Wow, your comment reminds me of the question about big-government politicians. If they think that "the rich" don't pay enough taxes, how much taxes do they think would be appropriate? How big should the federal budget be?
If you think our 2 party system is going anywhere anytime soon, you're insane. We don't have a voting system now that would allow 3rd parties to participate more precisely because the Demopublicans want to protect their power.
To be totally honest, I did vote for President Bush on the premise that a Republican leader might not blow away my tax money as quickly as a Democrat would, but I've been dissappointed. Quite frankly, I'm pissed off as hell about this law - I hope it never even gets a vote. I only hope that common sense prevails one of these days. It keeps looking more and more like the war on drugs, making criminals out of many American citizens who are not harming anyone.
Ah yes, over here in Hawaii where I'm writing this, it is now 12 AM. Thank you, slashdot, for giving me some nasty shit to sleep on.
I tell you, this guy is right on the money. The next step in making the environment safe for these young skulls full of mush is to ban the noxious chemical dihydrogen monoxide.
Dihydrogen monoxide must be eradicated. It is circulated in our environment by greedy corporations. It can be found in the drinking water supply; it can even be found in the air that we breath. It has even been detected in the bones of pediatric cancer patients. In short, we must ban this noxious chemical and I look to this fine gentleman with the guts to protect his students from wi-fi radiation to take the lead on this important issue.
The old arcade "Star Wars" game - not the new 3d accellerated one. I mean the one with just 8 or so colors on a black background. That kicked ass and it still does! Get the rom and play it on MAME; I recommend playing with a mouse.
Yeah, I lived in Texas (Lubbock) for a number of years and I used to catch hell for it from certain kinds of people. After a while, you just ignore it and let the person say what they want because although you know what they're saying is gibberish, you know that there is no reasoning with someone who speaks like that.
I just read the article that you linked to and it's about someone else who wants to prosecute porn. Either you mistakenly thought it was about Alberto Gonzales, or you linked to the wrong article. Please check again.
I would just like to add that many people who choose large vehicles are not choosing them because they equate it with manliness or some-such, but smaller vehicles can be more dangerous to be inside in the event of a car crash.
"Never Attribute to malice what is adequately explained by stupidity..."
Response to parent's.sig: Don't make this into a false dichotomy - sometimes the only sensible answer is that the explanation is a combination of malice AND stupidigy.
OK, I'm not reading the article, or even the comments attached. This is, pure and simple, an attempt to tax and spend more of our money. That's what taxes are always about, regardless of what their proponents tell us they are for.
Yeah, I heard a story once from the manager of a store where someone actually managed to walk out the back door carrying a cash register. I'm sure it wasn't funny for him when it happened, though;-)
I'm a spammer and I really don't appreciate this kind of vigilantism. Therefore, I'm going to have my army of spambots crapflood your website with GNAA/Trollkore posts. Have a nice day.
BTW - When are we going to start standing up against "lengthy wars" that have no real returns? Does no one remember that hundreds of billions of dollars have been wasted on this unending war?
We always stand up to unending war, because just like Adolf Hitler, Osama Bin Laden et al pose absolutely no threat to our safety. As a matter of fact, he's just a humanitarian seeking justice for his Wahabist frea^h^h^h^hpeople. Do you honestly expect to know when the war is going to end? Do you think people were told when the Vietnam War was going to end? WW2? The American Civil War?
Sure, you can call into question the motives of the politicians who got us into the war, but I think it's a bit ludicrous for you to say that it isn't fair that we don't know when it will end.
I know that/.ers will line up to complain about this, but I think that the article is poorly written. They tell us about new powers that the police will have under a proposal, but it doesn't say under what circumstances those powers may be used.

Bah, I don't need no freaking circles. I like my Kanji just fine! Hrumph!!!

Damn straight. Anyone here remember "Clipper"?

That's irrelevant. Princess Leia was not yet a Jedi when they 'stunned' her. Luke explains to her in Episode VI that she has the power.

Welcome to slashdot, my friend. As you will soon see, there are thousands more posts like this one.
I would just like to add that many people who choose large vehicles are not choosing them because they equate it with manliness or some-such, but smaller vehicles can be more dangerous to be inside in the event of a car crash.
While we're on the subject of drugs, I was just wondering if anyone else here likes to drink kava

No no no, the appropriate troll now is, "Perhaps this will increase awareness of alternatives such as LINUX and MAC." ;-)
