner. And as the cars are being destroyed, the parts that could have been salvaged off them for cheaper repairs to other cars are gone as well.
So with a perfect 100% failure rate and a record that proves that "services" you shove down our throats are failing faster and faster, you want Americans to believe you can be trusted with a government-run health care system? 15% of our economy?
I for one think your a complete idiot to believe the Government can make our health system better? But then... I am just one man.

By Jerry McConnell Tuesday, September 1, 2009
This piece is not the product of a distorted imagination, it is a very possible scenario that could occur in about a dozen days from now. Our position in the United States has grown very precarious due to our negligence in permitting an unqualified, unknown and untested charlatan to usurp our highest elected office as well as a majority of liberals to support him.
I am making this possibility known in the hopes that the citizens of this country will wake up to the possibilities of such a happening and be prepared for any such eventuality including resistance to it. During this period of time, we must be aware of the dangers of a man in power who lusts for more and complete power over all of the people.
IT COULD HAPPEN JUST LIKE THIS:
On September 12, 2009 a massive demonstration of American citizens opposed to the Health Care Plan and other measures favored by President Obama and liberal Democrats will and must take place in our nation’s capital, Washington, DC. The numbers could possibly exceed one million participants coming from every state in the Union.
At some point during these demonstrations, which are designed to be peaceful protests against our ever more tyrannical government, there is bound to be some sort of disorderly dissent, most likely prompted and agitated by the aggressive labor union paid thugs, but made to appear as if started by the orderly and peaceful citizens, there only to show their presence and dissatisfaction with our ruling party in power and its highly unpopular governing decisions.
Almost concurrently with any sort of disorder or altercation, as said, ignited by the paid crowd disrupters hired by the liberal administration to break up any peaceful efforts by the citizens, the President and his henchmen could immediately call for an emergency cessation of any further public demonstrations and dispersal of the people with force if necessary.
This unnecessary emergency crackdown on the peaceful citizen marchers demonstrations will also result in some sort of governmental crackdown and even possibly a dictate of Martial Law with suspension of civil rights to quell any further gatherings for an undetermined period of time, stretching beyond the national elections in 2010, causing a postponement until the Obama Administration deems it is safe to hold them. This, of course, will be a long time after any such elections should have been held.
Public gatherings of more than two persons at any given time and place will be strictly prohibited and even other gatherings of citizens in other venues such as churches, meeting halls, athletic events, or family get-togethers will be monitored by armed and in protective gear, labor union thugs to prevent any collusion or secret plans for rebellion.
Christmas and other Christian or Jewish religious holidays or days of worship will be banned until further notice. Schools will hold Islamic teaching classes in which adults will be expected to participate after children’s school hours.
All government officials will be automatically extended in their positions at the pleasure of the President. Two party Congressional protocols will be forbidden and only the new ruler’s commandments will be the order of the day for business therein.
In other words, Obama will rule himself to be the Supreme Commander of the United States until further notice and his Martial Law will prevail. The United States Constitution will be declared null and void and only the commandments and directives of the Supreme Commander will be considered and obeyed.
