Isn't it frightening to see an aspiring political leader buy into peasants propaganda? She wants to get into a leadership position and talks herd. That is frigthening.
Sad to say, historically it wins elections. And if you can't win them that way, just fiddle with the results and the Supreme Court - like they did in Florida '00, Ohio '04, and shortly, the '08 election.
The irony is that the leaders who are elected in this way, are invariably the ones who attack and destroy democracies elsewhere in the world. And yes, we're as concerned as you are. The Republican ticket in '08 is very bad news for America and the world.:(
Feminists all over the spectrum from Gloria Steinem to Jessica Valenti decry the insulting tokenism of Palin's appointment. In many ways, there could not be a more abhorrent candidate from the point of view of women's rights.
The Strategic Air Command (SAC) in Omaha quietly decided to set the "locks" to all zeros in order to circumvent this safeguard. During the early to mid-1970s, during my stint as a Minuteman launch officer, they still had not been changed. Our launch checklist in fact instructed us, the firing crew, to double-check the locking panel in our underground launch bunker to ensure that no digits other than zero had been inadvertently dialed into the panel. SAC remained far less concerned about unauthorized launches than about the potential of these safeguards to interfere with the implementation of wartime launch orders. And so the "secret unlock code" during the height of the nuclear crises of the Cold War remained constant at OOOOOOOO.
But Palin is a public menace even before she gets her hands on nuclear weapons.
Imagine, something scarier than Dick Cheney. Just as ugly though.
Someone who at one end believes in Creation (therefore rejecting the very science that gives us - unfortunately - nuclear weapons, and the ability to refine petroleum products as well, not to mention explaining their very existence in a way the Bible (oddly!) omits) - and at the other end believes in an imminent Apocalypse (more irrationality). You would put the fate of Civilisation past present and future in their hands?
People are born with compassion and empathy circuits in our brain for a reason, and those that don't have them or can't use them are seriously handicapped.
It's "you can get rich (under the table) by choosing Microsoft."
Seriously - you think they don't have uses for that cash stockpile? Ask around. Soft bribes are all over this. Let's face it, why would you specify MS if nobody paid you a lot to go against common sense!

Since accountability evasion has proven notoriously hard to fix, and shows every sign of being an ongoing problem.
on my proxy servers, I don't keep logs. :P
You gotta be kidding. She's hideous. In both mind and visage.

...the brownshirts abuse "terrorism" laws against this individual.
The real criminal here is Palin. How can Bush cronies repeatedly get away with violating public records and accountability measures? It's disgusting.
But plenty of people still use them.
...It's a NON-RENEWABLE energy source. Just like OIL, folks. Don't they teach this stuff in school?

Most companies admit they run Windows.
it's pretty easy to get distracted and find out you spent most of the day goofing off
Uh wait, I'm posting here too...
From the folks who brought you 2000 and 2004, the third in a series of tilted elections is nearly ready.
It did.
To prove it's just as powerful as real data!
if the real Skynet had said it.
Might as well vote to bring back the horse drawn carriage since the price of gas has risen so much lately.
Rest assured, the horse and cart is surely coming back (unlike cheap oil). There's a good forward looking investment idea (so was stockpiling oil).
/. has HUMAN EDITORS??
Dutifully reporting the lies of a dishonest government and campaigning politicians?
We're selective.
Welcome our news site crawling, automatic trading robotic overlords!
I'll try and buy another copy and get back to you.
Here's another review which mentions the "window of contact".
