Materialism comes with maturity, unfortunately, and kids nowadays are cynical (realistic?) enough to realize that they're not going to become the next Gates or Jobs, so maybe they're thinking that cracking is a more viable career path. Sad, but I do understand how they feel -- it's a tough job market.
Hey, keep the facts out of it, buddy! This is about God, country, and godless communists. It has nothing to do with the facts.
It's interesting how a story about possibly compromised voting machines with the implication that our elections could be influenced by godless communist America haters makes the front page of the New York Times, isn't it? I guess all the people warning about Diebold -- against which there is far more evidence than against Sequoia -- don't matter, the fact that the CEO of Diebold open favors Bush and directly promised to "deliver Ohio to George Bush" doesn't matter. Shows you where the media's head is, you know?
Electronic voting is just another way to funnel countless millions of taxpayer dollars to a few rich guys, anyway. Did you notice that the Smartmatic contract with Venezuela was worth $120 mil? Not bad for a "small software company" apparently run by two guys. Wonder what they get from Uncle Sam. If we had any sense, elections would be decided by good old fashioned ballot boxes monitored by bipartisan committees of actual citizens.
One quibble with your sig: Since it's been over five years since 9/11, wouldn't your car be 20 times more dangerous than Bin Laden by now?
Not sure that ADHD drugs would have that effect, but they certainly could be a factor. Maybe the same neurochemicals that cause boys to be "wild" (and get diagnosed as ADHD) also help them build up balls.
