Open Question: I am a minor, and do not make min. Wage?

I work at hy-vee as a bagger, I make $7.25 an hour. The state min, wage is 7.75 an hour going up to 8.00 and hour today, the last time i got my paycheck my min wage listed was 7.25 okay i went to my state DOL website and it states The Equal Pay Act prohibits employers with four or more employees from paying unequal wages to men and women for doing the same or substantially similar work, requiring equal skill, effort, and responsibility, under similar working conditions for the same employer in the same county, except if the wage difference is based upon a seniority system, a merit system, a system measuring earnings by quantity or quality of production, or factors other than gender. ok so i do the same ammount work as other baggers that are older then me. so since it does not mention age, i think hy-vee is violating this law. So If i worked 20 hours a week, one month at 7.25 i would have made 580 dollars, but if i was supposed to make 7.75 that is 40 dollars less a month, which after 1 year of working there is a loss of 480 dollars. so what should i do? i think it should call the idol and file a complaint, and if it is true, should sue my company for financial loss more

Resolved Question: What do you think of this article? Women, I understand that we need rights, but lets choose wisely....?

Women are protected during pregnancy. That is how it should be. This rule of "segregation" is to protect your child. Its not about the woman. I am all about equal rights and wish I got paid what my male co-workers get paid. But complaining about them protecting your pregnancy your baby. Suing for this is ridiculous! Do you agree? WASHINGTON (UPI) -- The U.S. Justice Department and the Bryan County, Okla., Sheriff's Department reached a settlement in a pregnancy discrimination lawsuit, the department said. The complaint alleged the sheriff engaged in employment discrimination against women by requiring the reassignment of female officers working in the jail to administrative duties when they were pregnant, violating Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the U.S. Justice Department said Wednesday in a news release. Title VII prohibits discrimination in employment on the basis of race, color, national origin, religion or sex, including pregnancy. The consent decree, which still needs court approval, bars the sheriff from discriminating against any employee or applicant of the Bryan County Sheriff's Office, including the jail, on the basis of sex and pregnancy, the Justice Department said. The consent decree also requires the sheriff to implement a policy prohibiting employment discrimination on the basis of pregnancy and to provide mandatory training on the policy.

Resolved Question: human resource management?

Case study: Nearly 10yrs ago Ali & Usman opened a small chocolate shop named as ‘Royal Chocolates’. Royal Chocolates manufactured high quality chocolates for all special occasions. All the chocolates were manufactured & sold on the premises of the two owners (Ali, Usman). Mr. Ali was responsible for the production & finances while Mr. Usman took care of sales & advertising. At first, both were the only full-time employees & part-time help was used during peek business seasons. However, the demand for their chocolates grew & the business soon became successful beyond their optimistic expectations. As the firm grew, Ali & Usman expanded their retail & manufacturing facilities & hired 15 full-time employees. All employees, except the proprietors, were paid on an hourly basis slightly above the federal minimum wage rate. Despite the low wages, the firm was able to attract dedicated employees who enjoyed working in ‘Royal Chocolates’ small & cohesive environment. Part-time employees were still used to help the full-time employees when needed. However, some of the part-time employees were lacking in aggressiveness & initiative that a small, but growing business required. As Ali put it, some of the workers in the production area seemed to be lacking in performance. Often shelf inventories of chocolates that were especially popular with the customers would be depleted. In addition, some of his sales persons’ help would fail to report for work or would call in sick. Turnover among part-time help was high & both Ali & Usman felt that the firm’s pay policy might be contributing to their personnel problems. Ali decided to institute a ‘piece-rate’ plan whereby production workers would be paid a bonus for packing more than 75boxes of chocolates per hour. In order to ensure quality, production workers were penalized for every box containing smashed or imperfect chocolates that the quality control workers rejected. He hoped that this incentive system would help maintain inventory levels without sacrificing quality. Unfortunately, the plan was a failure because nearly all the production workers complained that the incentive system was too demanding & making extra money was difficult. Royal Chocolates’ problems were compounded when its sales personnel complained that they were forced to accept a straight hourly wage with no chance for any incentive bonus. The production workers, in turn, claimed that they were not compensated fairly relative to the sales workers because sales personnel worked in pleasant surroundings whereas; production workers had to endure heat, noise, & greater safety hazards. A number of workers also claimed that wages in other companies in the community were much higher than those at Royal Chocolates. Royal Chocolates recently received a visit from a state labor department’s representative who threatened the company owners for violating the wage & hourly wage law. It appears that Royal Chocolates had failed to pay overtime to employees who worked over 40 hours during the week during peek seasons. Between the employee about pay, the legal problems, & the paper work that Ali is required to fill out for the state & federal government, he is beginning to wonder whether being a small business owner is worth the headaches. His headache became even worse when he began trying to figure out how the Reform Tax Act was going to affect his business & its tax situation. Q8. How did the newly instituted ‘piece-rate’ pay plan affect the employees’ performance? A. Enhanced the workers’ performance as perceived by the company’s proprietors B. Created a chaos among the low performers as they would be the only ones in the loss C. Developed the perception that it is impossible to get bonuses due to unattainable targets D. Resulted in multiple pay rates that has increased burden on finance personnel Q9. As per the given situation how the standard ‘hourly wage rate’ was evaluated by the workers of both production & sales departments? A. Ensured equity by equally paying all the workers irrespective to the departments B. Unjustifiable to pay all employees in the same manner due to different working conditions of the departments C. Equal pay rates provided a cushion to free-riders to hide their low performance D. Created a competitive environment that ultimately resulted in boosting the employees’ performance Q11. How the already set performance target, discussed in this scenario, can be redefined to improve workers’ efficiency? A. The existing target is an appropriate one; workers are making lame excuses just to refrain from putting efforts B. Reward the employees only on ‘zero-defect’ packaging of chocolate boxes C. Quantity of manufactured chocolates should be the parameter of assigning bonuses to workers D. Bonuses should be allocated on the successful production as well as accurate packaging of chocolates & candies Q12. In order to effectively motivate the s more

Resolved Question: Obama's appointees accountable to ONLY HIM?

Wouldn't you call this Obama's huge grab for power and control over U.S. citizens? +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ "Wall Street Journal" - June 5, 2009 By DEBORAH SOLOMON WASHINGTON -- The Obama administration plans to appoint a "Special Master for Compensation" to ensure that companies receiving federal bailout funds are abiding by executive-pay guidelines, according to people familiar with the matter. The administration is expected to name Kenneth Feinberg, who oversaw the federal government's compensation fund for victims of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, to act as a pay czar for the Treasury Department, these people said. Associated Press Kenneth Feinberg, who oversaw payouts to 9/11 victims, will keep tabs on executive pay at companies in bailout. . Mr. Feinberg's appointment could be announced as early as next week, when the administration is expected to release executive-compensation guidelines for firms receiving aid from the $700 billion Troubled Asset Relief Program. Those companies, which include banks, insurers and auto makers, are subject to a host of compensation restrictions imposed by the Bush and Obama administrations and by Congress. Wall Street has been anxiously awaiting more details on how the rules will be applied. "The law is confusing and a bit ambiguous, and so we're looking for certainty as to how to structure pay incentives," said Scott Talbott, senior vice president of government affairs for the Financial Services Roundtable, a trade association. The move comes amid a series of sometimes-overlapping efforts to curb pay at financial firms following perceived industry excesses that led to the lending boom and bust. . The Obama administration earlier this year issued guidelines that include limiting salary for top executives at some firms receiving TARP funds and requiring that additional pay be in the form of restricted stock, vesting only after the company repays its debt, with interest, to the government. Congress then chimed in with even tougher rules curbing bonuses for top earners at firms receiving TARP money. As part of that effort, lawmakers barred those firms from paying top earners bonuses that equal more than a third of their total compensation. The White House has been wrestling with how to marry those two efforts, which in combination are more punitive than administration officials had intended. The government is also pursuing a separate revamping of financial-sector rules that could change industry compensation practices more broadly. For instance, the Federal Reserve is considering rules that would curb banks' ability to pay employees in a way that would threaten the "safety and soundness" of the bank. Mr. Feinberg is expected to focus on pay restrictions related to firms receiving TARP bailout funds, helping companies to interpret the rules and ensure that they are being followed. For instance, companies have been confused about whether to pay 2008 bonuses, since restrictions on incentive pay didn't go into effect until early 2009. Some firms have made the payments while others have held off. Many firms are also unsure whether the "top earners" targeted by Congress include rank-and-file employees or just executives. Journal Communitydiscuss..“ Obama is establishing a new cabinet of officials who are accountable only to him. This is an unprecedented power grab. ” .— Kathryn Reagan. Mr. Feinberg will report to Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner, but he is expected to have wide discretion on how the rules should be interpreted. Firms likely won't be able to appeal decisions that Mr. Feinberg makes to Mr. Geithner, according to people familiar with the matter. Mr. Feinberg, founder and managing partner of the law firm Feinberg Rozen LLP, spent several years overseeing payouts totaling more than $7 billion to victims of the 9/11 attacks. He personally reviewed every claim, approving or denying awards and allocating sums to be paid out of the Treasury.

Resolved Question: Is my employer obligated to pay for health insurance? If no, can I get it thru new Corba stimulus plan?

My company has been slowing down a lot. I am required to take mandatory time off since Jan. All employees have health insurance coverage from our employer. Now, I only work two days a week. My boss told me she is not required to give me health insurance by law as I work less than 30 hours a week. If this is the case, can I get health insurance coverage thru the new Stimulus law that was signed by Obama earlier? From what I know, those taxpayers qualifying as an “Assistance Eligible Individual” under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (“2009 Recovery Act”) are able to pay a reduced premium equal to 35% of the original COBRA premium for up to nine months. The balance of the premium will be subsidized by the government. more

Resolved Question: What do you think of government making an attempt to take control over 4 million small businesses?

NEW LAW WOULD AUTHORIZE GOVERNMENT CONTROL OF 4 MILLION SMALL BUSINESSES National Center for Policy Analysis The Employee Free Choice Act (EFCA, H.R. 1409, S. 560) does more than take away secret ballot elections: It empowers the federal government to impose contracts on newly organized companies. The government would set wages, benefits, work assignments, promotion procedures, and any major changes to business operations. Because EFCA has no meaningful small businesses exemption, it would authorize federal control of up to 4 million small businesses employing 39 million Americans. Consequently, bureaucrats with no management experience would effectively control these small businesses, says James Sherk, the Bradley Fellow in Labor Policy at the Heritage Foundation. The misnamed Employee Free Choice Act affects both large and small businesses, says Sherk: The National Labor Relations Act (NLRA) has a small business exception, however, this exemption has not been updated for inflation since 1959. It covers all non-retail businesses with gross revenues of $50,000 a year and retail businesses with gross revenues over $500,000 a year. To put those figures into perspective, the average private-sector worker costs his or her employer $56,000 a year in wages and benefits--before the cost of any capital needed to do the job. A business with one worker earning average pay would not qualify, consequently, the law has no meaningful small businesses exemption. The Heritage Foundation used Census Bureau data to calculate how many small businesses EFCA would affect: The act covers 4,180,000 businesses employing 38,934,000 workers. EFCA takes away these workers' right to a secret ballot vote on joining a union -- a consequence that has attracted considerable controversy, says Sherk. However, the bill has a second provision of equal if not greater significance to small businesses that has attracted much less attention: EFCA replaces collective bargaining with government-imposed contracts for newly organized companies. In practice: EFCA will effectively eliminate collective bargaining for initial contracts because the system provides no reason for unions not to hold out for a government contract. Unions would have strong incentives to make extreme demands and hope the FMCS appointed arbitrator splits the difference between these demands and management's position. Granting such a radical amount of power to the FMCS puts control of workplaces in the hands of unaccountable government bureaucrats, says Sherk.

Resolved Question: Has Obama done anything for anyone besides his political cronies?

Rewarded abortionists by freeing federal funds to pay for abortions both here and overseas. • Rewarded terrorists by not interrogating them too roughly. • Rewarded terrorists by closing Guantanamo Bay (Gitmo). • Punished the U.S. military by halting commissions until Gitmo is “reviewed.” • Rewarded the domestically-held terrorist Ali Saleh Kahlah al-Marri by “reviewing” his case. • Rewarded Gitmo detainee Abd al-Rahim al-Nashiri, an al-Qaida suspect in USS Cole in 200, that killed 17 U.S. sailors, by dropping charges against him. • Rewarded terrorists from Hamas by granting them up to $20.3 million for the “conflict victims in Gaza.” • Rewarded terrorists by establishing a redress process if those suspected of wrongdoing are delayed or prohibited from boarding a flight. • Rewarded female career “victims” by signing the “Lily Ledbetter Fair Pay Act” so women can wage equal-pay lawsuits, not for up to 180 days but for decades in the past. • Rewarded the American-hating president of Iran, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, by “reaching out” to him — to which the madman demanded that the U.S. apologize to Iran for its actions for “the past 60 years” and remove all U.S. forces from the Middle East. • Rewarded labor unions by revoking a former executive order that forced employers to notify employees of their rights. • Punished faith-based organizations by equating them with “neighborhood partnerships” like Planned Parenthood and ACORN — treating them “like a house of God, in the eyes of the federal government.” • Punished fair-hiring employers by requiring federal executives to hire union-only members. • Punished the American people by issuing numerous draconian environmental dictates that insure zero energy independence for decades to come, if ever. more

Resolved Question: Are you being paid equal pay for equal work?

President Barack Obama signed a new pay-equity measure into law Thursday, effectively overturning a 2007 Supreme Court decision that made it harder to sue for pay discrimination. The Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Restoration Act is the first bill President Obama signed. The Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Restoration Act, named for a former Goodyear Tire employee who sued the company for gender discrimination in 1998, is the first bill signed by Obama. "It is fitting that with the very first bill I sign ... we are upholding one of this nation's first principles: that we are all created equal and each deserve a chance to pursue our own version of happiness," Obama said at a ceremony in the East Room of the White House. "If we stay focused, as Lilly did, and keep standing for what's right, as Lilly did, we will close that pay gap and ensure that our daughters have the same rights, the same chances, and the same freedom to pursue their dreams as our sons." The new law removes a provision requiring employees seeking equal pay to file a complaint within 180 days of receiving their first unfair paycheck. more

Resolved Question: So the new administration is going to pay back trial lawyers and unions with new legislation, thoughts?

