A lease agreement cannot regulate something that the FCC has the sole right to regulate.
This is the same thing as HOA's trying to tell homeowners that they cannot put up satellite dishes. They have no authoritity to grant themselves that authority. Look up the case law that shows that one cannot arrogate in this way.
When one uses "in fact" one does not disingenuously twist the meaning of the statement.
Ah, forget it. I am tired of getting karma-whacked for having an unpopular viewpoint.
I had a nice little conversation with a Diebold guy at the Maryland State Fair Saturday. The State of Maryland had a booth set up there allowing people to "vote", showing how "easy" it was to use the machines. I turned around and asked the guy for my paper receipt or some proof of who I voted for. He got real defensive when I suggested the that machines had been compromised. He tried to move me away from the crowd that was there, even though I wasn't being loud. I stated that unless the source code was open to inspection that the public had no way of trusting the voting process. He replied that the code would be held in escrow by a trusted authority- the State of Maryland. I laughed, and laughed some more at the thought of those who had the largest vested interest in the outcome of the vote being "trusted" to ensure the accuracy of that vote.
Diebold has a huge investment in this and sees dollar signs well into the future if their machines become the standard. Just think about how long the mechanical machines have been around. Diebold wants that kind of longevity for their product.
I am not against a company making money, far from it. However, making your money off the most important process in America cannnot be ethically supported. I left telling the Diebold guy that I enjoyed toying with him. He was left with a chagrinned look on his face, knowing that the road ahead is gonna be tough.
I was not willing to return and pay another entrance fee to bring materials back to prove this guy wrong so do me a favor- if you are planning on going to the MD State Fair, take along some materials to back up your arugment and take some potshots at the Diebold guys.
Sorry, but American rocketry, and the American space program, was built by imported Germans.
Everything in this country and about this country was built by "imported" somebody from somewhere. This is the heart and soul of America.
Despite what Europeans want to believe, we will leave the Xenophobia over there.

I find your insight interesting. Further research showed me that there were many methods of classifying personality types. Could you direct me to the one you reference?
This rant would not even be here if Rush wasn't on ClearChannel stations and the Conservatives didn't own radio.
When I see articles critical of the NYT as well as ClearChannel then I will trust the integrity of the poster. Until then, this is just a silly attack on something the "open-minded" liberals disagree with.
What makes you say that? I hate to be the first one to give you a geography lesson but the river does not roam through major metropolitan areas.
Perhaps you are not from the country or you would realize how darn much you can get away with without a) Some government idiot noticing or b) Some busybody neighbor wondering what you are doing.
Perhaps you have more local knowledge of the Susquehanna than I have but in my travels of the east coast, I don't see alot of people living on or near the river. Maybe Harrisburg but it mostly wanders through small-town Pa.

The school has no legal standing on this matter.
If you don't like the law feel free to move out.

One generally uses the term "in fact" when one is referring to actual facts.

What kind of person abuses the moderation system by modding a sig?
Feeling a little insecure are we?
Yes we did.
This was another comment from last night
Troll? Pointing out that there are spaces in the urls?
Makes me wonder how he survived 21 years...
Grrrr....
Do not make your boss look bad and expect to retain your job.

My gosh, you know I never thought of it that way. Thanks to you, an other clarifying moment....seriously - thanks.
Thanks
This sounds interesting. Do you have any examples that I could perhaps study? Particularly ones that end up in socialism.

Go ahead and leave your password here and I'll get right on it.
Integrity means maintaining your views regardless.
Sure they have. What you mean is that the FCC hasn't served YOU in some time.

Can only understand about half of what it does though. Maybe I'll buy the book.
I don't know much about their behavior but do you suppose the eco-folks spend their time looking for things like home-made generators on rivers?
