Is this house arrest the same as incarceration?

My chief concern is that in a subliminal way she may be considered, the great white hope in response to Obama's mixed racial heritage.

I have been living outside America for five years. Maybe I am out of touch. Will someone please explain America's seeming infatuation with Sarah Palin?

I think the Honorable Mr Frank hit the nail on the head, in statement regarding the anti abortion Religious right. " They believe that life begins a conception and ends at birth."

I wonder how those statistics are gathered. I would think the per cent of Thai male smokers to be higher.

Incarceration would seem to be appropriate for this individual.

As a known scofflaw and bail jumper a significant cash amount is all his worth.Every bank account, all real property, all future royalties Plus everything he owns free and clear, or has an interest in.

It sounds as though the white trash is doing their laundry again.

What Pol Pot did to Cambodia, Thaksin could do to Thailand. I hope Thai people realize Thaksin wants a new dynasty.

Hence, the appeal process

It may not be a deterrent, it may not be about an eye for an eye. It may not be about punishment of any kind. It may be about ridding society of the rabid element it has produced.

The article neglected to mention if the trucker was an owner operator, also if there were any other passengers.

I would be interested if anyone knows the conditions of Polanski's incarceration. What are the the housing conditions like ?

Ah . . . another riddle of life.

Often times they are used inaccurately, to express situations and perceptions thought to be certainties.

[ Wilson's outburst came in response to Obama's statement that a healthcare overhaul would not directly benefit illegal immigrants. It seems to be en-vogue, at least by the far right media in America, to shout and even scream to audibly drown out any opposition.

I guess it is possible ....... About as often as green monkeys fly out of your ass ....

I think it is a widely held belief, at least among farang that Thai drivers are somehow less than cognizant of basic traffic laws. My perception is that the " laws" here are more like guide lines. If we stop trying to impose the traffic laws from our home countries, it becomes much less stressful. In Thailand driving into oncoming traffic for relatively short distances is acceptable. It is not viewed as driving the" wrong way" What still baffles me however, is why during a heavy rain or deep dusk, most drivers do not turn on their headlights.

Probably about the same good as it would have done thirty years ago.........
