    A free society is messy....

    Only to those that get off on controlling others. The sane people that are ok with other people being different have no problems with it.

    Want an example? Black Woman married to a white man. The blacks go into a racist rage as hard as the whites do over this. and it's only the controlling insane ones that do.

    The sane people are happy for the couple. Sadly sane people are outnumbered 3 to 1 on this planet.

    I have several high end scanners that have zero support under windows anymore... yet work perfect under linux and OSX.

    You are 100% correct in asserting that windows has the WORST hardware support of all operating systems.

    "Are you a "sheep" for buying an assembled car instead of building one from parts?"

    Yes, in the hotrod and car guy world, those people are considered "poseur sheep", any moron can write a check. Real car guys build their cars. It's why corvette owners get zero respect at car shows unless the car is heavily modded and the guy has photos of the process.

    It's the same as harley riders that pay for oil changes, They are not bikers.

    Realtek chips are $0.0001 each while good chipsets for ethernet are $0.1 each

    Anything with realtek on it is low end junk designed for a price and profit point and not for reliability.

    Slaughter them? Why? They would have made great slaves.

    Humanity is built on slavery, all of the "wonders of the world" were built with slaves.

    The United states was built with slaves.

    And if you actually look at society today, slavery is still rampant just in different forms and disguise.

    "fried chicken, I've pretty much put back on"

    It's the crap on the outside of the fried chicken causing the problem. If chicken places would use a good soy based flour the carb content of fried chicken would drop like a stone. Buddy of mine created a batter for his out of soy that tastes better than anything I have ever had at a chicken joint.

    Restaurants sneak in carbs because carbs are cheap.

    " It is hard to overeat on apples."

    It's because fruit has a built in regulation system, eat 8 apples, and your system will do a high pressure speed purge out the other end. I ate 2 pints of blueberries once... I spent the evening on the toilet afraid to leave it.

    The other problem is that cheap food is full of crap and calories that are not needed. all foods should have the calories and servings printed in large print on the front.

    Many poor people will eat an entire box of mac and cheese dinner for a meal, that is 1450 calories if prepared with skim milk or powdered milk. That is an UNGODLY amount of calories for a single meal, and they will feel hungry in 1 hour because it's all empty calories with no fiber or substance to it.

    If all someone eats is the pre-packaged processed crap in boxes, they will gain weight because a sane calorie amount of that meal is so small, they will over eat because they think they are eating a sensible meal but in reality the calorie count of the pre-packaged crap is sky high and not printed in big letters on the front.

    here is the kicker, anyone with an IQ over 100 and not lazy can make their own wind generators. In fact if you are not completely inept you can easily generate all the electricity you need with low cost parts that are available. All of the knowlege you need is right in front of you, you just have to take the time to search for it and read it.

    Drilling for oil, then refining it yourself with todays available devices and parts is significantly harder than a solar,wind and battery installation.
