Your Questions About Recycling

The Expert answers:

You want facts? If she said she is being recycled back to day one, then she probably did something. However if she is being recycled back to day one, she is not stuck. She will just start over and continue training. They would not spend the time recycling her and training her if she was going to be discharged, so dont worry about that. In the event that something happened, to where she would be discharged out of the Marines, she will contact you and make you aware so that traveling arragements can be met. I know it is impossible for you because you care about your daugter so much, but you have to sit back and relax and let the Marines do their job. We are very good at it, and if you have any serious problems. Contact her recruiter and in case of emergency he can contact her drill instructor. Dont accept no for an answer from a recruiter. And if this did not explain it good enough for you, you can call me at 931 265 7017 and i will be happy to clear anything up for you

Let me start of by saying I hate getting into these debates. They only frustrate me. But I will because you seem confused on this very important topic. Why is it so important? Because it is one of the main aspects that seperates the 2 main american parties. Some Democrats believe that Multimillion dollar corporations stand for Evil because they think that the rich get their money through…dishonest means. This is in fact sometimes the case. The Enron and MCI scandals in the late 1990s were prime examples of this. Another reason for the Democrats’ distrust of corporations is because when the party started taking shape it to what we know it as today, FDR’s New Deal Policies came into effect. The heroes of that era (such as the Roosevelts) were trustbusters, helping the common man prevail over “evil” business interests. And at the time, it was a perfect idea. The problem is that those policies were so successful that the same mindset of hating businesses has carried over to today.
The majority of businesses make their money through honest means. You are correct in believing that Capitalism is part of the American dream, and it should not be supressed. That leads me to my last point. *Because some people do not have the drive and determination to work hard and advance in society (Im not talking about people who can’t, I’m talking about people just dont want to because its too hard) end up hating and despizing those who do have the determination to succeed.* They tend to want what they don’t have. This is my main problem with the Democratic party, they do not want to work for what they have, they would rather have things given to them through other people’s hard work. This is an unfortunite fact that does not stand for everyone in the party, just the majority. Why do I think this way? My father came to America in the 1950s. He was just a baby. His parents had no money to start a new life. My father grew up using only what he was able to afford, which was not much. He was never encouraged. He had to do everything on his own. With the exception of his father, every other member of his family had some mental sidorder, be it a memory disease or something like sckitzofrenia (did I spell that right?). He found work mowing lawns and doing other jobs for people. He recycled trash from local trash cans just to scrape by. But he did. Because of his great grades in school, and through saving everything he had, he earned enough money to buy his own car and pay for college at one of the nations top universities. And he had no help doing this. He got married, got a job, and his family never had to go through the hardships he had as a kid. His family works hard, but comfortably. His drive to succeed parallels what business owners have, and that shoudn’t be taken away from those fortunite few.

As you can probably tell, I lean Republican. I find it imperative to find the truths in people’s actions and make conclusions from them. But when you look at the given answers here, there’s only one. One answer to your thought out question. Perhaps it is because you wanted, “well thought out answers primarily from Democrats.” There is not reasonable explanation for their current hatred of business.

So, if anyone else does decise to post an answer here, please vote for the best answer! And really do that! Because I am waiting, and have been, for someone to prove me wrong for years. Good luck in your endevors!

The Expert answers:

Your conclusion is your opportunity to wrap up your essay in a tidy package and bring it home for your reader. It is a good idea to recapitulate what you said in your Thesis Statement in order to suggest to your reader that you have accomplished what you set out to accomplish. It is also important to judge for yourself that you have, in fact, done so. If you find that your thesis statement now sounds hollow or irrelevant — that you haven’t done what you set out to do — then you need either to revise your argument or to redefine your thesis statement. Don’t worry about that; it happens to writers all the time. They have argued themselves into a position that they might not have thought of when they began their writing. Writing, just as much as reading, is a process of self discovery. Do not, in any case, simply restate your thesis statement in your final paragraph, as that would be redundant. Having read your essay, we should understand this main thought with fresh and deeper understanding, and your conclusion wants to reflect what we have learned.

