“There’s an old saying in Tennessee — I know it’s in Texas, probably in Tennessee — that says, fool me once, shame on, shame on you. Fool me, you can’t get fooled again.” —President George W. Bush, Nashville, Tenn., Sept. 17, 2002
I was referring to the statement that "PAPER" can be secured better than digital information.
The Pentagon Papers were just that: Paper. Despite the TOP SECRET designation stamped on each sheet of that paper, they were photocopied and distributed.
Burning paper does not secure the words and images thereon. It merely destroys THAT particular paper the words and images are on. If there's even one copy, then the information in that particular destroyed document is not 'secure'.
The Pentagon Papers were secure... until Ellsberg loaded them into photocopier and sent copies to the NY Times.
Securing information is difficult at the best of times. It needs to be available to authorized parties and yet kept safely secured from unauthorized eyes.
Burning only secures out of date information, notes, etc, as well as destroying sensitive information in the case of, say, an invasion of your embassy, military base or captured aircraft or warship.
That you can't sell your TWO OTHER HOMES in this economy is the fault of your Republican/Conservative buddies in Congress that allowed Wall Street to almost completely destroy the world economy.
You drive a pick up truck. Whoop-de-fucking-shit. I can imagine the bumperstickers festooning the tailgate.
"...your own pathetic low self-esteem." I LIKE having low self-esteem. It makes me feel special! (la la LA la la!)
So, you come here, complaining about your butthurt, complaining about the taxes on your THREE HOMES, but NOT blaming it all on the people YOU voted in for the last two administrations.
Where the fucking fuck were YOU when Bush and Cheney and the rest of that crowd were fucking you up the ass with the legislation YOU and YOUR teabagger buddies ignored for 8 fucking years? Where were YOU and YOUR teabagger buddies when Bush and Cheney added a few trillion dollars to the debt to pay for Chimpy's "My dick is bigger than my daddy's dick" vanity war in Iraq?
"Hit the dirt and give me twenty"? Sorry Mr. Butthurt. You don't get to give ANYONE orders anymore. You're just another poor schmuck, just like me now.
Oh, look! He's playing the veteran card. Yeah, EMBRACE the suck! That's what a lot of you mil-spec types AND your GOP buddies were saying about the appalling conditions at Walter Reed a few years ago. So, some shit happened to you in the military. EMBRACE THE SUCK, then. Just like you told those poor fuckers in that VA facility.
S'matter there, GI Joe? I don't fall to my knees and kiss your shiny, shiny boots of leather? That's a Lou Reed song, not real life.
Turn off the Fox Lying Bullshit channel and look around you. Read something other than a Murdoch owned newspaper.
Whatever financial mess you're in, it's not the fault of anyone on the left. It's all in YOUR lap. You voted for the GOP, your butthurt is all your fault.
Am I sorry your official Randy Ayn teabagger panties are in a knot?
Nope. Not my fault and not my problem. I voted for Gore and Kerry and Obama, and NOT for Chimpy McCokespoon nor for Grampy and Trampy!
Gee, you know, I find it very hard to work up any sympathy whatsoever for you, seeing as how MY home is a tiny studio apartment in a rather sketchy neighborhood on the outskirts of Boston.
If you find your tax burden so unbearable, sell two of your houses and live in the one remaining home. Just think of all that extra money you'll have to pay medical bills... Oh, right. Vets. You get VA benefits. Maybe even Medicare. Are you collecting Social Security? I bet you are.
Don't tell me. Let me guess. You vote Republican and you not only find the "ideas" of the Teabaggers intriguing, you do indeed subscribe to their newsletter.
I would break out the world's smallest violin and play you a mournful tune, but you know, I just can't seem to get worked up over your butthurt.
So just hop into your HUMMER and go drive someplace where someone just might give a fuck about you.

