Are you ok with a 60% increase in your gas prices? That would cost you $3.2 for a gallon of gas then. This sounds all nice and good but the process is a pipe dream. Sorry to be the one to burst your bubble but the reason that electric/eco friendly cars haven't gotten a good foothold isn't the evil oil industry its the cheap walmart mentality. Either come up with a cheaper way or figure out a way to recenter America's value system. But don't just blame it on "Big Oil"
Actually kids are allowed not to speak the guy sued to change the words to what he liked not to what the people voted on. Once again freedom of speech doesn't mean everyone has to agree with you, just that they government can't force you to agree with it.
Before you get all happy remember that once you take the money you will have obligations. If some politician wants you stop something and focus on something else, they can very easliy persuade you to do so. I don't know about you but I'm happy to have government out of open source, for open source's sake.
I must agree with you on the spending though I am disappointed with the republicans on increasing spending. The increase of the size of government has slowed (except terror/war related stuff) but that is still not acceptable many programs are unneccsarry and a waste of money. A greater concern is the disorder of the government: Why do we need social security to be off budget as with a special tax for it, while other social programs come from the general funds? For that matter look at the other taxes such as the Gore's tax for internet in Schools why not just take it from the general fund? Why is the tax system SOOOO complex, complexity invites abuse(as computer programmers know way too well)? Simplifying government I think should be the priority
and that made the 70's the most prosperous decade of the century right? It didn't hurt the rich just the middle class and those trying to leave the middle class, the rich stayed rich. But I guess we could jack rates up again so that the teens can be one of the worth finacial decades of this century.
over 1/2 of the budget is due to social programs would you consider them caused by Democrats or Republicans? Or do you believe that we need to tax the rich more because your not rich? 38% just isn't enough?
1. Invent a crisis. 2. Create a new small program to fix it. 3. increase size of program until it takes up 1/4 of the budget. 4. Threaten that evil republicans will end the program. 5. Profit!
And how would you do this would you eliminate all of Kerry's Wife's money? Don't forget if you remove all benefits from the government most of the congress can live off of the fortunes that that have saved up. Giving them piss poor Social security will do nothing. Even if they didn't have money they can go on the lecture ciruit and make millions a year yeah thats more then anybody gets on Social security.
Main reason would be convience, of not having to drive to Costco and wait in lines, also being able to have the pictures taken and printed in minutes instead of an hour-hours. To some this is to much but that is the nice thing of america if you got the money you can waste it. BTW I own 2 photo printers and mainly because the quality of the Costco prints just aren't good enough for me, the color reporduction is reliable enough (even with the custom color profiles). Although they are better then the only other local digital developement studio. I like the Canon printer but still won't use it 10 years is a short time for wedding pics. I like my 100 year stuff more (dye-sub, Epson). This stuff I can leave on my dashboard for months without discolor.
Just because many large business base themselves out of blue states doesn't mean that their customers are from that state. Remember that the rich still pay most of the taxes. We just buy enough of their junk so that they can pay those taxes.
I guess I'm just not as learned as these great individuals (or didn't read the whole report) but the summary seems to make an odd point that Bush got 72,000 too many votes in Broward Co. That means that they expected Bush to decrease his votes by over 11k, while Kerry gains over 55k. This seems like odd thing to expect when this has always been an evenly divided election with a very high voter turn out.
Can we forward this statement to your boss/customer to keep on file for the next time you screw up. Remeber they require 100% accuracy all the time 24/7.
You know I'm not perfect I create errors all the time. That is why we have test users and a nice long development cycle, we don't expect my first draft of a program to run right out the blocks. Now normally these election officials have 2 weeks to find out all the problems that happened and fix them. The scarier thing would be if the problem was never found, intentionally. We need to lay off and let the officials do their job, they don't even get paid good enough to be critizied the world over for not doing good enough
Haha yeah your not a nut job....
first of all that 1% of 300Mill how many of that 300mil are under the age of 10? Try those of voting age and your number goes down also remember only 110mil thought it was even worth the effort to vote. So you can keep dreaming up new ways that Kerry should have won or other crap pot skeems about what happened in the first gulf war, but they have about as much basis in reality as the shooter on the grassy knoll. (yes I have read about the kurds, but we were bound by other middle eastern countries to not directly do anything) Turkey is still edgy about a kurdish state.
