If you like the whole Bill of Rights, you might consider supporting
more than just the ACLU -- they're not too keen on item #2 and they
really only pay lip service to #10. ;-)

I think maybe the yahooer is just a fast-talker who can say all that
without pausing to take a breath. If so, it would never occur to
her to artificially insert punctuation.

Try re-reading it with that thought in mind, to fully appreciate the
image conjured up.

Yes you can sue. This looks like one of those spam emails where
are just a bunch of random phrases put together. What is "the cill
from the old root canal". The dentist is right, the infection will
stop. The patient might be dead but the infection will stop.

There are some bad dentists out there no doubt but maybe your
story isn't exactly straight either. I was once on a jury that
awarded about 20k for bad dental work.

I know I got mad the first time my dentist told me they'd have to
redo a root canal. I thought that meant the tooth was dead but
it's happened to my wife as well.

Yes, you have rights. You can sue anyone for anything, even if
they didn't do anything wrong. You will need a lawyer.

I'd sue for $67M plus a new pair of pants.

I understand there may be an unemployed judge/lawyer in the DC area
looking for such cases.

WASHINGTON - President Bush announced on Thursday a plan to freeze
interest rates for five years for hundreds of thousands of strapped
homeowners whose mortgages are scheduled to rise in the coming months.

"There is no perfect solution," he said. "The homeowners deserve our
help. The steps I've outlined today are a sensible response to a
serious challenge."

Seeking to counter criticism he is violating his free-market
principles, Bush said the private-sector plan does not represent the
imposition of a government solution to the mortgage crisis.

"We should not bail out lenders, real estate speculators or those who
made the reckless decision to buy a home they knew they could not
afford," he said.

Bush said that 1.2 million people could be eligible for help under the
plan, developed in negotiations with the mortgage industry led by
Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson. But only a small fraction of that
number will be subject to the rate freeze. Others would get assistance
in refinancing with their lenders and moving into loans secured by the
Federal Housing Administration, Bush said.

And the help only comes to those who ask for it, he said. Thousands of
borrowers who are falling behind on their payments have been sent
letters about the options, and Bush also urged people to call a new
hot line: 1-888-995-HOPE.

Pig ignorant lie. We had a massive trade balance in our favor
with Japan and its the mining exports that produced that.

The immense exports of iron ore, coal, aluminium, natural gas,
etc etc etc were going mostly to Japan and still mostly do.

Pig ignorant lie. And we were actually discussing where chinese coming out of
university end up employment wise, not how the world trade system works anyway.

Taint gunna happen with iron ore, coal, natural gas, uranium, copper etc etc etc.

Another pig ignorant lie.

Thanks for that completely superfluous proof that you have never ever had a clue
about the basics of what mining is about or who works in those industrys here either.

Use the time you spend on these posts, to learn how to spell. BY
spelling this way, people (viewers) will not take your posts

Ive been with Uliana Abramova for the past 2 years, and currently we
are living together. ALL the posts in regards to her name are nothing
BUT LIES, produced by my ex-wife or her "Caring" friends.

IM 33 years old, have a business (employing 5 people), and 2 college
degrees. Do you really thing a 22 year old girl, can mislead me and
lure me into a marriage. Everything I do, I do myself with clear mind
and conscience. I never loved my wife and was cheating on her way
before I meat Uliana. I was looking for a reason to get out of
marriage for the past 4 years, since the marriage was not a happy one
to begin with. Better yet, the only reason I got married, is because
my ex wife got pregnant.

So if you think Uliana broke the family, you are wrong. I BROKE the
family. Not a silly 22 year old girl. She was just an excuse for me to
leave. Why are u passing judgments, on someone u don't even know, or
you know only the half of the story or seen only one side of the

Don't be a coward, and if you u want to discuss this like a man, call

The best-kept secret: Enforcement actually works
By ERNEST ISTOOK
The Heritage Foundation

Once again, the states are rebelling against Washington.

Fed up with dithering in D.C., states are proving that enforcement
works. Enforcement can not only prevent illegal immigration but
actually reverse it.

