  1. Re:just tell me on Palin Email Hacker Found · · Score: 1

    That's not fair. American conservatism has a proud tradition of carefully defining itself and its deeply held ideological beliefs by whatever will piss off the other side. If the left would stop being enamored of free speech and freedom then the conservatives could snatch these concepts to back up their rhetoric about them and score some extra RP votes.

    That is because that is all the other side knows is anger. Yes, we do piss them off but only because that is all that is left over there. They are mad and they strike out at anything. One does not have to go out of the way to raise that anger, it is just there. In fact it is hard to get away from!

    Oh BTW, it isn't fair because life isn't fair. Didn't you learn that early in your adulthood?

    Judge Wake is a good guy, he knows when a law is bad, when a law is good and when it is just marginal. He and Rep. Russell Pearce have worked together to enact some of the best laws we have here in Arizona.

    Worse, they are bankers and being so they live and work by banking rules. An example is if he wanted vacation time on a specific date he had to get it in writing or the powers that be could and would change their mind and take it away. Under the old eBay my brother would just ask his boss if he could take a certain time and if he said yes that was it, my brother was very unhappy with the PayPal way of doing things and I don't blame him they screwed him over many times.

  17. Re:Just do what Global Warming Advocates Do on Getting The Public To Listen To Good Science · · Score: 1

    Global warming is a consensus and at one time the Scientific consensus was that germs existed but didn't cause disease. We know way to little about greenhouse gases, the efficients of the sun, both radiation and magnetic, volcanoes etc to understand why the Earth is heating up. I'm not jumping on any bandwagon until I know it's going in the right direction. I really don't want to walk back and start over, that is if we haven't screwed to whole planet up so much that starting over won't be possible.

    What McAfee needs to do is tell someone who really cares. McAfee was one of the original anti virus companies who's software was free to the home user and cost only a modestest fee for the corporate user. Also, there product was of a higher quality than most of the others on the market, was updated frequently and non intrusive but all that changed after incorporation in 1992 when they started to follow the Microsoft style of marketing.
