So then you believe in governmental preemption of your threads?
Im my mind the govts job is to protect us from enemies (foreign or domestic). I hardly thing toys in happy meals are domestic enemies.
Your analogy fails in that persons are not pre-programmed entities that are supposed to do a certain task. We have the ability to freely associate and if I choose to correct my memory space with spam(burgers), thats my choice.
>..doing nothing is against the people
What? I can think of a ridiculous amount of things that if the gov't had done nothing it would have been FOR the people. It is not the gov's job to protect us from ourselves and our poor personal life choices.
It's not "against" the people to have toys in happy meals. McD isn't forcing anyone to eat their crappy food. For the same price as a happy meal, I can go to any old grocery store in any town in the US and pick up some fruit, wheat bread, and a bottle of water.
This is once again about control in the name of protecting us from some evil.
Yes exactly, I'm saying that the facts of temperature data, etc, aren't political (well unless they were altered).
But the theory of man made climate change is not a-political, even if the facts it is based on are.
My point is, an explosion is also a-political, but the use if that explosion may not be. So you can't just make a blanket statement that a "scientific theory" is a-political like the original poster did.
> It is a-religious and a-political and just generally a-ideological.
This is not always the case. While the *theory* on paper isn't ideological, the reasoning behind the conclusions and how the theory was formulated, and the agenda for pushing whatever the results of the theory are IS very political.
Your argument is like saying guns and missiles are just chunks of metal, they aren't political, therefore the war in Iraq is a-political and there is no agenda behind it.
Yes, but if you use nandroid, it't almost impossible to really be up a creek. Just backup your "clean" image and you can always get back.
I'm played around with some 2.1 roms on my Droid and I love the new features.. but there are a few too many bugs to make me use it on a daily basis.
I have a few roms on my SD and I just boot whatever I want at the moment to play around.

Half the health care debate wasn't on CSPAN at all... we could go back and see the insanity over and over again
