I would have agreed with you last election, but I consider the Bush administration to be quite dangerous to the social systems by which the masses are allowed to inform themselves and influence society. So much so that I'm not sure there will be a future the various 3rd party groups can participate in if his neoconservative associates have their way for another 4 years. The greater evil in this case is, by my reckoning of course, too much greater to give it the upper hand.
That being said, I live in Chicago, so I have the luxury of casting much of my vote any way I choose, not much swing around these parts.
If they were to do a movie about your life (almost a certainty at this point), who would you want to represent you onscreen (assuming you can't pick yourself, or clone yourself and make your clone do it)? Who do you think would actually end up performing this herculean task? And what pointers would you give them so they could do the job right.
What will they sell us once their magic potions no longer work? Maybe invent a couple more highly profitable diseases, or just classify more things as pathologies. There just isn't the same profit in prevention.
I felt the same way. I havn't voted for over ten years, but the current situations got me over to the both to punch some holes. Nice and early in the A.M., as they say here in Chicago, "Vote early and vote often".
If nothing else, voting gets retirees something to do for a day.
Dual processors across the board is also a nice way to get rid af Moto G4 chip inventory. These new boxes do seem to be something of an awkward transition.
In regards to the quickie at the end, I recently saw an apple TiBook ad in the movie Showtime. It was a definite planned placement, and was quite noticiable if you were looking for that sort of thing. The ads are out there, right in front of us.
Lack of advanced features in a free, bundled program benefits 3rd party developers who create applications for people who want to do more than play around with something once in a while. I like how Apple is creating a platform with a broad baseline functionality which I can add more sophisticated applications to if I so choose. I really don't want to pay the development cost on programs I'll never use that much (it costs Apple money to put these programs together).
These groups are restricting access to mostly harmless items, but something like a gun, which has few non-harmful uses, (and I'm not anti-gun) can be owned by just about anyone. Fortunately, the battle in this country is more over access to entertainment than to food or medicine. At least for now.

I remember something that David Dellinger (peace activist since WW II) said on the topic of weapons and activism. Essentially the army is way to well armed to confront in an armed fashion. Possesion of weapons will only give one a false sense of power and leave one ripe for arrest or extermination. According to what he said, the FBI would actually try to get activists interested in weapons in order to have something to come down on them on. Kinda like the big guy who can kick your ass as soon as he goads you into taking the first punch.
Its almost as if armed drug dealers run this country and try to control us with the things they do best. Anyone know if this years Afghan smack has made it to the US yet. I'll bet its gonna get real cheap soon.
The atom bomb developed during WWII and deployed against the Japanese was not, compared to conventional air weaponry, and effective weapon. The US had to preserve certain Japanese cities from regular bombing attacks so that there would be something left to bomb when the A bombs were ready.
On the other side of the war (lets use the two-sided model here) there was the Rocket. It, much like its spiritual predecessor the Paris Gun, was also an inneffective use of resources. More people were killed constructing the Rockets than were killed by them in combat. Development of the Rocket took away from Germany's air power and perhaps helped their loss in that arena, or at least hastened it.
Both sides had overestimated the other sides progress in the areas in which they themselves were most advanced.
After the war, the two technologies came together as the ICBM, a dangerous weapon which dramatically changed the nature of the global arena. The cold war was born and much human labor was lost in the making of tools which we hope will never be used.
In regards to what is NOT happening here, as I was growing up on the North Side of Chicago I was regularly searched by police without any sort of due cause, one time standing in my own front yard. My friend and neighbor down the street was shot four times by the police in his own home (but not killed, they just wanted to hurt him) after his mother had called them into the house due to some mental problems he was having (which were created in part by a severe beating he had recieved from police several years before). I'd hate to consider what sort of treatment I would have received were I a young black man in a black neighborhood instead of white in a white one.
The bullet entry wounds looked just like vaccination scars.
Or one could overclock in order to conquer 25% more imaginary landscape. Or kill 25% more imaginary enemies. I work in pubishing. In some cases, the computer-driven speedup of workflow has actually enabled people to become less efficient. These machines don't give time for one to catch one's mistakes before passing them on. Of course, this is not the computer's fault. Sometimes slow is better, and a little time between for a massage or coffee is nice too.

If I agreed with what you stipulate, I would vote Bush as well.
Just out of curiosity, where do you get your information from?

I heard a os x version 7 of photoshop will soon be forthcoming.
