This place is the Health E Station in the Kroger Shopping Center.

S. 761, the America COMPETES Act, increases the nation’s investment in basic and innovative research; strengthens educational opportunities in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics from elementary through graduate school; and develops the infrastructure needed to enhance innovation and competitiveness in the United States.

For years I have applauded the fact that the government has taken an active part in making dead beat dads pay up. I felt the generation of children raised below the poverty line because fathers only paid child support if the wanted to, had grown up and gotten their revenge. Now I'm not so sure. The law use to be the children got 20% of the father's salery. This was also a good form of birth control for men, and a reason not to abuse parenthood. d.smith700: Screen NamesMany years ago "letters to the editor" did not require a real name and address to post them. Richard Hobbs: The Git Real Guide to BloggingI've read so many of your posts over the last year or so, and most I find to be pot stirrers. You stir the pot of discussion and encourage others to post in reply. Thats good, in that it encourages debate, but you often leave true debate behind and run off into your diatribes when certain political contests are brought up. You are certainly entitled to complain openly with your opinions, but your opinion is of little value when its cloaked from what your true biases are.

Many around the world and here at home looked to this weekend's Austrailian elections as a referendum and a foreshadowing of what to expect in the US next year. |
