I can understand it's an Anonymous Coward post (which I hope the soldier posts under a Logon name someday), but this is a concise post with some real perspective that few are going to have, or want to have.
From my perspective, I'm against the war. Although as other posters have said, "It's a reality." American armed forces are the first to want peace, rebuild and leave. I don't see American soldiers destroying crowded marketplaces, and using brainwashed people as human bombs. When the US military have problems like Abu Ghraib and Haditha, we've ended up nailing and prosecuting our own who do wrong.
As for pulling out of Iraq right now? Even if we wouldn't have problems with Al Qaeda following us, a rushed and hasty evacuation would endanger more soldiers lives. Anyone remember the end of Vietnam? Not to mention the huge flurry of refugees which we still don't have a structure for dealing with properly.
So I'm for any device which allows us to kill the extremist bastards causing the problems and keep civilians safe.
It is also why a study like this is a bunch of crap. Everything is on a constantly changing continuum.
I've know people who have been staunch Democrats their entire lives only to turn Republican. Did their brains change? Did the party's ideals change? Probably a little of both.
Also, how many people do you know who are apolitical? Who say "Oh, I don't like either candidate so I just won't vote." These are the people who need a new alternative.
Democratic. Republican. Either way the American people lose. The pendulum swings. We vote on the issues no one can win. Right wing Neo-Cons want to legislate morality, keep everything status quo, and allow large corporations to keep reaping obscene profits at the expense of American health and environment. Left Wing Socialists want to wrap everyone in a protected government envelope where everyone celebrates politically correct diversity regardless of the reality for the American people.
Moderates sit in the middle with varying degrees of common sense. We all know this is where the American people sit. This is why Candidates play to this group every election. Except candidates haven't as much this past election. Why? Because moderate voters AREN'T VOTING! Each party's candidates now play to their base during primaries then play to the undecided moderates. I know. Duh. When your friend, family member or co worker wants to 'not vote', remind them there is another way. A third party. Not the Libertarian party. Not the Green Party. OK I know you might be thinking - [GO AHEAD HUMAN. THROW YOUR VOTE AWAY!] It doesn't have to be a vote for Kang or Kodos. We need an actual, viable third party that represents all the people who feel there is no alternative. If enough people felt this way and formed a third party there would be enough people for it's own primary. YMMV, but Unity '08 might be that possible option right now. YMMV, since they are '08' and don't appear to be in it for the long haul after presidential election. (Hmmm. ..Interesting Ask Slashdot question?)

The people who complain about scientific results changing are the ones who notice some results change back and forth from one answer to another, then back to the original answer.
This seems to specifically happen in medicine.
It is still a strength of the scientific process. Yes, but you could see how people might be upset.
No. I don't think he's an ad man. Where's his snappy lead-in to a website?
Seriously, I liked Ron Paul until I noticed he is a flaming Libertarian.
His issues page tracks well, but it's the let's get rid of Big Government. Do we remember everyone else that said that?
Let's lower taxes. 'Cause Big Government is already spending too much of it and putting us into horrible debt. We're in the middle of a WAR! Despite all this, yes our spending is out of control, but all this money is going to wrong areas as a result of cronyism and pork barrel spending. Accountability and reallocation of money from pork and special interests to meaningful support of, oh let's say our infrastructure! Maintaining things costs money. We've been doing things on the cheap for at least two decades: Roads, bridges, telcom, sewage treatment, energy production, environmental cleanup and enforcement.
As the presidential campaigns move forward, don't forget power to make law lies with Congress. All this posturing about what anyone will change just speaks to what he will or won't veto, and what will be proposed and supported. A strict constitutionalist would know and state this as most constituents don't appear to get it.
This comment will probably never be seen by human eyes, but feel to comment to me at.

