actually dragonflies eat a lot of bugs for their bodymass.
it would be like standard geek eating two times their own bodyweight in mountain dew.. while mashing 2 liter bottles to bits with their powerful mandibles..
okay.. maybe it's not the best analogy, but I'm sticking with it.
Unfortunately government has stopped being government lately and has started to be run as US Government LLC. Politicians, instead of leading and guiding, are doing whatever is the popular or buzz of the moment instead of guiding the boat to the center of the channel as they should.
I'm overjoyed to see stories like this being published because it's showing to others what I (and anyone else who is paying any attention at all) knew already. The low-bid is not always the best result. In fact, rarely is it the best overall solution.
Perhaps what we're going to need to see more of in the future is a supplemental source of funds from the Homeland Security office (or whomever) to bring the low-bid solution that business favors to the level that the American infrastructure can afford security-wise.

I found it to be useful when I was making a decision with who I should go with; who has tri-mode networks, largest coverage footprint, etc.
Almost all of the cartoons and anime is created for the express purpose of selling toys. Ever notice how Bandai and Hasbro (or whoever they are now stateside) produce a boatload of animation and have the toys on the shelves before it even hits the airwaves?
Also, a note on censorship on cartoon network: I've noticed (assuming that many of you have not) that a whole lot is cut out of nearly every DBZ episode.. of course this is usually crazy death, destruction, japanese humor (that they assume the 15-year-old audience wont understand), and vulgarity (not to mention assorted swearing).
Personally, I cant even watch Tenchi on cartoon network because I know they have carved the storyline to pieces so that they can insert 8 min of commercials and translated ineffectively so that the voice "talent" can speak on queue. Anyway, it bothers me.
I suppose I'm just one of those purists that likes to watch fansubs instead of commercially produced anime. Quality over quantity.:/
Maybe someone should write an article (because I know no one will ask me to) on how repressed cable tv is in its current state. I'm <b> paying </b>for the privilege of watching premium television, and I'm being delivered a caricature of the original work.

well actually, a representitive government represents the people.
what makes you think that this government is representitive?
I completely agree.

I think there's something wrong with that.
