I think you mean 'even Buffet thinks it's a good idea.'
Buffet has made his fortune in part as a pirate-raider of businesses that are in crisis because of the death of the founder. He's a shark that circles around and waits for the feds to close in with inheritance taxes. He's basically someone who takes advantage of government sleaze-deals to grab his chunk.
There are lower forms of capitalist, but not many. He plays both ends of the deal, making his loot based on side effects of the way the government fucks people over.
You know, you're right. The right wing is made up of greedy capitalists, whose physical appearance is similar to that illustrated in the Parker Brothers game 'Monopoly.' They spend countless hours coming up with ways to 'control a woman's body' for reasons only they would understand. 'Keeping the poor poor' is another of their hobbies.
Much partial 'book banning' takes place right in the bookseller, where certain titles are quietly shuffled off into the shelves while other books are showcased on the display tables. And guess what? It's not 'greedy capitalists' who keep Al Franken's books up on the display table.
In Florida, you are now required to take a $250 "safety" course to get a motorcycle drivers license when you are the only one that will probably get hurt if you go down.
They should reduce that 'processing fee' to zero dollars, if you volunteer to become an organ donor. Of course, to earn the special 'organ donor' status the rider should be required to motorcycle without a helmet.
Actually, it has everything to do with control of child porn and terrorism. And your 'they' has everything to do with paranoia. Self-isolating but apparently rewarding paranoia. Bunch up in a little community of 'the oppressed' and feel warm and together with your mates.
It's nice of them in this instance to spoon in so nicely with your parody of what 'they' are all about, isn't it?
Similarly, the kidnapped child has no handgun with him/her in the car. Hopefully we can remedy that as well with some new technology and maybe even a few new laws.
Well, many of the drivers that Microsoft bundles on an OS install CD are built by Microsoft under their supervision. It's almost always more secure and reliable to use the default drivers off the OS distribution CD than to go digging around or worse yet, use the awful installer CD that comes with a piece of hardware. This is true, of course, only if driver support is on the OS install disk. But if you're installing the 'doze on a bland Dell box, say an Optiplex, you're best off leaving well enough alone and not installing any third party crap. Microsoft has bundled what is needed into the OS. Unless you're installing an OS older than the hardware, of course.
More importantly, how do you plan to keep band directors from blowing all their funds on the Marching Band, for uniforms and equipment to provide halftime entertainment at football games?
So I suppose that means you 'supervise' every install of Windows on a machine that you or any of your associates will be using? Do you visually inspect the holograms on the CD media? Do you lock the machines up when not using them and never connect them to a network?
I take it you would NEVER use a preinstall version of Windows that came on a new machine. I mean, it has all that other shovelware and the vendor customization crap.
The default drivers are good enough for you. No new hardware! Not unless there's a driver for it built into the Microsoft install media. Right?
And actually, NT 3.51 was a better 'Unix Workstation killer' than NT 4.0. NT4 tried to be the Windows 95 interface. NT 3.51 had the old clunky Program Manager, but it had a much cleaner 'home directory' structure for multiuser systems than NT 4.
If I were running a Windows platform for dedicated applications, I'd choose NT 3.51 over 4.0 anyday. The only reason, ever, to upgrade to 4.0 would be because of apps unsupported on 3.51. That and the crummy Start Menu, I guess.
Barak is a political hack who got on the gravy train of the 'Daley' Chicago Political Machine.
He became a 'millionaire' because he wrote a couple memoirs? Huh? So writing a couple memoirs is a 'get rich quick' scheme that we should all engage in, it isn't a way for the politically connected to siphon in some green?? Well, then, I guess we should all write our memoirs.
Okay, well. He fulfills the requirements of 'blackness' for racial stereotyping, or at least he fills in the checkbox on two items on the list, for the camera.
Sarah Palin was a star Women's Basketball player. In the 70's before women's sports turned into an 'entitlements' thing.
Well, Obama, as a representative of the Chicago Political Machine, isn't a particularly non-white candidate.
I mean, he was raised in Hawaii, by his white grandmother, who was a Bank Officer. That isn't close at all to 'the black experience' in growing up. He's no blacker than any other political hack from the Daley machine.
You're right. It's more fucked-up than, well, ummm. . .
I guess it's more fucked up than a few pocket democracies in Europe which have homogeneous populations (and which, it turns out, are running into real trouble as more immigrants flood in)
The best government is a weak, ineffective government.
Best of all is if congress can be tied up worrying about steroids in professional sports.
Unfortunately their power can't be limited to such matters, so stuff like that is used as diversionary sideshows, while they're hustling cash and handing it out through 'community organizers' and similar mechanisms.
The Democrats might say they target that demographic, but for fundraising they pander to a whole different social class. And ideologically, they view the 'working class' almost as a form of cattle who they need to guide toward the truth.
It comes out of the urge to be the helmsman of the people, etc. That old stuff about having it all figured out 'if they can just achieve political power' and implement their theories.

Factcheck.org is a propaganda arm of the Obama campaign. Get real, dude.
But you were hoping enough people would look at your href and say 'huh. that other dude was wrong.'
Shouldn't you be out hassling people with Acorn pamphlets?
It's really weird having to defend against someone stupid enough to cheer on higher taxes as a good thing.
You really believe it's all been a dark conspiracy so that BushaliburtonMcChipsky could roll nakedin gold coins in his vault? You believe that crap???

Actually, 1984 can be seen as more of a broader commentary on totalitarianism, rather than any specific critique on socialism or communism.
Yes, it can be re-interpreted that way. And Orwell's former comrades scurried to do that as soon as it hit the bookstores.

You can't find an 8" drive? They aren't that rare...
It will probably be sold to RockStar so they can incorporate it into a new GTA game.
Maybe, like Nickolai Tesla, they were just destined to have a great beginning but go nuts toward mid life.
Similarly, the kidnapped child has no handgun with him/her in the car. Hopefully we can remedy that as well with some new technology and maybe even a few new laws.
I guess her civil right, as guaranteed in the constitution, to talk on a cell phone while in a moving vehicle, has been abrogated.

It's hard to believe Obama just "changed his mind" on all these topics overnight.
On the contrary. It's 'change you can believe in.'
It's rather pink of you to take sides in the charade and be parroting Democrat bullet points.
That's why everything is so fucked-up.
You're right. It's more fucked-up than, well, ummm. . .
I guess it's more fucked up than a few pocket democracies in Europe which have homogeneous populations (and which, it turns out, are running into real trouble as more immigrants flood in)
I fail to see why a murder who is able to buy a gun and allows a drunk pilot to fly a 747 is someone with 'careless mentaltity.'
Who would he be pointing the gun at to force them to allow the drunk pilot to fly? This sounds like it could make a pretty good action film?