Way back in the day, Hackers were and still are the folks creating the scripts. "script kiddies" were little wanker wannabes that logged into an IRC chat or usenet session and eavesdropped, glommed, or begged scripts out of real programmers. They then ran these scripts thinking they were so 133t! This may have changed, but if you're actually writing or modifying code call yourself anything other than a script kiddie.
Most of these so called script kiddies I've met couldn't code themselves out of a paper bag. But they were so awesome when they stole someone else's script, broke into the local phone system, got caught and went to juvie.
It's not breaking into things, it's figuring how things work.
Mod me redundant, because this should be repeated 10 times down the list by the time I post.
By eliminating that as a factor, you empower yourselves to never cross the line of people's sensibilities - giving you limitless ability to forever hold onto that power.
So people find other ways to protest than directly marching in the street, but at least if they do they aren't going TO DIE to get their message out. Boo Hoo! I didn't become a selfless martyr for my cause. I get to live and keep protesting.
These days any time a protest is interrupted, peoples' sensibilities get ruffled. From shootings to tear gas and rubber bullets to bean bags shots, goo guns and puke sabers. I think people will still get pissed.
Dunno man. That a definite hard luck case. Can't say anything about the bone fusion surgery, but mebbe a little help on weight loss while incapacitated. My advice comes from a 300 lb. friend who was looking to lose weight. He had a salesman job where he was at a desk or in a car the majority of his waking hours. He told me this:
Liquid Diet.
Ask your doctor about doing this for awhile during the recovery and afterwards find a local gym with a swimming pool to build back muscle mass and bone density. I know it's never that simple, but hopefully it'll be an option for you.
Take Farscape seriously again? Sure. Why not? We took SG-1 seriously when Claudia Black and Ben Browder had a chance to expand their range from their Farscape roles. But did we ever really take it too seriously. Farscape was the fun side of SF. It still could be. The only catch is: Will the webisodes be straight canon and storyline or more spinoff snippets. Learn from Star Trek. Spin offs- Just don't do it!
BSG is good, but on the serious-o-meter let's take a look:
Doctor Who-- 'Bout damn time! Hell for all the time it takes to get here, the Brits are probably on another generation. Reasonably serious, for all it's fun. Kinda the template. SG-1 Atlantis?-- Gettin' good, but it's like they are holding back. This franchise might be limping along. Still miffed they didn't actually close SG-1. Semi-serious. We know they can have fun. Eureka?-- Still waking out of its seasonal coma. The sad part of this show is when it tries to take itself too seriously. Painkiller Jane?-- Pthhhbbbtt!
Farscape could also come back with a dramatic venegence. Battlestar has set the bar high again for that.
Let see what we are Waitin' on: Heroes, BSG-- Oh yeah! Bionic Woman?-- Eick did well with his part in BSG. But we'll see. meh. Will Torchwood do anything?-- meh. Spinoffs like this make my feet itch. B5 Lost episodes?-- meh meh. J.M.S. is a master of storytelling, but we've spun off so much from B5 I'm getting whiplash in a tornado. Flash Gordon!?-- C'mon. Have people completely forgotten the early 80's? This has the equivalent draw of a fire in the town square.
We have one original thing in Heroes out there. Everything else is remakes and spinoffs. Then again, is there anything new? If so, I like to know.
Y'know. Noone will probably see this commment. Ever. But I also liked the Dark Crystal. I think it was one of Jim Henson's last Hurrahs of really unique puppetry before that short TV series stint (No, this is after the Muppet Show). It's a shame. Imagine what Jim Henson could do with current technology. He already knew how to tell a good story.

Well Mr. zippthorne. It seems you have been living..two lives. In one life, you're Thomas A. Zippthorne, comment writer for a respectable website called Slashdot....you have a social security number, you pay your taxes, and you...help your landlady carry out her garbage. The other life is lived in computers, where you go by the hacker alias 'zippthorne', and are guilty of virtually every pot-smoking hippy crime we have a law for. One of these lives has a future....the other one is just so baked...
And you thought soulless programs were designed with no sense of humor.
As for the Matrix movies, made while high? You bet! Enjoy copper tops!
You keep talking about have intelligence reports and having information. You wanna pass those golden nuggets to us? Because so far I haven't seen anything that makes me feel any more confident about the decisions Bush has made. The only competent people in the Iraqi theater are the men and women actually fighting the war. With Howdy-Doody at the helm it's a wonder the situation isn't even worse! He and Cheney have "removed" almost anyone who is NOT a yes man. Those generals and advisors left that aren't Yes Men must have lost their tongues from having to bite them so often.
Honestly, I've talked with family members, buddies, co-workers, and acquaitences who have served in Iraq. The opinion is mixed, but when you tell those guys they have to leave their families or can't go home because they have to go ON A THIRD TOUR WITHOUT EVEN A MONTH LEAVE. YOU TELL ME WHAT THE HELL THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO THINK?!! I hear the same stories my from uncles who went to Vietnam being replayed in Iraq. Sure. This man's Army. Navy Adventure. Up into the Wild Blue Yonder. Love the Core. Semper Fi. Honor . Courage and Duty. These things mean something to the soldiers that follow it. It's sad because they don't mean anything to the people above them running it.
If you truly are in the military. I have some respect for you. But have no illusion I have no respect for our Commander-in-Chief when his transgressions are there for everyone to see.
The idea of Captain America is dead. Not by a Sniper's bullet, but stabbed in the back by every corrupt politician and every citizen who doesn't vote.
I had a dream. A dream to launch the greatest and largest salami ever known to man! I launched that salami a while ago. Never did get to know where it landed.

But Jesus was pretty articulate for coming back from the dead after being nailed to a cross.

a ghost - Doh! OK for us Trinity believers he's part of the Holy Ghost, but Thomas found out he was corporeal post crucifiction.
a wight or barrow wight - Post crucifiction he didn't even hang around his tomb. Had someone else tell the myrrh bearing women he was alive.
