Well for me, I've decided on who I'm going to vote against - every incumbent. I was going to leave the Presidential vote blank, but then I realized a blank vote would be counted as a vote for Al Gore. So... I'll be writing in Kodos.
No, it's not very complicated at all. The "Bush is an idiot" is simply a part of the liberal stereotype of republicans. They'll say Bush is a moron controlled behind the scenes by those evil neo-cons and by political mastermind Karl Rove. They did the same to Reagan - he's just an actor reading lines given to him by the vast right-wing conspiracy of warmongers. The reason for this is simple, minimize the man and you minimize his position on the issues, then you have to defend your own position less vigorously. You're right though, part of it is elitism, but it's also a clever political tactic.
Can I say all this in an article posted by michael?
Yeap, nothing's going to change while we have professional politicians running things. My current voting strategy is to skip the Presidential vote and for the rest vote against every incumbent of any party.
I can sympathize with this guy. I fell for a scam too that promised to let me retire in comfort. I don't know how they got my name either. I'm still paying for it today and I'm sure the rest of my life. I'm having 7.5% deducted from every paycheck because of it. Just watch out for these scammers, this group calls themselves "Social Security". I don't know if they're from Nigeria or not though.
can't we just have a narco-elective commune? you know, have a rotating psuedo-executive of the week? then every group can have a chance to run the country into the ground.
Because this story is -1 Flamebait for the slashdot crowd, gives them yet another opportunity to vent their spleen about those evil rich people. Odd though that none of these stories mention that all this wealth is tied to their co's stock value and that the dow is up %10 and nasdaq is up %36 for the year so far.
I just got a new pc with XP on it after a mb failed on old one last week. Decided to run windows update this morning. 30 "critical" updates, 11 xp updates and 3 driver updates. And this is a pc packaged in July.
I truly believe that if you don't vote (or in an Australian citizen's case cast a blank ballot) you have no place to criticize politics or the actions of politicians until you do so.
because I don't exercise one right, I'm denied another? I'll go vote when there's someone running for office who truly wants to represent the people and not their own personal aspirations for power and control. Until then, I'll continue to exercise my right to express my opinions and tell you and any others like you to bite my knob.
So in FF mode the Tivo is just skipping frames right? Is it possible then to edit a commercial so that every 5 frame (or however many) shown in a row still makes a coherent commercial? Is the frame skip consistent?
I'm soooo glad this story came on so I can vent.... BASTARDS!!!!
I've gone from a simple dislike to a passionate hate of this company. I'm trying to transfer domains from these morons to Joker for 2 weeks now. Each time it takes Netslo 5 days to reject them. Inquiries to Netslo reply with cut-n-paste uselessness. I found the problem yesterday. Netslo's request to confirm the transfer emails came in with the subject "Information about your account". Guess where these where going?/dev/null
I contend these domain name jackals purposely wrote the subject to get snuffed by spam filters. Every other email from them contain the domain name in the subject line except for these transfer confirms.
Now I've wasted money on a last minute payment to prevent an expire and on a non-refundable transfer fee to Joker. Their "Customer Retention" tactics are more pathetic than AOL's.
This "interpret 'bullshit'" (as you so elogquently call it) is what legal scholars and courts have done for over two centuries. Try reading the Supreme Court decisions and look at the opinions which explain the reasoning. They don't just flip coins or decide things on whims.
No they don't. But they do base it on personal, political and religious biases when they "interpret" it.
This isn't the 1770s. States don't train people in militias. No one expects a bunch of farmers with muskets to defend our country to to keep in check a government gone awry. The Constitution is a living document. It has to be interpreted in light of social and technological changes.
More Bullshit. Every system of laws and government needs a solid base of support for their existence. How exactly do you preserve freedom when you make the definition of freedom subject to the whims of society?
Did the founding fathers intend for me to be able to own a shoulder-fired SAM? Did they intend for me to be able to brandis an Uzi in a shopping mall?
Did the founding fathers intend for you to have freedom of speech on the radio, TV and Internet?
The President of the NRA is Charlton Heston. He's over 76 years old and has been diagnosed with Alzheimer's. Is he your definition of the "able-bodied" man that was intended to serve in a "well-regulated militia"? Maybe he doesn't have a right to own a gun...
Who cares about Charlton Heston? I don't expect Charlton Heston to protect me and my family from criminals or a government intent on doing me harm. This militia blather is a pointless sidetrack to the core issue. Do citizens have any recourse to defending themselves from the tyranny of government when that government has the force of arms to impose its will on the citizens? EOD.
Or you could go right to the words of the people who wrote the Constitution and learn exactly what the amendments mean and stop this "interpret" bullshit. Read the Federalist Papers, unless of course you find it difficult to have your biases challenged.
That's why we have the Supreme Court, so that we will have some of the finest legal minds making the interpretation.
You liberals are soooo entertaining. When they agree with you on the gun issue, they're the finest legal minds. When they rule otherwise, hmmm, say on a national election issue, they're a bunch of right-wing activists.
... either force the incumbant providers to lease out their wire, or you need to let competitive telecom providers have access to private property to run cable.
I can let whomever I want do whatever I want on my private property. Another fubar in all this is that many utilities have "exclusive" right-of-way leases on poles and underground conduit from the municipalities. If a competitor can't get through the right-of-way to my property, that'll be a problem.

Well, when his company goes under, he'll have a bright future in politics.
Maybe you should be doing some whining to Congress. They're the ones who spend the money.

wow, i wish i could have such a simple minded view of the world like you, this thinking for myself bit is such a strain
go read the telegraph.co.uk story about hussain support of al qaida - will you call it a vast right-wing conspiracy if it proves to be true?
can't we just have a narco-elective commune? you know, have a rotating psuedo-executive of the week? then every group can have a chance to run the country into the ground.

Nah, they have their IE cache settings at "Check for new version = never", that's why there's dupes every other day.
Soooo .... it's not like I'm uploading pr0n ....
