    While I agree, a man also has a moral duty to provide for his family. Conflicting, it is.

    There you go bringing up the Constitution. Nobody pays any attention to that old thing anymore.

    Some people still think there are two parties in Washington instead of two faces of the same party, the Money Party.

    It's the interpretation that gets you. They simply redefine the words of the Constitution so that it means what they'd like it to say.

    His fix was to quit throwing money at everything. That's todays answer for everything, more money. If that doesn't work then more money. After that? More money. After all it's not like it's real money, we will just print more. Look at modern "education." They spend more money in my state per pupil than any time in history and get less for it. It's seems inversely proportional, the more they spend the worse the result. We get bombers that cost a couple of billion per plane and fighter that cost 100's of millions of dollars and they are so complex that they are maintenance nightmares but we use them to blow up goat pens in Afghanistan. It's insane. I believe in a strong defense but there needs to be some thought to how they spend all that money instead of just throwing money to their campaign donors by the handful. Enough already.

    Isn't the size of the antenna for 4G the reason for the bigger phones? If you want a small one I know there are some 3g ones that are pretty tiny.

    Actually I find 5 inches to be about perfect. It'll fit my pocket okay and I can actually hold it. The nice thing is I can actually see the screen without a magnifying glass. Anything under 4 inches is to me unusable. Of course some people like tiny phones and it's nice for them as most of the phones out there are small. Don't bitch about those of us with larger hands having something we can hold.

    Is wireless charging that big a deal? I can't see why I'd want it but maybe there's some benefit I can't see.

    That's how boost mobile worked for me after they "upgraded" the tower in my area. No more phone calls from my house. I went and got service with AT&T and boost called me up and asked why I quit using them. They didn't even seem to understand that I could no longer make calls from my house. Where do they get their customer service people?

    Truly the one thing you have to factor in is humans. They are greedy and dishonest by nature. Some rise above this human nature but they are the exception, not the rule.

    I just follow the money dude. The banks gave Romney a pile of money but it was a much smaller pile than they gave the President. You really think those guys don't get anything for all those bucks they pile up? Small banks are suffering and getting swallowed by the big banks who are flooding the coffers of both parties. Maybe you think they aren't getting their money's worth but I'm pretty sure they know what they're doing.

    As long as the dribbling idiot Joe Biden is VP then he's as safe as can be. Even the KKK would rather have Obama as President.

    You can always call up Romney and ask him which Island Bank he's keeping his money in. That way it'll be safe from prying eyes, including the worlds largest and most vicious collection agency the IRS.

    He's the one that started all this Gestapo stuff. President Obama is just Bush 2.0 except for some of the liberal stuff like a gay army and unisex marriages they look pretty much the same. Just enough to divide and conquer the American people on knee jerk social issues that keep them from focusing on how their freedoms are being stripped just a little at a time. All in the name of keeping us all safe.

    Or he could have voted for Romney. Anyone who thought he'd be an improvement is naive. It was heads they win tails we're screwed. That's the beautiful two party system for you. Two fucked choices both backed by banks and hollywierd.
