If he's willing to admit he did it can't we just go straight to sentencing? Seems a bit ridiculous! You should be able to plead guilty if you did the crime. It's refreshing that he wanted to though.

It is NOT related to religion. ANYONE can enter into a marriage contract EXCEPT two gay people. How is this fair? A church that does not want perform gay WEDDINGS is perfectly within it's right but that same church or church members is not allowed to say who can get married elsewhere. It is a contract plain and simple and everyone should be allowed to have a contract!

That happened to a friend of mine. The trooper was "counting" two testees and told my friend that he didn't do the minimum amount but the guy holding his feet said "We were both counting and he actually did X" which was more than the minimum but what the trooper says goes so he has to go back and test again. Argh!

All of a sudden the phones don't work anymore. Way to try to keep your customers Sprint. A little notice and a visit from someone to help us "migrate" over to Sprint would have been the way to go.

How can another hardware store can go there? Won't the same issues be present? Or did the property owner fix it? These are things that might have been interesting to have in this article.

They have no alternatitve options because the state won't allow them! Really?

BUT the unfortunate thing is that infants die in their cribs too. I would even venture a guess that it happens in cribs more often. For every unfortunate incident whether it is in a crib or parents' bed there are thousands or even millions of non-incidents. People have been sleeping with their children for thousands of years. It's kind of surprising the human race has prospered at all...

Of course they would want to serve twice as many, ahem, "customers" With that kind of money changing hands I have a hard time believing they are truly in it to help people get off drugs. WHy would they be? If that happened they'd be out of business. Wow talk about messed up.

Your tax burden will not go down and may likely go up because the need for services has just increased by 18,000 people on state unemployment. The pople who have lost their jobs are the people actually doing the work not the mid and upper level. Instead of just being mad at government and complaining can we work together to think of ways to FIX the problems in government? Simply reducing staff and seemingly the costs associated with employees does not fix anything. Government is a big complicated machine not simple like personal finances as people like to compare.

They were negotiated AND agreed upon. Though it does seem greedy these people are just using what they were given. Should some things be eliminated? Sure, but don't get mad at the workers. If it were you, you would certainly be taking advantage of those "perks" too.
