Yup... I use adblock it's great for those nasty flash ads. I don't have a problem with the google ads which are non-intrusive.
I love the link to adblock.mozdev.org in that article. Surfer: "oh gee what's this?... cool an ad blocking extension for firefox!"
And this is the problem I have with people outside this country that say things like "American has lost all appeal to me as a nation". You're right the two party system is flawed here in the US. Now if you're naive enough to think that America is now a bad nation because we're choosing the "lesser of two evils" from a two party system I respect that opinion. I'm not so sure I'd make the same statement of the Netherlands if I didn't like your choice in a leader. I would hope you can see that politics is not a cut and dry process. However change won't come over night in this political system. I am not happy with the way the war in IRAQ went but I'm hoping George Bush has learned his lesson here and will in the future rely on diplomacy. I can't stand the right wing views on religion and I didn't vote for him because of this. I do however agree with their fiscal policies greatly and don't believe that the government should provide things like healthcare for all Americans as Democrats do.
It's also a bit concerning that you rely on CNN for your news. I work at Turner / CNN and can see the skew in their reporting as well as the rest of the liberal media in this country. I paid attention to the libertarian party but if you were here in the US and heard the rhetoric they speak I'm not so sure you'd vote for them as you say. Their ideas sound great on paper but there is still not a great candidate in my opinion.
I don't really regard a comment like this as much nor respect the person that posted it. Absolutisms and generalizations like "I've generally lost quite a bit of respect for American 'Intelligence'" I've learned are a bad thing. You realize you're saying this about 59 MILLION people. Quite amazing you're so much smarter than the rest of us which live in this country and voted for him. I guess all those 59 million Americans all work at McDonald's and crush beer cans on their heads.
I'm a well educated American that voted for Bush. If I thought Kerry was a better candidate he would have gotten my vote. Funny how standing up in front of America and claiming you can fix the country when you have no record in the Senate for the past 20 years makes you an unattractive candidate. If only perhaps the rest of us were as smart as you perceive yourself to be.

I love it .... "no matter that I called him stupid".
Great argument with NO substance.
