    However, Google Voice *only* does SSL, so you *can't* use that gadget. Not sure why they even offer it - though it used to work when I first added it, though https://www.google.com/ig worked then too.

    That, and the fact that the gmail gadget seems to flip flop on whether or not it can use SSL on a weekly basis.

    You'd think Google could figure these things out.

    No, they have a flexible rubber insert to hold the screw heads & the drive. So there's definitely room for variation.

    A further reason why I have very little sympathy for liberals is the extremely widespread tendency to dismiss anything written on a right-wing blog, just at the sight of the link. This would be perfectly valid and justifiable if A) right-wing blogs don't contain valid points that mainstream media don't contain, and B) the media sources the liberals already used and accepted contained all the relevant facts. Except that, as you perfectly demonstrate in this very thread, the media sources acceptable to liberals simply don't discuss inconvenient and unpleasant facts. Discussing with you would be pretty much impossible.

    Exchange liberals for conservatives and right for left. You'd still be accurate.

    Both ends are full of shit.

    Government's role should be to protect us from physical harm by the mentally deranged, and that's it. It should not be Dictating what products we buy, or else punish us. "No man has a right to harm another, and that is all the government should interfere." - Thomas Jefferson, founder of the Democratic Party

    Then you have a very narrow definition of harm. I'm betting TJ had a much broader view of it than you.

    Not that I agree with gov't health care. But then corp health care sucks too.

    Everywhere on Earth we find water, we find life.

    The argument seems to be that for your statement, everywhere on Earth's surface is true. However, for everywhere above or below Earth's surface your statement does not hold.

    No, you're wrong. On Earth, everywhere there is water, there is life. From the bottom of the Marianas Trench, to the top of the troposphere. Everywhere. Unless you don't consider bacteria life.

    By extrapolation, water means there's a pretty good chance of life on a planet. No guarantees, but more probable than a methane filled planet.

    I don't disagree with your theory, but have you actually been in an elementary or middle school classroom in years? Budget cuts mean classrooms of 35 or so kids who don't have extracurricular activities and too much energy. Oh, plus unions means no firing of teachers. This all adds up to too little energy to put into teaching beyond the given curriculum for most teachers.

    And how many teachers have the time & willingness to make this happen?

    Most don't, since they can do it now and still don't.

    Not that it's a bad idea, it's just more work for the teachers. However, it's a great idea for parents to help their kids understand the differences between facts & reported facts, how subtle phrases can clearly change things, how history isn't apolitical, how the founding fathers were mostly Christian yet wanted no religion in government, etc.