Illegal immigrants by the tens of thousands are leaving states that
have adopted tough new laws -- Colorado, Georgia, Arizona and now
Oklahoma. Local efforts are being launched too quickly to count,
involving more than 100 communities so far.

When denied jobs or public benefits, many illegals return to Mexico.
Others move within the U.S. to areas with local amnesty policies.

Left-leaning groups are on the move, too, flocking to the courts in
efforts to block state and local enforcement. Only Congress is
standing still -- except for backsliding efforts to push more back-
door amnesty.

The details of the state and local laws vary, but the impact is
consistent. Typically, they deny public benefits to illegal immigrants
and try to make sure that employers don't hire them.

Oklahoma's law kicked in Thursday. Hispanic leaders claim that 25,000
illegal persons departed the Sooner State before the measure went into
effect. Businesses that catered to them say their sales are down 20
percent. They're backing a lawsuit challenging the new crackdown.

But the crackdown is a gain for taxpayers. Estimates show that illegal
immigrants cost Oklahoma taxpayers $200 million a year, mostly for
education and healthcare.

Arizona's new employer sanctions don't start until Jan. 1. A half
million undocumented people supposedly are awaiting the outcome of
court challenges, but The Arizona Republic still reports the
outmigration already tops 100 per day.

Because of Georgia's new law, businesses with an illegal-alien
customer base have seen sales drop as much as 40 percent. And money
wired from Georgia to Mexico and Central America declined. Similar
sales drops are reported elsewhere.

Colorado supplemented its new laws with a special detachment of state
troopers. An Aug. 31 report to the governor said the first month's
results "exceed anyone's expectations," catching 150 illegal
immigrants plus those who smuggle them.

State legislators this year introduced some 1,400 immigrant-related
bills, and 182 became law. Local ordinances were proposed or adopted
in 104 cities and counties.

Bucking the trend is Illinois, which passed a law prohibiting
employers from using a federal database to screen out illegal
immigrants. That's where the litigation trend cuts both ways: The
Department of Homeland Security is suing Illinois to force it to
comply, saying the state can't pick and choose which federal laws to
obey.

Current federal enforcement remains limited, focused on illegals who
have committed violent crimes but not on illegal immigration
generally.

So-called sanctuary/amnesty cities are clearly violating federal law,
as New York City learned from a U.S. Supreme Court ruling in 2000.
It's time for the feds to use that precedent and take other cities and
state scofflaws to court.

The battleground is swiftly shifting into court, where activist judges
are eager to side with border violators. One judge blocked federal
officials from notifying millions of employers that their workers may
be using false Social Security numbers. Hazleton, Pa., had its local
ordinance struck down. More lawsuits are pending. Enforcement works,
but liberals want to stifle it before people realize that.

The big claim is that immigration is solely a federal issue. If
activist judges block state and local enforcement, the public reaction
could rival the anger over decisions about abortion and forced busing.

But there's a difference this time: Those controversial rulings
claimed that the Constitution barred action by any level of
government.

By demonstrating that enforcement works, state and local governments
are clarifying the issues, and tens of thousands of illegal immigrants
are self-deporting. The public outcry that defeated the amnesty bill
this spring has found a new outlet, keeping the heat on Washington all
the way into the 2008 elections.
Ernest Istook is a distinguished fellow at the Heritage Foundation. He
served 14 years as a Republican congressman from Oklahoma.

Are You Ready for a 'Violent Illegal Alien Criminal Empowerment Act'?

Peter Gadiel

I've recently written two columns in FSM illustrating that the tide of
battle has shifted against those who support illegal immigration and
open borders. In October I described how, through their increasingly
violent behavior and falsehoods, the members of the Open Borders Lobby
(OBL) are revealing that they themselves recognize this fact. In
November I wrote of the latest of this year's string of major
victories over the OBL: New York Governor Eliot Spitzer's humiliating
defeat of his scheme to issue driver's licenses to illegal aliens.