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090109/ap_on_go_co/pay_equity The Lilly Ledbetter Act "The Paycheck Fairness Act puts gender-based discrimination on an equal footing with other forms of discrimination in seeking compensatory and punitive damages. It also puts the burden on employers to prove that any disparities in wages are job-related and not sex-based, and bars employers from retaliating against workers who discuss or disclose salary information with their co-workers." The lawyers are saying cha ching! As are the unions: Employee Free Choice Act : "Business groups maintain the Employee Free Choice Act is an affront to democratic principles. Unions say companies have used secret ballots to intimidate pro-union workers and that the bill could help reverse the downward trend in union membership"Ask a goat: this is straight out of the headlines, perhaps you should spend less time listening to Hannity because I certainly don't.I think it is funny that you sheep don't even recognize who benefits the most from these things, that is truly funny! more

Resolved Question: Do I have a case - possible sexual discrimination / equal pay act violation?

I found a document that stated how much all employees made where I worked ( I am sure it was on there by accident). This document was on a public drive that all employees had access to. I seen that a male that was recently hired was making 2 more dollars an hour than I. I have been there 6 months longer then he was and have more education. We do the exact same job. I took this information to my HR manager wanting to know why he was being paid more. He starts yelling at me about discussing wages. I told him I never discussed wages with any coworkers - this information was public. He wouldn't believe me. The next day he calls me down to his office. He tells me that I am fired for discussing wages which is against policy. I told him what he was doing was illegal. I hope I am right. I have done some research on this and to me it seems like I have a case. These cases are hard to win. I am not sure I want to go through all the legalities...but I feel like I need to do something because of the way I was treated. Any opinions? more

Resolved Question: Could you check my language mistakes ?

Legal status: • Sole trader The sole trader is the simplest way to run a business. There are many businesses within local area which may operate as sole trader (plumbers, hairdressers, cornel shops etc.). A sole trader is an individual who owns and operates own business. However, there may be some employees who help to run a business. All profit are available for the sole trader to spend or re-invest into the business. The difficult for a sole trader is that if he or she becomes ill there is no one to run the business. A sole trader may also find it difficult to obtain finance because a number of people together can inject more finance into the business than one person alone. A sole trader has unlimited liability which means that the owner is responsible for the debts incurred by the business is things go wrong. For example if a sole trader cannot pay his or her bills, the personal assets like family home or car may be sold to cover outstanding debts. • Partnership Other business may decide to operate as partnership. In partnership, form 2 to 20 people share costs, responsibilities and risk of being in business. Partners have unlimited liability, which means that each partner is responsible for the debts of the other partners. A partnership agreement usually sets the responsibilities and rights of the partners and how the profits will be shared between the partners. This legal status also allows more capital to be used in the business that sole trader because it allows to raise capital for the business out of partners savings or with loans. Partners can also help to motivate each other and boost spirit when things go wrong. Partners can put more money and bring new skills into the business. An effective partnership needs to be made up of people with different skills and abilities because everyone can contribute ideas. For example one partner may be useful to give some useful advices to another partner. People with different skills and weaknesses are more likely to be successful. It also gives partners more personal freedom to take holidays because there is always someone to run the business. Legal responsibilities Careful attention needs to be paid to businesses’ staff and their rights. There are many laws affecting health and safety at work, paying and equal opportunities. Health and safety Stringent rules are set out to ensure that businesses do all they can to protect their workers. The main legislation in Britain is the Health and safety at Work Act. This set out the minimum standards which employers must maintain the working environment and workplace. This include: • Businesses must provide all necessary safety equipment and clothing • Making sue that workers have regularly brakes to test • Employers must provide a safety working environment • All businesses must have a written safety policy on display • All businesses must keep temperatures comfortable To prevent accidents in the work place and protect the work environment I must make sure that my own business meets all legal issues specially health and safety at work regulations and food hygiene legislation. I also need to provide adequate washroom and toilet facilities and create a hygienic and safety environment to work in.  more

Resolved Question: To all voters out there...will you help out?

Dear Friends, As of now, I will no longer shop at Walmart stores. It's time for us to let Walmart know we want justice for all employees. If Obama is elected, he will require companies like Walmart to allow all its employees the option of joining a union. Thanks for giving this matter your serious attention. Also, send this note along to you list of contacts and ask for their support.

OBAMA SUPPORTERS & DEMOCRATS; NEE D TO STEP UP TO THE PLATE AND TAKE A NOTABLE STAND AGAINST THIS..... ________________________________________ WAL-MART OPPOSES OBAMA PRESIDENCY..... Wal-Mart is taking this outrageous step because Democrat Barack Obama has committed to pass the Employee Free Choice Act to restore workers' freedom to bargain for fair wages, health care,20decent working conditions and a real voice on the job. All of America 's workers have the right to freely decide whom to vote for independent of employer pressure and intimidation. So, please forward this email to everyone you know. Be sure to get the word out. Let's hit them in their pocket book. STOP giving money to Wal-Mart Republ icans and Corporate Neo-Nazis. We need to let our money do our talking. DON'T SHOP AT WAL-MART. Let's take them to school and hit them where it hurts – in their greedy little pocket books! Corporate giants like Wal-Mart have been suppressing workers' wages and passing along health care costs to hardworking taxpayers like you for years. Wal-Mart executives are getting rich, while we're being left behind. They understand what is at stake in this election, and so do we--a real voice at work for: -- Fair pay; -- Health care for all; -- Equal treatment; -- Safe workplaces; and -- A secure retirement. The Wall Street Journal reports that Wal-Mart is telling its managers to tell employees not to vote for Democrats (OBAMA). Here's the story: http://online.wsj.com/article/SB121755649066303381.html?mod=hpp_us_whats_news This was in an email just sent to me. If the link doesn't work please let me know. Thanks!I understand Beth. You gotta do what you gotta do. For some Walmart is the cheapest out there. I am just fortunate to be able to have a Target, a doller store etc close by. But I do understand situations like that.They have every right at the moment to unionize if they wish. That is not what I am arguing. My point is that if Obama wins there will be no choice. It will be his way or the highway. He doesn't want people to have freedom of much of anything so he will limit what people choose to do. more

Resolved Question: Who Wants Alternative Parties With Equal Say In The Voting Process?

I've been an indie voter for many years since I look at the political parties as cults. I've met so many "brainwashed" zombies from many of the parties that basically get spoon-fed crap from very partisan sources and if anyone presents them with like actual facts and stuff they get go into rants, call you names, and act insane. It's like they're programmed to shut you up in anyway possible because they like their little fake world in the party's reality distortion field and facts would be like saying "Santa isn't real". And sadly the party I was with was one of the biggest ones for having members act like they were in a cult; the Democrats. I've met others from the Republicans to who live in reality distortion fields and will also justify bad stuff, but are much more sociable and don't usually get pissed off at criticism. I'm rather libertarian politically and believe that that people need to be protected from both government and big business, but that government is worse since they can just take everything you own and tend to live on our backs like spoiled greedy brats who want everything, but don't want to work for a living and want us to pay for it! And then take what they steal from us to bribe certain groups of people to be their little whores on election day. I don't want anything from these parasites and the private sector always does a better job too. You know the usual sediment "a government employee is someone who couldn't compete in the private sector". Sponging's easier for them. I don't believe in joining a party because it makes your thinking lazy and distorts reality just like being cloistered in some cult. I like thinking for myself and researching facts from more neutral sources. Many people in the big D and big R use sources many of which I find to be run by kooks and and some are honestly dangerous like Nazi propaganda! And so many people feed off this toxic sludge constantly! It scares the sh*t out me! And honestly both are like different sides of the same coin. Either way the end result leaves the honest working people out in the cold and exploited. We get used and never represented by anyone or have a say about where the country is going. Politicians whore to small special interests that have nothing to do with us and arrogance is the order of the day! Who like me wants to see alternative parties given equal footing to these 2 who monopolize everything and abuse us constantly with more taxes, lies at every turn, destroying our Constitution, taking away our rights, and secretly putting laws through? We're being slowly smothered to death by these elitist control freaks! more

Resolved Question: Californians, what is your vote on prop 8?

When Gay Rights and Religious Liberties Clash by Barbara Bradley Hagerty NPR.org, June 13, 2008 · In recent years, some states have passed laws giving residents the right to same-sex unions in various forms. Gay couples may marry in Massachusetts and California. There are civil unions and domestic partnerships in Vermont, New Jersey, Connecticut, New Hampshire and Oregon. Other states give more limited rights. Armed with those legal protections, same-sex couples are beginning to challenge policies of religious organizations that exclude them, claiming that a religious group's view that homosexual marriage is a sin cannot be used to violate their right to equal treatment. Now parochial schools, "parachurch" organizations such as Catholic Charities and businesses that refuse to serve gay couples are being sued — and so far, the religious groups are losing. Here are a few cases: Adoption services: Catholic Charities in Massachusetts refused to place children with same-sex couples as required by Massachusetts law. After a legislative struggle — during which the Senate president said he could not support a bill "condoning discrimination" — Catholic Charities pulled out of the adoption business in 2006. Housing: In New York City, Yeshiva University's Albert Einstein College of Medicine, a school under Orthodox Jewish auspices, banned same-sex couples from its married dormitory. New York does not recognize same-sex marriage, but in 2001, the state's highest court ruled Yeshiva violated New York City's ban on sexual orientation discrimination. Yeshiva now allows all couples in the dorm. Parochial schools: California Lutheran High School, a Protestant school in Wildomar, holds that homosexuality is a sin. After the school suspended two girls who were allegedly in a lesbian relationship, the girls' parents sued, saying the school was violating the state's civil rights act protecting gay men and lesbians from discrimination. The case is before a state judge. Medical services: A Christian gynecologist at North Coast Women's Care Medical Group in Vista, Calif., refused to give his patient in vitro fertilization treatment because she is in a lesbian relationship, and he claimed that doing so would violate his religious beliefs. (The doctor referred the patient to his partner, who agreed to do the treatment.) The woman sued under the state's civil rights act. The California Supreme Court heard oral arguments in May 2008, and legal experts believe that the woman's right to medical treatment will trump the doctor's religious beliefs. One justice suggested that the doctors take up a different line of business. Psychological services: A mental health counselor at North Mississippi Health Services refused therapy for a woman who wanted help in improving her lesbian relationship. The counselor said doing so would violate her religious beliefs. The counselor was fired. In March 2001, the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit sided with the employer, ruling that the employee's religious beliefs could not be accommodated without causing undue hardship to the company. Civil servants: A clerk in Vermont refused to perform a civil union ceremony after the state legalized them. In 2001, in a decision that side-stepped the religious liberties issue, the Vermont Supreme Court ruled that he did not need to perform the ceremony because there were other civil servants who would. However, the court did indicate that religious beliefs do not allow employees to discriminate against same-sex couples. Adoption services: A same-sex couple in California applied to Adoption Profiles, an Internet service in Arizona that matches adoptive parents with newborns. The couple's application was denied based on the religious beliefs of the company's owners. The couple sued in federal district court in San Francisco. The two sides settled after the adoption company said it will no longer do business in California. Wedding services: A same sex couple in Albuquerque asked a photographer, Elaine Huguenin, to shoot their commitment ceremony. The photographer declined, saying her Christian beliefs prevented her from sanctioning same-sex unions. The couple sued, and the New Mexico Human Rights Commission found the photographer guilty of discrimination. It ordered her to pay the lesbian couple's legal fees ($6,600). The photographer is appealing. Wedding facilities: Ocean Grove Camp Meeting Association of New Jersey, a Methodist organization, refused to rent its boardwalk pavilion to a lesbian couple for their civil union ceremony. The couple filed a complaint with the New Jersey Division on Civil Rights. The division ruled that the boardwalk property was open for public use, therefore the Methodist group could not discriminate against gay couples using it. In the interim, the state's Department of Environmental Protection revoked a portion of the association's tax benefits. The case is ongoing. Youth  more

Resolved Question: McCain and the "Equal Pay For Women" vote?

I have a question about this vote (non-vote, I think is the case) that John McCain has taken flak on. I agree the "women need more education" comment was a bit off the mark, but my question stems from the actual legislation. I just took the time and read the actual text of the proposal and would like people's interpretations of what I found. (1) This is not an "equal pay for women" act, but equal pay for ALL. (2) This act would allow anyone to file this claim against a company regardless of when it happened. Someone could claim they were discriminated against 20 years ago if they so chose. (This thought comes from the fact that it amends the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and several others. Grandfather clause?) (3) The act was defeated primarily because it opens the door for frivolous lawsuits. An argument we all know is feasible. It also yields several questions: (1) By disclosing that she was aware of other employees salaries in a company where salaries are confidential, she violated the company's confidentiality policy, which is most likely a termination-level event. Should she be fired for doing so? Seems they would be within their rights. (2) Should something like this be enacted to open companies up to lawsuits stemming from years past? What happens if the employee has moved on to a different position with different wage levels? (3) Is it more a "McCain against women" issue or the actual substance of the bill that makes people angry about this? Thanks for your insight  more

Resolved Question: I am outraged by creeping socialism in the United States. When do we rise up and stop it?

The United States was created because the British unfairly taxed Americans and regulated our ability to practice free-market commerce. But since day one, socialism has gradually eliminated one free market principle after another. Here is but a short list of creeping socialism in the United States: - Socialized education, started in the liberal la-la land of Massachusetts in the 1830’s, creeping in every state by 1870. - The 14th amendment, ratified in 1868, restricts the right of southern plantation owners to follow free market labor principles. - The Sherman Anti-Trust Act of 1890 which limits the ability of businesses to grow freely. Isn't that the goal of business? - A tax on income, the rightfully earned money of the people, created in 1913 by the 16th amendment - The securites acts of 1933 and 1934, which takes away free stock trading by corporate directors, officers, and employees. - The Taft-Hartley Act of 1935, which severely restricts the right of businesses to fire workers who engage in business-killing practices, like strikes or organizing into unions. - The Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938 put severe restrictions on the ability of children to work as they choose, and severely restricts the right of companies to set their own wages with junk like a minimum wage and overtime pay. - The Equal Pay Act of 1963 and The Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967 put even more severe restrictions on the right of companies to set their own wages in a free labor market. Are you as outraged as I am about this erosion of our rights? And all this by a government specifically created by the Founding Fathers to eliminate government intervention into our lives. I say let money trickle down as it theoretically should, instead of getting the government involved just because it happens to trickle up most of the time instead.OK, people, wake up. Are you really against ending slavery, child labor, overtime pay, and unequal pay. It's a joke, people. more

Resolved Question: Why does B. Hussein Obama pay his female workers less than the men?

