    the Bible or the Holy Qur'an? I have a preconceived notion but if it's wrong, I'd like it dispelled. I will ask this in the Y/A Religion and Spirituality category as well.

    What federal statute do I cite if I want to make a citizens arrest for unlawful entry...

    ...into the United States? If it ever comes up, I need to know what to tell local law enforcement when I call for their assistance. Here in California, it's obvious they won't have a clue unless I tell them. . . No Jon J., I am not Dirty Harry and I would not attempt an apprehension myself...

    Should we enact a law that requires business owners in the US to either

    speak English or provide a translator? This is a language barrier issue, not a racial issue.

    If educated liberals would spend 5 years in the business world...?

    before getting that government job, or tenured in academia, would they better understand the way conservatives view the economy? Stereotypical I know, but I really am curious. . . Interesting link Jared. I don't fit their stereotype well, but that may be due to the fact that I was a hippie...

    Man made global climate change or not: Which scientists are correct?

    We're either going to waste an obscene amount of money or we're going to ignore a global catastrophe. There doesn't seem to be any in-between. How do we reach a consensus?

    Where is the mainstream media?

    The first ACORN video hit the streets almost a week ago. ACORN has 400,000 members, 1200 locations in over 100 American cities, and corruption within their ranks appears to be systemic.

    Is heath care reform just temporary financial relief?

    I only ask because it's likely that "waste" isn't going up at a rate three times our wages. I'm thinking that the fundamental cost of health care is going up three times our wages. If that's true, then we can reset the bar this once, but we'll be dealing with the same issue of rising costs...
