I'm not sure that I do believe in the idea of a soulmate. However, I think that the closest thing that I've come to meeting a soulmate was in college at the front end of this decade. While we did interact frequently for a couple of years, once she graduated, all contact was lost, and as a result, I now think that she's the one that got away based on some numerology I did earlier this year.
Give me the beach any day
For about eight years, I personally boycotted all Texaco stations after a tape of the company's higher-ups making racially offensive jokes was leaked to the public.

Landline here. As a matter of fact, I din't even get a cell until last year.
I'd want to see how many other famous people might have been wiped out by these agencies or got wiped out by unsavory organizations but were aided and abetted by intel agencies that looked the other way. I would also want to find exactly what the CIA knows about UFOs and ETs.
True love? Are you kidding?
Love at first sight DOES NOT EXIST! So what if two people hit it off instantly? What that tells me is that there's a potential for a booty call or nothing more than an infatuation, plain and simple.
1. Pay off all my debts
2. Pay off my parents' mortgage
3. Invest in stocks, bonds, etc.
4. Operate a business

The Coalition of Independents
The concept would unite all regional parties with smaller parties that have a national following. This unified approach would pose a legitimate challenge to the status quo known as the two-party system. The only catch is that the interested parties will have to either support the platform below or at least be open to supporting the given ideas. Independents can also join the coalition just as long as they agree to the platform.

Independents can also join the coalition just as long as they agree to the platform.
Party Platform:
- Replace the income current tax with the Fair Tax (National Retail Sales Tax). Go to www.fairtax.org for full information. The Fair Tax would coincide with repealing the 16th Amendment.
- Major immigration reform must be implemented. Neither party is willing to seriously touch this issue out of fear that they will lose the Hispanic and immigrant votes. However, a strict immigration policy is needed to prevent America's borders from being infiltrated by terrorists. The reform effort would apply to all nationalities in a significant effort to avoid being prejudiced towards a significant ethnicity or nationality. If there is to be a guest worker program, a national agency would be created to work with businesses to determine how many migrant workers are needed. Then, the workers would be brought in to work for however long employers need them. Once the work period expires, the workers will be sent back home.
- Border security. The Mexican government should do more to uplift its citizens rather than encouraging them to illegally cross the border. Not only should the number of Border Patrol agents be increased but so should their pay. Should Mexico City fail to comply, Washington should adopt a get tough policy.
- The need for a balanced national transportation policy. The Interstate Highway System's original design is nearly complete 52 years after its conception and there are only so many new interstate highways that can be built before it comes to head with the growing NIMBYism in certain areas of the country. The airline industry is currently undergoing a downturn that is eerily similar to what the railroads experienced in the 1960s. we are now suffering from a rise in gas prices and crude oil costing over $70 a barrel but are nowhere closer to providing alternative energy resources. Drilling in Alaska would only be a short-term solution to a long-term problem. Now, imagine America in 25 years with no passenger rail, very limited air travel, and gas at $20 a gallon. The antidote is very simple: The transportation funding must be evenly spread out among highways, air, and rail!
- Get serious about alternative energy sources. Whether peak oil exists or is an exaggeration, this nation must be prepared for extremely high gas prices as well as other world events and should take the appropriate steps to combat these problems. Let’s get one thing straight--all the offshore drilling in the world won’t be enough to break U.S. dependence on foreign oil--so we have to invest in other sources. Nuclear power should definitely at the top of the list of new energy for us to use. Tax breaks for use of alternative energy will only pave the way to break our dependence on foreign oil, which should have been done three decades ago.
- Move elections to Saturdays and make Election Day a national holiday. Elections haven't always been held on Tuesdays. It has only been held on that day since the mid 19th century
- Healthcare. Go to http://money.cnn.com/2007/05/29/news/eco
nomy/grove_column.fortune/index.htm?post version=2007052916 for possible ideas. - The War on Terror. The threat to Islamic extremism is real and it is past time that Americans treat it as such or the entire world will be subject to a second Dark Age by mid-century.
- Iraq. This war had nothing to do with the War on Terrorism and September 11 until Sunni insurgents appeared and made it a terrorism issue. Only a substantial troop increase would show enemies that America means business.
- Modify senatorial representation. Be open to the idea of either modifying or repealing the 17th Amendment by letting state legislatures appoint one or both senators. This way, the senators can truly represent the states’ interests.
- Reduce the role of Big Business in politics. Corporations have too much influence to the point where we are becoming more of a corporatist society. This new party would advocate responsible capitalism that does not become a pawn that does favors for every single corporation--some of which may compromise the well-being of this country.
- Free trade agreements to play a reduced role in foreign affairs. As Americans call for more nationalism, deals like NAFTA and CAFTA will become less significant instead of more. Based on NAFTA’s effects, there will be no more trade agreements without rigorous scrutiny.
- Repeal the Real ID Act of 2005. Unconstitutional!
- The North American Union. Speaking of corporatism, plans to merge the U.S., Canada, and Mexico would promote the agendas of multinational corporations, not the working people of North America. The SPP was done in secret in March 2005
- Culture War. There are many other issues which merit much more concern than so-called “hot button topics and wedge issues,” which do nothing to address whether there will be another terrorist attack on U.S. soil. The people who are still bringing up these issues are doing much more to harm America than help it. After the constant celebrity worship, the constant bringing up of polarizing issues from the 1960s is the biggest red herring of this era.
- Space. Encourage private operators to participate in travel, research, and transportation. Support the current NASA plans to the moon and Mars, but be prepared to rely on the private sector during the transition period between space vehicles if U.S.-Russian relations continue to deteriorate.
