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!

Is there an agency in Texas that investigates home associations?
Q. I live in a condo complex and our maintance fee is almost $350.00 a month. The associations outlines all the bill etc per month. However they do not produce and bills. I also think that they are skimming off the top.

associations?
Q. I automatically associate things with other things. For example, I'll associate someone's name with a certain taste or smell, and it's completely automatic. Sometimes people will remind me of certain foods, or certain numbers will remind me of certain sounds. What the heck? I've been this way since I was little. It's slightly irritating, and confusing, especially when I get the actual taste in my mouth hearing a certain name/word. What's going on? Hahaha, insane! There's a name for it.

A. It's called synesthesia. It's a fairly common occurance where neoral pathways get sort of intertwined in your brain (that's not exactly it, but it's a good enough explanation for here). There is a TON of research on it. If I were you, I'd start with this article on synesthesia from Scientific American, and then continue your research on it from there. It's actually a REALLY interesting condition!
