People don't get it yet. They know good & well that ADULTS will balk at anything like this, as they have demonstrated during the last election.
We don't want government telling us what to do, so, they enact their silly little socialist utopian ideas in the schools.
Think about it. Starting with your first day of kindergarten, they have the children place their OWN school supplies in a box...a "community"
box, that everyone can share, because some may not have those bla bla bla bla. Then, it's off to the cafeteria, where in some schools, you are
prohibited from bringing certain snack items to school, which will be taken away because they "aren't good for you". Then, in one school, instead
of parent-teachers meetings being held at the school, they want the teachers to come to your house to see how your kids act in their home
environment. The fingerprinting, is done for "safety".
Don't you sheep get it? They know that by the time these brainless kids are adults, they will be conditioned to accepting searches, eating "the right
foods" and on and on. Listen to what the commies said when they started the whole stupid idea...“Give me just one generation of youth, and I'll transform the whole world.” Vladimir Lenin
Get em while they are young, and you can have them forever
Adolph Hitler pretty much said the same thing. Give me the youth of Germany, and I can rule the world. He almost got away with that! Thankfully,
he was a complete moron.
Wake up people...before it is too late! Around 50% of the USA gets "free stuff" from the government. When more than 50% realize they can vote
to make the rest of those pay for their "free" lifestyle, this country is history.
NOT!
Sad he died, but anyone who saw him in the last few months could read the handwriting on the wall.
Prayers to the family, but I'm sure there are more than a few current & former workers that might be
glad he's gone. They say he wasn't the nicest guy to work for.
Quit calling these "motorcycles with a fiberglass shell" "vehicles".
If you really want to impress the public, built a 2000 pound AUTOMOBILE than 99% of the public wouldn't not be afraid to
operate on the highways, and get it as an EV that can travel 500 miles or more on a charge. THEN you will impress us.
Also, the price will have to be on par with a gas or gas hybrid. What good is a 150mph EV, if it costs 100,000 bucks?
LOL....I was always under the impression that McAfee/Norton WAS a virus.
You ever try fixing a computer with one of those and try to completely remove it?
First elected official that even TRIES to pass this, should be taken out and shot for treason!
What these pinheads don't understand, because, they do not understand the Constitution, is that the bill of rights
isn't rights "granted" by congress, but rights granted by god, and for which congress has NO RIGHT taking away.
THIS is what happens when you water down the teaching of history, filling it with lies, distortions and other liberal
and politically correct garbage.
If you give these blowhards the leeway to "tinker" around with the Constitution, before you know it, the 1st & 2nd
will be completely stripped away, and the others will follow.
Government, EPA...what a bunch of idiots.
Here we have an inexpensive asthma product, that helps MILLIONS of people each day, and now thanks to the government,
it will costs those people MORE for a different product. One of the scariest things ever said was...
"I'm from the federal government, and I'm here to HELP you".
Which is what happened to the American work ethic. If we were in another "world war", do you think the American public,
could put away its squabbles, get up off of its lazy butts, and do what the WW2 generation did? Nope, we are too fat, dumb
and lazy.
And the music industry can't figure out why sales are down?
Music sucks, no one wants to pay 10-20 dollars for an album that
might have 1 half way good song.
They didn't "force" it to land. The signal jammed some equipment, so the plane ABORTED, and landed.
The plane wasn't "forced" to land. The idiot article makes it sound like some "death ray" almost caused
the plane to crash.
I heard a utility company say on tv that because of declined use, they would have to start charging MORE
for electricity. LOL Must be getting ideas from the oil companies & such;)
Quoted from the movie...
How did they get funding for all of this?
You don't think a hammer costs 200 dollars and a toilet seat costs 500 dollars do you?
That, and it was a GOVERNMENT operation...they pretty much think they have an unlimited budget, which is why the USA is in such
debt. OVERSPENDING. Had this been a private venture, where stockholders (investors) were watching, it would have been built
under budget, or it would never had been built, as it would have been deemed too expensive, for the return on the investment.
Until you get the lobbyist, and the CAREER politicians out of DC, forget about every cleaning up this mess.
You'd almost have to be a FOOL to locate a business in that state.
I've had many friends & relatives LEAVE that state, because of the stupidity of their "laid back" lifestyle, and overburden tax rates.
Free health care for ILLEGAL aliens, free this, free that. Sorry there isn't anything free! Too many taking from the producers and giving
to BUMS and CRIMINALS (illegal aliens are criminals).
I could care less who comes to this country, as long as you do so LEGALLY, speak ENGLISH, live by the laws of the United States, not
whatever h*ll hole you came from.
I've been in the office machine business for almost 30 years.
When fax machines really started taking off in the 80's, our sales had a hard time getting businesses (especially law firms)
to purchase one. When asked, they would say, "but I've always had a messenger service, why would I need a fax".
When the MFP (multifunction printer), along with the internet took off, with scan to email, we tried to get the same people to
switch their fax, copier, printer, out for a MFP. When asked, they would say "but I've always had a fax machine". People resist
change, it is human nature.
If you are lucky, a fax, in G3 mode can get a good 14.4 connection, and if you are really lucky, a 33.6k connection. The problem
we are running into today is that a lot of places are trading out the traditional analog phone lines, which fax machines love, to a
VoIP system via DSL or cable. The problem comes with the conversion. You take an analog signal from the fax, digitize it, then
send that signal through the fax modem, through the VoIp conversion, digital out to the other end, and reverse the procedure. Getting
lost in the translation is an understatement. You have to take a high speed fax, choke it down to 9600bps just to get it to work.