"Now is the time to keep the promise of equal pay for an equal day's work," Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama said Aug. 28 in his convention acceptance speech. He told the crowd in Denver: "I want my daughters to have exactly the same opportunities as your sons." Obama's campaign website is even more specific. Under the heading "Fighting for Pay Equity," the women's issues page laments that, "Despite decades of progress, women still make only 77 cents for every dollar a man makes. A recent study estimates it will take another 47 years for women to close the wage gap with men at Fortune 500 corporate offices. Barack Obama believes the government needs to take steps to better enforce the Equal Pay Act..." Obama's 28 male staffers divided among themselves total payroll expenditures of $1,523,120. Thus, Obama's average male employee earned $54,397. Obama's 30 female employees split $1,354,580 among themselves, or $45,152, on average. http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/opinion/378772_murdockonline12.html more

Resolved Question: Why shouldn't everyone in a country (maybe in the future the world) receive the exact same pay as another pers?

on? What I mean to say is lets say you want to be a business owner. The reason you should want to be a business owner is because you want to do this. Since your doing this it makes you happy. Just like think like scratching yourself and putting make up you do it freely (ill get to laws soon). So if you want to do it you do it. But lets say you started selling cat food and you made $50 million/year (your company). Then we the people would take this money and add it to the total money made by everyone. If you where an employee or an employer you would get the same salary. So you could be a business owner if people would like your products. I think we as a people would agree on what prices have to be and they would stay the same. Then we can create a government where we all are completely involved. There would be no dictatorship, no president all of us would have the same voting power as the next. In fact we can make this in a form of democracy. Considering we would agree to this “government” (like we supposedly agree in a democracy), we could still have police as a job like we have now and other positions we have now (like fire fighters) . We would all agree on laws like we agree on bills now. So only the people would decide what laws we want, and if the people change there mind then great the laws change. The law system would be complexly an eye for an eye, so actual justice could occur. So if you committed a crime you thought wasn’t a crime then great you would be “punished” with the thing you did. So if thought spitting on people would be ok then you would just be spat on. So if you thought that being a drug dealer is ok then you would also become a drug user. Now if you where a drug user it would be ok because there is no eye for an eye because there is no come back and it is therefore ok. So we can have and let Everyone decide (like referendum or congressman anyway the people would decide which way). The most important factor is that we all would be equal in terms of the law and in terms of access to things. If you are a person with moral ethics then I’m not sure why you don’t believe all men are created equal. If you do, then you shouldn’t (yes shouldn’t not wouldn’t) believe that everyone deserves complete equality. This does not have to be like any source of government. There will not be any leads that have power. We all would have the power. Nobody would get convicted if people thought his act wasn’t a crime because everyone would have the same power. You would not put someone in jail because you would understand that loss of freedmom was not the answer. The key thing to remember is that this source of government would be simple everyone (every single person) would have the same power. There would not be politics like we have today. There would not be a dictatorship, nobody as an individual would create this government we all would do it, so we all would believe it, and it would be the best society out there. Also in your answer can you answer why disagreeing with the fundamental principal of equality is not selfish. See if you believe in an individual then you should also believe in the society. Because the individual is poart of the society, and we all make the society, so every single individual is important to the society. I don’t think any group should be choosing how to run the country or the world, I think we should control it. Now if you say you won’t work well, then so be it. I’m ok with it. You can be as lazy as you want. Great! If that really makes you happy then wonderful, because you’ll be living in this society just like me. And there is even a good chance that you’ll feal guilty and question the meaning of life and contribute. I’m just wondering if people saw and where educated (not propagandized) about the true importance of equality then they just couldn’t say no because then they would fundamentally believe there better then someone and if they did I’d ask them questions like why do you think we should protect you or why do people protect you. Why are odds favoring you, in food health or even life. Why does one die but another lives (in a situation like a mass murder). We say like god help us but we live and others don’t. That’s the whole problem. There is no equality! That’s actually the only problem in society and government. And yes every single right in the constitution (if your thinking USA) would be protected. Well go ahaid, use that wonderful first amendment right granted by open individuals who wanted to limit government corruption (this is not a government this is people creating a society) Nope not a pot smoker. I just know simply that if people believe in unequality, probabims occur., That's exactly why power struggles occur because people wonder why should he have power why was this vote fair, why is he the priest why why why? Equality. The only answer. With it we actually succeed. There is no butchery. Now if you want to be a telemarketer I have no problem, I'll still continue to be who I want to be. Equality as hard as it seems is the only way to succeed and resolve all political / social issues. more

Resolved Question: How can Obama tout equal pay for woman, we he doesn't even believe that himself?

Obama Pays Female Staff Less Than Males While Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama has vowed to make pay equity for women a top priority if elected president, an analysis of his Senate staff shows that women are outnumbered and out-paid by men. That is in contrast to Republican presidential candidate John McCain's Senate office, where women, for the most part, out-rank and are paid more than men. Obama spoke in Albuquerque, N.M. last week about his commitment to the issue and his support of a Senate bill to make it easier to sue an employer for pay discrimination. "Mr. McCain is an honorable man, we respect his service. But when you look at our records and our plans on issues that matter to working women, the choice could not be clearer," Obama told the audience in New Mexico, a voter-swing state. "It starts with equal pay. Sixty-two percent of working women in America earn half or more than of their family's income. But women still earn 77 cents for every dollar earned by men in 2008. You'd think that Washington would be united it its determination to fight for equal pay. " He continued, saying that he is proud to have supported the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Restoration Act, which would extend the limit on how long an employee can wait before suing an employer for pay discrimination. The legislation was named after Lilly Ledbetter, who was a supervisor at Goodyear Tire & Rubber's plant in Gadsden, Ala. She sued for pay discrimination before retiring after 19 years because she had made $6,500 less per year than the lowest paid male supervisor. However, the U.S. Supreme Court threw out her case, saying she waited too long to file a complaint. The court said that under the 1964 Civil Rights Act, an employee must sue within 180 days of a decision regarding pay if alleged discrimination is involved. The bill sought to change the law, but Democrats could not muster the needed 60 votes to override a Republican filibuster. Obama voted for the equal pay litigation bill in April. McCain was campaigning that day and did not vote. But he has expressed opposition to the legislation, fearing it would open the door to too much litigation. On average, women working in Obama's Senate office were paid at least $6,000 below the average man working for the Illinois senator. That's according to data calculated from the Report of the Secretary of the Senate, which covered the six-month period ending Sept. 30, 2007. Of the five people in Obama's Senate office who were paid $100,000 or more on an annual basis, only one -- Obama's administrative manager -- was a woman. The average pay for the 33 men on Obama's staff (who earned more than $23,000, the lowest annual salary paid for non-intern employees) was $59,207. The average pay for the 31 women on Obama's staff who earned more than $23,000 per year was $48,729.91. (The average pay for all 36 male employees on Obama's staff was $55,962; and the average pay for all 31 female employees was $48,729. The report indicated that Obama had only one paid intern during the period, who was a male. ) McCain, an Arizona senator, employed a total of 69 people during the reporting period ending in the fall of 2007, but 23 of them were interns. Of his non-intern employees, 30 were women and 16 were men. After excluding interns, the average pay for the 30 women on McCain's staff was $59,104.51. The 16 non-intern males in McCain's office, by comparison, were paid an average of $56,628.83. The Obama campaign did not respond to written questions submitted on the matter Thursday by Cybercast News Service . During his Albuquerque speech, Obama criticized McCain for supporting the Supreme Court ruling on the pay-equity issue. "Sen. McCain thinks the Supreme Court got it right," Obama said. "He opposed the Fair Pay Restoration Act. He suggested that the reason women don't have equal pay isn't discrimination on the job - it's because they need more education and training. That's just totally wrong. " Obama continued, "Lilly Ledbetter's problem was not that she was somehow unqualified or unprepared for higher-paying positions. She most certainly was and by all reports was an excellent employee. Her problem was that her employer paid her less than men doing the exact same work. "  more

Resolved Question: What are your thoughts on this (part 9)?

Support Working Families Provide a "Making Work Pay" Tax Cut for America's Working Families: Obama will restore fairness to the tax code and provide 150 million workers the tax relief they need. Obama will create a new "Making Work Pay" tax credit of up to $500 per person, or $1,000 per working family. The "Making Work Pay" tax credit will completely eliminate income taxes for 10 million Americans. Raise the Minimum Wage to $9.50 an Hour by 2011: Barack Obama believes that people who work full time should not live in poverty. Before the Democrats took back Congress, the minimum wage had not changed in 10 years. Even though the minimum wage will rise to $9.50 an hour by 2011, the minimum wage's real purchasing power will still be below what it was in 1968. As president, Obama will further raise the minimum wage, index it to inflation and increase the Earned Income Tax Credit to make sure that full-time workers can earn a living wage that allows them to raise their families and pay for basic needs such as food, transportation, and housing -- things so many people take for granted. Expand the Earned Income Tax Credit: In both the Illinois State Senate and the U.S. Senate, Obama has championed efforts to expand the EITC, which is one of the most successful anti-poverty programs to date. As president, Obama will reward work by increasing the number of working parents eligible for EITC benefits, increasing the benefit available to parents who support their children through child support payments, and reducing the EITC marriage penalty which hurts low-income families. Under the Obama plan, full-time workers making minimum wage would get an EITC benefit up to $555, more than three times greater than the $175 benefit they get today. If the workers are responsibly supporting their children on child support, the Obama plan would give those workers a benefit of $1,110. Expand Paid Sick Days: Half of all private sector workers have no paid sick days and the problem is worse for employees in low-paying jobs, where less than a quarter receive any paid sick days. Barack Obama will require that employers provide seven paid sick days per year. Expand the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA): The FMLA covers only certain employees of employers with 50 or more employees. Barack Obama will expand the FMLA to cover businesses with 25 or more employees. Barack Obama will expand the FMLA to cover more purposes as well, including allowing workers to take leave for elder care needs; allowing parents up to 24 hours of leave each year to participate in their children's academic activities at school; allowing leave to be taken for purposes of caring for individuals who reside in their home for 6 months or more; and expanding FMLA to cover leave for employees to address domestic violence and sexual assault. Encourage States to Adopt Paid Leave: As president, Barack Obama will initiate a 50 state strategy to encourage all of the states to adopt paid-leave systems. Obama will provide a $1.5 billion fund to assist states with start-up costs and to help states offset the costs for employees and employers. Expand High-Quality Afterschool Opportunities: Barack Obama will double funding for the main federal support for afterschool programs, the 21st Century Learning Centers program, to serve one million more children. Obama will include measures to maximize performance and effectiveness across grantees nationwide. Expand the Child and Dependent Care Tax Credit: The Child and Dependent Care Tax Credit provides too little relief to families that struggle to afford child care expenses. Barack Obama will reform the Child and Dependent Care Tax Credit by making it refundable and allowing low-income families to receive up to a 50 percent credit for their child care expenses. Protect Against Caregiver Discrimination: Workers with family obligations often are discriminated against in the workplace. Barack Obama will commit the government to enforcing recently-enacted Equal Employment Opportunity Commission guidelines on caregiver discrimination. Expand Flexible Work Arrangements: Barack Obama will address this concern by creating a program to inform businesses about the benefits of flexible work schedules for productivity and establishing positive workplaces; helping businesses create flexible work opportunities; and increasing federal incentives for telecommuting. Obama will also make the federal government a model employer in terms of adopting flexible work schedules and permitting employees to petition to request flexible arrangements. For more information about Barack Obama's plan to help more Americans succeed in the workforce, please visit the Economic Policy page. Strengthen Our Schools Expand Early Childhood Education: Obama has been a champion of early childhood education since his years in the Illinois legislature, where he led the effort to create the Illinois Early Learning Council. Obama has introduced No "almost" to it, I have it down perfectly. No real responses? No real debate on this issue? Or are some voters just going on how they feel about the candidates or parties? Come on people, this election is important. At least TRY to make an informed choice.Programs that will be cut will be the 10 billion dollars a month that goes to Iraq. more

Resolved Question: How would women benefit from anti-feminism? What if we got rid of "equality" legislation since the 1960's?

What would happen if we got rid of all the legislation related to equal pay, sexual harassment, equal education, pregnancy discrimination, paternal/maternal employment leave, marital rape, and violence against women, that have been passed since 1960-how would women (and men) benefit from anti-feminism? This would be some of the legislation that would be erased: 1963 The Equal Pay Act passes, requiring equal wages for women and men doing equal work. It is the first federal law prohibiting sex discrimination. 1964 The Federal Civil Rights Act passes, including Title VII, which guarantees equal opportunity in employment. Title VII is the statutory basis not only for equal opportunity and sex discrimination cases, but, as a subset of the latter, sexual harassment cases as well. The Civil Rights Act creates the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission to enforce workplace equality. 1972 Title IX of the Education Amendments Act passes, guaranteeing equal access to academic and athletic resources regardless of gender. 1975 Congress opens U.S. military academies to women 1978 The Pregnancy Discrimination Act becomes federal law, recognizing that discrimination on the basis of pregnancy is discrimination on the basis of sex. The PDA guarantees pregnant women who are capable of working the right to do so, identical to employees with other, but similar, medical conditions. The Act also mandates that employers provide the same benefits to women at any stage of pregnancy, delivery, or recovery from delivery when they are medically unable to work as to all other employees with temporarily disabling conditions. It also forbids workplace discrimination against women based on the mere possibility of pregnancy. 1993 The Family & Medical Leave Act becomes law, based on the research and policy initiatives prepared by the Women's Law and Public Policy Fellowship class of 1985-86. President Bill Clinton selects the FMLA to be the first legislation signed in his presidency. President George Bush had twice vetoed similar bills. 1993 All 50 states make it illegal to rape your spouse. 1994 Passage of the federal Violence Against Women Act creates penalties for interstate stalking and other gender-based crime.  more

Resolved Question: Can someone answer these questions about Obama's speech?

In last night's speech, Obama said the following: (APPLAUSE) Now is the time to help families with paid sick days and better family leave, because nobody in America should have to choose between keeping their job and caring for a sick child or an ailing parent. Now is the time to change our bankruptcy laws, so that your pensions are protected ahead of CEO bonuses, and the time to protect Social Security for future generations. And now is the time to keep the promise of equal pay for an equal day’s work, because I want my daughters to have the exact same opportunities as your sons. (APPLAUSE) 1) Didn't Bill Clinton past the Family Leave Act that gave you sick days and guaranteed your job should you have to leave for an extended illness? 2) Didn't Obama's running mate Joe Biden support the current Bankruptcy act that Bush signed? So he and Joe are at odd over this? For the record, Biden's home state famously holds the incorporation papers of large credit card and financial services companies. He obviously knows how his bread is buttered in Delaware, which means a "profile in courage" by 'ol Joe on the bankruptcy bill was out of the question. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/jackson-williams/joe-biden-true-friend-of_b_120776.html 3) How is Obama going to "protect Social Security for future generations"? Again, just words in a speech and again no details. To me this means that the FICA tax is going up again. Will the promises to raise taxes ever stop? Also what is wrong with privitizing Social Security? The Public Employee Retirement Service is a private organization and they can pass want they put into it along to their children. If it is good enough for Obama and crew, why can't you and I do this? 4) The equal pay issue. How is he going to do this? Most women that I have worked with make less money not because they don't do equal work, its because she and the husband decided to have children. So she ends up off for a year or two or five before they come back to work. Thus the man who has been working gets raises, while she is taking care of the kids. Anyone care to talk about this? On topic 4, I am a pig I guess. But here is the law: The Equal Pay Act of 1963 and Title VII of the Civil Rights Act protect workers against wage discrimination. The Equal Pay Act of 1963 prohibits unequal pay to men and women who perform the same job. Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 prohibits wage discrimination on the basis of race, color, sex, religion or national origin. In 1981, the Supreme Court made it clear that Title VII is broader than the Equal Pay Act, and prohibits wage discrimination even when the jobs are not identical. However, wage discrimination laws are poorly enforced and cases are extremely difficult to prove and win. Stronger legislation is needed to address wage discrimination. So basically what it sounds like we need stronger enforcement of the "Equal pay law", now more laws dealing with equal pay. Come on people, think! Also see this article: http://www.three-peaks.net/equalpay.htmOh by the way, I know many women that make 10 times more than I do who work for General Electric. However they are working 80 hour weeks, working until 4 AM, and traveling all over the place. Their husband are the ones making far less than their spouse because they have the high flying career. I would be happy to be a kept man.What are people saying about the speech: Charles Davilla, a retired aircraft engineer and Democrat from Downey, California, said that while Obama said some of ``the things I wanted to hear,'' he ``didn't say how he was going to accomplish them.'' more

Resolved Question: Heres why people should stop waistin there time on the Equal pay act. Long read but worth it. Opinions please?

