What does snopes.com have to do with
You need to read the bill before the senate and quit looking to snopes for your news. The Federal Government isn't issuing the licenses, they are basically railroading the states into making it mandate to have these ID's. If you don't, they you will not be able to fly on a plane, ride a bus, get government loans, identify yourself in another state as "legal", etc. The Feds don't have to issue it, their blackmail the individual states into doing so. If you don't go along with their stripping of your liberties, they'll take away government funding from those states. How many states do you think wants to lose their government funding? And those that do, will be up **** creek without a paddle. How convenient of the Fed Gov to try to look blameless in this matter. You really need to read the bill......it is an open-ended bill......do you know what that means? They can continue to add, add, add, on anything down the road. They want to say it isn't a national ID card, but of course, those who pay attention, know it really is, because without it, you will be denied access to federal buildings and so many other things, because as the government will see it, you DO NOT EXIST because you DO NOT HAVE an ID card. It it weren't federal government involved, then why would a federal building require a national ID card to enter?

Snopes.....
Nice speech, but check out Snopes.com when you see stuff like this for credibility. This does not sound like Bill Gates style of speech and sure enough, he did not write this.

me too, been using snopes for 11 years *LOL*

I always check Snopes...
before I pass on any e-mails like that one. Some people have entirely too much time on their hands to think up stuff like that. Drives me crazy. Every now and then I get one that is legit, but the rest of the time, Grrrrr!

Snopes last word

AND TO TOP IT ALL OFF...many of these oft forwarded messages have imbedded spybots and trojans.

Check Snopes next time
This isn't true if your car is older than mid-1990s. The codes are now "rolling random codes" and change each time you use the "clicker."

According to snopes.com, Andy did NOT write this.

Snopes and MTV say Richards story was a joke.

That was just too nasty to be true...even for that fella!

http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1556258/20070403/rolling_stones.jhtml

Did you even bother to read the snopes.com information?

To wit:

The proposed regulations establish common standards for States to issue licenses. The Federal Government is not issuing the licenses, is not collecting information about license holders, and is not requiring States to transmit license holder information to the Federal Government that the Government does not already have (such as a Social Security Number).

My state requires a thumbprint for a driver's license. Is that invasion of privacy, too?

Know the facts...
Get your facts straight
http://www.pitbulllovers.com/pit-bulls-ten-things-you-should-know.html
Pitbulls were NOT bred to attack humans. Unfortunately some humans trained & bred pitbulls to fight dogs. Dog aggression is not to be mistaken with people aggression. And like I said before, in so-called reported "pitbull" attacks unless I was there & I heard & seen EXACTLY what happened, I am not about to pass judgement.

Here are some facts.

http://www.dogsbite.org/bite-fatalities-2008.htm

Notice how many of these descriptions of fatalities use the phrase "the family's pit bull".

Both are facts, now if you said - sm
I think Judy Blume books are great.....then that is an opinion. Or, My mom thinks I look good in blus shirts, again that is her opinion (she thinks, I think, etc.). All in the phrasing and point of view of the statement. But I enjoy would be a fact, because you are stating what you like to do (a fact), and your mom liking something is a fact as well, as it is a definite statement.

the facts
One of his daughters is allergic to dog fur which makes it very hard to get a rescue dog. The dog was a gift from E. Kennedy. The Obamas, in lieu of getting a rescue dog gave a 'substantial donation' to the humane society (or similar) in D.C., which, IMO, will save many more dogs than the one he would have rescued.

Don't know the facts about this family but....
Common sense dictates that foods with added hormones and antibiotics CANNOT be good for human consumption. It is completely unncessary. I only buy eggs without hormones and additives to the chickens, free range, and the same with the milk. If a human mother were taking in hormones and antibiotics, wouldn't there be a warning to her if she were breastfeeding not to nurse her child, that this could potentially be dangerous.

They're both facts

I enjoy reading books by Judy Blume. That's a factual statement. I'm not saying anything about the quality of the writing or the stories. Just that I like reading the books. If it were phrased Judy Blume's books are really, really good then that would be opinion. You may think so, but the person next to you may think they're trite.

Same goes with the shirt. My mom loves for me to wear blue shirts is a factual statement because your mom does indeed feel that way. If it were turned around so that it read My mom thinks blue shirts make me look good or My mom loves for me to wear blue shirts because they bring out my eyes then those statements are Mom's opinions. And we all know Mom is always right. .........

Just speaking the facts, ma'am, ;)

always so negative I got her name right maybe you just dont have all the facts
Her name was Vicki Lynn however those who did know her from before know that she used the nickname Nicki when she worked in the clubs around Houston and when she went to Playboy they changed her name to Anna Nicole.

Enjoy your rant I just gave my opinion like everyone else sorry to have annoyed you with a little different point of view.

Just stating the facts ma'am, and it looks like
you are not such a great diagnostician either! lol

And the facts are, that gays exist, and want to
X

And the facts are also that there are Christians and pedophiles and (sm)
people who have premarital sex, and people who are Nuns and people who do drugs. Do we take them on field trips for all of those too?

Maybe The Facts of Life cast Charlotte Rae as ...
Edna Garrett on The Facts of Life???

Heard Al Gore's "documentary" had no facts in it(sm).

Don't worry, it's just the earth cycles and cows passing gas.

We're just speaking the facts, ma'am. :)

you won't loose your cool if you state the facts
just as you did. I have found in my life that everyone has to listen to me and take me seriously if I use no profanity what so ever (and don't yell). Of course you should be upset, your child was assaulted by a bully. I'd be all over that like white on rice!!! Call her up, make her feel lousy for raising such a brute of a daughter. Praise your child for being so wonderful. Unfortunately, all we can tell our little ones is that the world is full of mean, angry others and we are so blessed to not have to behave that way. Count your blessings for your sweet son, just love him and hug him all that much more.

Because, despite asking a question, she wanted commiseration, not facts. nm

I wasn't judging, just stating the facts ma'am....
these were things that were mentioned in the trial. And the baby and the methadone thing was accused by Larry B, I think he would know if she was taking methadone, and she was on something, we all know that.

get your facts straight. Rosie signed a school year

that was when her original contract was supposed to expire, June 2007, a school-year yearly contract. ABC wanted her to sign a 3-year contract for the amount of $$ she requested.........and she only wanted to sign a one-year contract.......

I will miss her as I had given up the View due to Star Jones' fiascos....and now, once again, after June, I will never watch it again. Rosie brought the ratings up because after 9 years of Star Jones, people were tired of the show.

Ta-Ta to The View and ABC.....

Yes, and friends too. But school is where kids learn facts, so whatever their teacher says (sm)
they are going to think it must be right. I think that is unfair leverage to use to support your own point of view as a teacher.

you can give the people the facts, but the decision making process should be left to the people

This is what our country is founded on FREEDOM OF CHOICE! I'm laughing already; you are just as mortal as the rest of us, and don' even attempt to that you've never done anything in your lifetime that was unsafe or unhealthy. NOT gonna buy it.