Not to mention the headaches the phone company causes. Travel in any good size city after a rainstorm. Take a main roadway,
and look at the cable overhead. That is usually a trunk line. Watch the poles. Eventually you'll find one with what looks like a giant
gas cylinder strapped to it. They use liquid nitrogen to freeze out the water, because it's cheaper than replacing the cable. When you
are on the phone, if you hear "bacon frying", or an echo, just think what that does to a fax transmission. I have one hospital that has
well over 200 fax machines in the late 90's. Tried to get them to switch for years to scan to email. They wouldn't do it due to privacy
concerns. Speaking with their telecommunications people (the brick wall) why they won't switch, because they can't insure the privacy
of a document outside their own intranet. Any email outside the hospital firewalls, couldn't pass muster (so they say) with the H.I.P.P.A.
laws. (how lame is that excuse?). Yeah, the odds of dialing an incorrect fax number, and have that number actually be a fax number is
a lot less than someone typing in a wrong email address, and having it actually be an email address, but, you can set email to be
encrypted, pass codes etc. I chalk it up to laziness. People are comfortable with fax machines, and do not want to learn something new.
Everywhere it's been tried!
The only reason it survived as long as it did, was at the end of a gun.
Capitalism WORKS, as long as you can get the over regulation burden of the
imperial federal government off businesses back.
The only reason we have this current love affair with communism, is the socialist
professors, who were kids in the "free love" era of the 60's, are running the schools
& colleges, and have brainwashed the youth into believing that all good comes from
government, and corporations & capitalism is bad. Hopefully, when these idiot kids
get out into the REAL WORLD, they learn that to earn money, you have to work.
My 33 year old nephew was a skull full of mush liberal, until he got out of college,
started WORKING for a LIVING, and found out how bad taxes were. He did a 180 and
is now a conservative (not to be confused by republican).
How long until they banter around the idea (again) of charging for email?
I remember back in the early 90's the urban legend of the postal service charging
a nickel for 100 emails or some such thing kept floating around, but, you know the
postal service, and the imperial federal government is still trying to figure out how to
get their slice of the information superhighway. Taxes on "Amazon" type purchases,
money for email....
The iJunk proves an important point. Just as with the election of Hussein Obama, the iPhone
proves a fool & his money are soon parted.
All you have to do is watch this silly video, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FL7yD-0pqZg
and you'll know the average intelligence of an iJunk user.
FIRST thing I look for when getting a laptop, home computer keyboard is the dimple for the home keys.
I was taught to touch type in the mid 70's, and it stuck.
Can I type 100wpm? Nope, but I can type faster using a QWERTY keyboard with those little dimples
on the F & J keys. Not to mention the 10 keypad with the dimple on the 5 key;)
This won't work in most cities. Why?
In most cities, you usually have a combination of city & state roads intersecting together.
In our city, the city wants the right of way on streets, and the state wants the right of way.
Conflict. If you travel a city street, you can usually hit the lights green until you cross a state
maintained road, then it is red most of the time. Same thing driving a state maintained road.
The city here, has built in cooperation with the state, a multimillion dollar traffic management system
with a bizillion tv's smart intersections, electronic billboards that are mounted less than 2 blocks from
the intersection, to notify you of traffic problems. The results? No better. The problem is there are too
many cars! Oh, the city wants everyone to use public transportation, but it is too slow, and hampered by
a turnaround terminal instead of a simple grid system.
Some intersections are traffic sense signals, some are on timers. Then you run into the entire problem that
the city thinks the way to fix a traffic problem is to install more traffic lights.
Traffic will not get better in major cities, it's just something you have to put up with when you have X number
of people on the roads that were designed in the 50's & 60's.
The aliens are really going to blow us up now! LOL
These pinheads that are against nuke power (or just about anything other than rubbing two sticks together) just need
to STFU! That Voyager probe we launched when I was in high school, and we just recently lost contact with...what do you
think it was powered with D-cells from a flashlight (torch)?
It has a nuke powerplant, and ran for over 30 years, and is STILL providing power.
Nuke power is reliable, IF the design is correct, and PROCEDURES followed to a T.
Three Mile Island? Procedure ignored.
Chernobyl? Old style reactor not produced anywhere but there.
Japan's problem? Placing the stupid backup power generator where it could be flooded.
See a common problem? Stupidity. In the case of the Japanese problem, the designer/builder told them not to do it that way.
Unless they discover a more robust supply of dead dinosaurs/trees somewhere to extract the oil from their decay, you anti nuke types
better get use to the idea of NUCLEAR power. The wind does not always blow, and the sun doesn't always shine.
In the USA, we've had nuke power on ships & subs for over 50 years without ANY problems.
A lot of trouble that certain companies have come under since Jan 09, are a DIRECT result of the "Chicago style" enforcement
due to his royal highness Lord Obama the 1st.
Funny...the Indian government isn't concerned, but the American government wants to enforce a law on the books from another country?
Look into this a little farther and you will figure out the selective prosecution going on here.
The Gibson company CEO is a big contributor of REPUBLICAN causes, uses NON UNION labor.
One of its competitors, is a BIG LIBERAL contributor, and UNION shop.
Gee, I'm sure this is just a coincident isn't it?
Remove bloated federal government, which WASTES more money than anything, and watch space flight/travel take off...so to speak.
The "government" produces NOTHING.