Do women get paid less because they are women.....really. If so why don't they sue there employee for sex discrimination ? My opinion there will always be a wage gap. Women drop out and come back in the work force WAayy MMore than guys. Sometime women drop out for years. Most women wouldnt think twice about being a stay at home mom/dropping out job once they have a kid. For women that don't have a kid yet men tend to make more still because they more aggressive negotiators in interview and year reviews. More women seem to not know they can negotiate or just to scared to and just accept the offer that handed to them( By the way Im not saying all men know how to negotiate just more men do it than women). Also even if there starting to be more and more single parent homes there still WAYYY more financial pressure on men. Either they have to pay Child support, thinking he's going to have to CARRY he's family once he has one, impress women and etc.All guys or even women don't get paid the same if they have the same job, same experience, same degree as there co-worker. Don't you people see, that shit gets you a interview THATS IT. Hard work, dependability, and negotiation gets you more money. Your not going to get more money if your not all of these three attributes. Its just unfortunate for alot of women that cant be dependable(because of pregnancy and/or family before work attitude) What do yall think ?Just imagine have the same creds as ya co-worker but they take more time off than U and doesn't work hard he just gets by. AND HE'S GETTING PAID THE SAME AS U.........Not fair I say. That what equal pay act will do. What do yall thing ladies and gents ? We have to stop waisting time on Equal pay for equal work it's never going to happen there always be a WAGE GAP.....ALWAYS.Lastly, Im not talking about all women by the way, a nice handful get it and they are succeeding in there fields. Some men dont get it and there failing and making less money than their co-worker. Work both ways more

Resolved Question: Why would a woman Vote for McCain?

McCain has voted consistently against women's health, and he supports overturning the landmark U.S. Supreme Court ruling, Roe v. Wade. Following is a summary of his positions on women's issues. McCain Opposed Equal Pay Bill for Women, Said They ‘Need Education and Training’ Instead. McCain skipped a vote on the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act that would ensure women have the opportunity to recover back pay for discrimination once they discover it. If he had been there to vote, he said he would have voted against it and that women “need education and training” rather than an equal pay bill. The bill addressed a recent Supreme Court decision that said Steelworker Lilly Ledbetter could not recover back pay for 19 years of discrimination at Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co. because she had not discovered the unequal pay until she retired. The bill would amend the 1964 Civil Rights Act to allow employees to file charges of pay discrimination within 180 days of the last received paycheck affected by the discrimination. [Source: aflcio.org; H.R. 2831, Vote 110, 4/23/08; Associated Press, 4/28/08] McCain Voted to Gut the Family and Medical Leave Act. In 1993, before finally voting for the Family and Medical Leave Act, McCain voted to jeopardize leave for millions of workers by gutting the bill. He voted to suspend the Family and Medical Leave Act unless the federal government certified that compliance would not increase business expenses or provide financial assistance to businesses to cover any related costs. [Source: aflcio.org S.Amdt. 16, S. 5, Vote 7, 2/4/93; H.R. 1, Vote 11, 2/4/93] Source for the following information: Planned Parenthood McCain opposed spending $100 million to prevent unintended and teen pregnancies. In 2005, McCain voted NO to allocate $100 million to expand access to preventive health care services that reduce the numbers of unintended and teen pregnancies and reduce the number of abortions. McCain opposed legislation requiring that abstinence-only programs be medically accurate and scientifically based. McCain voted NO on legislation that would help reduce the number of teen pregnancies by providing funding for programs to teach comprehensive, medically accurate sexuality education and other programs to prevent unintended teen pregnancies. McCain opposed Title X, the nation's family planning program. In 1990, McCain voted NO on legislation to extend the Title X federal family planning program, which provides low-income and uninsured women and families with health care services ranging from breast and cervical cancer screening to birth control. McCain opposed requiring insurance coverage of prescription birth control. In 2003, McCain voted NO on legislation to improve the availability of contraceptives for women and to require insurance coverage of prescription birth control. McCain opposes comprehensive sex education. In an interview aboard the "Straight Talk Express," McCain struggled to answer questions about comprehensive sex education and HIV prevention. He also stated that he supported "the president's policy" on sex education. McCain unsure where he stands on government funding for contraception. "Whether I support government funding for them or not, I don't know," McCain said about contraceptives. McCain opposed repealing the "global gag rule." In 2005, McCain voted NO on legislation to overturn the "global gag rule," which bars foreign nongovernmental organizations from receiving U.S. family planning assistance if the organization (using its own, non-U.S. funds) provides abortion services or information or advocates for pro-choice laws and policies in its own country. McCain supports overturning Roe v. Wade. In February 2007, the AP quoted McCain stating, "I do not support Roe v. Wade. It should be overturned." In May 2007, he reiterated his desire to overturn Roe v. Wade during an appearance on Meet the Press stating, "My position has been consistently in my voting record, pro-life, and I continue to maintain that position and voting record."Abortion is an explosive topic However Equal Pay is common sense an McCain is against it, a Vote for Mccain is a vote to take a step backward in Womens rightsActually My question is what it is, I saw something I didn't understand and I "questioned it" I don't work for any campaign and my life will probably be the same on 1/21/09 as it is today.I am not sexist so care if it's a Man or a Woman and I am not Racist so i don't care if it's a Black or White I want the Job Done right by someone who knows he works for us and not the other way around, That can't happen with an "entitled" president. more

Resolved Question: Grandmaster Trovador Ramos Sr. is the only 1 beat the legendary Bruce Lee in sparring (Hong Kong) during 70's.

TRACMA_INTERNATIONAL_TASK_FORCE@yahoogroups.com TRACMA was a Filipino self-made Consolidated Martial Arts.The styles and techniques of which was founded by the only as yet Filipino Fourteen (14 ) degree Red Belt Master Trovador R. Ramos Sr.who was internationally recognized and acclaimed Master Trovador successfully was able to re-establish the worth of the filipinos through unbearable endurance,self- discipline, sacrifices and willfull determination that can equate and stand out over the world famous Martial Arts experts in terms of skills,talents and ability. He believed that there was always a room for improvement and endeavoured to develop his self-defense knowledge,which he inherited from his grandfather' s clan,whom were all exponents of sports in their prime days.he painstakingly analyzed,evaluated and modified every movement and step to give it a more rewarding effect in its inflictions and defense. A foretaste of his efforts was realized in his hometown at San Antonio,Zambales wherein his first gym was stablished.Martial Arts enthusiast from all over the fourteen towns of Zambales,overwhelmi ngly surged to his gym to learn the art and enlist as student/members. The art spread like a wild fire.Thus,he was recommended and personally was asked to teach TRACMA at the near-by-bases. Master Trovador was hired as the Chief Instructor Of Martial Arts at the US Naval Base namely in San Miguel Navy Radio Station and in Subic Bay in 1961,together with the US Naval Security Department-Uniform Guard Chief Capt.Andy Cascante,being appointed by Master Trovador as the Administrator of TRACMA,the Olongapo gym was organized.It was followed by another one in Pampanga,then in Tarlac,then in Pangasinan and way up to Baguio City.All of each gym on different places had an assigned trained and qualified instructors through the recommendation of Capt.Cascante. And this is where and how the Master/Founder came to know the Administrator, who also became his good friend. The established gyms and it's members were named "D'Invincibles" ,because of its aim to train only on gaining friends and did ways with enmity.It had justified the group for logically saying "One knows not of defeat when he has an enemy".Thus, Master Trovador had the opportunity to have personally met several world reknown Martial Arts Experts,such as Karate,Taekwondo, Judo,Aikido and many other self-defense groups in the Base,whom all earned their rank and belt from different foreign countries.To their surprise,they merely turned dull-rats and sluggish when faced and tried by only student beginners of Master Trovador.And because of this,frequent invitation was extended to him to lecture and demonstrate on board ships as a Civilian US Navy Martial Arts Instructor on a Temporary Additional Duty.This had made him saw several places in the world possible.And the most frequent question asked to him was on what/which book or where his art was acquired.With the humility and with a smile,he explained that such forms could not as yet be found on any bookfor it was personally developed and consolidated by him. Mr.Teddy Halper,the 1956 World Champion Of International Real Combat,in his capacity as head of the World Reasearch on Martial Arts and Education and World Authority Consultant on Real Combat studied TRACMA's art.After thorough and careful evaluation of the Filipino Martial Art Instructor's knowledge,agility, skills,technique s and ability,he then awarded and vested him the title which all of Mr.Halper's staff concurring,the "fourteen ( 14 ) Degree Redbelt Master". He decided to legalized the introduction of his self-made Consolidated Martial Arts for official recognition after returning from his duty on TAD order(Temporary Additional Duty).Authoring it's operation,he organized a non-stock corporation and called it the "international Real Combat Judo-Karate Organization" under Sec No.36882 on Nov.25,1968. He then gave birth the recognition of Filipino Martial Arts'in the country. The Philippine Karate Association (PKA)was also formed in 1970 and thinking that Master Trovador's organization was also a karate group,they listed it as a member of the formed PKA subjecting it under their leadership,laws and regulations. Master Trovador then vehemently with tact and humility objected and appealed to the PKA Secretary Atty.Jesus P.Arino.Sr. 1.That his founded Martial Arts was a self-made style and technique.Not Copied from any foreign Martial Arts.It's obviously very different in many ways from that of Karate which was an art form that originated and introduced by a foreign country. 2.That the self-made art of the Founder was already established and had proven supremacy and effeciency in several parts of the world where it has been accepted,acknowledg ed,respected and adopted as the Filipino Martial Art,and that it has already one hundred ninety seven (197) branches that had been organized outside of the philippines. 3.That to accept subordination and/or membership under Karate,a Foreign Martial Arts in the Philippines, is a disgraced and discriminationto the Filipinos and to the Republic of the Philippines. It could also degrade the Filipino Master/Founder who already had sacrificed unbearable time and efforts in his founded art's upliftment that required not only acknowledgement and respect,but also recognition on it's supremacy and efficacy above many other Martial Arts. 4.That it's name recorded in the Security and Exchange Commision was given to show due respect to the world organization of Mr.Teddy Halper,who awarded Master Trovador his present title and degree.It did not meant that it was a part of the Karate Association. Karate was merely a tiny part of the Filipino Consolidated Martial Arts and should not therefore,and in any sense of justice, fall under or to subordinate it to any foreign Martial Arts. Then Master Trovador finally decided and resolved the confusion by renaming it as "TRACMA".It did not carry the previous listed members under the non-stock organization and also primarily avoided all who were dropped out for non-participation and obvious disinterest to the group as well as those who did not kept in touch with the Founder for the last six (6) or more years. TRACMA Promotions was then formed.it was approved by the Bureau of Domestic Trade of the Philippine Under B.D.T.Cert.of Registration No.0141/77 and a B.D.T.Provincial Cert.No.P.76/ 13772 was issued to continue it's operations legally. TRACMA was anTherefore acronym for Trovador Ramos Consolidated Martial Arts.Therefore, its proper,wise and fitting to know more of the Filipino Founder in order to fully visualize the evaluation of it's significance and entirely. The Founder was likewise a professional musician.And after leaving his US Navy Civilian job as Chief Instructor,he travelled with his brothers,who were also all musicians,with an aim to earn and pursue the global recognizance of his founded Martial Arts.He established gyms in all the places he went up to.Slowly,but with wilfull determinations, the Founder courageously hurdled and surpassed all of the countless rival resentment and odds triumphantly. His tactful and friendly approached had paid off effectively. All those who opposed and confronted him,one after the other,accepted their defeat and fell on to his aide.His safe and constructive method was sincerely shown and the interest for their behalves was proven by actual efficacy of Master Trovador's art.And with this,he gained their respect and acknowledgement for his art's Mastership supremacy.They vowede down to him and submitted themselves under his tutorship and proudly adopted TRACMA as their choice of Martial Arts. HongKong was not different to all these places in the Fareast that the Master/Founder had been to.In fact,it was where he met so many challenges that gave him the limelight break to popularity.HongKong was not only an oen port,but was also a creamy melting spot for relaxation that invigoratingly invited the world noted Martial Arts Expert to converge and domicile. With the tide in favor of the Master/Founder and perhaps with lady-luck on his side,he unmolestedly proven the strength of his friendly and tactful approaches.He showed with ease the supremacy of his founded art to whomever confronted him.This had boosted his personality and his name became an epitome and by word of so many Martial Arts Experts who have tried and accepted his Mastership. Then one afternoon,the late world famous movie action star,Mr.Bruce Lee,whom in real life was an acclaimed International Martial Arts expert uninvited,visited Master Trovador.With evident curiousity and obvious intent to try the fast rising Filipino Martial Arts Master,the chinese action star challenged Master Trovador very tactfully.And on pretext of the game Mr.Lee wished to warm up nd invited anyone in the gym to try and fight with him. Mr.Lee,being an international figure and celebrity,aside from being a Chinese Martial Art Idol,is a very respected man,thus,no one dared to accept the challenge.And with countless avid fans in addition to so many media men,camera men and movie personalities whom were always following him,so many people witnessed that event.The Filipino Master had no alternative but to oblige to protect the prestige and image of his founded art for his gym's respectability, for his member's moral,for the pride of the Filipinos as a whole and for honour to his country,the Republic of the Philippines. Together with all those people around him and those who believed and supported in his invincibility, Mr.Lee's superb fighting speed,knowledge and agility had made him over confident.Master Trovador,on the other hand,had that equalled timing,guilful defenses and counters that kept him unperturbed by human opinion.Both started with great confidensed and it was actually the audience whom visibly showed worriness than excitement of the sparring's result. The Filipino Master's dynamic sportmanship and professionalism however,prevented the would be most embarassing position and unmendabledisgraced of the famous Chinese Action Movie Star.Instead of subduing Mr.Lee,which obviously could have been easily done,Master Trovador caught the Chinese Actor's fall twice and with out an attempt to inflict a blow.He vowede to signify his desire to put an end in the worthless sparring in cognizance in the Martial Arts Master especially in an official sport fighting. Master Trovador delightfully amazed all with his scientific and perfect timing,thwarting with case and beauty of Mr.Lee's all out efforts of attack with lightning speed and agility which resulted in vainglory. He could have won and done it with all the justification in the book,but he would just be creating an untoward feeling among the Chinese followers or perhaps eighty percent (80%)of the HongKong Chinese population who loved and idolized Mr.Lee.He then signalled the Chinese Action Movie Star to stop the fight and was gladly acknowledge. In return out of gratitude,Mr. Lee loudly announced that his main purpose at the gym was not to challenge Master Trovador nor sar with him but to offer him a good role and be a part of his forth coming movie entitled "Enter The Dragon". They received thunderous applauses and both became good friends.however, the offer was later turned down tactfully in the interest of preserving Filipino Prestige,ego and principles.Neverthe less,Mr.Lee requested to Master Trovador to teach him some routines to use in another movie productions to be filmed entirely in Italy,which was entitled "The rhythm Man",named after Master Trovador's perfect rhythm and timing.He was then recognized as Bruce Lee's coach.Unfortunately ,the Chinese famous Action Star's untimely death shattered the realization of the said film. Amazingly,an American Producer of Pan Asia Movie Production was one of those who witnessed the sparring of the two Martial Arts Experts and offered Master Trovador a directorial action job in his company.It was a shining oppurtunity to once more further the expansion of the Filipino Martial Arts,inspite of the monitorial meagerness,compared to that of Bruce Lee's offer which he turned down politely,the Founder readily accepted the offer. He went with the company to so many places in the world,directing action portions and also acting when giving an important and good role to play.This likewise made possible the establishment of TRACMA's gyms in so many places in the world.And made TRACMA a legend etched a deep in history never to be oblitarated that members distinguished it with pride and honor,worth of the highest quality to preserve. Master Trovador returned back as well polished movie star and was offered to do so several chinese action movies on which some where box office record grosser in japan,Australia and several place in the world.Then a Filipino producer of a certain movie outfit met Master Trovador in Hongkong and offered him to make a movie in the Philippines. "The Redbelt Master" which earned him for the first time,acceptance and cognizance in the movie world of his own country after working at many foreign movies.And another offer came in promptly."Sandugo" ,which was a top grosser.Then it was followed by the "Big Fist" that made him stay in the Philippines a little longer. In support to a Presidential Decree No.604 in 1975 at this juncture,the Inc's Nation Wide Development of Sports and Physical Fitness Program decided then that TRACMA art be nationally adopted.It was not because the Master/Founder was a brethren of good standing but due to it's high degree of choice in it's development program and fervent nationalistic support. Aware of the officers significance, Master Trovador happily accepted and regarded it as another challenge whether he could once more stand out in terms of leadership dynamism.To ascertain a resounding success,he stayed in the country for a couple of years to oversea the establishment of TRACMA schools and nationwide teaching for the interest of his country and fellow filipinos. After a while,Master Trovador continued his career in the music world as a Musical Director in Hong Kong.Aside from his high paying job in the music industry,he still continued teaching TRACMA.And beacuse of his greatness in the art,countless people of a new batch registered to him as a student of TRACMA. Being one of the pioneer brethren of the INC in Hongkong,Master Trovador assisted on establishing a locale in the country and congregate worship services.He actively participated in the Kowloon Locale being one of the officer and even becoming the Head Deacon. Then Master Trovador met Mr.Roger Boschman,an INC member,who is also an exponent and an ardent lover of Martial Arts.The two became good friends.Mr.Boschman eventually studied and learned TRACMA.With great appreciation and high regard to TRACMA's art and especially to the Master/Founder, Mr.Boschman, together with Master/Founder Trovador and Administrator Capt.Cascante, agreed and got together and pursued the revitalization of TRACMA.Thus, on April 24,1988 TRACMA World Wide FEDERATION as registered in Hong Kong with Master Trovador Ramos Sr. as the Founder/President and titular head and Mr.Roger Boschman as the Chairman & Chief Executive Officer.However, Capt.Andy Cascante was still the International Consultant/Adviser and managed TRACMA PROMOTIONS in the Philippines nation-wide, it was later on re-registered as Philippines TRACMA World Wide. In 1988,Mater Trovador's two youngest children came to HongKong to study.The opportunity that his children were there enabled him to upgrade the teaching of TRACMA to them.His youngest son Trovador A.Ramos Jr. or James as they call him and his youngest daughter Lyrabelle A.Ramos or simply Lyra to them,learned fast and well.Thus,when both acquired Black Belt,they were officiated by Mater Trovador as instructors. Although Lyra concentrated on the level of administrative, James on the other hand actively trained the TRACMA students and pursued on to a higher belt and earned the title of 8th Degree Black Belt. Then in 1992,Cathay Pacific Airlines,an internationallly acclaimed commercial airline company in HongKong,contracted TRACMA to teach Consolidated Martial Arts Techniques to all it's Pilots,Flight Attendants and Management Team.The teaching and training took place in the gym of the Cathay Pacific Building near the Kai Tak (old) Airport.With the personal supervision of Master Trovador,this deal was done and administered by James and Lyra.Aside from their regular training of forms,they developed the Cathay employees alertness/rediness and fast adaptation to crucial situation in line of duty and had provided Special anti-hijacking Training Course more

