More along the lines of the centerest small government Libertarian. The anti Right/Left Wing libertarian that believes you can have both economic and personal freedom, you can have all the beliefs you want, right or left, just don't make the government enforce those beliefs on all. While extremist left could be considered Socialism/Communism, and extreme right would be Fascism, extremist Libertarian would be capitalist/anarchist. The old Socialist/anarchist Libertarian party developed into the liberal democratic party.
I came up with the wording for that during my commute a couple of days ago and was just itching to post it. Sorry didn't really mean it to be anything other than funny. Your post just was the first one to remind me of the quick thought I had.
Both candidates are not qualified to run the government equally but differently. Rather than voting for another bad president may I suggest voting for a 3rd party. Especially one that is for election reform that would allow us to get away from this horrid 2 party system that gives us nothing but extreme candidates from either end of the political field. I can't vote for Kerry without losing things important to me, yet I can't vote for Bush without losing things important to me.
To not vote 3rd party is a waste of a vote to help perpetuate a system that is nothing more than promoting power grabs from either side. To insure the left has power they grab as much as they can while in office, the right does the same thing. This is all at the expense of our rights and freedoms.
We can have both economic freedom and personal freedom. Please vote accordingly.
Funny I'm going to my second base ball game in 31 years of life today. The last one I felt like it was way to slow. I would get distracted from the game by talking to others and drinking beer. When something good actually happened I would completely miss it. I would then pay attention to the game for a little while until I got bored and get back to conversing.
The game was more of a distraction than anything and I would miss anything that was "exciting" anyway. But it is a free outing form work as part of our "team building exercises"
"Obviously you'll have a number of hard-core libertarians who are more like anarchists than anything. But you'll find wackos in every party. I'm not sure why you think the libertarian thinkers are more wacko than the rest."
Exactly right, what the grandparent post was saying is like saying all democrats are socialists and are republicans are fascists. While the "wacko" ones are they are not all. Only because their ideals are based on moderate versions of what they are associated with doesn't mean that the entire party is that way.
Unfortunately I see the Democrats and Republicans both moving closer and closer to their extremest positions more to spite the other side that for any logical good reason.
Although I believe strongly in the Libertarian party ideals it is unfortunately a weaker ideal then most other parties. It focuses on reducing government power. When that power is reduced then you have less power to continue reducing it. Other parties focus on getting as much power as they can. By getting more power they are able to gain more control over their ideals.
I do belive that the forefathers Wanted a Libertarian type restrictions when they wrote the constitution. Which is why checks and balances were put in place. Unfortunately While it made sure that no one portion of the government could grab significantly more power than others, it didn't stop the entire government from gaining more and more power not offered to it in the original constitution.
Some things that should have been added to the constitution in my eyes.
1. Power difficult to get, easy to lose. Impeachment should be easy to put into place. 2. Laws should have sunset renewal clauses. With out major thought put into it something along the lines of a law is created, after a year is is re-voted on, then exponentially from there at 2, 4 8 16 years. 3. Laws should require only %50 vote to be made but require 2/3 vote upon renewal from sunset. because the benefits to these laws should be obvious by now. 4. Laws should all be very limited in scope. Either by putting a limit on the length or by putting power in the lower judicial branch to reject a law based on it covering too many bases. 5. Please other Libertarians help me out with some things.
wow I did not know this. This is very interesting. What tells the kernel which/lib/ is the elf binary interpreter, I always that that was built into the kernel completely and didn't require a seperate file.
I made something very similar to this in a cluster environment. the Head of the cluster was the only system that had rw access to the nfs mounted root filesystem. Each of the nodes had a boot floppy with a kernel that had it's ip address and host name appended to the kernel boot parramiter and nfs root configuration. (this could have been done better but development never got that far) The home directories were shared via nfs amongst the cluster. and there were sever files that were linked to a/local version of the file located on the floppy (all just text conf files such as/etc/network/interfaces.)
This worked rather well as I could do apt-get update && apt-get upgrade on the master node and all the nodes in the system would be updated, execpt services wouldn't be restarted so depending on what was updated, the nodes should be rebooted. Being in a cluster this wasn't a problem because we could just do a rolling reboot of each node and produce zero downtime.
Each kernel was custom compiled specific for the hardware with no initrd to simplify the boot process although this wouldn't really simplify if the hardware was inconsistant.
To help clarify, the X Servers are also known as X Display Servers, Think of the Server's service being the keyboard and monitor while the clients on the big system are providing a client service to the display server.
" but saying "Pot should be legal" and "there should be no regulation with no middle ground" (which is what that party is perceived to stand for) won't win it. They need to do better."
Minor correction. That's not what the party is perceived to stand for it IS what the party stands for.
one more minor correction, those are results of what the party stands for, not what the party stands for. The primary thing that Libertarians stand for is smallest possible government that still provides adequate service of the people, mostly being home land defense. I consider myself libertarian but there are several issues that I am not quite as extreme on as many of the extreme libertarians are.
Wow, I always thought I had some kind of ADD. my mind wanders a quite abit and I do have a problem of doing work really hard then suddenly stop, refresh slashdot, look through the head lines, load up some interesting ones, read some comments, maybe post, then get a drink, take a leak, then come back and pick up on work right where I left off.
But I also can have very intense concentration on things a lot of people can't seem to do. Painting D&D figurines, building furnature, programming, trying out every linux application that comes up on freshmeat (haven't done that lately but did a few years ago). but then I also can't do things like watch long TV shows. Tivo is a part of that but even now with Tivo it tells me how long a movie is and I will be unable to commit to a 2 hour movie. Now I can't seem to commit myself past the 15 minute cartoons that my Tivo grabs from adult swim.
