    I get this image now of a Drone flying with a suide bomber straped on shouting directions using a AAA Trip-Tic type map.

    One now has to question, "can Open Source Stealth Drone software work better than Closed Sores Stealth Drone software?"

    From the public record, it can't work any worse.

    I have this image of a beatiful drone created by Iranian engineers. Then on the Drones maiden flight, it crashes in the same place as the U.S.Drone.

    Maybe they won't copy ALL of it.

    The public record shows that Tea Party advocates are taking full responsibility for stopping the President of the United States; in what ever he tries to accomplish. One has to question why the T.P.Crew is not also taking responsibility for their other impacts on the rest of we Americans?.

    Seeing that we're on the topic of patriotism. And now that I think about it. I don't see any of the T.P.Crew helping any American. Where is the public record of, "the T.P.Crew did this, and because of that, those Americans over there are now doing better?" I don't see it!? Ignore the patriotism card; I've seen this type of retoric before, but it's in a fourth world state. And what happens next is not fun.

    The building was on the Moon? Then NASA could stop watching re-runs of its glory daze. Maybe one day NASA will accept Google Lunar X Prize challenge?

    Another arguments are:

    Maybe, but what I've witnessed. It's usually business types that weep about how are they supposed to understand what it is that they pander to the public. More interestingly, Prison seems to be a great motovator in educating business types as to what it is that they hock to their clients.

    Modding you down may be harsh, but the wording should not get in the way of the point. The one thing I see occuring that really bothers me is that soverign states are pandering to a bankrupt business model currently being peddled by the handlers of larger businesses. These same soverign states appear to think that when big business shows up, that's good; it's not. When the personality in a management decision position is bribed, then those that make decisions will make decisions, but for the wrong reasons. Which begs the question, why is it that handlers of large businsses are not held acccountable by their own soverign states? Why is it that brand names can stand unchallenged when they benefit from a lie? Why is that it is a Buyer Beware instead of a Seller Beware conversation? Why is it that Insurance companies are allowed make policy when they can't back it?

    You set off a metal detector at an airport and were wavied through, pre 9-11? OKaaaaay, sure. As for Bush-X, Bro-Jeb personally believes that the ballot box is were the Bushes can take a dump. Reivew of the public record of "Lost Ballots in Florida Found." As for little Bush Jr., This country has never experienced such a crushing blow, unless one goes back 200 years. Of course the handlers of the Tea Party minions are starting to represent. Review the public record for questions. When it comes to Honour, in the Bush family; it skiped a generation? So from my viewpoint, Hobby 2.0 sounds better.
