How can a government with party associations ever effectively represent the people it's designed to serve?
Q. Truly, whether 2 parties or 10, how can a goverment work effectively for it's people when elected officials vote with their party? My question is why should parties or any such associations among elected officials not be abolished? Thinking more on this, when I go to the voting booth, I vote in private. There was a big Union issue which surfaced last week about secret voting. There's no peer pressure.

A. Many other types of government can be found, all over the world. With which would you suggest we replace our Republic? Or, do you even have an idea for a new and different one? This is a very good question, and it's very easy to agree with abolishing parties, but many alternatives I could suggest would be even worse. Obviously, the party-in-power is there because it represents the majority. I'd like to see more "watch-dogs", more regulations for the untrustworthy, more emphasis on Civics in school, and more mature decisions than the ones that created this economic crisis. Hopefully, this President will right many wrongs!

Do you think that professional sports associations should have the ability to regulate off-season activities?
Q. Ben Rothlisberger wrecked his motorcycle without a helmet. This has many associations evaluating what kind of control they can/should have to protect their investment in the off-season. Should they be able to have that kind of control over one's life?

A. No, they should not. Problems they should focus on first, drugs, abusive situations in the home, and any other criminal activity that athletes are involved in. He wrecked his bike while not wearing a helmet, alright. But, is that really worse than the 2 NFL players in the last week and a half that have been charged with domestic assult/battery?? Or what about Ricky Williams' drug situation? Failed 3 times...3!!!...If you fail once at Walmart you're fired!! There are too many other problems that they should be worrying about. Should the school I teach at say that any teacher who consumes alcohol is fired because we tell our students not to do it or it could make the school look bad? Are we going to tell doctors that if they smoke… [cont.]

What associations do you have with the following phrase?
Q. Hi everybody! I am now translating into English the slogan of a Russian company that is going international. After discussing several variants with native speakers of English I chose the variant below. "Harness energy" What products would you associate with this slogan? And what kind of a company do you think can have this slogan? This is a short test to check if the slogan is O.K. Thanks in advance!
