The press should only be able to publish the name and photo of a person once they have been convicted.
If they are guilty, let the court find them guilty.
If they are not, let the court find them not. |

First, there was a report out a while ago that found the number of sunspots over the last half century was on a general upward trend and that sunspots were higher than the 11 year maximum they tend to follow. Sunspots increase the sun's out... |

adahen adahen: I just think we could use natural "energy" like water for one,not radioactive materials like nuclear.
Pray tell, what is so bad about nuclear energy?
Personally, I think we should replace every coal fired power plant in the country with a nuclear plant. (see pic) |

They can't do that either. Such things are counted as contributions too and must be recorded and filed with the govornment. |

sandorski sandorski: $300,000 wasted
Not to the economy. The only wasted money in a free market is money that goes unspent or uninvested (which is just another way of saying 'unspent'). Moving money is productive money. |
