The two major parties are so overly concerned with taking care of those who can't take care of themselves. How can ANYONE claim to be democratic when they want to redistribute our wealth to single mothers, to unemployed people who are perfectly capable of work, to illegal immigrants? Charity should be voluntary, and should be left to churches and charitable organizations, certainly not the federal government. Regardless of whether a Democrat or a Republican has been in the presidential office, the federal government systematically attempts to remove each and every one of our constitutional rights. FDR's socialist tactics were critical to pull the US out of the Great Depression. However, now the economy thrives, yet the government knows these outdated and unnecessary programs are too profitable to overturn. Though I suppose that if my pockets were getting lined by the oppressive taxation and the mandatory social security tax that will never benefit my generation, I probably wouldn't want to abolish it either.
When our forefathers founded the United States, it was built on the promise that here, an individual could live however he pleased and do how he liked, so long as his actions did not restrict anyone else from doing the same. Why does it seem that the ONLY party that wishes to stay true to that spirit is a relatively unseen-and-unheard-from "minor league" player?
Anyway, well said.
Under the Democratic party, man exploits man. Under the Republican party, it's the exact opposite.
There might be open source drivers for the add-in card you got on the 2450. The shoddy closed-source driver is for the on-board Adaptec raid card. Since the AMI is a great deal more expensive than the proprietary on-board controller, which do you think a customer will opt for? So Dell basically says "If you want an open source driver, you need to pay an extra thousand bucks." (And that's making the huge assumption that you are talking to a salesperson who knows how to do more than just take credit card numbers.)