As far as the WMD goes every intelligence agency in the world agreed that Iraq had the weapons including Russia, Germany, France, GB and US.
How many people are in custody right now for terrorism? 4million 1 million 100k 10k 1k not even that? Unless you include the jails on the battlefield there are less then 1k in jail, our war on drugs jails more drug pushers then that. Terrorists that are planning to set off dirty bombs on america soil will be imprissoned and will not get their phone call to let the next cell finish their work, it is sad that these people have driven us to that but that is how it goes. Before 9/11 terrorism made a cool plot for a movie now it is serious and we need to protect ourselves. I suppose we could play like Spain and give into the terrorists but they are still having problems over there.
This is a waste of time its like talking to a brick wall and a paranoid one at that, go build a bunker store up arms cuz Bush is out to get you hide in the hills and don't use the phone or anything cuz with the patriot act they can hear everything.
OK lets talk about this. I hate to alarm you but the "enemy combatants" were caught in another country armed/firing at our troops. Also he has let go the ones that he knows he can't prosocute, our laws are leaned towards letting a guilty man free over innocent man to jail, which is a good thing.
What are you talking about with the NRA? if you mean the assult weapons ban, the current bill is a piece of junk, it is so vauge that it would outlaw most every shotgun/rifle on the market. The only good part about it is limiting the clip size that I can agree on. And police unions will commonly support democrat causes. Actually Saddam lied about WMD and we bought it, Saddam thought his only card was the threat of WMD but he was wrong and it was his downfall.
betrail of kruds in 1990 right.... don't know what your talking about with Cheney but enjoy..
If Bush wanted a police state around the world would he be trying to reduce troop count in Europe/Asia?
Oh yes the media is in collusion with Bush, thats why they gave him rave reviews on the war with Iraq? The media is in collusion with money they will put anything that will get you to tune in. They occasionally care about politics but the penny pinchers make sure the idialogs don't turn off views. of course just look at newspaper picks for prez, doesn't seem like Bush was their favorite anyways. Your in the minority, and with your crazy views of the Ashcroft/Powell your in the tin hat minority.
Of those resignations how many are out of the office right now? Powell isn't leaving till Condi is ok'ed by the senate. That may be till next year. Take a civics lesson before just spouting out your opinion.
Also I agree that Powell should have left earlier, but that has more to do with his personal life then politics, he deserves a rest to spend with his wife. Also as far as Ashcroft goes, he needed to leave last year the poor guy is going to kill himself trying to protect our freedom. I'm sure you're conditioned to the normal slashdot FUD on him but if you really research him he is a very respectable guy. Take a look at the general disregard by the populace to what he does. Major news agencies don't care about the patriot act that much, he could have imposed marshal law after 911 and most people would have thought it was patriotic. I wish the guy well and hope we get another defender (like Edwards) not a prosecutor (like Kerry) as AG.
after winning prez in 1996 Clinton replaces sec/state Warren Christopher with Madeleine Albright, Labor sec Robert B. Reich with Alexis Herman, Defence sec William J. Perry with William Cohen, Commerce sec Mickey Kantor with William Daley, Housing and Urban Development sec Henry G. Cisneros with Andrew Cuomo, Transportation sec Federico F. Pena with Rodney Slater and Energy sec Hazel R. O'Leary with Federico F. Pena. He even changed his Chief of Staff from Leon Panetta to Erskine W. Bowles and White House Counsel was changed during 1997 also. And that all went with the "rythms of re-election.
Bush has let go less then Clinton so far, prob will be more. This is standard political shake up. The average length of stay for a cabinet position is around 3 years. Anyways Bush was elected not his cabinet.
Hundreds of years? Have you seen the fade on photos 50 years ago, 100 years ago? These are even supposed to be the cherrished chemical grail that will make photos last forever. Would you like to know what photographers do with photos/film that they want to last for years, put them in a pitch black room insde of binders in drawers, that are rarely opened. The room is controlled both for humidity and temp. I'll take buying a new HDD every 6 months to that. Then you can print new prints every 10 years and abuse them to hearts wishes, not have to place the photo over there since it is too close to the sunlight, or go rabid if a kid tears up a $.20 peice of paper.
The servers were removed because they posted names and addresses of Police officers. Indy was asked to remove them and refused.... free speach is all well and good but we don't need to be posting names and addy's of the police men that keep us safe.

So you are complaining that 25% of the federal budget is being used for the primary reason for that government?

1964 - Income tax, top rate: 77 percent.
1965 - Income tax, top rate: 70 percent.

You mean kept his ground... they claim that kerry would increase while Bush decreased.
