Mass. lottery winners face charges in welfare fraudReply
Unless you are a sage, which you have not claimed to be and verified to be correct, you would have no knowledge of the source of the money with which the welfare recipient purchased or purchases his/her lottery ticket. If the welfare recipient wins, you own absolutely no share of it. There is no net lottery pool created. The litany of taxpayer's money that goes to create benefits, in the thousands of dollars, indirectly to many persons in America is extensive, and it is not possible to cat

Lottery Post member subject of new motion pictureReply
Here's what happened: Carl Liggett - January, 2004: I was driving along a snow-covered county road at about 45 miles an hour.

I think if we all know how the government is playing us against each other for political reasons we will change our views or understand it a little better. We can stop hating Mexicans and see the big picture. The politicians and government made it so easy for them to be here. Billions and billions of dollars change hands. It grease the palms for businesses who want cheap la

I never mentioned Bush in my original posting, which was just about improving voting, but the moderator here did in his response, so I guess we are free to talk about him. Here is one more thing to think about in regard to the president. From www.tbrnews.org . > There is a time bomb ticking away that will do little to assist Bush in regaining political heaven and that is the treatment of the dead GIs.