There are some cautions we want to keep in mind as we fashion our final utterance. First, we don’t want to finish with a sentimental flourish that shows we’re trying to do too much. It’s probably enough that our essay on recycling will slow the growth of the landfill in Hartford’s North Meadows. We don’t need to claim that recycling our soda bottles is going to save the world for our children’s children. (That may be true, in fact, but it’s better to claim too little than too much; otherwise, our readers are going to be left with that feeling of “Who’s he/she kidding?”) The conclusion should contain a definite, positive statement or call to action, but that statement needs to be based on what we have provided in the essay.

Second, the conclusion is no place to bring up new ideas. If a brilliant idea tries to sneak into our final paragraph, we must pluck it out and let it have its own paragraph earlier in the essay. If it doesn’t fit the structure or argument of the essay, we will leave it out altogether and let it have its own essay later on. The last thing we want in our conclusion is an excuse for our readers’ minds wandering off into some new field. Allowing a peer editor or friend to reread our essay before we hand it in is one way to check this impulse before it ruins our good intentions and hard work.

Never apologize for or otherwise undercut the argument you’ve made or leave your readers with the sense that “this is just little ol’ me talking.” Leave your readers with the sense that they’ve been in the company of someone who knows what he or she is doing. Also, if you promised in the introduction that you were going to cover four points and you covered only two (because you couldn’t find enough information or you took too long with the first two or you got tired), don’t try to cram those last two points into your final paragraph. The “rush job” will be all too apparent. Instead, revise your introduction or take the time to do justice to these other points.

Here is a brief list of things that you might accomplish in your concluding paragraph(s).* There are certainly other things that you can do, and you certainly don’t want to do all these things. They’re only suggestions:

include a brief summary of the paper’s main points.
Ask a provocative question.
Use a quotation.
Evoke a vivid image.
Call for some sort of action.
End with a warning.
Universalize (compare to other situations).
Suggest results or consequences.

Depending on how severe your dental problems are, they may simply put you on delayed entry. The bad thing with that is that you may lose your reserved job selection. You will go through a in depth physical prior to going anywhere at your local MEPS, so it’s best you try not to pass it off. BMT may be stressful for you, and “killer” toothaches won’t make things easier. What does your recuiter say? Good luck!

The Expert answers:

No way to answer all that at once. There are too many unproven facts. The pristine bullet was found on the stretcher at the hospital, thus no proof of what, if any, wound it caused. (The Warren report)

As for what was recovered, another good question is where is the brain that was removed at the autopsy? That is a conspiracy lovers dream. Almost as subjective as who hired Oswald. The US troops in Korea noticed a massive build up of enemy troops nearly twelve hours before the shooting. Very bad timing or did they know something?

I better stop, I am asking more than answering. Good luck

The Expert answers:

After death, we get recycled. Matter can neither be created, or destroyed. Based on that fact, we know that all of the little atoms that make up our bodies will simply change form, and remain a part of the whole.

Quantum physics is just now revealing that we are not as separate from one another, or the natural world, as we’ve always thought. We are quite literally a part of a huge, cosmic fabric. The more you imagine the quantum field, the more similar to our own brains it appears to be. It resembles what we call “mind”, and when put in that context, everything in the world, including us, resemble thoughts. The All is timeless and eternal, and we are a part of that. I for one, am comfortable with the idea that the quantum field itself is God, and it is inside this supreme intelligence’s mind that we exist.

Does our consciousness go on? I can’t imagine how it can’t, knowing what we know about the quantum world. I’ll try to explain.

Picture something that happened when you were four. Now picture something that happened when you were 10, and so on. Those thoughts and images are not restrained by time, and can be retrieved at will. Time ceases to exist. Now imagine the supreme mind, doing the same thing. When looking at the world on a quantum level, we appear to be more like vapor than something solid, much like our own thoughts seem to us. We are the thoughts of that supreme mind, and our perceived death cannot end God’s memory of us. We continue to exist.

While I can acknowledge God, I do not accept religion or dogma. To think that such a magnificent being would intentionally create a place of eternal torture is crazy, in my book. It simply makes no sense, as God would indeed have to share in the torture, simply by being aware of it, thus also being tortured. Hell would be counter intuitive to God. Since all of the evidence points to God doing everything possible to improve us, (through evolution. All evolutionary changes have been to our benefit, not our detriment) a desire to then harm us, doesn’t fit what we have witnessed. By harming us, God is also hurt, since God is the All.

Being released from my religious background and deeply embedded fear of hell, was the most liberating thing imaginable. The whole concept of hell was invented by humans to control humans, via the free will God has given us. But when examined closely, the whole hell idea goes out the window.