Sometimes I think reading slashdot is slacking off at work, then I see the smokers who spend 15 minutes of every hour out side in the smokeing area, and I just click refresh.
Old trick i used in Final Fantasy 2 I found out that if you hold left and right at the same time your characters would walk back and forth getting attacted by things in the area. Once I got to a high enough level I could use this to get items in diffrent areas but cracking open a controller, tapeing down left right and I think it was "A" button. this way I could leave it on all day at school or all night while I slept and see what new and cool items I found the next morning. the Admantium armor I remember was one of the hardest items to get. You could leave the thing on for 2-3 weeks and not ever find it. I did finaly find 2 after several months of running it like that.
1. The Gore victory rally isnt celebrating a Florida win. It was held before the polls had even opened.
2. Like all the other networks, Fox mistakenly said that Gore had won in Florida. The first network to retract the Florida mistake was CBS, not Fox.
3. A 6-month study by a consortium of major newspapers shows that Bush would have won the Florida recount under any of the terms which Gore sought in his lawsuits.
4. Investigation by the Palm Beach Post and others shows that race was not a reason why election officials mistakenly disqualified some voters because they were incorrectly thought to have felony convictions.
5. Bushs Presidency before 9/11 was not in serious trouble. No commentator said that he looked like a lame-duck president. Congress had passed his #1 bill (the tax cut) and was on the way to passing his #2 bill (the education bill). The scene at the end of the movie in which Bush tells a rich audience I call you my base, was from an October 2000 charity fund-raiser. Both Gore and Bush spoke at the fund-raiser and, as is the custom at the fund-raiser, made fun of themselves.
6. In his first eight months in office before September 11th, George W. Bush was on vacation, according to the Washington Post, forty-two percent of the time. As the Washington Post reported, the figure includes weekends, and includes time in vacation locations such as Camp David, where Bush was workingas when he met with Tony Blair.
7. In the golf course scene (about the middle of the movie), Bush had just heard about a terrorist attack on Israel. He called the press together to make a quick statement condemning the terrorism against Israel. He was not speaking about attacks on the United States.
8. There is no evidence that Bush did not read the Aug. 6, 2001 Presidential Daily Briefing about al Qaeda.
9. He never claimed that the titles vagueness was an excuse for not reading it.
10. The Briefing did not say said that Osama bin Laden was planning to attack America by hijacking airplanes. It said that the FBI has not been able to corroborate such a threat.
11. The Saudis left the U.S. only after air travel was opened for the general public.
12. According to Richard Clarke and the September 11 Commission, Clarke personally approved the Saudi departures, and the decision went no higher in the chain of command.
13. Moore lied to a TV reporter in claiming that Fahrenheit discloses Clarkes decision to the audience. Clarke called the Saudi exit material in Fahrenheit a mistake by Moore.
14. Contrary to what Fahrenheit claims, the September 11 Commission found that many Saudis were asked detailed questions before being allowed to leave.
15. James Bath did not invest bin Laden family money in Bushs energy company Arbusto. He invested his own money.
16. Baths name was blacked-out from an Alabama National Guard record released by the White Houseas required by federal law, which prohibits the disclosure of health-related personal information.
17. Prince Bandar has way too much influence on the U.S. government, as Fahrenheit shows, but American coddling of the Saudi tyranny is a long-standing bi-partisan tradition, not a Bush invention.
18. Harken Energy: Bush only sold the stock after company lawyers told him it was OK.
19. The reason that Bush beat the rap was because there was no evidence he had engaged in insider trading.
20. The Carlyle Group is not a Bush playground. Many Bush opponents are investors, including George Soros.
21. The Bush administration dealt Carlyle a huge financial blow by canceling the Crusader missile, one of the few weapons cancellations in the Bush administration.
22. The bin Ladens dropped out of Carlyle before the stock sale. Of the 1.4 billion that the Saudis invested in companies with Bush connections, the vast majority of the money was invested in Carlyle before George H.W. Bush joined the firm.
Sorry but you are way off. Even this article which is very much trying to prove your point gives the numbers as:
"The wealth distribution chart below shows that the top 1% own 38.1% of the wealth in the country, the next 4% own 21.3%, and the next 5% own 11.5%. That is to say, the top 10% of the country owns 70.9% of the wealth of this nation!"
Ok, think economics on a macro level not micro level.
we benefit because
foreign company makes shoes, price matirials + minor labor say $5
show sells in another foreign country at cost $5 + shipping $2 + Nike profit $10-100.
now that $10-100 profit goes to a Nike corporate person or investor.
They then take the $10-100 and fill up their SUV at the gas station and go for a picnic that they otherwise wouldn't have gone on.
Now, the Grocer, gas station attendant, Walmart (for picnic supplies), SUV maker, Street builder, park plant builder, park maintainer, etc etc etc all have something to do to support that exec and they will erode that $10-100 away back into the us economy.
Remember that the first lesson of economics may be supply and demand, but the next most important concept is that money has no value unless it is spent. If people horde money it does nobody any good.

I'm an American (actually I have dual-citizenship, but that's neither here nor there)
Not to nit-pik but isn't that both here and there?
Yea, those other countries wouldn't think us USians were such ego driven megalomaniacs with superiority complexes if they weren't so damn inferior.

Soccer is about as much fun to watch as a marathon, except in soccer they just don't run in a stright line.
Ohh man I hope the first virus/worm/trojan based on this has is named after an STD.
I was surfing porn and got herpies.
That would be soooo funny.
Well yea because you wouldn't expect a file cabnet to shred your files.
On the other hand Microsoft spent years conditioning people to belive that computers just randomly shred your files.
