user: You are replying to All about "Iraqi Germ Warfare".

Write your reply.

assistant: Am I to believe that a biological weapon engineered by scientists (no
matter whom they got it from) would be an 'area of effect' type of weapon?
There are definitely things that can be done to even the simplest of viruses
to make them more communicable.  There are also things that can be done to
these increasingly communicable viruses that can circumvent the human immune
response.
    Who's to say that a 'bug' released over Iraqi soil (or Israeli, or
Kuwaiti for that matter) would not jump from country to country killing off
millions of people around the world?  The fact that the Iraqis are Arabs
should not decrease our estimation of their intelligence.  They may just be
capable of acquiring the scientists necessary to create a 'super bug' that
won't stop until there's no one left to infect.  We've got those kind of
agents here in America, who's to say we're the only ones?  Visions of Steven
King's _The Stand_ are dancing in my head.
    I believe that we should make 'gosh darn' sure that we're not going to
release some doomsday weapon into the atmosphere before we go skipping to our
collective Lou on biological weapon bunkers.
    More than likely the anonymous coffee man (Juan Valdez in disguise, or
the UN dude depending on your side of the border) has made many promises that
we as a nation are not ready to keep.  The wording of the inspection
procedures are nothing but an immense vagueness wrapped in an Iraqi loophole.
The political tennis match about the UN agreement is bound to go on for
several months.  The weapons that Saddam has are not on the official
inspection list to begin with anymore.  The only question that remains to be
answered is when and where will Saddam use the biological weapons he has
manufactured.  Let us hope that he does not now have in his possession an
assortment of ICMBs, or even one.  Lest the United States be the guinea pig,
and not an Iraqi neighbor.

Saddam to gain the advantage by making a deal with Kofi Annan
that certainly won't be a deal to America's advantage, or he
wouldn't have agreed to it, but it may be a deal the president

Last summer, the U.S. President and Mrs. Clinton were vacationing in their
home state of Arkansas. On a car trip one day, they stopped at a service
station to fill the car with gas. It just so happened that the owner of the
station had been a boyfriend of Hillary's in high school. They exchanged
pleasantries and then the Clintons went on their way. As they drove off, Bill
put his arm around Hillary and said, "Well, honey, if you had stayed with
him, you would have been the wife of a service station owner today." Hillary
reflected, smiled and replied, "No, if I had stayed with him, HE would be
President of the United States today".

Write your reply.

assistant: Many would, but there is an irreducible minority of parents
who won't assume or perform their responsibilities without
some form of oversight.
Specifically, the academic success correlates very well
with the amount of reading done to and by the child.
Federal interference, yes; but, recall that there were
truant officers long before Federal intervention started.
There is unfortunately an irreducible minority of parents
who see education only as interference in their use of
children as free labor or some similar asset and will not
see to their children's education unless compelled.

Firstly, you don't *really* think that the Dufus is going
to resign without assuring a pardon from Gore by blackmail,
if nothing else?
Secondly, as far as threatening Gore with impeachment for
pardoning Clinton... ain't gonna happen. Pardon of the
Dufus falls within the lawful exercise of his Presidential
powers and is in no way an impeachable offense unless you
can demonstrate that there was a quid pro quo.  Even if you
seek an impeachment of Gore, the Democrat minority will
never go along.
Impeachment, in addition to removing him from office, also
prevents him from using his office, as executive head of
the Justice Department, to obstruct or quash criminal
prosecution.
Let me point out, though, that pardoning of the Dufus does
not grant him absolution. While the pardon does make him
immune to prosecution, that immunity ALSO strips him of any
recourse to 5th Amendment protection. After all, if one
can't be prosecuted then one cannot incriminate oneself.
IOW, if the Dufus is pardoned, he must then cooperate with
Starr's investigation without recourse to the 5th Amendment
on pain of prosecution for perjury or obstruction of
justice. At a minimum, the full story will be told and the
Dufus' place in history will be mercilessly accurate.

user: You are replying to All about "Supreme Court Decisions".

Write your reply.

assistant: Well, it appears that the Supreme Court does indeed take
note of public opinion when formulating their opinions. In
two decisions today, the Court stood squarely behind the
common people.
In the first decision, the Court refused to review Megan's
Law, allowing it to remain in force. Megan's Law, which
requires community notification when a pedophile moves into
the community, remains the law of the land. AFAIC, Megan's
Law is as much a public health regulation as anything else.
Pedophiles do not become rehabilitated and, as such,
constitute an ongoing threat to the community. For that
reason alone, Megan's Law would be necessary and justified.
In the second decision, yet another "special class" of
American people were rudely informed that they were *not*
above the law. When the Justice Department found "no
wrongdoing" in the actions of the Federal agents at Ruby
Ridge, the Attorney General of Idaho filed charges against
them. The Justice Department then sought to have the
charges tried in Federal court. The Court ruled, however,
that the Federal officers were not above the law and could
be tried in Idaho.
