God Bless you and well spoken, Pink Tinkletini (although I'm not quite sure about that handle, but who am I to complain??).
As one who has been a contractor at M$ in their retail tech support (I really needed the money at the time), I can bear witness (after interminable cursing and insults against my mother) that most users despise spending the first three weeks installing any M$ product after they've purchased it. They also hate it when they find that they must also purchase the documentation separately as M$ pioneered the concept of sticking it to the customer and not packaging any decent software with it. Of course, I did a good job in tech support there, while I can never figure out what those documentation specialists were actually doing......
JEEPERS!! Must I have to explain everything?? Oh, well, here goes.....(the true explanation for the popularity of the Mac, etc.)
Windows XP: As anyone familiar with the Greek language knows, X and P are the first two letters for the Greek work, Kristos, or Christ; with XP used as a frequent abbreviation. Now, is it a coincidence that the Neochristian or Pseudochristian Reich (Bush Administration) came into power the same time as Windows XP hit the market? I think not!!! And why they are referred to as a Reich? The obvious Nazi connections: Bush's grandfather, Prescott, had some of his assets seized by the FBI during World War II for helping to finance the Nazi Third Reich; Karl Rove's grandfather was the head of the regional Nazi Party in Germany during WWII; Donald Rumsfeld's relatives fought on the side of the Third Reich, and Dick Cheney does a hellacious impression of Goebbels at those crazy Neocon parties.
Mac OS X: As anyone familiar with Latin knows, OS is Latin for mouth. Many mistakenly believe the "X" is meant to be the unkown variable from mathematics. Wrong! Actually, "X" means love (as in X O X O - love and kisses). Now, as most of you know, guys practise mouth-love on their wives or girlfriends. Please note I said wives OR girlfriends --- not wives AND girlfriends. Amorality will not be tolerated. (For amorality, please refer to the previous entry under Windows XP.)
The conclusion is obvious: Mac OS = Sexy, Windows XP = Nazis.

George H.W. Bush (Senior): Born with a silver foot in his mouth.
George H. Bush (Junior): Born with a silver spoon up his nose.
It is important to note a very newsworthy item which took place recently - only the PopCultureMedia chose to ignore it and report on that delusional child pornographer, John Karr, instead.
Judge Anna Diggs Taylor found Bush guilty on several counts of the FISA laws. The penalty is to go straight to jail (from 5 to 10 years), no impeachment is necessary as the law specifically and explicitly covers anyone up to, and including the highest elective office in the land. This is why they went to an immediate appeal and are quickly attempting to change all the laws.....
Obvious prediction: if it's happening in China, it will soon happen in the USA. Especially since Treasury Secretary Paulson recently stated that China and America's future are intrinsically economically intertwined (my apologies to the neocon script kiddies for using complex phraseology).
Press A for kidney-removal conviction, Press B for eyeball-removal conviction, Press C for heart-removal conviction,......
What are they getting out of the deal by giving away our rights?
Hmmmmm.....let me see....billions and billions of dollars in extraordinary levels of war profiteering (now exceeding WWI, which had set the record - so now the Bushies have exceeded the Spanish-American War, World War I and World War II profiteering records), and humanitarian disaster profiteering, and security industry profiteering, and complete control over America.
Naomi Klein wrote an outstanding article in Harper's some time back (I forgot to notice the exact date, sorry) explaining in a most detailed fashion how the Busheviks had (illegally) created the new Iraqi constitution to mirror every neocon's wet dream in economics - unions outlawed, using imported cheap labor (already implemented that here - but not to the extent they have implemented it in Iraq) instead of the local population, disallowing government control - privatizing everything.
As you may have noticed, Iraq is a basket case -- and their objective is to do the same to the USA!!!! Hate to be the one to break this to you, but their control over everything precludes voting now -- the only hope is for every American to stock up on rifles (yup, I once was pro-gun control, but that was before the Bush Administration was selected by SCOTUS).
The issue you discuss in your last paragraph is simply so much silly drivel, obviously written by someone with little experience in war or other countries. Since there are no democracies in this discussion (of course, you probably consider the Islamic Theocracy established by the Bushies in Iraq to be a democracy, as well as the Islamic Theocracy re-established in Afghanistan). Certainly America no longer can qualify as a democracy - at best a corpocracy or plutocracy - until the day the UN has an onsite voter-fraud team to validate the American national elections.
Thus politics and war are intrinsically linked.
You've made a statement having nothing to support it buy you extremely faulty assumptions which aren't born out by recent events in the preceding six years.....
