But the electoral system GUARANTEES that one of two parties WILL rule, and they collude with one another to exclude voices and systems that would be more representative of the people.
I don't believe that we are, in any meaningful way, a federation of states anymore. The Federal government can enforce any dictum it wishes, since The Fed has made the states dependent on itself for funding. The Supremacy Clause died in 1865.
Example: San Francisco's pot laws. You might not be arrested by city cops, but the Feds will be glad to bust your door down for you.
Well, my BS in Aerospace Engineering has gotten me to exactly the same spot.
What better choice should I have made, hmm? I thought that this was the best way I could serve my country. Turns out, my country doesn't want my service.
Is one allowed to criticize the President without being categorized as a "Bush basher"?
If not, then I happily count myself a "Bush basher". And, incidentally, I count myself quite conservative. I wish there was a political party I could meaningfully vote for that was also conservative. Too bad.
Tonight I want to take a few minutes to discuss a grave threat to peace, and America's determination to lead the world in confronting that threat.
The threat comes from Iraq. It arises directly from the Iraqi regime's own actions -- its history of aggression, and its drive toward an arsenal of terror.
Your post implied (by parallel structure) that the President did not state that Iraq was a threat. Was this your intention?
The F-16's fly by wire system works just fine. The Thunderbirds seem to avoid running into each other a whole lot.
My point is, state-of-the-art flight controls provide intuitive feedback to the pilot. It's silly to pretend that just because a computer's actually calling the shots, that the rider won't feel connected to the machine and to the road.
The two exceptions I can think of are the test of the Airbus A-310 (320? I'm not certain) prototype that flew into the trees, and the YF-22 that crashed on short final as it entered the ground effect zone and started porpoising. Both problems were solved, and both aircraft are now working great.

Yeah! I HATE it when people other than me get something that they want!
You're not a very nice person.
And correlation became the same thing as causality, when exactly?
Fig 2. The left projector clearly has too much lumen output, saturating the image, the left one is alright.
This is under two pictures, one atop the other, on page 2. My brain hurts.
Just a suggestion, but if you're using the Windows platform, the Firebird installer cleared up the last of my weird glitches.
Good luck. New SBEmail this week. Made me happy. : )

That error is well within the errorbars of several hundred thousand (million?) votes.
I don't call that conclusive evidence.
We'll be sure to ask you whether things are funny before we post in the future. All of us.
What's your phone number?
I know. Just felt like being a jerk. : )
No, not really. My mom says I'm a very nice boy.
Never gonna happen. You heard it here first.
*baffled*
Homestar has looked great on Mozilla for at least a year (when I switched). Works great in Firebird, too. Am I missing something?
Errr....
You mean "lick on their puckered asshole."
But yeah, more or less.

Yup. I sure did fail to memorize the State of the Union address.
I did hear him describe Iraq as a clear and present danger, though.
You're splitting hairs. Maybe you should run for President.

You got a 680 on your verbal, and you write like that?
Boy, they HAVE dumbed that test down.
Al Franken?
You didn't seriously just tell me that Al Franken debunked something in an impartial way, did you?
No, really. THAT Al Franken?
You're kidding, right? That's a joke, right?
Al Franken. *snort* Unbiased. *giggle*
How many unicorns can you see from where you're sitting right now?
I'm sure China couldn't agree with you more.
My left is the one that makes an L when I hold up my hands and point my thumbs at each other, right? I get confused.

Why do they do that?
Simple. It's profitable.
Security by obscurity isn't. Ever.
Just because it's the only viable solution for the majority of users, does not make it a good solution.
There are markets where REGULATED monopolies are probably a good idea.
Software is not one of them.
On what weird planet does increased unsprung weight improve handling? Or are motorcycles different from other wheeled vehicles?
To a layperson operating the device according to the manufacturer's instructions, the distinction is academic. That's all I'm saying.
