What do u think of my speech?
Solving Conflicts Abroad
I feel that it is not up to America to solve everyone’s problems. We America are looked at as the “superhero” of the globe. Thought we are a great nation, we have problems of our own. But as we go to Africa to feed the hungry, but we have people going hungry here. I’m not saying that we shouldn’t help other people but I am saying that we do have to worry about our problems, not just other peoples. As for the War in The Middle East it is in fact both nations fault. We went to their land looking to take their oil and to help the Samaritans, but truthfully they don’t want us there and I can’t say I blame them. Let’s say that Canada comes to Texas and try’s to force their ways on us. We would not take it sitting down. America is a great nation one of the best in the world but that’s just it…we are only one nation. Just one average normal nation who got lucky when Christopher Columbus found the new world. And when Spain took control of it all the way to the American revolution. Though we may stick our noses where they don’t belong we have saved a great deal of life’s by acing in other’s affairs . Such as the World Wars though many life’s were lost, lots were saved. We stopped a bad war from like a virus spreading a killing millions more than it already had. I see other’s viewpoints on how if we didn’t act there would be many conflicts but I still stick with my statement earlier on how we have our own problems too. Instead of taking others oil we should spend more time researching renewable resource energy sources. We have solved many problems but as the saying goes “Curiosity Killed the Cat”. In addition to all that I have said I feel America though a great nation is not due to the duty of solving conflicts abroad.

As for the outcome of the war in Iraq, it is in fact the fault of both nations. We went to their land looking to take their oil and to be “Good Samaritans”, but truthfully they don’t want us there, and I can’t say I blame them. If Canada went to Texas and tried to force their ways on us, we would not take it sitting down. America is a great nation, one of the best in the world, but that’s just it…we are only one nation.

Wjat Part of No Amensty don’t they get — Senators plan to revive immigration bill?
Senators plan to revive immigration bill
By DAVID ESPO, AP Special Correspondent
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070615/ap_on_go_co/immigration
Left for dead a week ago, legislation to strengthen border security while bestowing legal status on millions of illegal immigrants is showing signs of life.
Senate leaders announced plans Thursday night to revive the White House-backed measure as early as next week, although neither Majority Leader Harry Reid nor his GOP counterpart, Sen. Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, issued any predictions the bill ultimately would pass.
Instead, they issued a statement that said in its entirety: “We met this evening with several of the senators involved in the immigration bill negotiations. Based on that discussion, the immigration bill will return to the Senate floor after completion” of sweeping energy legislation that has occupied the Senate this week.
There was no immediate reaction from the bill’s numerous Senate critics, who have consistently attacked the legislation as conferring amnesty on the estimated 12 million illegal immigrants living in the country.
Officials said the Bush-backed plan for accelerated funding would be among the changes to be voted on. So, too, a proposal by Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison, R-Texas, to toughen a requirement for illegal immigrants to return to their home country before gaining legal status.
Also to be protected from immediate change is a provision giving law enforcement agencies access to personal information that immigrants provide on their applications for legal status.
But the provisions relating to the legal fate of the estimated 12 million illegal immigrants has drawn the most controversy.
The bill allows illegal immigrants who were in the country as of Jan. 1, 2007, to come forward, pay fees and fines, pass a background check and receive an indefinitely renewable four-year Z visa to live and work legally in the U.S.
Ultimately, holders of Z visas could qualify for citizenship if they learn English and hold down jobs. Heads of households would have to return to their home countries, whether or not they sought a green card bestowing permanent legal resident status.
The bill also creates a new employment-based point system for new immigrants to qualify for green cards based on their education and skill level, and eliminates or limits visa preferences for family members of U.S. citizens and permanent legal residents.
The text of the bill, S. 1348, may be found at http://thomas.loc.go
The Expert answers:
Overall, I think most people recognize the logistics and associated problems of attempting to remove 12 million + people from the country.
The American public does not want to see money thrown at the border control problem in empty promises that are rarely if ever truly followed up on.
If the government would fulfill it’s obligation to control the border, granted, a huge undertaking in and of itself, and they established this control first, and then moved toward a naturalization and legalization program for people here, many people would likely calm down and accept the necessity for some type of implied amnesty.
It’s a case of fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me. They promised to control the borders in 1986 and failed to do so then and have continued that failure and now they want us to believe that because they pass a bill in the senate, that they are somehow solving the problem.
As things stand, the likely scenario in many people’s minds is that these 12 million plus will be legalized and forgiven and the flood of illegals will continue to cross the borders unchecked. We have no reason to trust that the border issue will be resolved with the promise of a few billion being thrown at it. People I know want to see real results on controlling the border and then address the issues of those already here.

