Set the voting for a 24 hour period. 6am Friday, to 6am Saturday. If you are "too busy" to find time in a 24hour period, then
maybe you shouldn't vote.
Personally, 6am to 7pm should be enough time, unless you live in a huge city that takes 4-5 hours to get to work!
If that case, the 24 hour period between Friday 6am to Saturday 6am should be ample enough time. NO electronic
voting either. No matter what you do, it can be hacked!
People need to take responsibility for those they elect.
Economist....ESPECIALLY PROFESSORS.
People, who have never (usually) worked OUTSIDE of schools, colleges their entire lives, teaching at business colleges and
universities. Instructing those wanting a business degree on how business works, have NEVER started, run, maintained a
business. On paper, their theories are sound. In practice, most would fall flat on their face!
Can be, I would PREFER to have a PRIVATE company, in charge of providing internet, than the federal, state, or local government.
Name one government agency that ever comes in on time, under budget and with superior service?
Not that the private companies are saints, but, when you let the government give it to you "for free" (yeah right), it will come with
a TON of restrictions. Sites that are negative to the government will be blocked/throttled.
Now, that would be ok for some, but, you must remember, the political winds shift from time to time, and the "other party" might come
to power and put the hex on sites you might not want shut down.
With freedom of speech, comes a great responsibility. Once encroached, you can never put the stopper back in the bottle.
Now, people like me who fly RC airplanes and helicopters will have to register our stuff too.
We always fly in a CONTROLLED environment, away from people, or out in a field on a farm.
Thanks to these dunderheads, with their quadcopters
Our company sells, repairs office machines.
One of our vendors is Samsung. Their hardware is pretty good, but their SOFTWARE SUCKS.
Even into their 4th generation of machines, it still has glitches, issues etc.
Oh, I can see it now...your car hits a tree, call Samsung...oh, that is fixed with a new software update, just update your software.
The brakes just locked up....no problem, reboot your car.
Cow disease, kill off all the cow, price of beef goes up.
Pig disease, kill off all the pigs, price of pork goes up.
Chicken disease, kill off all the chickens, price of chicken goes up.
Now it's bananas turn. Kill off all the bananas, and skyrocket the price of bananas.
These VOLCANIC islands, have been coming and going long before man was on this planet.
The oceans change, the climate changes, only a fool that doesn't understand how the globe &
sun work would think something as small as man can have an impact on our global climate.
This whole global warming crap is just another way to frighten the uneducated, to give up more
rights, freedoms & security to the "new world order" one world government, united nations.
Take away more money from the producers and give it to the non producers. Make everyone
miserable (except the super wealthy & dictator types).
Can't wait for the same types that believe in man made global warming (whoops, sorry, "climate change")
to weigh in on this that we'd crack open the world like an egg and the world would split apart. Same people
that believe the world was flat, man couldn't fly, going faster than the speed of sound couldn't happen, setting
off a nuclear weapon would destroy the atmosphere and on and on.
But God knows they don't react the same.
Women, generally act/think with the emotional side of the brain.
Men, generally act/think with the logical side of the brain.
Now before all the women's lib people start in, I SAID GENERALLY.
I'd be for that!
I'm sick of seeing prescription ads, that the side effects take 4 times longer to mention, that the medicine that
is suppose to cure you of whatever it is they are hawking.
Plus, every one of these ads are for PRESCRIPTION meds. You can't walk into a pharmacy and say give me
30 of these. The DOCTOR has to prescribe it. Plus, these companies are banking on the idea that a consumer,
wanting a "quick fix" will go running to their doctor, hounding them to prescribe it.
Let the hackers shut them down.
Once you let the GOVERNMENT start shutting them down, they will have their little fingers into
sites that are terrorists like, then they will go after sites that say "hateful" things about the government
or politically protected groups. Where will it end. 1st amendment, means FREE speech. Sadly you have
to take the good with the bad. Who will decide what is "bad"? I don't like all the porn sites, the crap on tv
that is overly sexually aggressive, but I just don't bother viewing or hearing it. But, if you start letting
the government, be the one who determines what is "allowed", it starts you down that path, you'll never
be able to stop.
Wasn't around when America, and the rest of "modern" civilization wasn't coming up with such things as
electricity, airplanes, automobiles, the wheels etc...
being a crybaby for the most part.
Twitter & FB, have been 2 of the WORST things, for the most part, for the entire world.
It's a prime example (for the USA) why the founding fathers were INTELLIGENT to set up
our country, as a representative republic, and NOT an outright democracy. Democracy is
nothing but touchy feely emotional rule.
Use Ferguson as a prime example. FB, twitter blew up about how a white police officer,
killed a "poor misunderstood gentle giant" who was running away from the officer.
Then, by the time the FACTS in the case came out, that he had already fought the officer,
tried to take his gun, was running TOWARD the officer...it was too late, the town was destroyed.
With "instant" media comes a huge responsibility, but, in this day and age, we have no real media.
What we have is "tmz media".
Making money....DUH!
When mobile phones came along...all they did was make phone calls. Minutes were a premium.
Texting came along. Minute prices dropped, texted was a premium (even though it did not cost the phone companies
ANYTHING to send/receive text. The texting was carried on the back porch of the already being used cellular signal)
Now data has become the cash cow. Minutes & texting are pretty much free, and data is the premium.
If something else comes along, data price will drop and whatever the new thing is, will be the premium.
More BS "man made" global warming crap.
The problem is, a majority of "youth" have been brainwashed into believing that man can alter the climate on
this planet, which makes them great pawns, in this controlling the world through the U.N. crap.
One good belch out of a volcano, will screw up the globe more than humans can.
Just a couple weeks ago, some hot shot researchers explained why they were wrong, about melting ice in
Greenland or some crap. They said years back that due to burning of fossil fuels, soot & dirt were covering
ice, causing more light to be absorbed, than reflected, heating the ice and melting it. Once researchers discovered
the ice was INCREASING not decreasing, they admitted that the satellite sensors were degrading and had not been
calibrated to make up for the decrease in sensitivity.
The science does not support the facts on man made global warming/climate change. We are more likely to enter
a new mini ice age in the next 15 years, if you use the solar cycle and lack of sunspots this year.
"technically" they were not the first "man" into space. According to the people that were recording the "first" of such things, the rules for the first man
into space, the person had to go up and come down in the spacecraft. Yuri, went up with it, but due to the Russian way of doing things, he was purposely
ejected out of the spacecraft, before hitting the ground, then, was transported back to the craft for photos, movies of him exiting the capsule.
So, Since he didn't land in the craft, he wasn't the "first person" into space. Minor technicality, but that's what happened.
Just the other day, I read an article, saying OPPS....we were wrong!
Originally, "scientist" were in a panic. Reflective sunlight was reduced coming off ice shelves in
Greenland or somewhere around there. "Scientist" were CONVINCED that burning of "fossil fuels"
caused soot & dust, to be deposited on the ice, reducing the amount of light reflected. After finding
that there isn't any ice melting, these same "scientist" have found that the error in the readings were
due to decaying sensors on the satellite, that had NOT been calibrated/checked in a long time.

Not to mention, code can be programmed pretty much anywhere, up/downloaded. Too many cheap labor imports taking jobs.
Some "science" is flawed, because the science needs to "fit" the politics of the day, or, rather the $$$$$ that comes from the politicians.

I know people who sometimes will throw mud/snow etc on their plates, so they can skip through sometimes on the automated toll lanes.

1. CBS paywall site 2. Will be too politically correct 3. Will have lame stories 4. CBS paywall site.
To the islam-o-nazi types that have come here to destroy the USA? Oh, I forgot, "that's racist".