Resolved Question: Why do Republicans believe that women shouldn't earn Equal Pay for Equal Work?

Lilly Ledbetter was an employee at Goodyear. For 18 years, she was paid less than her male peers for doing exactly the same work. But she didn't find that out until she had only 2 years until retirement, when she got an anonymous letter. She sued under the discrimination laws. She won all the way up to the Supreme Court, which voted against her. Their ruling was based on a part of the law that said a person should file within 180 days of the discriminatory event, and said that event was when her pay was originally set lower, some 20 years ago, so she was "untimely". Her argument that each paycheck was a continuation of that discriminatory policy fell on deaf ears. Congress introduced the "Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act" as a way of correcting that flawed ruling. It passed the house with flying colors, but was blocked by the Republicans in the Senate. Even McCain said he would have voted against it. So why do Republicans think that women are not worth as much as men?More info: McCain said he would have voted against it because it would have caused more lawsuits. Except the right to ask a court for redress of a wrong caused by discrimination is a basic legal principle. Also, the Supreme Court's ruling basically says that pay discrimination is only illegal for the first 6-months of starting a job. After that, it's perfectly fine. How many people know what everyone else in the company makes when they first start their new job? Hillary and Obama voted FOR the proposed law. The Supreme Court vote was 5-4, with all conservatives voting against Ms. Ledbetter. Ginsberg wrote a scathing rebuttal!Bite Me: Here's the text. Pretty straightforward. And no, it wasn't loaded with other stuff in the Senate. http://www.govtrack.us/congress/billtext.xpd?bill=h110-2831Paulie: McCain was against it. http://www.wtop.com/?nid=213&sid=1392352Snowwebs: You are correct only to a point. In the government and military there is a structured system of pay. In private sector jobs, there is not. Even in "minimum wage jobs" women can earn less based on other factors which are also legally part of "pay", like benefits, leave, retirement, etc... And since Ledbetter won all the way up to the Supreme Court, her case was legally valid. The Court didn't rule that she wasn't discriminated against, but split the legal hair that she didn't file in time.John C: You are right, they looked at when she filed the case. Prior to this ruling, the legally accepted practice was that every paycheck would re-set the clock because it is a continuation of the discriminatory action; every time she got her pay, it was less than her male peers, so she was discriminated against again. The court shot that down. But when you start a new job, do you know what everyone else makes, just to see if you are being discriminated against? What would happen to you if you asked for everyone's salary so you could check? How would you ever know?Eskimo Mom: See my post to John C above. The statute of limitations in this case is 6 months. Think of when you FIRST started your job. Would you have even known to ask for the list of everyone's salaries? And what would you have said if you did, "because I want to see if I'm being discriminated against"? What would have happened to you? Would you even have been employed after 6 months? It's just not realistic in today's workforce.pachl@sb: Your example is off-base. This case is about a woman doing the exact same work as the men; not an unequal "distribution" of work, but the exact SAME duties and responsibilities. And yes, I am talking about one example...but it's an example of CLEAR discrimination against women. I don't call that "measly". I call that illegal! more

Resolved Question: Who are Responsible for Backwardness of Tribal ?

