I heard an astonishing statistic yesterday. Eight out of ten Americans have a favorable opinion of Barack Obama and want him to succeed. So what do you think is going on with those two out of ten who don't?
There are dueling philosophies involved. Look under Reagan-Bush-Bush we have seen the national debt grow about $9 trillion dollars. We've had Iran-Contra, 9/11, major recession, 3 wars, stagnant wages, seen the virtual disappearance of savings on the whole (Americans are spending what they earn and then some), our education system fall behind, etc.
The Clinton era saw economic growth, a...

How much time are you going to give President Barack Obama to prove himself?
Until what? No offense but I am sure many people are happy that today is W.'s last day in office, a man that we didn't elect in 2000, may not have elected in 2004 (Ohio!), whom we have on the whole disagreed with for years, and who kept right on doing what he damn well felt like doing.
I don't think it much matters how long I give him.

IF HAMAS' ONLY AGENDA, AND THEY CLEARLY DO STATE, THEIR AGENDA IS THE DESTRUCTION OF ISRAEL WHY SHOULD ISRAEL HAVE ANY COMPASSION AT ALL. iF SOMEONE WAS TRYING TO KILL MY CHILDREN, I WOULD KILL THEM FIRST,
First, you're confusing the state of Israel with the people who live there. Second, you're confusing Palestinians with Hamas. Not everyone supports the US war in Iraq, but our military forces are still there, does that make us fair targets? Third, because God commands it. Thou shalt not murder is straightforward. Offing civilians for military purposes is murder.

Does America have any soul?
America's got both. We are a nation that worships God. We are a nation that worships money. We are a country that will go to war to steal land and resources. And we are a nation whose people will support a war just because it's right.
So, yes, America has a soul. I think we've got plenty of both, the good souls and the evil ones.

My Golden Retriever he is very friendly but sometimes gets agressive with my other 2 puppies over toys, he will be very posessive with them and if they come near him sometimes he will snarl at them and agressively chase them off. How can i stop this?
Take the toys away. Let him have a toy only when the other puppies are around and he's playing with them. You can do this by offering him less valuable toys that he won't be so eager to fight for.
Mainly though the important thing is to take the toys away as soon as possible so he doesn't learn that aggression is the way to go.

How do you work on jelousy with a dog? We have a two yr old golden, and just adopted a 1yr old black lab, and the golden, who is usually very good with other dogs, has become overly defensive of her toys/food/bones, ect and is snapping at the new dog.
First, the advice that Darth Continent is giving you can lead to you getting bitten by either one of the dogs. Grabbing them by the neck and rolling them over is a bad idea. Pulling fighting dogs apart by sticking your hands on the scruff of their neck is a bad idea. People often get away with this behavior with Goldens and Labs because they are such nice dogs, but that doesn't make it the...

I'd recommend picking up interactive toys and...

Why are people saying McCain was formidable in the Public Forum? I though Obama was a lot more intelligent in his answers (attack with humility, evil has been done in the name of good, etc.)
He looked energetic, enthusiastic, and fun during the forum. The moderator didn't press him for specific answers or point out when he was off topic entirely (nor did he change his demeanor when Obama made great answers, except, of course, for the one that was positive about Rick Warren), so his series of stories were left as entertaining tales. Granted Warren could have pointed out that...

Since Joe Biden flies the Catholic flag, then is he a hypocrite for not following the teachings of his professed religion regarding the protection of unborn children?
That greatly depends on what you feel are the reasons for abortion. One of the difficulties in the debate on abortion rights is the tendency to look at it beginning with a pregnant girl who is contemplating an abortion. At that time people who take an anti-abortion stance invoke many religious and moral arguments against the action. And these are very difficult to counter on moral grounds...

Does the behavior of a candidate's supporters have any influence in how one chooses to vote?
For me it could. For example, I am not a Mormon, but my brother is. Through him I have met many Mormons and found them to be polite and helpful. Because of that, I would be more likely to vote for Mitt Romney than any other Republican candidate since I have a sense of the community he comes from. I think friends of a person can tell you a lot about them.

No disrespect to the elderly, but it needs to be remembered that John McCain is not a young man. Aging wears on the body and the brain. His houses are one among many issues he has trouble recalling.
Do we want that in a President? I doubt it. High intellectual ability should be a prerequisite for such a complex job.

I wonder if the low voter turn out during the presidential election is a result of a favored candidate being eliminated during the primaries? It seems as though a large percentage of registered voters don't bother to vote during the actual election.
I think it relates to the primaries as well as the similarities among the candidates, Republican or Democrat. If it was a plurality system in which a Representative could be elected w/ 34% of the vote (or less) you'd get more diverse viewpoints and possibly more voter participation.
I think the low turnout is related to people's lack of belief in the government to work for their...

I have not. I have seen her nasty friend, the brown recluse, up close and personal. To me it was a chilling event the first time. He was already way dead (lots and lots of raid pumping through his body) but it's scary to see them and know how close they are. I found 4, maybe 5, in the last apartment I lived in. I moved out of that place fast!

