I need an opinion from one of our lawyers here. I recently passed the 1 year mark where I work, it is a Native American tribe. I was sent a memo about a mandatory 401K meeting, 2 days before the meeting. The meeting was scheduled for my day off, and I had made other appointments for that day. I called the HR department the day I received the memo, told them I could not attend the meeting, and that I was not interested in the plan anyway. I was told by the secretary that they would send the paperwork to...

We need to Freep Maureen Dowd bigtime. In her latest "editorial" she compares "The Passion of The Christ" to Bush's ban on Gay marriage, and accuses both Mr. Gibson and President Bush of "Wallowing in sanctity." Here is what she said about the movie. "The movies's message, as Jesus says, is that you must love not only those who love you, but more importantly those who hate you. So presumably you should come out of the theater suffused with charity toward your fellow man. But this is a Mel Gibson film, so you come out wanting to kick somebody's teeth...

I am not a writer by trade, nor by design, so please bear with me if this isn't as well written and regular posters. I have just returned from seeing "The Passion of the Christ," and felt I must relate what I saw. This movie is undescribable. I have been a Christian for about 6 years, and had always known what the gopels were about. I knew Jesus was beaten and crucified, but I never could grasp the reality of it until I saw this movie. This movie is not about hating the Jews for what they did to our...

I recieved this in an email. Thought I would pass it on as food for thought. -------------------------------------------------------- "One way or the other, we are determined to deny Iraq the capacity to develop weapons of mass destruction and the missiles to deliver them. That is our bottom line." - President Clinton, Feb. 4, 1998 "If Saddam rejects peace and we have to use force, our purpose is clear. We want to seriously diminish the threat posed by Iraq's weapons of mass destruction program." - President Clinton, Feb. 17, 1998 "Iraq is a long way from [the USA], but what happens there...

Diplomacy I know, it is probably old, and maybe already posted, flame away if you want, it is still funny. So click the link and enjoy.

I received the following in an e-mail passed on to me at work, I thought it was worth sharing.It is in it's original form, exactly as I recieved it, with the exception of some HTML editing.

Judgment Day O'Connor I'm sorry I haven't been able to write to you in the past couple of weeks. My mom became ill and had to have surgery. Everything went well and she is now recovering. My sisters and I are blessed to have our parents, nearing 80, still with us. Meanwhile, I guess some sort of overthrow is taking place right here in the good ol' U.S. of A. I knew the U.S. Supreme Court was dominated by reactionaries and conservatives. But, honestly -- I never, ever, believed it was... crooked. Until now. This Court appears ready to install ...

BUSH IS PRESIDENT!!!!!

CNN Just called Iowa for Gore.

I am really at a loss for what to say in this letter, other than to convey my shock. Let's get down to business: If my memory serves me correctly, Ms. HIllary Rodham Clinton wants to undermine liberty in the name of liberty. What's wrong with that? What's wrong is Ms. Clinton's gossamer grasp of reality. It should be stressed that the space remaining in this letter will not suffice even to enumerate the ways in which she has tried to reduce human beings and many other living organisms to engineered products and mere cogs in the social machine. This ...

I would like to take this opportunity to reach out for things with permanence, things beyond wealth and comfort and pleasure, things that have real meaning. Let me begin by saying that the first response to this from V.P. Al Gore, Jr.'s cronies is perhaps that V.P. Gore is a model citizen. Wrong. Just glance at the facts: V.P. Gore thinks that we should all bear the brunt of his actions. Of course, thinking so doesn't make it so. He is like a broken record, using the same tired cliches about family and education and safer streets, yet his demands ...

When You Care Enough To Lose The Very BestSometimes gun owners are surprised to find out who their enemies are. But in Missouri, self-defense advocates got the message when they learned that greeting card company Hallmark, and communications giant Sprint helped fund the campaign that derailed legal concealed carry in the Show Me State. Missouri Second Amendment advocates are urging fellow firearm owners to boycott the firms.

Some Startling Statistics ... Number of physicians in the US 700,000 Accidental deaths caused by physicians per year 120,000 Accidental deaths per physician 0.171 Number of gun owners in the US 80,000,000 Number of accidental gun deaths per year (all age groups) 1,500 Accidental deaths per gun owner 0.0000188 Therefore, doctors are approximately 9,000 times more dangerous than gun owners.

For all you attornies out there, In light of the recent and "coincidental" break down of the NICS, did I interpret this section of USC correctly? 18 USC §922(t)(5) * Note: Paragraph (1), referred to below, is the NICS check. If the licensee knowingly transfers a firearm to such other person and knowingly fails to comply with paragraph (1) of this subsection with respect to the transfer and, at the time such other person most recently proposed the transfer, the national instant criminal background check system was operating and information was available to the system demonstrating that receipt of a ...

SAN DIEGO -- First, Tinky Winky was taking heat. Now, the children's character is accused of packing heat. The Teletubbies TV show figure, once characterized by the Rev. Jerry Falwell as a gay role model, is again causing a stir because a local mom and at least a few others around the country say a talking version of the fuzzy purple character is uttering gun threats. Renée Taylor of Oceanside became concerned this week after giving her daughter Maya a set of two talking Teletubbies -- Tinky Winky and Po -- for her second birthday. She noted that she ...

Here is the same petition used by the Million Moms March bunch of gun grabbers. It was also posted on FR a couple days ago. I included the url so you could see that it is Levi who supports this.

Transcript Of The "Assault On Times Square" Video This video was possibly made as a training tool to show members of a squad of soldiers exactly where they will need to be during they're "mission" in Times Square 12/31/99. A video was made because showing up in Times Square with bunch of soldiers would raise to many questions. The video was then distributed, on base, to the men who are to participate in the mission. It was consequently given to a brother of one of the soldiers, who then made a webpage [www.crowdedtheater.com] and released the video on the internet. ...
