    Not when giving other people authority over me, never. And you shouldn't either when giving people authority over me. I never gave you that right. The more I see you do that, the more adamant I get. The time for compromising our freedoms is over. It's time to push back the authoritarians. No more closed door, back room deals. That's my story, and I'm sticking to it.

    McCain -- So, you're ok with his sell out on the torture issue? Is that some vague, off the wall attempt at revenge against Vietnam? I used to like him myself before that came up, so now, screw him. How about his part in the Keating affair? Those are the well known issues with him.

    Giuliani -- Yeah, let's let the FBI and the military do what NYC cops were doing to unarmed homeless people. That he was mayor on 9/11 is purely coincidental, he did absolutely nothing out of the ordinary that any other person in that position would of done, and he's trying to capitalize on it. Apparently it's working. Bummer. It is drowning out the candidates who want to bring up real issues. The democrats are doing the same thing with Hillary and Obama.

    These people are NOT conservatives, and the democrats are not putting up true liberals...well, maybe as defined by FOX and all the other Hollywood "news" outlets, but that deinition should be applied to fascists and whackos, not conservatives and liberals. If true conservatives or liberals were in charge, terrorism wouldn't be the political buzzword that it is today, and would rarely ever make the front page simply because there would be little, if any American involvement in it.

    None of my posts on him were modded down...yet. Mod bombs to follow, I suppose if Obama lovers get points :-)

    Not too shabby, eh? And that's just from me, one of the loons. BUT the criticisms were valid ones, and it seems that some people recognized them as such. And those criticisms will assure that he never gets my vote. For me forgive what he did, he would have to start a massive campaign for repeal of the patriot act. Though I think what he is doing here is admirable, he needs to take stronger stand against copyright. To start, he can also start a campaign to repeal all the copyright extensions that have been granted. What will he do about the ridiculous patent situation? Will he end prohibition? If he wants my vote, he'll work on it awful hard. Will he reign in the FCC and take them back to their "roots" as a technical operation? Will he ever realize that humans have a right to migrate freely, like the animals do, and move to have all borders removed? If he wants my vote...What's he going to do to control rogue law enforcement? Well, that leads back to prohibition and its inherent racism. The racial balance of the prison populations speaks volumes on that. So what will he do about the prison-industrial complex that shows that slavery was never really abolished? If he wants my vote, he'll put the hammer down hard on that "little" business. And I still want to know how he got so much attention and money so fast. The whole thing smells.

    And maybe it'll last beyond the 100Kkm point where American cars fall into pieces...

    Bullpuckey! I had a Bronco with 230k miles with its original everything except tires and brakes, and oil(which it did use, but not burn) of course. The A/C still worked, and the only real problem it had was that the clutch was worn out and slipping. Many of the newer cars are warrantied for 100k miles before the first tune up. The only crappy "American" car I know of is the Chrysler product. And who owns them? In fact "American" cars are by name only. Kinda like the "Chicago" Cubs. How many of those guys are from Chicago?

    No, Afganistan is probably more about this. And if you'd bother to notice, production is back up to pre Taliban levels. Business is better than ever. But feel free to keep believing your little bedtime story about El queso, or whatever you call them. You'll sleep much more soundly that way. But it's a good idea to wake up and open your eyes occasionally. And have your mother wash out that potty mouth of yours. It's full of dirt. Please make sure to rinse and floss afterwords. I would never bring anyone home to meet my parents that talks like that. It's not very feminine. I hope you don't smoke, also. You probably taste like an ashtray. I don't like blind dates either, so you will need to post a picture. Love ya

    "Befehl ist Befehl" or "only following orders"

    I don't speak any German, but doesn't that literally mean "Orders are orders"? Anyway, I don't believe in turning people in for property crimes given their vengeful nature on both sides of the law, and I wouldn't want to put myself in the line of fire, having to testify, have my personal things torn up, possibly losing my own computer at home even, for "discovery", etc. And even more so, I don't want to be labeled as a snitch. I would be completely untrustworthy in the future, and rightfully so. Don't do anything that can be traced back to you. Look for another job, and maybe don't use that particular employer as a reference. They might get caught, and something could lead back to you, even if they are outright lies. Our system has turned honesty into a liability. When dealing with the authorities, always do so anonymously.

    I wish that was the case compared to my belief that most are trying to vote themselves a bigger share of the government pie. I see many crooked politicians "serve" many terms because they bring home the bacon. Self interest is what got us where we are today. I believe the the politicos reflect that rather well.

    That doesn't make them any less dangerous. Despite all the protests, they sent troops to Iraq and Afganistan. Many more people are put into harm's way by their actions. If you ignore them, they'll just keep on doing it. We actually should make some effort to stop them from causing any more damage. And another thing, in a more or less democratic country, an "idiotic" leader is not a very good reflection of the people that gave him the job.