Being unnecessarily pedantic isn't being necessarily right. I would strongly advise the three of you to diligently study von Clausewitz, then go over to fight in Iraq (or any war, for that matter) to see if his BS applies. Then I won't have to listen to this silly drivel as I can easily the predict the outcome of that action.....
Wow - I am so impressed - just because someone has been published they must be write - again, you clowns prove out the old dictum that if one continues to repeat the same drivel over and over again, other clowns will believe it. No points of logic nor discernment were made, the three of you just repeated the same old tired drivel....
Thanks for your intelligent and insightful posts, unfortunately several of the others - in response to your posts - were quite lacking in those areas.
As anyone who has served in the US military (and probably most of the other countries' military forces) know, you always guard your own. That is a fundamental tenet of force protection security - except since Cheney has been in the veep position - and wishes to make big bucks while "privatizing" everything possible and emptying out the US Treasury. But then, this is the administration that tells us that Pakistan and Saudi Arabia (both with prior knowledge of 9/11/01 attacks) are our allies. Now we have Blackwater USA and other private mercenary firms actually training the Navy personnel - instead of utilizing military DI's to do that. We are so fucked....
Give me a break - you been listening to that neocon clown, George Will, who can't go two shows without completely contradicting himself - what a moron?????? War is about profit, the accumulation of territory, etc. It's got nothing to do with politics - unless you follow one of those ignoramuses like Richard Perle or Wolfowitz, neither one of which could find their buttholes with a map and a compass.....
Naaah...you haven't been paying attention...pretty soon all those US Embassies will be guarded by either Blackwater USA, KBR (Keep Busheviks Rich), Kroll Government Services, or USIS (a k a "Suicides R Us"). They don't believe in none of this here "non-lethal" junk - their much more into the "thrill kill" stuff.....
Ideally, they should test it on the $140 Million Man (Dick Cheney), a k a Bionic Boy. If those microwave devices don't disrupt all the digital pacemakers and artificial penus he uses - then it should be good to go -- next test case -- the Supreme Court.
A minute of silence to show respect - in commemoration of 9/11/01 - to FBI managers Frasca and Maltbie - who somehow managed to sit on hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of tips - some pointedly specific - to the attacks of 9/11/01 - and also the tipoff to the alleged anthrax assassin (sitting on that one for 8 months until the trail became too cold to follow).
It seems like the most talented candidates would *HAVE* jobs and therefore find it much more difficult to complete the test.
This is akin to stating that everything that can be invented has already been invented. Deborah Blum is the only Pulitzer Prize recipient that I've read in the past 20 years that actually was deserving of the prize. Generally speaking, when a private corporation requires a 3 to 4 hour test, they usually end up hiring their friends and relatives, for whatever reason.
I am not suggesting that we should have 2 standards of punishment..
Yet, since we already have two systems of punishment -- one system for the plutocrats and another for the working class (those of us still lucky enough to work), poor and politically-unconnected (Martha Stewart - although a plutocrat, falls into this second group as she served time, but the Harvard fund-raiser who was politically-connected and gave her the insider info., didn't) -- your suggestion means nothing (sorry about that chief!).
Sometimes, the justice system works in the way that I have suggested. For example, a special government-appointed prosecutor filed charges against both Scooter Libby and Bill Clinton for merely lying.
Wrong again, Sherlock -- Libby lied about an act of treason, Clinton (as much as I dislike Globalists and coming to their defense..) lied about a sex act with a legally-of-age intern - two extremely differing violations or offenses - especially as the Pissant Bush, grandson of Nazi-sympathiser and violator of the Trading with the Enemy Act (1917) (for which the FBI seized some of Prescott's assets during WWII), Prescott Bush, keeps declaring "we're fighting a war of terror." Whatever the hell that means (rhetorical question - please don't respond - it means the Pissant has set record levels of war profiteering - and expanded upon that to humanitarian disaster profiteering and security profiteering, etc., ad infinitum....)?
The actual big question is will any of us actually live to see any more justice in our lifetimes given the infiltration, perversion and subversion of the US government?????
So...if I'm understanding this correctly....Black Holes on Earth is a Good Thing??????

Exactly so -- then there's the very frequently occurring possibility of file/entry error - happens all too often. Plus, what kind of credit checks are THEY doing on all those H-1Bs, H-2Bs, H-2Cs, L-1s, J-1s, P-1s, O-1s, etc., ad infinitum, and who actually now owns those credit bureaus (because at the end of this puzzle - THAT DOES really matter...)