Since the publication of those columns there have been additional
developments which confirm the themes of these columns but which
simultaneously provide warning that the war is far from over.

The inability of Gov. Spitzer to implement his illegal alien licensing
plan was a critical defeat for the OBL. It was a certainty that
whichever side won, there would be significant impact on other
states. If the open borders extremists had succeeded in New York many
other states would have fallen, but because national security concerns
carried the day, the influence has instead been beneficial.

The pro-illegal immigration extremists understand the importance of
what occurred. On November 16, the day after Spitzer surrendered, the
Putnam (NY) Journal-News quoted Robin Bikkal, immigration attorney and
illegal alien profiteer, admitting: "It's very painful. It's a
disaster. The thing is, I think we could have been leaders in this
whole process. Now I think everybody's going to be just dug into their
positions." Translation: "Had Spitzer succeeded in implementing his
scheme, many other states would soon be licensing illegal aliens;
instead the movement to expand the licensing of illegals to other
states is all but dead."

Even as Bikkal spoke, proof of the accuracy of his prediction was
being provided by Oregon's Democratic Gov. Ted Kulongoski. Oregon is
one of the seven states that still issue licenses to illegal aliens
and the unknown terrorists and violent felons among them. On the very
day that Spitzer put up the white flag, but presumably before he did
so, Kulongoski issued a statement reaffirming his longstanding support
for licensing illegals, because he said 'it saves lives if they go
through the licensing process.' But the very next day, Mr. Kulongoski
issued an executive order to "dramatically tighten" [italics added]
restrictions on Oregon driver's licenses and make Oregon "a de facto
legal presence state." The reason, said his spokeswoman, was because
"[t]here is an increasing concern, based on ongoing investigations,
that Oregon is becoming a 'safe haven' for unlawfully obtaining
identification."

There can be only two possible explanations for Gov. Kulongoski's
astonishing, but welcome, reversal. Either: 1. Gov. Kulongoski was
completely ignorant of the "concern based on ongoing investigations"
on November 15 and, within the space of one day, learned of the
threat, reversed course based on this new knowledge and issued an
executive order or: 2. What happened to Eliot Spitzer persuaded
Mr. Kulongoski to switch sides for political reasons.

Common sense and immigration lawyer Bikkal's comment provide
confirmation that it wasn't newly discovered concern for America's
safety that motivated Oregon's governor; it was newly discovered
concern for his own political future.

Remember too, that earlier this year both Tennessee and North Carolina
ended their practice of licensing illegals because the result had been
fraud, corruption and highway deaths; in the Illinois Legislature, a
bill to give "driving certificates" to illegals has, so far, been
stopped; and Representative Vito Fossella of New York City has
introduced legislation in Congress to prohibit issuance of licenses to
illegals anywhere in the United States. Taken together, we see that,
on the driver's license front, the illegal alien lobby has taken a
severe beating.

Driver's licenses were just one aspect of the OBL's problems. Also
defeated were the Bush-Kennedy Comprehensive Immigration bill and the
so-called "Dream Act" both of which would have given amnesty to
millions of illegals and would give them in-state college tuition
rates. Arizona and Oklahoma are implementing strong anti-illegal
immigration measures statewide. Over 1500 anti-illegal immigration
bills have been introduced in legislatures in fifty states, with
passage of almost 250 in 46 states.

Despite the favorable trend, the madness in support of illegal
immigration continues to express itself and serves to warn us of the
fanaticism of the OBL and the continuing threat. Consider for example
a bill which Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee has introduced in the
Congress. That bill, H.R. 750, includes an amnesty for millions of
illegals which is far broader than previous ones. She would allow
illegal aliens who have been convicted of crimes of violence and
sentenced to up to five years in prison to apply for amnesty (past
amnesties have limited eligibility to criminals who have been
sentenced 'only' up to one year's imprisonment). Her bill would
specifically allow states to prohibit state and local police from
cooperating with federal government enforcement on immigration law. It
would also repeal the current provision in federal law (Section 287g)
which allows the Attorney General to enter into agreements with states
and localities which deputizes their police to enforce immigration
law.