Look, you already quoted Neil Bortz, demonstrating your inability to think for yourself.
You didn't need to reinforce that demonstration by repeating the conservatard/teabagger, well, one can't call it a "talking point", it's more an "inarticulate string of sounds, accompanied by copious drooling point" about teachers unions.
Please stop using the Internet. You're getting your stupid all over everything.
"Combat these botnets through some type of mandatory scan and removal tool from their ISP or Microsoft, and also through some tool installed with Windows Update that runs immediately."
I suppose I should be sorry to tell you this, but America's founders were Deists, Unitarians, Atheists and Freemasons.
Scarcely the creme of "christianity".
Oh, also. Most Americans have no beef about using embryos for research that will help humanity. The research IS being done, despite your butthurt, in Europe and Asia, where christian lunatics have no say in the matter.
So, here's the deal. People like you are dying out. Every generation more and more people reject your 'religion'. Your book of the collected myths, fables and superstitions of bronze age nomadic desert herders and the death cults they belonged to, is ignored and rejected.
I have no idea what exists for Windows or X-Box, but those of us that use OS X have Little Snitch.
Little Snitch pops up an alert anytime an application attempts to access the Internet. No matter what app you may be using at the time, Little Snitch pops up that alert box.
You then have the option to allow/deny either once, until you quit that particular app that triggered the alert, or forever.
You can even get some more detailed info on the attempt via the alert box.
If/when drivers for Kinect are available for OS X, having a Kinect atop my flatscreen TV, and the TV/Kinect hooked to the Mac/Skype/iChat/FaceTime would be insanely cool.
And all watched over by Little Snitch, making sure that the only time I'm on an Internet video feed is when I decide.

Randroids/Teabaggers with modpoints don't like it when their fantasies about teleprompters get shattered by reality.
Speaking of reality:
“There’s an old saying in Tennessee — I know it’s in Texas, probably in Tennessee — that says, fool me once, shame on, shame on you. Fool me, you can’t get fooled again.” —President George W. Bush, Nashville, Tenn., Sept. 17, 2002
Trust a Teabagging know-nothing to assume that I consider President Obama my "leader".
But then, the Randroid/Teabagger lives in a world of simplistic assumptions and willful ignorance.
Speaking of "uses a teleprompter and fails miserably at it"
“There’s an old saying in Tennessee — I know it’s in Texas, probably in Tennessee — that says, fool me once, shame on, shame on you. Fool me, you can’t get fooled again.” —President George W. Bush, Nashville, Tenn., Sept. 17, 2002
Refudiate that, Teabagger.
"2. Newspaper article"
What newspaper article might this be then?
The birth announcements in the local newspapers at the time?
The birth announcements that the NEWSPAPERS at the time ONLY got from the HAWAII DEPT. OF HEALTH?
That the "newspaper article" you're citing as some half-assed "evidence" against President Obama being a natural born American citizen?
Teabaggers: A never ending source of natural born idiocy.
...is thick in the air today. Somebody open up a window!
McCain using teleprompter .
Palin using teleprompter
President Chimpy McCokespoon using teleprompter

" 'words on paper can be made secure, electronic archives not.'"
Really? Really? You really said that and seriously meant it?
"Without the Death Penalty there can be no justice."
With no Death Penalty, there can be no state sanctioned murder of a wrongly convicted innocent person.
Yes, it's off topic.

And how does that apply to someone who bought a Kinect and is using it on their Mac, their Linux box or their hacked Roomba with open source drivers?
"Naww, it's just Monkey Boy channeling Paul Reubens: "Pee Wee Herman" I meant do to that! "
Please tell me how MS could push Kinect updates that would break third party software on Mac OS and Linux?
"Combat these botnets through some type of mandatory scan and removal tool from their ISP or Microsoft, and also through some tool installed with Windows Update that runs immediately."
I run Mac OS X, you insensitive clod!
"FYI: Freemasonry isn't a religion."
But Freemasons HAVE to be 'religious'!
Says so in the rules and initiations.
There! I've run rings around you logically!
"Why is a child produced through rape or incest any less deserving of life than one who was not?"
Because the mother had no say in the matter when being raped by a stranger, friend or father/other male relative.
Ergo, that uterine parasite is just that. A parasite. Like a tapeworm or a botfly.
Cut it out and flush it down the crapper.
"Without the Death Penalty there can be no justice."
With no death penalty, the State cannot accidentally OR deliberately murder innocent people.
