While this whole argument stemmed from if the Confederate flag should fly over a state capitol, I have one reason regarding a justification of the flag.
The Civil War, which some consider the last battle of the revolutionary war, was fought hard by both sides. Each side had their reasons for fighting their countrymen. I don't think we can even comprehend what it must have been like. Just as many Southerners died for their cause, as did Northerners trying to "keep the nation together". Just because the South "Lost" the war, doesn't make those lives lost any less meaningful. People lost their brothers, sons, fathers, etc, and the flag perhaps symbolizes that loss. Now don't get me wrong here, I am not advocating slavery or anything of that sort. I'm just offering up a reason why the flag could be flown.
Those who vote for Nader, whatever state they may be in do not elect Bush, the entire nation elects Bush. If Gore loses, it is not the fault of Ralph Nader, or of his supporters, it is his fault, 100%, for not convincing the votes he can serve them better. It is sort of sad that Gore can barely keep up with a idiotic, poorly spoken, convicted drunk-driver from Texas.
People need to stop worrying about "Strategic voting" and vote for who best represents their ideas. Don't worry about the statistical ramifications of voting for your candidate.
I don't agree with you that Radio is dead. While it is true that most people don't sit at home listening to the radio anymore as they did in the early days of radio, what about while people are for instance driving? If radio was dead, would car makers still put radios in every car? Would there still be as many radio stations as their are now? I don't think radio is anywhere near dead.
Uh if they were scamming people they wouldn't use COD... they'd use credit cards or something, what are they going to do, mass produce fake cards and deliever them to people to collect the COD's (Cash on DELIVERY)...
Once again, Time's "Person of the year" does not mean its someone who you should look up to or aspire to be, its who had the most influence in one year. I personally don't agree that Bezos influenced world events the most, but I don't even want to start on that now.

Hey, I thought it was a decent movie. Regardless of the physics problem, if you just take it as fiction it isn't horrible.