*Which statement is true regarding copper’s ability to conduct electricity?
Copper is a good conductor of electricity because its atoms have a loosely held electron in their outer shell that is able to move freely to other atoms.
Copper is a poor conductor of electricity because its atoms are held in positions that cannot move.
Copper is a good conductor of electricity because its atoms have electrons that are tightly bound to their shells and will resist movement.
Copper is a poor conductor of electricity because it has a free electron in its outer shell that will flow to other copper atoms.
I THINK THIS IS C.
*Question 2
When discussing magnetic fields we could say that
metals can become magnetic if they have many spinning electrons that create magnetic fields.
metals are magnets because they have more electrons than non–magnetic materials.
non–paired electrons spin in opposite directions creating a magnetic field.
the spinning electrons in some atoms pair up and create a magnetic field.
I THINK THIS IS D.
*Question 3
In order to create an electromagnet, you would
apply a charge to a non–magnetic material in order to create an electromagnetic field.
coil a ferromagnetic material, wrap in an insulator, and apply a direct current to the coil.
cover a wire with insulation and apply an alternating electrical current to the magnet.
wrap an insulated wire around a metal with ferromagnetic properties and apply an electric current.
I THINK THIS IS C.
*Question 4
Which statement is true?
Hydroelectric power, a nonrenewable resource, is generated from moving water.
Oil, a nonrenewable resource, is processed to make jet fuel.
Propane, a renewable resource, is used in some heating systems.
The energy from the sun, a nonrenewable resource, can be converted to electricity in solar cells.
I THINK THIS IS B.
*Question 5
As populations in North America grow, so does the need for wood to build houses, stores, and other buildings. Select the statement that best describes the long–term global effects of this behavior.
People will need to plant more trees and in a few months the entire problem will be taken care of.
If we control the amount of forests cut, the people will go somewhere else to find wood. This is not a concern as long as they are not cutting down the forests in North America.
Populations are falling in the rest of the world so the extra wood can come from other countries that have a surplus.
In order to meet the demand, forests have been cut down at an alarming rate. If we do not find another source of building materials, our forests, an important natural resource, will all disappear.
I THINK THIS IS A.
*Question 6
When describing the interaction between magnetic poles we could say that
north and south poles attract each other.
north and south poles repel each other.
two north poles will attract each other.
two south poles will attract each other.

*Question 7
Which statement best describes the relationship between metals and magnets?
All metals are attracted to magnets because they are able to create their own magnetic field.
All metals are attracted by magnets; this is why we call metals ferromagnetic.
Magnets do not have a magnetic field so only some metals are attracted to them.
Only some metals are attracted by magnets; these metals are called ferromagnetic.
I THINK THIS IS C.
*Question 8
Which of the following best describes the use of a nonrenewable resource?

random collection of magnetic poles dispersed in different locations.
I THINK THIS IS A.
*Question 10
Scott was watching the electrician install a new light fixture. Scott noticed that when he was finished, he carefully wrapped some wires with plastic caps and black plastic tape. Select the best explanation of why the electrician would wrap electrical wires with plastic products.
The electrical wires are made of metal, which conducts electricity. In order to make the wiring safe, he would wrap the exposed wire with plastic materials, which are good insulators. This keeps the flow of electricity contained to the light fixture and wiring.
The electrical wi

3 I’m not sure about. The only electromagnets I’ve seen are non-insulated copper wire wound around a piece of iron.
I really don’t have time to read the rest. That is probably the reason no one else has answered either. When we see long lists of things from an asker, the tendency is to skip that question.
