I am a 72 year old naturalized citizen brought up to respect my fellow man and to believe that he or she had just as much right on earth as I regardless of color, race or religion. I was born into poverty and for the most part never advanced much. I'm, as you could guess a Democrat because I believe in what is good for the whole of the country and not for the greedy rich that are pretty much only concerned for their like and care little about the people below them. I see what is happening to this country and unless we start giving it more attention than what our government is doing than we are about to see a tremendous change in our freedom and lifestyle. I have lived through the biggest change in our society and living conditions than any other generation and it gives me license to say this. We need to come together before we lose it all.
How to stretch a shrunken convertible auto top?
The top is on a 1988 Alfa Romeo Graduate Spider. It is the original cloth top. Although the latch engages to the windshield connector there is still not enough to get leverage on the latch.

3 AnswersLand Phones1 decade agoDo you think that Hitler's killing people outright is worse than hospitals putting the very sick in the street?
I recently watched Michael Moore's movie "Sicko" and saw that a hospital put a woman, still in her hospital gown, into a cab because she was uninsured and was dropped off in the street unaware where she was.
6 AnswersOther - Society & Culture1 decade agoCan you believe that BP has no idea how much oil is being pushed up on its' own?
They want us to believe that when that oil platform was in operation that they had no idea how much flowed out in any given period. I find that hard to believe. Just in layman thinking I would find that to be a necessary ingredient for formulating certain operations. What do you think?
4 AnswersCurrent Events1 decade agoWhy did I lose all compression in my 1965 Volvo engine when I blew the head gasket?
My son, a good mechanic, installed a new head gasket and valve cover gasket, we changed the oil and filter and when finished we tried to start it but only heard the sound of the starter not the engine sounds. We pulled a plug and there was no compression...the fan turned as well as the distributor rotor but the distributor body now turns is not locked on. Opened the oil filler cap and the rocker arms are moving. This is a gear driven not a timing chain. I'm looking for an experienced mechanics response not opinions.
3 AnswersMaintenance & Repairs1 decade agoHow can I disagree with the best answer when I see that it is biased politically?
1vote is given and it is considered the best answer when it definitely shows that it was against the Democratic party. And how much time do I have to cast a vote before it is voted the best answer by Answers.
14 AnswersPolitics1 decade agoWho are the hypocrites in our government?
Who are the legislatures that support pro life (no abortions) and decline basic health assurance for the same because health insurance has to be for profit? Do they also embrace and glorify Jesus Christ on Sunday knowing that Jesus fed the multitudes, tore down the thieving merchants in their market place and walked among the lepers to cure them and leave them without coins jingling in His pockets.
Is hypocrisy alive and well?
10 AnswersOther - Politics & Government1 decade agoHave the banking laws changed on credit cards ?
It was at one time that a bank could not become insurer, endorser or guarantor and could not extend or create credit...has that changed?
2 AnswersCredit1 decade agoI have a 1988 Alfa Graduate Spider that after I drive it for a short time doing errands I come back and it?
wont start. It only happens during warm weather and not every time. Is this a thermal switch problem somewhere. I drove it all winter in Albuquerque, New Mexico, USA and I never had this problem. Sometimes I have to wait quite awhile for it to restart. Help it is quite frustrating.
2 AnswersAlfa Romeo1 decade agoWhy did the bank close my credit card account? I have payed over minimum on my account for over 4 years.?
They claimed that Experian, the credit reporting agency claimed that my income/debt ratio was the cause for such action. Will this hurt my credit rating? Will this cause my interest of 7.9% to raise? I have never defaulted on payment or was late.
4 AnswersCredit1 decade agoAnyone had the experience of losing 1st and 5th gear on an 1988 Alfa Romeo Spider?
I know that it needs a new tranny mount...is that part of the cause or is it in the transmission.
2 AnswersAlfa Romeo1 decade agoWhy is it considered fascist or socialistic if we want everyone to have health insurance?
We live in a democratic free society. There is no reason that the richest producing nation should not provide health protection for the citizens that keep this country moving.
I don't see this as a socialistic issue. I see this as was covered in our Constitution that the citizens of this great country should have equal opportunity to achieve their goals and should be protected by the government.
7 AnswersCurrent Events1 decade agoDo you think they are going to such great strides in finding Steve Fosset because he is a aviation pioneer?
Or because he is a millionaire.
All the TV stations that I have seen...Net worK, CNN, MSNBC and other show as caption under their visual reports thus:
Steve Fosset...Millionaire........ Not space pioneer.
If I were him I would be insulted by that because I think he favors more about his space accomplishments than he does about the money.
But I confess we live in a money world ...Glory be damned.
2 AnswersOther - Society & Culture1 decade agoMy Alfa an 88 spider on rare occasions will not start. It will start later on with no problem. Warm or cold.?
I live in Albuquerque, NM (75 degrees in the morning) I move my car about 8 am to another spot in the parking lot.
Some mornings it will start right off and maybe the next morning it will not. Cranking off and on for about 5 to 10 minutes it will start.
Another day I was at the local flea market at about 1 PM (95 degrees) and when I came back to the car to leave it would not start after cranking about 10 minutes.
I went back to the market for about 20-30 minutes and came back to the car it still would not start after about 5 min. of cranking and then it finally started. Yesterday 8.22.07 it did not
start at 8 AM this morning 8.23.07 it started right up. ???????
6 AnswersAlfa Romeo1 decade agoHow do you feel about the White House doing the report from General Petraeus on Irag?

9 AnswersOther - Politics & Government1 decade agoI recently received a collection notice for funds that I owed that are over 12 years old How do I solve this?
This came from an attorney representing a credit card company demanding over $6000. I knew that there had been a figure of $3300 at the time. But this a figure that I don't agree with.
I was forced out of work at the time and I couldn't even pay the minimum payment so finally the bills quit coming in.
Shortly thereafter I retired and only made less the $600 a month. This amount could only provide me with the necessities
of existence. This puts me in a dilemma.
After a period of time my credit was reestablished
I pay on 2 credit cards now and pay more than the minimum each month.
But this attorney threatens my credit rating if I don't start to pay up. I have 30 days and counting to answer his letter..
I would appreciate some information from financial people or attorney's that may provide a way to resolve this.
I have heard of programs that can wipe out accounts like this.
I have also heard that it is illegal for banks to extend their credit
through Credit Cards!!!
6 AnswersCredit1 decade agoHow do you feel about the Surgeon Generals report on suppressing his reports?
Dr. Richard Carmona who was Surgeon General for the Bush administration between 2002-2006 reported that he was suppressed in reporting the scientific facts about stem cell research, emergency contraception, second hand smoke, sex education, mental and global health and other important issues, by Bush appointees, for political reasons.
4 AnswersLaw & Ethics1 decade agoIs Tony Snow (Bush's mouthpiece) giving us a "snow job"?
When ever I see Tony Snow I am guaranteed to get a cover up of what is really going on (a snow job). Snow covers up the landscape. And Tony covers up the administrations actions.
