Of course, it would be totally impossible to "steer" the spacecraft into a non-straight-up attitude. Gosh, I can't imagine how Rutan, who has built more highly advanced aircraft than you have ever seen, would make such an oversight.
George Washington said that political parties "...serves to distract the Public Councils, and enfeeble the Public Administration....agitates the Community with ill-founded jealousies and false alarms; kindles the animosity of one....against another....it opens the door to foreign influence and corruption...thus the policy and the will of one country are subjected to the policy and will of another."
Excerpted from his farewell address. I think he's right on every single point.
With the family whatchamacallit, without a constitutional amendment the law would be susceptible to overrule based on the 14th amendment. (equal protection under the law)
Bush is a right wing authoritarian with a religious agenda.
You're arguing that he is not a conservative in the classic, small gov't sense. On that front, I totally agree with you. However, the "conservative" movement has been hijacked, and Bush is at the forefront of that hijack.
No, he is not a classical conservative. Perhaps you've heard of the "Neo-cons"? They are really really a lot not liberal.
"The third parties have to do the exact smae thing the big-2 have to do in order to be on the ballot."
Provably false. Sorry, you're off your nut. How many petitions did the reps n' dems have to collect to get on the ballot? How many ballots were they excluded from?
Seriously, I'm totally at sea here. Either you're crazy (and I'm crazy for talking to you) or you're using "liberal" and "conservative" in a very creative way.
The reason third parties will never be a factor is that they have to spend all their money just GETTING ON THE BALLOT, and then have relatively little remaining to actually get into the fight with the big parties.
All I'm saying is that the "third parties" (it's no coincidence that all zillion of the other parties are lumped together with that title) should have a level playing field with the Republicans and the Democrats. Right now, it's very much not, and that's not right.

Watch that knee jerk, buddy. Get ya in trouble. : )
Can I have some antimatter?
Er, I think you missed this sentence.
"I think that you are confusing them with the high power active sonars used by the Navy, which I can only imagine as deafening to whales and dolphins"
Defensive much?
Diesel boats are extremely quiet when running from their battery stack, and they are a major tactical threat to even the most modern Navy.
Hubris indeed. It's easy to get your ass kicked by a foe you don't respect.
It also sends data at one character per many seconds.
If the US loses its satellite constellations, not being able to send messages to subs will be the least of our worries. EVERYTHING runs on GPS now.
I hope somebody smarter than me at the Pentagon has thought about this and has a contingency plan.
I wish to pick a nit.
"Television is inherently inferior to the big screen"
Horse shit.
Would you argue that short stories are inherently inferior to novels?
Different media. Different methods. Different requirements. Different standards.
I've seen TV shows that I like more than movies. I've seen movies that I like more than TV shows. Your point is ridiculous.
I'm a cow.
Thanks for the sentiment. Good luck with that financial report. : )

Oh gosh, maybe he didn't.
You're absolutely right.
Wannahireme?
I'll take the Gmail, Alex!
Can I have a cookie?
Methinks I have located the problem.
"if decently programmed"
We're talking about Microsoft here.
I'm really curious as to what's going to happen if the Iraqis appoint a theocracy. Then we'll see what a big fan of democracy and freedom Mr. Bush is.
This makes it OK how exactly?
Step 1) Get rid of PATRIOT.
Step 2) Get rid of RICO.
Step 3) Rationalize drug policy.

"Reign" means to rule, as in the reign of Queen Elizabeth.
"Rein" means to change direction or stop, as in reining in a horse.
Rein is correct in your sentence.
Just in case you were curious.

As opposed to campaign in Oregon, Florida, Ohio, and Pennsylvania and ignore the rest of the country.
The Republican Party and the Democratic Party run every election in the US. They make the rules, they print the ballots.
There ya go.
If somebody wants to be President, they sure ought to be able to gracefully handle a loaded question.
Of course neither of these yahoos can take a dump without asking every political adviser in a 200 mile radius...
If that's true, why is so much money being spent on systems to surveil the American populace at large?
If they're not interested in me, why are they watching?

So you're saying George Bush is a liberal?

I understand that. The electors are irrelevant. The Presidency is not.
Right, because the President writes all these laws and passes them by fiat. They don't have to be APPROVED BY THE SENATE or anything.
Come on.