Jackson Lee's bill is nothing less than a 'Violent Illegal Alien
Criminal Empowerment Act' and though it is unlikely to get anywhere in
the Congress, it does illustrate three facts about illegal alien
lobbyists: they do not recognize any moral obligation to safeguard the
welfare of our country or its citizens; they are extremists; and they
are not giving up.

My October column addressed another indicator of our success over the
OBL: that their increasingly vicious and dishonest rhetoric indicates
a realization that their victory is no longer assured. Since then,
they have continued to provide us with even more of this.

For example, in November a group calling itself "Christians for
Comprehensive Immigration Reform" issued a pronunciamento chock full
of hateful language which, quite ironically, denounced anyone who
opposes illegal immigration of being "deeply rooted in hate." Using
distortions, lies, and quotes out of context, this group alleges that
those who oppose illegal immigration are "virulently anti-immigrant
and anti-Hispanic," "xenophobes," "purveyors of hate," fear mongers,
and un-Christian. We are accused of being linked with, and no
different from, Ku Klux Klansmen and neo-Nazis.

It is apparent that for these "Christians" the technique of arousing
hatred for we who disagree with them, by lying about the facts and
smearing our characters, is an acceptable means of elevating the tone
of the debate and showing "Christian tolerance" for different
opinions.

It is not worth analyzing in depth a document which, while ostensibly
issued for the purpose of promoting peace and love, itself relies on
the most hateful techniques of propagandists. However, it is worth
noting that much of the "proof" cited in the document is drawn from
sources such as The National Council of La Raza (its motto: "Inside
the race, everything; outside the race, nothing); open borders
profiteer Frank Sharry of the National Immigration Forum; and others
who utilize lists of "hate groups" to solicit funds.

It should also be noted that "Christians for Comprehensive
Immigration" describes itself as being in partnership with numerous
far left, pro-illegal alien lobby groups including: Move On, Mother
Jones, Center for American Progress, Working Assets, United for a Fair
Economy and others of that ilk.

In short, Christians for Comprehensive Immigration Reform is nothing
more than one more element of the illegal alien lobby. As such it is
gratifying to see that they confirm, via their vitriolic language,
that their cause is losing.

So, let those of us who understand the very real dangers of unsecured
borders and unrestricted illegal immigration enjoy our victories. Let
us enjoy the spectacle of our opponents resorting to increasingly
vicious rhetoric and behavior as their claims are ever more widely
rejected by the American people. But, let us also not ignore that a
fanaticism confirmed by the events of November will not soon be
stopped.

We can celebrate our victories but cannot afford to stop fighting.

Rents have not caught up to the house price
runup this decade, but is the possible they may
and you may see huge rent increases.
This appears to be happening in the San Francisco
and Los Angeles areas now.
The long term rental price is approximately the
annual pruchase carrying cost plus a landlord
profit (often from the tax breaks).
So renters, dont count your chickens ...

you're quibbling over a small portion of a larger equation, if there
is no cash flow from owning the property there is little reason to
invest in or buy that property in the first place, people do not
invest hoping to profit from the tax advantages, they invest for ROI ,
the tax advantages are just part of the reasons for making the initial
investment

Are trying to suggest the tax advantages are not a significant part of
the ROI?

Try figuring such an ROI without the tax advantages.

Suppose I own a condo, but do not quite have enough deductions to exceed
the standard deduction. I'm paying the full price of interest,
property taxes & maintenance.

Second example - I rent from Joe. He has three condos & thus has more
than enough to itemize, realizing a good 35% discount on interest,
property taxes & maintenance. Granted Joe will have to pay 35% taxes on
his gain, but his net cost will still be lower than mine. Meanwhile,
I'm enjoying a full standard deduction.

No. Your standard deduction includes an allowance for common
expenses, such as mortgage interest and property taxes. How much is
determined by the IRS.

And paying your portion of Joe's interest, property taxes and
maintenance through your rent.
