Should we ban the use of attachments in legislation?
Everyone says that one of the best things you can do when researching a candidate to see if they align themselves with your view points is to look at their voting record. It is also one of the most misused tactics of one party trying to discredit another party candidate. The problem I see is that often legislation is put forth containing bargaining chips in the way of attachments, which may ultimately be the deciding factor for the representative to cast his or her vote. The main issue gets the press while the underlying cirstances are largely ignored. Occasionally on snops.com I will see research which brings these instances to light, however for the most part all candidates regardless of their political affiliations get hammered on these biased reports. Must we allow this as a means of clearing the docket or should we insist that legislation be presented on it’s own merit and voted on accordingly with no attachments of unrelated issues. These attachments seem only to favor the special interest groups. Often it is cause for the representative to simply abstain from voting. Yes it may slow down the progress of legislation but perhaps it may force these representatives into taking a firm stance based on the desires of their constituents and sticking with it. Now I’ve posed this question in a BI-Partisan manner so answer respectfully and with intelligence please.

Do Christians today have some misguided idea that the first Christians were actually quasi capitalists?
You ar misguided in that the first Christians were under fierce persecution. They lost their jobs and in some cases their homes. Today in America we have an ordered, semi-communist economy so the pulling together we read in Acts chapter is largely unnecessary. We are also encouraged to stay put in current cirstance when salvation occurs. You are criticizing that which you neither understand nor believe, and have failed miserably.
Could modern feminism be deemed a conservative/right-wing movement?
No, I think the feminist movement can be described as left-wing. Conservatism work on keeping traditional values or returning to them, which seems the opposite of what feminism does. Feminism doesn't create social hierarchies and is trying to change traditional views of society. Most modern feminists work on changing the law to improve both women and mens lives.
What does this dream mean? A lot of blood?
Usually dreams about bleeding indicate that a person is emotionally worn down or exhausted from life events. Your dream is actually a bit more specific though, as the original blood was from the deer. Others bleeding in a dream can mean that they are in emotional distress or 'crying for help'. Given that the deer was the original source of the blood and that you were bleeding afterwards, your dream may mean that someone else is crying for help or is emotionally drained and that it has gotten to the point where helping them or worrying about them has caused you yourself to become emotionally drained. The white sheets further support this point, as they may indicate that you don't want to negatively impact a fragile situation (the perfectly white room) due to your own emotional wear (your tears).
My neighbor has repeatedly slandered Obama. Isn't there some kind of way to have him arrested?
I recently moved to Wichita from San Francisco, and purchased a rather nice house in one of the suburbs not far from the Air Force Base. Everything seems to be fine here, except for some of the political opinions I've heard expressed here- especially from my neighbor. Though I don't exactly recall how the heated discussion started, He more or less disclosed to me that he hated everything about the current administration, including the cabinet and its policies. Furthermore, I noticed a "Nobama" sticker on his car (The one which has a circle and a slash superimposed over the president's face) Being one of the most blatant displays of racism I have ever seen, I later decided to call the Sheriff's office to report him for being guilty of a hate crime. However, whenever I finally got through to an investigator, he just laughed at me. I know that politics are somewhat more right of center in this part of the country, but it seems as if they don't even have any sort of justice system here?
