Might I add that your parents helped you and your sister more than any sort of drugs? My parents tried an alternative approach. My father tried medication, for himself. And my mother went the spiritual route. Yes, they were divorced. So I ended up with a drug addict father and a bible thumping mother and me being pulled in all directions. Eh, whatever.
This seems as good a point to complain about public education. It wasn't until two months before I graduated from high school that my art teacher of all people said I had no business being in a regular school. She refered to me as a unique individual. Day late, dollar short, I replied. Eventually, she failed me for that semester. Whatever.
The FCC is an unconstitutional organization, which is not answerable to the people and not accountable. It makes laws, which is wrong; the Congress and Senate should be making the laws.
In general, I think that we should get rid of communications regulations in as much as possible. No one has the right to own the air, and the government attempting to regulate such just hinders the right to freedom of speech: because of commmunication regulations, though everyone has freedom of speech, only the rich can get their message to the public.
Although I agree with you in principle, the Standards set forth by the FCC are what keeps a lot of things from being dangerous. Think how pissed you'd be if your PC speakers were unshielded and messed up you monitor, or some other radiation leak from say a microwave. What about air wars between radio stations where one purposely jams another just for market share. I don't like it any more than you do, but big business isn't going to play nice whether there's a big government or not. The only thing big they concern themselves with is their wallets. Let's face it. There are no big consumers. If I can think of anything more, I'll add another reply.
Remeber, Jesus was a carpenter. He might be driving a pickup, but definatley not a shinny new RAM. More live a beaten up, faded old FORD with the bed full of tool boxes, scraps of wood, cigarette buds and Mexicans.
One reason people are more willing to submit to government intrusion in the name of national security, they are too willing to believe the lie: Of the People, For the Pople, By the People. They think the government is really working in their best interest, many because of this doctrine. They don't trust corporations because they are there to make a buck off of you. I wish they would realize that all the Senators and Congressmen and other beaurocrats are the same people sitting on the board at these ubuer-companies. Why would they need a kickback or bribe when they can legislate to require that which only there company can afford to bid low on? The really bad thing is, if people didn't trust either one with the same degree, their only alternative source of hope would be organized religion. We all know where that road takes up.
Funny, most of the geeks I know are too analretentive to do it with the lights on, let alone use anal beads. But then again, the one I'm specifically thinking of, his wife, well lets just say I'd turn the lights out too.
Well, this is more of an opinion than fact, but a few states, including my own have declared that mooning is not considered indecent exposure. Some judge makes this simple descision only to have it reversed by someone in a higher court who has religiously backed 'morals'. Many rulings get overturned based on one persons FUNDamentalism. Another example; most of the people in my state want a lottery. The religious right doesn't, saying it's a sin. And the last thing we want is someone sinning against, uh, themselves. Of course this is just me bitching about the fundies again. Sorry for wasting your time.
Ten years ago a crack commando unit was sent to prison by a military court for a crime they didn't commit. These men promptly escaped from a maximum security stockade to the Los Angeles underground. Today, still wanted by the government, they survive as soldiers of fortune. If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find them, maybe you can hire the A-Team. The old A-team theme
Dog knows, I'm no Christian, but Jesus did say whatever you do unto the least of these, you do unto me. And as far as I see it an INC is the least of these.
I'm working on my masters degree in experience without setting foot on a campus. Too bad I don't get one of those neat little sheep skin hangy-do's with improtant people's autographs.
Anyone have the feeling that the same people who voted for the DMCA will vote for this, the DMCRA, thinking they already voted for it once? I don't know any congresscriters personally, but either this is their thinking or they vote the party line if they have no clue.
The other major consideration in a major purchase like this is HDCP. High Definition Copy Protection. If your prospective set doesn't have it, don't buy it, cuz there is a good chance you might not be able to view future HD content. (thanks MPAA)
I'm sorry, but isn't this like feeding from the hand that beats you? I can understand why you say this, but I have a feeling that there will be a way around this DRM scheme when they try and implement it.
In a joint task force headed by the FBI, members of the FBI, DEA, BATF, SBI, NAACP, NCAA, PFJ, NAARP as well as other State and local officials decended on a home in the rural part of the county in the early morning hours. Taken into custody was one Kenny Smith (18) and another minor living at the residence. They are being held at an undisclosed location in connection with the hacking of several high school computer networks.
Things my father has stolen for me. Or things he knew were stolen: Golf Clubs, FUBU Jeans (No I didn't wear them), Nicer Golf Clubs, Pocket Knife, Relays for a '79 VW Rabit, 78 RPM Records and other worthless $#!7.
Er hum, Time Enough for Love, by Robert Heinlein? Not real true, but hell, who knows.
One thing that puzzles me. They say they turn the gene on and off at certain points in developement. Is there the possibility that the gene for infertility be passed on or the gene for a normal life span? I see this as a damned if you do, damned if you don't.

How and how long do hospitals archive CAT and MRI's? I had a CAT scan several years ago and I'm a bit curious.
Try telling that to a Southern Baptitst.
FYI MacAndrew, I'm in North Carolina.

Can we point one at Washington? (The State and the Capital.)

Are you sure they're not taking those 400 M into account?

True, but show me a 12 year old boy who can't trun a stick into a machine gun.
