The votes on the electronic machines were changed, just as GP said. Whether by hack or by fraud, the result is the same. The poor UI enabled the fraud, and no paper trail leaves no evidence.
Those saying it could never happen were just proved wrong.
Logical? Faith has practically nothing to do with logic. You can talk about the logic of religion (there isn't any) to a True Believer until you are blue in the face, and they will likely be looking at you as if you had sprouted horns.
The problem with your statement is that WANT and even NEED are both subjective terms (until you get to the basics such as air, food, water, etc). I WANT to have a successful US space program, but I also submit that it is something the US NEEDS.
You want to talk about money sinks? How about Iraq, the Wall Street bailout, etc? If you want to cut spending then you need to go after the biggest spenders first. I'm sure NASA could be made more efficient, but trimming a $17 billion budget will not put an appreciable dent in the national debt, and would make us one step closer to becoming a third world country without a space program.
For fuck's sake... between the 'let it die already' and 'it's different it must suck' crowds, it seems like I'm the only one around who is actually looking forward to it.
That's fine, more room in the theater for my tush.:D
The original Enterprise from the TV show was a Constitution class.
The refit Enterprise from movies 1-3 was the Enterprise class, as was the 1701-A from 4-6. I believe the Constellation class would be the what the Stargazer (Picard's first ship) from STTNG.
B was an Excelsior class (ST:Generations).
C was an Ambassador class (STTNG: Yesterday's Enterprise).
I am tired of hearing how Jose Illegal had his constitutional rights violated. He has no rights under the constitution. He is not a citizen. I can guarantee you that if you are crossing the border, are a citizen of the U.S. and are not doing anything illegal, you will never have a problem.
Don't meet those two small criteria? Tough.
The Constitution applies to ALL human beings, not just U.S. citizens.
Unfortunately, I did just that... freaking prices on dual core CPUs for 939 are insane. Single core CPUs are nice and cheap, so I picked up the 4000+ for a song last year. I'll probably end up skipping dual cores completely and go straight to a quad around the beginning of the year.
They kinda tried with Jar Jar but he was too stupid and attempt to be a comic role (which R2D2 and C3PO took as well) we needed a serious character who was a normal guy who kicked ass.
That's what I wanted to see: Jar-Jar growing out of his bumbling goofiness into someone who could kick some ass. Oh well.
Algae growth can literally FILL a lake in just a few years, in fact this is part of the natural cycle for small lakes, which as they silt up and the water warms up, will fill first to algae beds, then to marsh, and finally to meadow; once started, the entire process can take as little as ten years
Rich snots find pleasant lake and build waterfront mansions around it. Being rich, they insist upon maintaining a couple of acres of putting green quality lawn around them. [This I know, since I live on such a lake, but my 'yard' is basically wild. Whatever grows there unfertilized naturally. The rich snots hate me for not having a nice green lawn.] Eventually, their fertilizer will plug up the lake, turning it into a marsh. Their property values will plummet and they'll all move out.
You might want to check your reading level, even the sub title says "EVIDENCE OF EVOLUTION" not PROOF. From what I read, it sounds like they don't even know how the observed change occurred, it doesn't say that they know for a fact it was evolution.
And therein lies the rub... Evolution has actual Evidence (and lots of it)! Something that creationism lacks.
What? No mention of selling new fancy dual core computers bundled with XP home, which doesn't support multiple cores, effectively wasting half of the expensive computer that the customer bought? XP Home will support multiple cores just fine, but not multiple CPUs (i.e. it will support a dual core CPU, but not 2 single cores CPUs).
Coleman did NOT win because his opponents were horrible. Two things happened to allow him to win the election:
1) Wellstone (who would have likely won re-election) was killed in a plane crash 1 week before the election.
2) A few days later, at Wellstone's wake, some asshat giving a speech turned it into a political rally. This little stunt really offended a lot of Democrat voters that would have voted for Mondale otherwise. It also galvanized many GOP voters to get out and vote for Coleman.
As I recall, there was a record turnout of voters, which was impressive when you consider the fact that it was not a Presidental election. Coleman won with 49.53% of the vote to Mondale's 47.34%. Hell, there was 11,381 people who voted for Wellstone!

And don't say "use common sense". It is anything but common.

There have been some studies that have found linkages (the warning doesn't claim causality, it merely implies it), and others that haven't.
I'd more likely say that it showed that aggressive people tended to be attracted to violent media.

Awesome... just as soon as Bruce Willis is done drilling the asteroid he can swing by, grab Milla Jovovich (who wouldn't want to) and save the world!

9% pays the interest on national debt
THIS is what concerns me most... if we don't get a rein on spending that number will just grow and grow...

And they were still in control for another 6 years while the deficits hit record highs. What's your point?
Bush and his rubberstamp Congress during those years are the ones who've been maxing out the credit card. Oh wait, that's Clinton's fault...
