Not if your goal was to be in a mixed nationality marriage before you even meet the significant other. On the other hand both my brother and sister married Americans and seem pretty happy, but they were not shopping for a American as their spouse.

If the hospital is owned by a Catholic (or Lutheran, Protestant, Muslim, Jewish, whatever) church, then it is government exempt and can pretty much chose to do anything it wants until such time as a national health care policy is created and all ownership of hospitals is ceased as assets are seized by the government.

Immunity for Telecoms or National Security?

Actually, the telecoms never broke the law. They may freely give the Government, or anyone else, any information about you they want. The Privacy Act does not apply. In fact, as long as they can claim they did not profit from the information they gave the FBI/Homeland Security, they are completely immune.

I reference the case where consumers attempted to sue Jet Blue for giving away their information (including Social Security numbers, addresses, telephone numbers, demographics like number of children, race, etc) to the FBI. The judge ruled that yes, Jet Blue did give away personal information without permission, however, there was no law forbidding Jet Blue from freely giving away that information. And, since the Federal Government did not take that information by force (they politely asked for it) they did NOT need a warrant to get the information.

So giving the Telecoms protection for giving away information for free (the same info they probably sell to private companies and individuals btw) is just stopping frivolous lawsuits and stop the waste of federal money through wasted time and expense for a case that cannot be won, due to precedent being set with the Jet Blue Case.

Remember, the Privacy Act does not apply to everything. Only very specific industries in very specific circumstances with very specific information. Everything else can be handed out like candy. Furthermore, no where in the Constitution does it state that citizens have a right to privacy. It’s implied, but not enforced nor expressly written. You have a right to protection against illegal search and seizure, but you were not illegally searched, you gave the telecoms this information freely, and it was not seized, the telecoms gave it away.

@AJ:

Two leagues seems a little much …

How about a tournament first, then a league then? We can always get rid of the vanilla league if it’s too much work. :)

@El:

Now, now, JZ! If It weren’t for Cauliflournia the rest of the post-civilized world would be at war with the USA as the New Fourth Reich. Seig Bush!

Be grateful for the balance they bring to our country.

I, for one, am glad of the balance that lovely ol’ Canada brings to our continent – thanks y’all from up north there!

WHAT THE %$##@*^!?!? Did you post on the wrong thread?

Jan__, I believe Saddam’s last two approval ratings(taken at election time, therefore, equaling his vote percentages were 99.6%(1995, I think) and 99.9%(2000, I think.) Interestingly enough, immediately after both elections, 0.4%(1995) and 0.1%(2000) of the voters shot themselves in the back of their heads. There has been some idle speculation due to the fact that when these #s are added together they equal 100.0% for both elections. No complete cross-referencing has been done to verify that all these distraught voters did not support Saddam. There has been some support for the idea that these unfortunate voters were upset that Saddam did not get unanamous approval.

@T_6:

. . . the people who had a terrible time?

They are divided into two main groups. First, there are those chosen
to visit and believe they had a bad time. Second there are those who believe they were born there and escaped, visited and were captured/tortured, or visited and saw terrible things. This second group
helps fund the control program. Some of the other groups that fund the
brainwashing are the Christian Children’s Fund, the ACLU. the NRA, and the American Red Cross. Of course the plan is so pervasive I only have clues to part of the plot. :P :wink:
“All conservatives are such from personal defects. They have been
effeminated by position or nature, born halt and blind, through luxury
of their parents, and can only, like invalids, act on the defensive.
But strong natures, backwoodsmen, New Hampshire giants, Napoleons,
Burkes, Broughams, Websters, Kossuths, are inevitable patriots, until
their life ebbs, and their defects and gout, palsy and money, warp them.”
Ralph Waldo Emerson, essayist. “Fate,” The Conduct of Life (1860).
Thank you for those words of bias.