Energy/fuel conservation: The main thing I do to be green is I got a new job that I can use mass transit to get to (instead of driving my car.) Now I barely ever drive a car, and I feel good about that. I also don’t buy gas from ExxonMobil, since they pay scientists to claim global warming is not real or is not caused by humans and their use of fossil fuels. The last thing I need to do is give my money to a company who’s actively trying to confuse the public about the state of our fragile environment.

Water/energy conservation: I use CFLs, and turn off and unplug anything that’s not in use in my home. For most hours of the day, the only thing that has power running to it in my home is the refrigerator. I turn off the water in my shower when I’m lathering up or shaving. At least 50% of my meals are vegetarian. Eating vegetarian is good because it takes thousands of gallons of water to raise just one pound of beef. In fact, eating veggie meals makes turning off the water in the shower look like just a drop in the bucket, comparatively speaking. I live in a building/area with many people. Living in a densely-populated area helps conserve resources.

Using green energy: Both my home and my work are run off of 100% green energy–mostly wind, but my work also has some solar panels on the roof. I work in a metropolitan city.

Recycling: I recycle everything I can and offered to help my building’s management company improve and spread the word about its recycling program. I also posted a recycling guide in our recycling room for other people to refer to (to make sure they are following our county’s guidelines.)

Putting my money where my mouth is: I choose to buy earth-friendly products even though it costs me a little bit more i.e. Organic foods, Seventh Generation dishwasher soap, laundry detergent, and toilet paper. The greater the demand for enviro-friendly products now, the cheaper they will be for all of us in the long run. (I especially do not buy Kimberly-Clark products i.e. Kleenex because their products do not have recycled content.) I also donate to Greenpeace, and they in turn fight to save the environment. I buy some green clothing from Greenloop.com when I can afford it (organic clothing is still very pricey–but I found some excellent Certified Jeans on the site and l looove them.)

Encouraging others: I spend a large part of my time trying to convince others to do their part to save the environment. Hanging out on Yahoo! Answers is part of it. I also blog about the environment.

Last but not least, I love my green life!

Pluto Rat I would have to agree LMFAO!!!! Gerogia Bush mitt romney both have no common sense when it comes to the economy.Ugh typical republicans.Anyway I think it would be smarter to issue an all new currency so that the regular U.S. Dollar would be replaced and then I think that we should pay all our debts with this new currency and I think after that we should make strict importing laws against china and instead of importing everything we could move the jobs and factories back to America to keep the money flowing and to prevent us from being put into debt again.I think that the new currency could be rationed out to banks where citizens that open bank account could “deposit” there old money and withdraw the new money.The old money would then be recycled and reused to create paper materials.The upsides of starting over with an all new currency would be that 1.we would no longer be in debt 2.we could control the inflation and keep it from going up a.k.a. Taxes go down because we have a new currency and and it’s not inflated and we aren’t in debt and we have a set amount printed so no fluctuating prices. Imagine paying like $1 for a gallon of milk or a a new car for like $6,000. 3.Bringing jobs and factories and jobs back to America means less importing and more employment opportunities meaning less poverty and crimes.More factory jobs in inner cities so people wouldnt be so tempted to steal or rob. There is lots of upsides to this but it would not work unless the government itself changed.We like to think that “we the people” is actually how it is.But in fact it is not.I think we should get rid of the central federal government and instead go by states.States importing from other states boosting the economy.States deciding if they will allow people without legal immigration papers into the state.States deciding drug laws regarding marijuana for medical or recreational use.State laws regarding taxation.State laws regarding all laws.That way if someone doesn’t like the laws or if someone would like different opportunities or if someone doesn’t like the way their personal state oporates they can simply moves states while still being able to easily find job opportunities and still be able to depend on a stable economy.For example hypothetically if someone living in Florida has lots of job opportunities dealing with tropical agriculture or biology but they were homosexual and enjoy smoking marijuana as a medicine or to relieve stress and don’t like synthesized chemicals or alcohol.So they decide to move to California where they would still have opportunities to pursue a career in marine biology or tropical agriculture while being able to have the freedom to choose what they would or would not like to put into their own bodies and to have the freedom to choose what they want to do as long as it’s not harming others.A new economy,the end of the federal government,and the creation of individual state laws would be the key to the perfect utopian society!
