I'm not sure how President Bush (or any President) can be blamed for 9/11. Sounds more like monday morning quaterbacking to me. Regarding the fallen soldiers, we all owe them and everyone who serves more than we can ever repay. I do know that freedom has never been an entitlement or free.
All I can say is that thank God for George Bush. Without him we'd have Kerry and be playing hail to the chief whenever Kofi Anon walked by... Luckily, Kerry and Edwards have about as much chance to win in November as Dukakis did....
I whole-heartedly agree with most of the parents points. Except: "The fact that Gore had more votes but lost is a problem of the electoral college because it favors votes of people in rural areas instead of one man one vote. That is a problem that we must fix." The electoral college doesn't need to be fixed -- the system is set up for many reasons including, but not limited to an important part of American government: States Rights. Look it up.
Parent post should be modded up. It is the fundamental truth facing spaceflight in our lifetimes. It would be great if we could rely on the profit motive to drive space exploration, but with the exception of limited sub-orbital tourism, it won't get us any farther than we are now. Bottom line: we have to develop the political will to make it a priority -- or not.
"Dicking around" is necessary to develop the systems your butt will ride on when you leave LEO. Apollo couldn't do what we do in LEO today. Apollo was a like a teenager on prom night.
Sure, an extended Apollo program would have been great -- I'd also like to win the lottery. Part of "figuring out space" is figuring out how to do it economically. We can't even do LEO economically -- and you think we can do Mars without breaking the bank?"
I don't know what "serious space analysts" you are referring to, but anyone that calls themselves that probably isn't. There isn't a space program on the planent (NASA, Russia, China, X-wanna-be, or otherwise) that can even build a reliable way of removing CO2 from a habitable module. No one has designed adequate exerise equipment or a way of dealing with the long term effects of micro-g. We don't even have reliable EMUs (spacesuits). And you want to go to the moon or Mars without figuring it out in LEO?
Excuse me, but I think you are the fanboy. Space is hard. Climb the hill in your backyard without losing you breath before you go running off to Everest.
The parent post is a perfect example of someone commenting on something they have no clue about. The complexities involved in "puttering around in earth orbit" are immense. The Space Station and the Space Shuttle are critical training grounds for anything more ambitious.
Overtime? Who gets overtime anymore? Exempt vs. non-exempt my friend... Sounds like you need a better collections strategy -- not help from the feds.
It's true the record companies may have strange profit sharing rules wrt their artists. But that has nothing to do with P2P'ers and the illegality of their activities.
It's theft. Real people work real hours creating the intellectual property that these "nerds" are swiping. Just because it's easy doens't make it right.
Yeah, murdering and raping are certainly greater crimes and deserve proportional funding. But that doesn't mean we stop putting the cuffs on simple shoplifters. And where is "all the money" that you being spent that you are referring to? Simply noting the IPs of these petty thieves and putting them in front of judge Wopner should be enough to make them pee their slashdoting panties.

Huh? What needed clearing up? Bush supporter = productive. Why bring up whores, crack, and hell?
Bush supporters have real jobs that require their attention and are therefore unlikely to be posting on /.

I beg to differ.

Such a silly argument: "I wouldn't have bought the car, so I stole it." Here's news for you: if you can 't afford it, you don't get it.
Don't like it? Get the laws changed -- there is a process for that you know. But that would require you to get up off of your thieving ass.
Here's an idea -- stop obsessing over frost piss.

er, they are lowly thieves too.
Does it really matter? Even if they only had one file, they are still lowly theives.
