And his daddy delivered Illinois to JFK on a silver platter in '60. Helped by Giancana and friends. Just like LBJ did with Texas. If those two state had been recounted, Nixon would have won then.
Any election can be rigged or bought. Just look at 90% of the elections held in Chicago in the last 80+ years. Capone, then the "Dailey machine", seems like a never ending story with another Dailey in the Mayors office now.
The pay of The House and the Senate should be the average or median wage of the nation, whichever is lower. Then we'd get some job and tax legislation that actually does something. They should also have their pension system dissolved and pay Social Security like the rest of us. They do not pay a dime, does that give anyone a hint about how much they really care. Which party they belong to is irrelevant, who pads there pockets is what matters.
Thats it. Our founding fathers envisioned a citizen legislature that went to DC, did there job and went home to real jobs. Never a permanent ruling class. Today it is close to impossible to defeat an incumbant.
Is the cost of living versus wages. No politician can afford to let out that the real poverty level(for a family of 4, since thats the standard they use) is about $28,000/year. A family making less has little to no health coverage(but makes too much for assistance), rents housing, buy used vehicles and appliances. Today anyone making any salary in the U.S. can buy 30% of what there parents did 40 years ago with the same money.
It's time to elect amatures to every office at every level. Look what the pros have done to us.
Don't worry, someone on/. will try to make it all Bush's fault anyway. Even with more CEOs in court than ever under this administration, the liberals say Bush does nothing to control business criminal activity. Find the logic.
Just like can-spam. Because they make it too complicated. It is really a case of illegal electronic surveillance, just like an illegal wiretap. You shouldn't be allowed to do it without a court order. The last I heard that was already a felony.
As usual they would rather pass a new pile of crap than enforce whats already on the books.
Then try to explain why Rather was saying that Vietnam was not important and shouldn't have any bearing on the election just five months ago. Now he goea for this story and gets the shaft over it. That producer should be fired. It doesn't really matter though, all network news will be irrelevant by the next election. They allready are, with their total lack of objectivity, just to stupid to know it.
When the Colonel's son says that it's not his Dads signature, I start believing it's forged. Even CBS isn't that stupid. But someone used their own prejudice to con the hell out of them.
If CBS news had not sought anything to help a planned agenda, they would not have been caught. They went in search of anything to make Bush look bad because they want the election to go the other way. That is not journalism by any definition. If they just objectivly reported the news, they wouldn't be the news, but they would be honest.
Lobbyists make large campaign contributions. After that is understood, everything else falls into place. Yes, all our representatives are bought and paid for.
It might be time to elect amatures to all offices. Look what the professional have done to us!
Lyndon Johnson made the current administration look like nice people. When a reporter pissed him off, he called that reporter's boss and got him reassigned or fired. LBJ, the most strong armed tactical administration of the 1900's. He treated Congress the same way. During his 20+ years in the House and Senate, he learned where everyones skeletons were. When needed, he threatened to expose them.
The days of the press turning a blind eye to Presidential mis-behavior are thankfully over. Thats why Clinton got hammered for what was ignored, and done a hell of a lot more often, by JFK.
Of course all networks have found that they have to cater to their advertisers. The people paying the bills are more in charge than ever, and thats not always a good thing. Just another special interest problem.
True objective news reporting can only be had by watching Fox and CNN, then figure out the middle between them.
The NR1 is the only thing the Navy owns that has a manitulated aem. Alvin and the others are mostly owned by Woods Hole. All of those would be better at rigging something to be lifted.
The fact that it's in 12 feet of water does make one wonder why it wasn't recovered 40 or so years ago.
" I'd start with three independant environmental impact statements"
Thats six years and a Billion dollars wasted.
"fining the responsible parties $US 1 billion each ( all individuals and organisations involved )"
Five of the Presidents are dead, good luck collecting, although the idea of a penniless Ted Kennedy is amusing.
As for "right wing apologists" What about the four Democrat administrations involved?
You are obviously too emotionaly reactionary to use any common sense. All that needs to be done is find a way to get it, and dispose of it. It's not the only nuke out there. There are two at ten thousand feet with the Scorpion and Lord only knows how many Russian ones(they will never tell).
Sorry, Alvin is manned and is about to be retired. The new version is even better. The original Alvin also participated in the retrieval of the lost bomb off of Spain in the late 60's.
Creation and science can get along if both are looked at with an open mind. Go back and read Genesis in the Bible. All it says is WHY God created. No where does it say exactly how. As long as you accept that His sense of time is a bit different thant ours(7 days to Him could be 700 milineums to us) it is possible. He could have caused the big bang. All it take is an open mind. Which is in very short supply on/.
I work in a white box store. We get boxes in all the time that shipped with 98 and now have XP on them. Wake me up when it finishes booting. Most of the ones this month are maxed out with 128Mb RAM, that is painful with XP. Luckily when I'm doing a Spy/AD/Malware tune up, I have three boxes in process at once so I can work on something while the others kludge along.
The worst? A Gateway P233mmx with 64Mb RAM and XP Pro. Over ten minutes to boot.
If you look at whats happening to the leaders of Tyco, Enron, Worldcom, and others, the leaders of fraudulent corporations ARE going to jail. I will not pretend to know where the DOJ draws the line between fines and jail, but there is one. Maybe severity of the crime or actual damage? Enron destroyed their employees retirement funds and crippled many investors. Memmory makers have not done that level of damage.
Thats it. If you can get the same performance for $100 less, thats an extra hard drive, or an upgraded video card, or More RAM. You could get a better motherboard that can be upgraded for years!
People will normaly go for the bargain if the quality is still there. That is more true when the economy is down. Intel just doesn't give enough bang for the buck.
Waste storage containers leak all too often. Thats one of the reasons the clean up was so expensive at the old Charleston, SC Navy base. Metal containers, even stainless steel, can't take the corrosiveness of the radioactive liquids and plastics deteriorate too fast for long term storage. Add in the fact the the underground storage at WIPP in NM is a salt mine, more corrosive. In Washington they cut the entire reactor compartment (de-fueled) from the submarines being cut up for scrap and place it in a container, then bury them at Hanford.
If there was a way to safely dispose of the waste, nuclear power would be one of the answers. If nothing else, make all power plants conform to U.S.N. standards and let the Navy run them.

I wonder how history would be different?

The modding of my post proved my point. Thanks.

It sure got rid of the telemarketwits. If they allowed IP's with the phone numbers it would get rid of 90% of SPAM too.
How about we add IP addresses to the do not call list. That seems to work pretty well. The method of delivery shouldn't matter, just the content.
I almost got a degree in Marketing before I realized I wasn't qualified, I have a consience!
It's his people in charge at Justice doing the prosecutions.

Windows allows so many TSR's in any version that memory in any quantity will run out over time. The only simple solution is a regular reboot.
Why is there no back up system on a different reboot schedule? Seems like a simple solution.
How would the average between Fox and the Clinton News Network be to the right? You could tilt it left by adding CBS or ABC.
