Independent means without heavily biased influence from incumbents and partisans. It means that people who represent interestes other that the biggest special interests out there (the Dems and Pubs).
Iowa and Arizona have figured this out. Iowa redistricting reform could serve as a model for the rest of the states. Lord knows GA needs help. Our map looks like a bad picasso.
I loved the telecommuting for the first two years. Unfortunately the cabin fever set in about the time that my assignments really started to suck. I would joke with my friends "I get paid to find misplaced semi-colons in an (xml) haystack". I did take advantage of the flexability -- go to Yoga class during the day, invite friends out to lunch etc. But it didn't matter -- I was going crazy in this quiet quiet house. What's worse is knowing there are thousands of people who would want my job and confirm I'm crazy for wanting to leave (still paid pre-2001 wages). Well crazy or not, I'm leaving at the end of the year. Actually changing careers since a IT Generalist has harder time staying up-to-date and employed these days. I'm going into healthcare, and plan on looking for opportunities to bring Open Source into healthcare as my IT hobby. Imagine that -- IT has a hobby again!!! Security ain't everything. It's more fun to be alive. Build some bridges while you are employed, and get out of there. good luck.
I installed Mozilla 1.1 a couple weeks ago on Mandrake Linux. Apostrophes and quotes no longer resolve correctly -- appear as umlaut y or something like that. I've looked around for the easy answer, not yet found one. I doubt upgrading to 1.21 would correct this. Any ideas or resources?