What's an easy way to get rid of a hectic spider problem? And why do I keep finding these little curled up things when I find a spider... what are those?
Bad news my friend - there is no easy way to get rid of spiders. Unlike other pests, even professional exterminating is of limited value. The best thing to do is to 1) seal off cracks to the outside, 2) identify what they are eating (other bugs) and go after them and 3) lay sticky traps to catch the spiders.

Has anyone heard if Hillary Clinton is getting paid and/or leveraged by either an insurance company or drug company to FORCE us to purchase health care? (This is America??? I was under the impression that I have rights...)
The thing to keep in mind is that whether people have insurance or not, they will continue to get sick and they will seek out medical care. One of the reasons for spiraling government health care costs - as well as the closure of numerous hospitals that provide care for the poor - is the issue of uninsured people showing up with medical needs and/or emergencies.

Answer to:
With the price of gas over $4.00, do you still go to restaurants?
I do. I think the gas prices have brought the cost of making your own dinner closer to that of eating out. I usually eat alone, so for me it's the cost of one sandwich which isn't as costly relative to shopping as it used to be since the groceries are more expensive due to higher shipping costs. Restaurants don't seem to have raised prices at the same rate as grocery stores.

Answer to:
In Florida, may a woman living in a house, alone or with her daughter, refuse to rent a spare bedroom in the house to a man, and only offer the room to women, for safety? Is there a Florida law which covers this?
I doubt there's a law that specifically covers that issue, but I think she could easily pull it off. People make such distinctions all the time when sub-letting or taking in boarders. It would be covered by state and federal regulations, but given the historical background of anti-discrimination law, it seems unlikely that any court would enjoin her to accept a male boarder.

Spiders: pure evil....do you agree?
Sure do. And let's not forget the bugs they stalk. While we may think it's great that a spider kills flies, the flies probably don't agree.
However, sometimes spiders are wonderful. For example, the cellar spider is known to hunt and kill the black widow. When he does that he is a good spider because he has killed a dangerous spider. Same thing anytime a BRS is killed.

First assumption would be that it's a lone spider. Why? Because he's out in the open wondering around. I'd be more concerned about the ones you find in secret places.

Why is it bad to feed a dog chocolate?
Chocolate has a substance known as theobromine in it. Dogs cannot quickly process it and when it builds up (say from eating a lot of chocolate) it can cause a systematic response, ranging from diarrhea and vomiting to heart issues to death.
It's kind of like a person drinking too much hard alcohol too fast. The body can process it and break it down, but at a fixed pace. Too much and you...

Why are dogs fine eating feces but not when it comes to chocolate?
Chocolate has theobromine in it and dogs can't digest this well. Sort of like doggie lactose intolerance.

Have U.S. policies established after September 11, 2001 substantially reduced the risk of terrorist acts against the United States? (Curious as to what people think)
No, I don't buy that. Violence begets violence. Bush's policies (backed and supported by both parties) have shown the U.S. to be vicious. That intimidates rational people, but I don't think, from a psychological perspective, that insane-gonna-suicide-bomb-you-and-die-anyway

Do you believe, as McCain was quoted as saying today, that the ongoing invasion of Iraq is essential to US security?
Yes, I think it is. The problem with exporting your culture is that everyone ends up competing for the same resources. To keep the U.S. powerful economically and militarily, we need to control a large source of oil. The war isn't about democracy, Hussein, Al Qaeda, or terrorism. It's about seizing oil interests so we can control the international flow of the supply. Taking Iran's...

Why do the NCAA and NFHS have the five-second closely guarded violation and the NBA does not?

If you get ball then body it is usually a foul. Any contact with the body is part of the blocking motion. People get away with it, particularly if they are well known or it was a difficult block.
Aggressive play, even...

Obama's experience has been questioned. I ask whether the vision in looking at a problem is more important than whether you have seen a similar problem before? The problems are not known in advance and whoever is elected will face them as new challenges.
To continue (AB does not allow enough characters in questions) - we know health care, Iraq, and the economy will be issues. But how will they play out? Not exactly as expected because life isn't like that.

Answer to:
Have you heard that if elected, Hillary would nominate bill to the Supreme Court?
According to Bill Clinton, he would not hold an official position. Some of them (not sure which) would be illegal for him to hold. He said he would be involved in goodwill missions when asked (which he would do for Bush if Bush wanted to send goodwill anywhere).
Now, would Bill be involved in selecting who gets appointed? Hard not to think he would be.

Does your school have a dress code (uniforms)? If not then you should question the teacher or have one of your parents speak with the teacher or administrative staff. While dressing up as well as you can is expected in the workforce, it is not okay for a teacher to grade you down based on that.

Humans are not needed to thin out herds or control populations. That is bullshit....

I think you have to run either a motion offense or a standard pro-set (1-2 guys post up, ball goes in, wing guys move around). Without having a lot of time to prepare, those two are the best way to go since it's more or less about running around.
Better go over the basics in practice - bounce passes, ball movement, triple threat position, box out, talk on defense.
