    are other as well, Bart PE disc, etc etc.

    If you bypass the OS and it is still slow its hardware related.

    If you bypass and it is fast, then it is OS related.

    A lot of the ppl in the military believe in the 2nd Amendment.

    Some will just do what they are told.

    The bloodiest war for the US was the civil war thou, and we
    may be looking down the barrel of the 2nd one based on what
    those militia types are saying.

    I see you think the US government will nuke a city to wipe
    out a 3% threat, then I dare say they might face more than
    3% after that from the ppl in the non target area.

    Also keep in mind 3% is about 9 times the size of the US military.

    Also some of that 3% are in the US military, ie. lots of Southerners.

    If this happens you can bet it will have a surprise start.

    When it does I am bugging out away from the city, and do not
    want to be around when they clear the corrupt crooks out.

    I have done my time for the US military, and this old grey haired
    Indian is headed for the distant hills.

    I want no part of anyone's war for any reason, and just want to
    let the liberals know their infringement on the rights of others
    may have a higher price on it than they might want to pay.

    Like I said, this is more warning than most ppl will get.

    I do not really know how long we have been here, probably
    close to a few thousand years, but it doesn't matter now.

    There is only little more than 20,000 Pottawatomi left.

    The Indians that have money are doing quite well with the
    casinos, but most of us are poor and the ones with any fight
    left in them were killed a long time ago as far as I can see.

    I am here in Oklahoma, the state that was the Indian Territories.

    My handle is due to my service in the US Navy working on
    guided missile radar during the 80's.

    I would not expect an Indian uprising, I'd be worried about
    why all the ammo is vanishing off the shelves faster than
    they can restock it here and other southern states as well.

    The vote before the supreme court to ban guns for citizens
    was narrowly avoided, and the cause of the video I linked.

    So they are trying a new approach and going after the ammo
    and micro stamping the firing pins for all guns, and
    banning any guns without that feature, ie. all current guns.

    If you read "all" of what I wrote you will see that I am

    Yes, I will be well armed, but I know that no man is an island

    In courts of law there is guilt by association, and it is
    clear through some of the tactics of the RIAA they have
    broke the law.

    Some ppl were innocent and brought to financial ruin,
    and others were bullied and terrorized into accepting
    plea agreements even thou they were innocent simply
    because they could not afford a lengthy and expensive
    blizzard of paperwork that would ruin them even if they
    were found innocent.

    Those who participated and assisted in their circumvention
    of the law can be held guilty as accessories to the crime,
    if the court can find the evidence.

    Well I think the root argument is pollution is bad.

    We have to admit there are some pretty nasty things in
    the exhaust of vehicles.

    I don't think anyone in a smoggy city would say "We need more smog !"

    I don't think anyone that has a child with birth defects caused
    by pollution would say " we need more heavy metals in the water !"

    CO2 is not pollution, we exhale it like all animals, but the high
    C02 absorbtion levels of the oceans have started to make the ocean
    more acidic and kill of huge tracts of coral reefs and they are
    the homes for a large portion of the fish in the world.

    http://www.physorg.com/news148116950.html

    1/5th of the world's coral is dead.

    A warmer sun is partially to account for a warmer earth and mars,
    but the oceans as the largest absorber of CO2 are starting to
    change their Ph levels.

    This is something that all scientists agree on in the face of
    the overwhelming evidence.

    It will have pretty wide consequences for nations that get a lot
    of their diet from ocean fish.