Who are Responsible for Backwardness of Tribal ? India has been home to tribals since time immemorial, and they are naturally considered the original inhabitants of India. Their rich history and culture have provided tribes such as Santhal, Munda, Bhil, Meena, Ho Gond and others a distinct identity at the national and international level. The tribal areas of Rajasthan have been home to many tribes such as Bhil, Meena, Bhil-Meena, Damor and Garasia since ancient times. The tribes of Rajasthan have a history full of splendour and valor, and are thus famous for it. The tribal kings established their own kingdoms across the Rajputana. For instance, Dungaria Bhil had Dungarpur, Bansia (Vishna) Bhil had Banswara. Kotia Bhil had Kota, Jetasi Bhil had Abu as their kingdoms, which now constitute districts along these names in modern Rajasthan. Besides, Maharana Pratap, the great Rajputana warrior, had a Bhil warrior as his commander-in-chief, who is still revered by one and all. However, the tribal people have been victim of social, economic and religious discrimination and exploitation notwithstanding their rich history. They have been deprived of education, have been socially looked down upon and rejected, have been made to serve as bonded labour: a fact that has been time and again accepted, officially and unofficially, by politicians, social workers and scholars alike. Jansatta, a Hindi daily, in a news report headlined, “Kendra Anusuchit Jaati-Janjaati ke Liye Vishesh Tantra aur Kanoon Banane ke Paksh Mein” (Centre in Favour of Framing a Special System and Law for Scheduled Castes and Tribes), quoted Union Social Welfare and Empowerment Minister Meera Kumar as saying that more than 16 crore people in India still suffer from the scourge of untouchability. According to Union Home Minister Shivraj Patil, the scheduled castes and tribes are discriminated against even after six decades of India’s independence and affirmative action is needed to change this. In a similar vein, Union Law Minister Hansraj Bharadwaj has maintained that the victims of excesses are paid only lip service. The law minister further said that the discrimination against scheduled castes and tribes should be stemmed at the grassroots level and unless we as a nation change our thinking, these excesses will continue. Usually, non-tribals are held responsible for the backwardness, excesses on and exploitation of tribals. There is some truth to this generalization. But then are the non-tribals only to be blamed for tribal backwardness? Actually, if anybody has to be blamed for tribal backwardness it has to be tribals only. The facts speak for themselves. Take for instance the tribal subplan area of Rajasthan. As the sarpanch, pradhan, district board chairman, all are in most of the cases tribals of this area, so are the MLA, MP and tribal minister who invariably belong to this area. This only shows that they are well represented in governing and legislative bodies, and with a population of about 35 lakh they are not few in numbers. Yet, the common tribal is still struggling to make both ends meet even after 59 years of Independence, and only the tribal politicians, leaders, officials and employees and the youth can be blamed for the backwardness of the tribal society as they together have failed to discharge their responsibility toward their own community. Here, we will explore all this one by one. 1Role of Tribal Politicians As we all know, tribals face social, economic and religious exploitation and excesses which brings the role of tribal politicians into question because they have failed to tackle these problems by mobilizing the community into a movement. The main reason of this failure on their part is the lack of leadership among the tribal community. In addition, after Independence the community panchayats have been usurped by party politics, which has become a bane of the tribal society. The party politics has divided the tribal society into various party ideologies. As a result, most of the tribal leaders, instead of making the tribal development and upliftment their objective, only fulfill their political ambitions. Most of the tribal leaders work to mobilize crowds for their party rallies. They seldom work toward solving the problems of the community. Consequently, even after a period of 59 years, there has been a lack of programmes and schemes to put a planned and special area like the “Adivasi Upyojana Kshetra” (Tribal Subplan Area) on the path of development for the overall development of the tribal community. Of the 150 most backward districts of the country covered under the Food For Work Programme, three districts of Udaipur, Dungarpur and Banswara fall in Rajasthan where the government has to undertake famine relief every year. This only shows that this area has remained still backward because of which many villages lack even basic amenities like drinking water and electricity, there is a lack of irrigation facilities, transport and communication facilities. The tribals of these areas may be found wandering in states like Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, Delhi to make ends meet. Most of the tribals are unable to benefit from government and non-government run employment schemes for the lack of information and rampant corruption. When some tribal politicians, rising above party politics, dare raise the issues concerning the development of tribals, they are accused of promoting casteism, and their party concerned retaliates by downsizing their political stature and putting checks on them. The threat of denial of tickets for the next elections is the most potent one that makes the tribal leaders helpless. Furthermore, there is no dearth of talented people among tribals, but they are being divided gradually along party lines and social groupings, and they are engaged in pulling down each other and fulfilling their political ambitions. This has only harmed the interests of the tribal society. It has been observed that the tribal leaders from southern Rajasthan have little grip over in the government administration. Lack of education, no influential positions in political parties, lack of awareness about constitutional provisions and rights, lack of information on development programmes and procedures of government departments are some of the reasons for this. The tribal leaders are worried only about their own future and work as yes man of their political masters, to the detriment of the larger interests of the tribal society. 2.Role of Tribal Officials and Employees Tribals living in Rajasthan’s Adivasi Upyojana Area have very low representation in government administration in comparison to non-tribals. They have little representation in Rajasthan administrative services. For instance, out of 600 recruitments so far done for tribals in state RAS and RTS, only 15—that is 2.5 percent were recruited from southern Rajasthan, and only 3 tribals have made it to Rajasthan administrative services. The tribals of this region have never made it to the Indian Administrative Services even after 59 years of Independence. In other words, there are only a handful of tribal officials and employees from this region. And most among these work under pressure and fear, and they never participate in various activities conducted for the prevention of excesses and exploitation perpetrated on tribal society. Keeping in mind that they have raise their children, they think they would work for their community after they retire from job. This is how the tribal officials and employees have failed in discharging their duty toward their society. But when they smell an opportunity to become MLA and MP, they are seen running around for tickets, in other words, they want to become politicians but not social workers. These officials and employees have little interaction with their community members. Most of them have become city dwellers, and they never encourage their children to participate in social and religious activities of their community. In other words, they fail to discharge their responsibility toward their community. The tribal officials and employees posted in this area have to face immense pressure from their political masters and have to work under fear as they are transferred by the politicians to serve their party interests and personal ambitions. This fear keeps them from participating in social development activities. They are thus unable to bring awareness among their fellow tribesmen and set an example before the youth. They only bid their time while waiting to complete their service period. But when they retire it is too late as they are unable to contribute anything substantial toward their community. 3.Role of Tribal Youth Owing to their poor economic condition, most of the tribals send their children to government schools and hostel. Needless to say the government educational institutions are ill-equipped to provide quality education to their wards. For instance, they don’t have qualified teachers in enough numbers, lack well-equipped science labs particularly in rural areas, have no playing grounds, libraries and reading rooms, lack furniture and classrooms. To top it all, students have to face caste discrimination in these institutions that reflects on the results of practical examinations of tribal students. Aware of all these pitfalls of government schools, when the poor tribal families try to get their children good education through missionary schools, some fanatic elements who have a sway upon the larger society dub this act as proselytization and create social and political pressure to deprive their children of education, although this is unconstitutional. How many tribal politicians, officials and social workers have turned their attention toward such occurrences? How many of them have ever bothered to visit the schools and hostels set up in rural tribal areas and tried to do something about the various problems that tribal students face their? How many students have they ever bothered to help and guide? But people venturing into this kind of endeavour are few, and such efforts still few and far between. Even those poor tribal students who try to overcome all difficulties in their studies focus only on getting a government job, and most of the time their efforts go in vain. 4.Role of the Common Tribal Generally, it can be observed that ordinary tribal’s socio-economic condition is so pathetic that all his concerns and efforts focus on making both ends meet, so much so that he is unable to think of his own development let alone making any effort toward resolving the problems the community is beset with. He simply gives up, and hopes that some leader, some official or holy man will descend and deliver us from our pathetic socio-economic condition. The ordinary tribal has left his fate in the hands of government and God. If somebody perpetrates excesses on them and exploits them, they simply bow down before them. If any tribal youth or leader dare raise his voice against such excesses and exploitation, the ordinary tribals fail to throw their weight behind him, as they are in awe of the socio-economic status of the perpetrator. . And if some youth goes to jail for fighting for the dignity of the tribal community or dies for the cause of the tribals, he becomes a part of statistics as his fellow tribesmen, taking such event as something too ordinary to be remembered, forget such sacrifices after a few days. This is one of the biggest faults that lie with the tribal community itself. The Adivasi Upyojana Kshetra is predominantly tribal, people’s representatives are tribals and there are about 1500 NGO which claim to be working for tribal cause, yet the tribals have to suffer excesses and exploitation even after 59 years of Independence. Suggestions The above analysis draws the attention toward important deficiencies of the tribal community which can be removed by the following suggestions: 1.Tribal politicians, officials and employees may have taken advantage of reservations to improve the socio-economic status of their families. But most of them seldom discharge their duty toward the less fortunate fellow tribesmen. Such individuals should be entrusted with special responsibility of contributing toward the socio-economic development of their fellowmen living in poor rural tribal areas. They should be involved especially in educational, health and awareness programmes. And if they don’t fulfill their duty toward the community, they should not be allowed to enjoy the benefits of reservation. 2.Owing to limited resources, the implementation of various schemes designed by the government for the uplift of tribals is an uphill task. As a result of this, the tribals dwelling in poor rural areas are deprived of quality education and health care, thus keeping the tribals backward compared to non-tribals. Various government and non-government studies show that various government schemes meant for the socio-economic development of tribals have failed to reach the intended beneficiaries for lack of adequate staff and resources. The government has now taken an initiative to implement such schemes by involving non-government agencies. But no positive results have emerged from such initiatives. We all know that the missionaries have played a crucial role in providing quality education and health care to the rural poor. It is evident from the socio-economic condition of the tribals of the Northeast, including Assam, Nagaland, Meghalya, Tripura, Manipur, etc., and Jharkhand, which is much better than that of other tribals. The tribals of these areas are contributing their might in a significant way in many countries. It would be advisable to handover tribal development programmes in Rajasthan, Gujarat and Madhya Pradesh to the missionaries, so that the tribal communities of these states also become aware of their human rights and become an equal partners in the socio-economic development along with non-tribals. The no tribal will ever oppose the theory of merit. I also feel that till there is reservation available to them, there abilities will be questioned by the larger society as those who have availed themselves off the benefit of reservation have contributed little significant to the society and the country. It is therefore necessary to make those who are enjoying the fruits of reservation (1) to serve at least for the first five years, after they get a government job, serve in tribal areas and contribute to the welfare and development of the community, (2) adopt a tribal child to raise and educate him and (3) contribute a certain percentage of his earning to development work in tribal areas, such as digging of wells, construction of schools and community centres so that it helps the ordinary tribals lead a life of dignity. And they can say with pride, when time comes, that they are discharging their duty toward their community in return for the benefits of reservation that the government has provided them. 3.Party politics has pushed the tribal panchayats to the brink of ruin. The traditional tribal panchayats have historically played a crucial role in tribal society. It is therefore necessary to revive and strengthen them, as in their absence it would be difficult for the tribal community to reclaim its pride and rightful place in the society. It is apparent from experience that party politics is not going to resolve the problems that the tribal community is besieged with because had the decisions inspired by party politics been beneficial, the tribals would have never been living in pathetic condition even after 59 years of Independence. If any tribal receives lathis in the movements and rallies, held for tribal dignity and resolution of tribal society’s socio-economic problems, is jailed and takes bullets, such person should be revered by the community. We should raise monuments in the honour of such martyrs of the tribal cause, so that they become a role model and source of inspiration, as is the practice in Jharkhand. The community panchayats can also promote community participation in rural development work, so that we don’t have to depend on government alone for our socio-economic development. Every villager should be encouraged to contribute to mobilize resources and remove various deficiencies besetting development work. Villagers should also be encouraged to set up self-help groups so that a positive change is harnessed in their economic condition. 4.The tribal community is depicted in a wrong light in many films, papers and magazines. So it is pertinent for us to expose such tribals and non-tribals, organizations and groups, who are hurting the tribal interests and defaming the community, and give them a befitting reply. Many fundamentalist organizations are working overtime to create a deep wedge in tribal community, making tribals their own enemies. If such dangerous tendency is not checked, the time is not too far when we will have strife on our hands in which tribals will kill taibals. We can on the basis of above say that it will be erroneous to hold non-tribals solely responsible for the backwardness of the tribals of southern Rajasthan. If the tribal community has to suffer excesses and exploitation, and has remained a laggard in development, then tribal politicians, official, employees are as much to be blamed for this sorry state of affairs. It is because these people have use their tribal identity to reap the benefits by becoming politician (MPs, MLAs, district board chairmen, pradhans), government officials and employees. But when it comes to discharging their duty toward their own community they have largely failed. Tribal society will have to suffer excesses and exploitation till every tribal fight for his rights and discharges his duty toward the community. Although the government time and again claims to have spent crores of rupees on the development of southern Rajasthan, the reality on the ground is opposite, as there has been too little development to support such claims. This has led to growing socio-economic and political dissent among tribals of this area. Keeping in view this discontent, some individuals have taken laudable initiative. The foremost among them is Satguru Shri Mohanji Sharma who has been working for the socio-economic uplift of the tribals of southern Rajasthan for the past 15 years. He is guiding the tribal students by spreading awareness among them to help them learn to live with dignity. He is, in fact, in his own way uniting the tribals of this area. There are some politicians who rising above their party lines and ideologies are contributing a lot to the development of tribals. Prominent among them are Tribal Minister Nand Lal Meena, MP Mahaveer Bhagora, Former MP Mahendrajeet Malavia and Tara Chand Bhagora, MLAs Jeetmal Khont and Raghuveer Meena. There efforts are worth a thousand plaudits. The dissention widespread among the tribals of this area is now leading to a demand for a separate tribal state, which is being raised by some tribal youth. Supporting this demand are thousands of educated tribal youth and victims of excesses and exploitation. Those tribal politicians who were used and then dumped by their political parties are also throwing their weight behind this movement. It also appears that the non-tribal people of the area who are trying to bring the tribals in the mainstream of development are also supporting this demand, directly or indirectly. All this portends well.

Resolved Question: elvis alive?

The only time I feel alive... is when I'm in front of my audience, my people. That's the only time I really feel like I'm human." "Long after I'm gone, what I did today will be heard by someone. I just want them to get the best of what I had." (Elvis Presley) Is Elvis Alive ? There are many reasons to believe that Elvis Presley is dead. When the only arguments to believe otherwise come from crazed fans and supermarket tabloids, it is easy to dismiss the possibility that Elvis is still among us. However, the circumstances surrounding Elvis' alleged death are quite mysterious and beg closer attention. As it turns out, there are many concrete reasons to believe that Elvis is still alive. The Gravesite. Elvis' name is misspelled on his headstone. Elvis' full name is Elvis Aron Presley, but on his grave his middle name is spelled incorrectly with two a's. His father would not have let this happen. When Elvis was born, his name was misspelled on his birth certificate, and his father went to great lengths to get it put right. The unique spelling of Elvis' name was important to his family. Elvis' current "resting place" is in between his father and his grandmother and not next to his mother where he had adamantly requested. It is doubtful that the people close to him would allow these things to happen. Elvis is a superstitious man, enough so that he wouldn't tempt fate by putting his real name on a tombstone, or violate the ground next to his mother until he was ready to be placed there for good. Death Certificate. Elvis was very vain, and he was embarrassed about his recent weight gain, an astonishing 50 pounds in the month before his so-called death. Even though he weighed about 250 pounds at the time of his "death," his death certificate lists him at a spry 170 pounds. The original death certificate disappeared, and the current death certificate is dated two months after his alleged death. The Wax Body Theory. This argument is very convincing when the facts are considered. Elvis' coffin required several pall bearers because it weighed 900 pounds. Attendants of the funeral reported that the air around the coffin was rather cool. It is suspected that the coffin contained an air conditioning unit to keep a wax body cool, a wax body that was a replica of Elvis designed to fool funeral-goers. And how did the Presley family get a 900 pound, custom made coffin ready for a funeral that was held on the day after his death? It takes a lot of time to build such an elaborate coffin. And why was the funeral so quickly? Some say that the immediacy was intended to make it as difficult as possible for the people who were Elvis' biggest fans to attend the proceedings. It could be a concern that they might recognize the flaws in the wax replica. Elvis was an 8th degree black belt whose hands were rough with calluses, yet the body in the coffin had hands that were soft and pudgy. The body in the coffin had a pug nose and arched eyebrows {unlike Elvis} and most importantly, one of the sideburns on the "corpse" was loose and falling off. A hairdresser later reported gluing the sideburn back on the body. Unusual Behavior. Two hours after Elvis' death was announced publicly, a man who reportedly looked remarkably like Elvis purchased a ticket for Buenos Aeries, paid in cash, and used the name John Burrows: the same name Elvis had used as an alias several times before. Elvis had a few books that were considered to be his most prized possessions. He had a bible, several pharmaceutical books, books on death, and most importantly Chiro's Book of Numbers and The Autobiography of Yogi which I will explain more about later. After Elvis's death was announced, these books disappeared and were never recovered. In the weeks preceding his alleged death, Elvis' actions were not those of a man who was about to embark on an extensive US tour. He ordered no new suits despite having gained 50 pounds since his last tour, and he bid "adios" at his last show in Hawaii. He had never done this before. Adios, like the French adieu, has the significance of being a final good-bye as opposed to an "I'll be seeing you on my next tour" kind of good-bye. Others were intrigued by Elvis' decision to sign a lucrative TV deal with NBC that would cover the tour. It was unprecedented for a network to pay such a large amount up front, in cash, for such a deal. Many wonder why Elvis even agreed to the deal since his vanity discouraged him from making public appearances due to his weight gain. RCA showed uncanny and unbelievable foresight by mass producing millions of Elvis' current and previous recordings and merchandise. This is standard practice for an act that is about to go on tour, but the numbers in this case were beyond reasonable expectations. The announcement of Elvis' death caused record sales to skyrocket. Elvis did other unusual things that created suspicion. First, he fired several employees that he had relied upon for a long time. Also, two days before his alleged death, Elvis telephoned a friend of his named Miss Foster. He told her that he wasn't planning on going on the upcoming tour. She asked him if he had canceled it, and he said that he had not. When she asked if he was ill, he said that he was fine, and that she should not ask any more questions or tell anyone anything, and that she should not believe anything she read. He told her that his troubles would all soon be over, and that he would call her in a few weeks. The author of Elvis Where Are You? writes that Miss Foster took a polygraph test regarding this story, and that she was not lying. The day after Elvis' alleged death, a woman named Lucy De Barbon, a former lover of Elvis, received a single rose in the mail. The card indicated that the flower was from "El Lancelot." This had been her pet name for Elvis, and it was a name that no one else knew. Flowers can't be sent from beyond the grave. This was Elvis' way of letting her know that he was not dead, even though he didn't want to be found. Chiro's Book of Numbers. Elvis had a fascination with numerology, an interest he fed by reading Chiro's Book of Numbers. The theory that Elvis orchestrated his death is further supported when considering the significance of the date of his alleged death. The date in question is August 16, 1977. By adding the numbers in the date, 8, 16, and 1977, you get 2001. This is the title of Elvis' favorite movie in which the hero plans his immortality in the bathroom. Elvis spent a considerable amount of time doing the same: planning his afterlife on the toilet.. Elvis spent so much time in the bathroom that he had his toilet converted into a reclining comfy chair. Coincidentally, the bathroom is also where Elvis' body was reportedly found. Given Elvis' religious beliefs, he had a fascination with things that come in threes, for example, father, son, and holy ghost. The sum of the digits from his favorite film (2+0+0+1) is three. Let's consider the triad of the repetition of the number 24. 2001 (favorite film) less 1977 (year of death) is 24. The two numbers from the day of death (8/16) when added up equal 24. The sum of the digits in the year of death (1+9+7+7) also equals 24. That is 3 occurrences of the number 24 which is divisible by 3, and when divided by three the result, 8 has a perfect cubed root (2x2x2=8). Elvis loved numerology, and when you consider the numeric significance of the date of his alleged death, it is clear that if indeed he did plan to fake his death, he could not have chosen a better date. Reason Elvis had many reasons to fake his death.It has been said that Elvis' life was in danger. He had recently lost $10,000,000 in an airplane/real estate deal with a California based organization called the "Fraternity" that had links to the Mafia. It is speculated that he corroborated with the government to expose the organized crime ring in exchange for protection, perhaps in the form of a new life and identity compliments of the Witness Protection Program. Elvis was a prisoner of his own fame. He had many other reasons to leave his life behind. Because of his incredible popularity he recieved several death threats, and he was concerned about the safety of his ex-wife and daughter. Sometimes when he wanted to leave Graceland he would send look-alikes out to distract would be followers. Elvis was also known to ride in the trunk of someone else's car to avoid being seen. Once, when he fell ill in Las Vegas, he couldn't get proper medical attention because the hospital was overwhelmed by fans. At the time of his alleged death, Elvis thought he was nearing the end of his career. He saw his self as 42 with greying hair, overweight, and he thought his voice was starting to weaken,. He was going down hill, and he was too proud to go out with a whimper. He would never want his fans to see him in such an unhealthy condition. Elvis had shown a fascination with death on several occasions. In the days leading up to his alleged death he was reported to have visited funeral homes at odd hours of the night with close friends. Was he doing research? Elvis once faked his death by setting up an elaborate shooting in which a would be killer fired blanks at Elvis who had a blood pack which he discharged. It was Elvis' intention to see how the people closest to him would react to his death. Perhaps what he learned convinced him to do it for real. Finally, one of Elvis' favorite books is the spiritual Autobiography of Yogi. One of the central themes of this book is the relinquishing of one's wealth and earthly possessions to achieve spiritual oneness. Elvis could do this, as well as address his other concerns of sanity and safety by faking his death and living in exile. Means. Elvis had the means to fake his own death. He is accused of destroying himself with drugs. In reality, Elvis was a pharmaceutical expert. He took a lot of drugs, but he knew what he was doing and was extremely careful. He knew what drugs he could self-administer to create a deathlike state. Also Elvis' experience with the martial arts was such that he could slow his heart rate and breathing in order to feign death. Elvis' manager, Colonel Tom Parker, had once created a new identity for himself. He came to America as an illegal immigrant from Holland, but through various connections managed to create a new identity complete with a passport, birth certificate, drivers license, and social security number. He would have known how to give Elvis a second life. Aswell as Elvis' ties to the government through his testimony against the "Fraternity", Elvis was known to interact with the President of the United States. He was reported in government documents to use the name John Burrows as an alias when he wanted to travel. Some people believe that Elvis worked for the government as a drug agent. He did, after all have extensive contact with many people in the music business who, as we know, tend to dabble in illegal substances. And, of course, we must allow that Elvis' connections to the government gave him access to the Witness Protection Program. If they can turn the Simpsons into the Thompsons, they can relocate anybody. Orion? Many believe that Elvis couldn't have given up performing completely. Just imagine, after a while the desire to perform would grow once he started his life in exile. The story of Orion supports the theory that Elvis attempted a secret comeback. Shortly after Elvis' alleged death, a masked singer by the name of Orion emerged on the scene. He was big like Elvis, and he sang just like Elvis. Because of the mask no one could tell his true identity. One fan described seeing Orion from near the stage. She claims that Orion left the stage between songs, and when he appeared moments later the sweat was gone from his armpits and back and she thought that his costume looked slightly different. After the song he left the stage, and the original Orion returned. Another fan described how she rushed into a tour bus at an Orion show only to see two Orions in the back of the bus. She claimed that one ducked into the bathroom before she could get a good look at him, but he appeared to look like Elvis Presley. What's even more remarkable is the fictional story called Orion that was written by Gail Brewer-Georgio about a legendary performer who had several identities and wanted to fake his death. The story was written and submitted to the William Morris Agency for publication consideration after Elvis' alleged death and before the real Orion ever performed. As it turns out, there are many ways in which the real Orion mimicked the events as described in the book. For example, the performers' managers had the same name. Also, without knowing it, Brewer-Georgio wrote of events in Orion that had actually taken place in Elvis' life. It was a case of life imitating art. Picking up the Pieces. In 1981, 20/20 did an investigation into the circumstances surrounding the alleged death of Elvis Presley. The investigative report was very convincing. Oddly enough, within two weeks of the report, the singer, Orion, disappeared and was never heard from again. The book, Orion disappeared from shelves across the country. It had been recalled by the publisher which was associated with the William Morris Agency. Incidentally, the William Morris Agency is the same agency that represented Elvis. It seems that Elvis Presley is worth more dead than alive. By faking his death and relocating with a new identity he is safe from his fans and the "Fraternity", the government can make a solid case against the organized crime ring, and RCA, Elvis' family, and Elvis' management can all reap immense financial benefits from the attention. That is... except for one benefit....after nearly 25 years no one has collected on his life insurance policy. Why ????? During his last concert tour in 1977, Elvis spoke of "not looking good tonight", but, he would look good in his coffin. He made comments of being tired of living as he was and how it was going to change. He told of how he would like to be just himself instead of an "image". On August 16th 1977, at 8:00 A.M., Elvis told Ginger Alden that he was going into the bathroom to read. (This bathroom/lounge had it's own back entrance.) For the next six hours no one saw him. Elvis signed for a special delivery letter at 9:30 A.M. At 2:00 P.M. Ginger Alden found the apparent body of Elvis lying on the floor in front of his chair, where he had been reading. She called Al Strada who in turn called Joe Esposito. George Nichopoulous (aka Dr. Nick) was then telephoned. Joe called the fire department, unit 6. The ambulance arrived at Graceland at 2:33 P.M. Paramedics administered CPR, despite rigor mortis. The body was taken to Baptist Memorial Hospital at 2:48 P.M. By 3:00 P.M. Elvis' family members and friends were informed of his "death". Public announcement was given at 3:30 P.M. August 17th, the body was brought back to Graceland for family viewing. The public viewing was from 3:00 P.M. to 6:30 P.M. On August 18th,1977. Tennesse Governor Ray Blanton ordered flags to be flown at half-mast for the duration of the funeral procession. At midday the Graceland gates swung open, a white Cadillac hurse rolled through them, followed by sixteen white Cadillac limousines. QUESTIONS BEGIN How could it take twenty minutes for paramedics to drive sixteen blocks to Graceland if the call came in at 2:33 P.M.? The Medical Examiner's Report states that the body was found with rigor mortis, while the police report states "unconcious". Why would anyone try to give CPR to a rigor mortised body ? The ME report listed the body as weighing 80 pounds lighter then Elvis' actual weight. How could Elvis have passed a physical exam just prior to August 16th if his heart was so enlarged ? How could he have played raquetball for several hours on August 16th, just before his "death" ? ABC's 1979 program on the cover up of Elvis' death stated that all the stomach contents were destroyed. Bill Burkin in his book Elvis World states that officials at Babtist Memorial Hospital had assured him that the stomach contents had been shipped to a California lab to be examined and then on to a lab in Utah, and then ? There are rumors of Elvis' "death" being caused by a heart attack, drug overdose, suffocation in carpeting, suicide and even cancer ! Persons in attendance at Graceland at the time of "death" don't agree on the color of pajamas Elvis was wearing or the posistion of the body. Why did Vernon ask many people NOT to attend the funeral but to come a week later ? Why did Vernon refuse to accept the flag which is usually given to dead war veterans ? Why didn't Elvis have any new jumpsuits made during 1977 ? The handwriting on the death certificate matched Elvis' own writing ! Elvis was very aware of which presribed drugs did not mix well with others. Elvis had glaucoma, and Dexedrine, a drug not to be taken with that condition, was listed as being in his system. Who would prescribe it and why would he take it ? Whose body was autopsied ? Funeral homes don't usually keep solid copper coffins in stock. These coffins weigh in the area of 300 pounds and usually take two months to receive once ordered. This coffin seemed to have been ready. Monte Nicholson, a nineteen year veteran of the Los Angeles Sheriffs Department, wrote a novel called The Presley Arrangement. This novel tells the story of a body that is autopsied, a man resembling Elvis. The man had died of cancer. The body is later returned for private burial, to the man's own family. The man's family are paid to remain silent about the incident. Nicholson explains a government connection. In a 1989 radio interview Nicholson said that even if he knew there was an FBI connection and was told not to say anything, he COULD NOT say. Nicholson also claimed that if he knew the answer to the question, and says he does, he will not disclose his knowledge. He said that if Elvis is alive that his book is pretty close to the truth of what REALLY happened. Was Elvis a DEA (Drug Enforcement Agency) agent ? Elvis can be seen wearing a DEA Staff jacket in several photographs, including one taken in June of 1977, approximately six weeks before his "death". Also Elvis was wearing a jogging suit with the DEA logo on it during the early morning hours of August 16th 1977. When Elvis met with President Richard Nixon he said he had been "studying" the drug culture for over 10 years, he could get into any culture group and be accepted. Elvis said he had gotten alot from the country and he wanted to repay in some way. It would have been a dangerous job and one that an entertainer such as Elvis would not have HAD to do unless he chose to. Many DEA agents pose as "drug users" and "pushers" in their undercover work. Elvis could get to anyone if he appeared to be a "user". In the book Elvis: What Happened? one of the guys wondered if Elvis was ever as whacked out as he seemed to be. Maybe he is a "great" actor after all. Perhaps he deserves an "Oscar". Death threats were issued against Elvis and his family. Those who had leveled those threats had actually broken into Graceland. At times, the FBI were called. Deputy Narcotics Director John Finlator arranged for Elvis to come to his office under the name of John Burrows. Finlator didn't want to give Elvis a badge but the President reversed the decision. On December 21st of 1970, Elvis met with President Richard Nixon in the oval office, Washington, D.C. Elvis had written a letter requesting a meeting and expressed his concerns about the drug culture, hippie elements, the SDS and other groups who were against the establishment. When Finlator finally gave Elvis the badge and promised to issue him consultant credentials, Elvis was overcome with emotion and his eyes became misty. Ten days later he met with the FBI. On the same day, President Nixon wrote Elvis a thank you. Elvis wrote to the President and said, "I can and will do more good, if I were made a Federal Agent at large, and I will help out by doing it my way." Elvis was known to be in his bedroom for weeks, seeing no one. (There was a back staircase at Graceland.) Elvis could sneak out whenever he needed to. Department of the Treasury-Bob Pritchett says that during the years of '74, '75, and '76 "Mr. Presley provided one of our undercover agents, who was a musician, a job cover. Undercover agents appear to have other occupations. None of Elvis' group of friends knew of this agent and the role he played in setting up his cover. Since he had an undercover agent in his group from '74-'76, when did he find time to use drugs himself? Elvis was very good at keeping secrets and living a "double life". Elvis spoke with President Carter two weeks before his death. It involved aid to a friend. On August 16, 1977, President Carter issued this tribute: "Elvis Presley's death deprives our country of a part of itself. He was unique and irreplaceable. More than twenty years ago he burst upon the scene with an impact that was unprecedented and will probably never be equaled. His music and his personality, fusing the styles of white country and black rhythm and blues, permanently changed the face of American popular culture. His following was immense and he was a symbol of good humor of his country." This was a formal statement, when a celebrity's death is usually only commented on. He had spoken to Nixon and Carter both shortly before the day he died. In the September 1988 issue of American Karate magazine, Ed Parker tells of a time when a terrorist group threatened Elvis' life to make him an example of how they could get to famous people. They threatened to plant a bomb in one of the gifts offered to Elvis at a concert. This was a threat as long as he was "alive", and his family were targets also. Elvis always had law enforcement officials around him. John O'Grady, who was earlier in charge of NARC Divisions of the LAPD, was one of them. He also hired Dick Grob, a former sargeant with the Palm Springs Police. He was surrounded by at least two lawmen in top security positions. Elvis was in danger. The "hoax" may have been the only way out! History will prove Elvis to be an American hero beyond being an American entertainer. SIGHTINGS With all the Elvis lookalikes, he could actually walk around using disguises and get away with it. Who would be looking for him anyway, when he is supposedly dead? Before 1977, there was an "Elvis lookalike, sound alike" at a Memphis theatre. Elvis put on his best "Elvis outfit", strolled in and mingled with the clones, doing his best "Hey, baby". Afterwards, he came back to Graceland laughing. He tried out and lost! Elvis and his mother's bodies were moved to the Meditation Gardens for burial, after three men tried to break into the crypt. Graceland was rezoned to permit burials at the estate. In the 1989 Orion's "Farewell to the King", the King says "I died once. I had to be willing to give up everything, even the will to live." The last recording session at Graceland was The Last Farewell. There have been many sightings at various places including Graceland. There are some escape routes at Graceland that people don't know about. In a syndicated newspaper across the nation on June 5, 1990, an article headlined "Elvis Lives, At Least On Census Form." The Census Bureau reported in 1990 that Elvis returned a questionaire to the bureau office in Huntsville, Alabama. It was noticed by census workers who were screening forms for completednesss. Late Night with Ross Shafer (August 1988) had a survey that showed that out of 30,000 people polled, approximately 84% believe Elvis is alive. On Monday, August 22, 1988, Harold Schuitmaker, in an item of the Detroit News, said "Elvis is Alive and Living in Kalamazoo." Schuitmaker was a well known Michigan politician and resident of Paw Paw (15 miles from Kalamazoo). The masked singer Orion was at the McMinnville Civic Center and a fan said that she felt that the man onstage and the one who signed autographs were different people. People have reported that someone sounding like Elvis called them on the phone and some hung up because they couldn't believe it. A book titled Elvis: Where Are You? came out of Wilton Manors, Florida around August, 1982 under the name of Al Jefferies. The premise of the book was that Elvis hoaxed his death. Kelly Burgess, a former assistant editor and feature writer with the Detroit News, claimed to have seen Elvis in Kalamazoo, Michigan. She is not living now. In 1988, Heartbreak Hotel starred David Keith as Elvis. (The film had the support of EP Enterprises.) A soundtrack album thanked Jerry Schilling and a special thanks to J.B. In 1987's Robo Cop, a cop is killed, but didn't die. He returns as Robo Cop-a superman hero. It was filmed in Michigan. During that time radio stations got calls from a man sounding like Elvis Presley. There have been lots of sightings there and it was also on his final concert tour. Is this possibly a "message" film? March 18, 1990, an article on Robo Cop, in the Detroit News told of Robo Cop speaking to a Boys and Girls club against drugs. It was a three month long anti-drug campaign organized by the FBI, Orion Home Video of New York, and the Boys Club of America. This Robo Cop was not the same actor as in the movie-his true identity was not revealed. he was a special agent helping the FBI fight the war on drugs. His suit was bullet-proof. During filming, some people saw a man looking like an older Elvis. In Mac and Me, a film from 1988, a young alien is lost and at the end the family drives away in an old pink Cadillac convertible. A balloon caption says "We'll be back". The sound track is on Curb Records, which is the same label as "Spelling on the Stone". There were some song lyrics which were: "Tired of being myself, being different from everyone else, somehow you knew I needed your help, be my friend forever. I never found my star in the night; living my dream was far from sight." There was a scene in the movie where Eric asks Debbie "Why didn't you tell him that you saw him (the alien)?" She says, "Because no one would believe me." Elvis has become a mythic figure, and there have been frequent rumors that he is still alive. Elvis remains the single most influential and respected figure in the history of Rock music. Elvis was the first Rock/Pop singer to have a single record sell a million copies, the first to go platinum with an album in less than two weeks, the first singer to pre-sell a million records before it's release, the first entertainer to earn a million dollars for one concert performance, and the first young, white, southern male to bring international attention to the importance of black rhythm and blues. He was the first singer to get a million dollar screen contract. He was the first music personality to have a TV performance broadcast worldwide via satellite. In 1993, he became the first rock'n'roll star whose picture appeared on a commemorative U.S. Postal stamp (the largest stamp printing in history). Elvis is a landmark in almost everyone's life, going back to distant memories of watching him above the waist on Ed Sullivan or hearing "Hound Dog" for the first time. His image continues to mesmerize: witness the appearance of 200 Elvis impersonators at Liberty Weekend in 1986. There was a time when he was merely the most popular entertainer in history. He is more than that now. He is a symbol of America as recognizable as the flag. Elvis opened the 'window of his soul' to his fans all over the world. Thank you, Elvis! Remember you are always on our minds. "TCB FOREVER! Any Comments on this ? E-mail Mei found this on the internet weird more

Resolved Question: Can someone help me explain this in a short paragraph?

Dan,(a CPA and a staff accountant)for B&L's(local CPA firm). It's been the policy of the firm to provide a holiday bonus equal to 2weeks salary to all employees. The firm's new management team announced on Nov.25 that a bonus equal to only 1week salary would be made available to employees this year. Dan thought that this policy was unfair because he and his coworkers planned on the full 2week. The 2week bonus had been given for 10straight years, so it seemed as though the firm had breached an implied commitment. Thus, Dan decided that he would make up the lost bonus week by working an extra 6hours of overtime per week over the next 5weeks until the end of the year. B&L's policy is to pay overtime @ 150% of straight time. Dan's supervisor was suprised to see overtime being reported, since there is generally little additional or unusual client service demands at the end of the calender year. Discuss whether the firm is acting in an ethical manner by changing the bonus. more

This nation is peaceful, but fierce when stirred to anger. This conflict was begun on the timing and terms of others. It will end in a way, and at an hour, of our choosing." On Friday, September 14, 2001, President Bush visited Ground Zero. Standing on a crushed and burned fire engine atop the smoldering pile at Ground Zero, he put his arm around a retired firefighter who had volunteered to help, and began speaking to the crowd. Rescue workers shouted that they could not hear him. Someone handed him a small American flag and bullhorn. The President spontaneously shouted: "I can hear you. The rest of the world hears you.

Part of national forests cleanup: Restricted judicial challenges (based on the Endangered Species Act and other challenges), and removed the need for an Environmental Impact Statement before removing fuels/logging to reduce fire danger. 7. Killed Clinton's CO2 rules that were choking off all of the electricity surplus to California. 8. Provided matching grants for state programs that help private landowners protect rare species. Defense & Foreign Policy 1. Successfully executed two wars in the aftermath of 9/11/01: Afghanistan and Iraq. 50 million people who had lived under tyrannical regimes now live in freedom. 2. Saddam Hussein is now in prison. His two murderous sons are dead. All but a handful of the regime's senior members were killed or captured. 3. Leader by leader and member by member, al Maida is being hunted down in dozens of countries around the world. Of the senior al Qaeda leaders, operational managers, and key facilitators the U.S. Government has been tracking, nearly two-thirds have been taken into custody or killed. The detentions or deaths of senior al Qaeda leaders, including Khalid Shaykh Muhammad, the mastermind of 9/11, and Muhammad Atef, Osama bin Laden's second-in-command until his death in late 2001, have been important in the War on Terror. 4. Disarmed Libya of its chemical, nuclear and biological WMD's without bribes or bloodshed. 5. Continues to execute the War On Terror, getting worldwide cooperation to track funds/terrorists. Has cut off much of the terrorists' funding, and captured or killed many key leaders of the al Qaeda network. 6. Initiated a comprehensive review of our military, which was completed just prior to 9/11/01, and which accurately reported that ASYMMETRICAL WARFARE capabilities were critical in the 21st Century. 7. Killed the old US/Soviet Union ABM Treaty that was preventing the U.S. from deploying our ABM defenses. 8. Has been one of the strongest, if not THE strongest friend Israel has ever hand in the U.S. presidency. 9. Part of the coalition for an Israeli/Palestinian "Roadmap to Peace," along with Great Britain, Russia and the EU. 10. Pushed through THREE raises for our military. Increased military pay by more than $1 billion a year. 11. Signed the LARGEST nuclear arms reduction in world history with Russia. 12. Started withdrawing our troops from Bosnia, and has announced withdrawal of our troops from Germany and the Korean DMZ. 13. Prohibited putting U.S. troops under U.N. command. 14. Paid back UN dues only in return for reforms and reduction of U.S. share of the costs. 15. Earmarked at least 20 percent of the Defense procurement budget for next-generation weaponry. 16. Increased defense research and development spending by at least $20 billion from fiscal 2002 to 2006. 17. Ordered a comprehensive review of military weapons and strategy. 18. Ordered a review of overseas deployments. 19. Ordered renovation of military housing. The military has already upgraded about 10 percent of its inventory and expects to modernize 76,000 additional homes this year. 20. Is working to tighten restrictions on military-technology exports. 21. Brought back our EP-3 intel plane and crew from China without any bribes or bloodshed. Globalization & Internationalism 1. Challenged the United Nations to live up to their responsibilities and not become another League of Nations (in other words, showed the UN to be completely irrelevant). 2. Killed U.S. involvement in the International Criminal Court. 3. Told the United Nations we weren't interested in their plans for gun control (i.e., the International Ban on Small Arms Trafficking Treaty).* 4. The only President since the founding of the UN to essentially tell that organization it is irrelevant. He said: "The conduct of the Iraqi regime is a threat to the authority of the United Nations, and a threat to peace. Iraq has answered a decade of UN demands with a decade of defiance. All the world now faces a test, and the United Nations a difficult and defining moment. Are Security Council resolutions to be honored and enforced, or cast aside without consequence? Will the United Nations serve the purpose of its founding, or will it be irrelevant?" We all know the outcome and the answer. 5. Told the Congress and the world, "America will never seek a permission slip to defend the security of our country." Government Reform 1. Improved government efficiency by putting hundreds of thousands of jobs put up for bid. This weakens public-sector unions and cuts undeserved pay raises. 2. Initiated review of all federal agencies with the goal of eliminating federal jobs (completed September 2003) in an effort to reduce the size of the federal government while increasing private sector jobs. 3. Led the most extensive reorganization the Federal bureaucracy in over 50 years: After 9/11, condensed 20+ overlapping agencies and their intelligence sectors into one agency, the Department of Homeland Security.* 4. Ordered each agency to draft a five-year plan to restructure itself, with fewer managers. 5. Converted federal service contracts to performance-based contracts wherever possible so that the contractor has measurable performance goals. Health 1. Strengthen the National Health Service Corps to put more physicians in the neediest areas, and make its scholarship funds tax-free. 2. Double the research budget of the National Institutes of Health. 3. Signed Medicare Reform, which includes: A 10-year privatization option. Prescription drug benefits: Prior to this reform, Medicare paid for extended hospital stays for ulcer surgery, for example, at a cost of about $28,000 per patient. Yet Medicare would not pay for the drugs that eliminate the cause of most ulcers, drugs that cost about $500 a year. Now, drug coverage under Medicare will allow seniors to replace more expensive surgeries and hospitalizations with less expensive prescription medicine. More health care choices: As President Bush stated, "…when seniors have the ability to make choices, health care plans within Medicare will have to compete for their business by offering higher quality service [at lower cost]. For the seniors of America, more choices and more control will mean better health care. These are the kinds of health care options we give to the members of Congress and federal employees. What's good for members of Congress is also good for seniors. New Health Savings Accounts: Effective January 1, 2004, Americans can set aside up to $4,500 every year, tax free, to save for medical expenses. Depending on your tax bracket, that means you'll save between 10 to 35 percent on any costs covered by money in your account. Every year, the money not spent would stay in the account and gain interest tax-free, just like an IRA. These accounts will be good for small business owners, and employees. More businesses can focus on covering workers for major medical problems, such as hospitalization for an injury or illness. At the same time, employees and their families will use these accounts to cover doctors visits, or lab tests, or other smaller costs. Some employers will contribute to employee health accounts. This will help more American families get the health care they need at the price they can afford. Homeland Security, Border Enforcement & Immigration 1. *See Government Reform above. Under President Bush's leadership, America has made an unprecedented commitment to homeland security. 2. Has CONSTRUCTION in process on the first 10 ABM silos in Alaska so that America will have a defense against North Korean nukes. Has ordered national and theater ballistic missile defenses to be deployed by 2004. 3. Announced a 9.7% increase in government-wide homeland security funding in his FY 2005 budget, nearly tripling the FY 2001 levels (excluding the Department of Defense and Project BioShield). 4. Before DHS was created, there were inspectors from three different agencies of the Federal Government and Border Patrol officers protecting our borders. Through DHS, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) now consolidates all border activities into a single agency to create "one face at the border." This not only better secures the borders of the United States, but it also eliminates many of the inefficiencies that occurred under the old system. With over 18,000 CBP inspectors and 11,000 Border Patrol agents, CBP has 29,000 uniformed officers on our borders. 5. The Border Patrol is continuing installation of monitoring devices along the borders to detect illegal activity. 6. Launched Operation Tarmac to investigate businesses and workers in the secure areas of domestic airports and ensure immigration law compliance. Since 9/11, DHS has audited 3,640 businesses, examined 259,037 employee records, arrested 1,030 unauthorized workers, and participated in the criminal indictment of 774 individuals. 7. Since September 11, 2001, the Coast Guard has conducted more than 124,000 port security patrols, 13,000 air patrols, boarded more than 92,000 vessels, interdicted over 14,000 individuals attempting to enter the United States illegally, and created and maintained more than 90 Maritime Security Zones. 8. Announced the Student and Exchange Visitor Information System (SEVIS), an internet-based system that is improving America's ability to track and monitor foreign students and exchange visitors. Over 870,000 students are registered in SEVIS. Of 285 completed field investigations, 71 aliens were arrested. 9. This week, the US-VISIT program began to digitally collect biometric identifiers to record the entry and exit of aliens who travel into the U.S on a visa. Together with the standard information, this new program will confirm compliance with visa and immigration policies. 10. Eliminated INS bureaucratic redundancies and lack of accountability. 11. Split the Immigration and Naturalization Service into two agencies: one to protect the border and interior, the other to deal with naturalization. 12. Signed the workplace verification bill to prevent hiring of illegal aliens. 13. Established a six-month deadline for processing immigration applications. 14. Information regarding nearly 100% of all containerized cargo is carefully screened by DHS before it arrives in the United States. Higher risk shipments are physically inspected for terrorist weapons and contraband prior to being released from the port of entry. Advanced technologies are being deployed to identify warning signs of chemical, biological, or radiological attacks. Since September 11, 2001, hundreds of thousands of first responders across America have been trained to recognize and respond to the effects of a WMD attack. Judiciary & Tort Reform 1. Is urging federal liability reform to eliminate frivolous lawsuits. 2. Killed the liberal ABA's unconstitutional role in vetting federal judges. The Senate is supposed to advise and consent, not the ABA. 3. Is nominating strong, conservative judges to the judiciary. 4. Supports class action reform bill which limits lawyer fees so that more settlement money goes to victims. Politics 1. His leadership resulted in Republican gains in the House and Senate, solidifying Republican control of both houses of Congress and the presidency. 2. Signed an EO enforcing the Supreme Court's Beck decision regarding union dues being used for political campaigns against individual's wishes. Second Amendment 1. Ordered Attorney General Ashcroft to formally notify the Supreme Court that the OFFICIAL U.S. government position on the 2nd Amendment is that it supports INDIVIDUAL rights to own firearms, and is NOT a Leftist-imagined "collective" right. 2. Signed TWO bills into law that arm our pilots with handguns in the cockpit. 3. Currently pushing for full immunity from lawsuits for our national gun manufacturers. 4. *See Globalization & Internationalism. Traditional Values, Compassion & Volunteerism 1. Endorses and promotes "The Responsibility Era." President Bush often speaks of the necessity of personal responsibility and civic volunteerism. He said, "In a compassionate society, people respect one another and take responsibility for the decisions they make in life. My hope is to change the culture from one that has said, if it feels good, do it; if you've got a problem, blame somebody else — to one in which every single American understands that he or she is responsible for the decisions that you make; you're responsible for loving your children with all your heart and all your soul; you're responsible for being involved with the quality of the education of your children; you're responsible for making sure the community in which you live is safe; you're responsible for loving your neighbor, just like you would like to be loved yourself." 2. Started the USA Freedom Corps, the most comprehensive clearinghouse of volunteer opportunities ever offered. For the first time in history, Americans can enter geographic information about where they want to get involved, such as state or zip code, as well as areas of interest ranging from education to the environment, and they can access volunteer opportunities offered by more than 50,000 organizations across the country and around the world. 3. Established the The White House Office and the Centers for the Faith-Based and Community Initiative — located in seven Federal agencies. The faith-based initiative supports the essential work of these important organizations. The goal is to make sure that grassroots leaders can compete on an equal footing for federal dollars, receive greater private support, and face fewer bureaucratic barriers. Work focuses on at-risk youth, ex-offenders, the homeless and hungry, substance abusers, those with HIV/AIDS, and welfare-to-work families. 4. The White House released a guidebook fully describing the Administration's belief that faith-based groups have a Constitutionally-protected right to maintain their religious identity through hiring — even when Federal funds are involved. 5. Issued an EO implementing the Supreme Court's Olmstead ruling, which requires moving disabled people from institutions to community-based facilities when possible. 6. Increased funding for low-interest loan programs to help people with disabilities purchase devices to assist them. 7. Revised the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Section 8 rent subsidies to disabled people, permitting them to use up to a year's worth of vouchers to finance down payments on homes. HUD has started pilot programs in 11 states. 8. Committed US funds to purchase medicine for millions of men, women and children now suffering with AIDS in Africa. 9. Heeding the words of our own Declaration of Independence, the president laid out the non-negotiable demands of human dignity for all people everywhere. On January 29, 2002, he said, "No nation owns these aspirations, and no nation is exempt from them. We have no intention of imposing our culture. But America will always stand firm for the non-negotiable demands of human dignity." As stated by the President, they are a virtual manifesto of conservative principles: Equal Justice Freedom of Speech Limited Government Power Private Property Rights Religious Tolerance Respect for Women Rule of Law more
