The time when it is _most_ important to follow the law is when the Government is telling you to break it. If the government is breaking the law, then who will stand up for the law if not the citizens?
I believe in UFOs, I've seen them. There was something in the sky, and I couldn't identify it. I'm not an idiot, I know it wasn't a space ship from another planet, but it definitely was (at least to me) a Unidentified Flying (or maybe just Falling) Object.
I know Kucinich has talked about seeing something, that he called a UFO, but I've never seen where he was quoted as saying he belived it was something that would paint him as irrational. I'm not saying that he doesn't believe it was little green men, just that the articles I read didn't make it clear. Anyone have any better info "from the horse's mouth"?
Hey, my wife has been a city council person in Sebastopol for about a month now, and I still admire her. At least her ability to listen to concerned citizens with a smile and then think rationally and do the right thing... of course, she was only appointed, and now she has to run for re-election in November, so I'll be keeping an eye on her to make sure she doesn't go too 'politician' on me.
Ah, but Money (and power) is just about being able to get what you want... I don't want money to have money, I want it so I can buy things I want. I'm a little weird, I want an educated informed population, so if I had unlimited money, that's probably what I'd work toward.
GW has been under oath from the moment he took office. He swore an oath to uphold the constitution. He's failed at that. It's well past time to impeach.
Oh, I'm not advocating locking someone up before, I'm saying that when you have a suspect for a crime, there's a trade off between letting him go if he's the guilty (murderer/rapist/thief) and he kills/rapes/steals again (causing suffering among his victims), and locking him up if he's innocent (and an innocent man/woman suffers). You can guarantee that no innocent person gets locked up, by not locking anyone up, and you can guarantee no guilty person goes free by locking everyone up. The right thing is to do your best to determine if the suspect is guilty, but err on the side of innocence (I would say that because I feel that the suffering of putting an innocent in jail is greater, in general, than the suffering which would be created in the future by a guilty person going free).
If Oprah tried to make some sort of contract to that effect, yeah, but if she just gave $20 to 10 million likely Obama supporters, and they choose to give to the campaign with the windfall, it wouldn't be...
Sure, but the other side of the coin may be there as well..."are you willing to let this murder/rapist/thief go to commit more crimes, create more victims" if you're wrong the other way...
Locking someone up who's innocent is bad. So is allowing a murderer to go free to kill again. I'd be nice if we could always do the right thing, but in the absence of that, I say we try for 'least suffering'.
McCain said that he thinks the American people don't care if we're in Iraq 100 or 1000 years, as long as the troops aren't dying. That's idiotic. Of course we care if we have to station troops there. Stationing troops in Germany, Cuba, Korea, Japan and now Iraq and another 120+ countries around the world costs the American taxpayer money and it costs us in goodwill. The average American may not think of the US as imperialist, but with approx. 700 bases world wide, it may look that way to the rest of the world.
Do you need 120VAC, or can you go with low-voltage? Going with low-voltage, driving LED lights directly from the battery will probably help with efficiency over incandescent driven by an inverter, but I'm not sure about direct-drive of LEDs vs inverter-driven CFLs. For 120VAC, you may have to hire an electrician to comply with local laws. Either way, you'll need a charge controller to properly manage the current flowing from the panel(s) into the battery and to the lights.

is that grandpa 15 years ago, or dad 35 years ago?
I know what you were going for, but if your dad looked 35 years ago like your grandpa looked 15 years ago, you've got a seriously wacky family tree going on there..
I don't see how an earlier earthquake could be a worse earthquake. The plates are constantly under stress, after enough stress builds up, the stress is released by movement and an earthquake. If the movement is sooner, when the stress is less, the movement and earthquake would be of lesser magnitude.
I suppose if an earthquake were delayed until we were better prepared (rebuilt all the houses to higher codes), that might reduce the damage of a larger quake, but I really doubt you'll get a smaller quake by delaying it...
Could you point me at the evidence that Bush himself has committed crimes for which he should be impeached? Seriously. Having links I can send my friends who think impeachment _should_ be off the table would be helpful.
BTW, if you were less abrasive, you might be more effective.

Lubricating and causing a fault to rupture sooner rather than later may be a good thing. Imagine if you could lubricate the San Andreas fault and cause a lot of little earthquakes to relieve the pressure. The threat of the 'big one' they keep talking about would go away.
At least in CA, with all the rebates/tax-incentives, you can supposedly be cash-positive on a new solar installation by financing. That is, you finance the initial cash outlay and the payment will be less than your current electric bill. But in CA, we have high electric prices and big rebates. I also haven't investigated further (the information I have came from a MBA's graduating presentation on her new business) since I'm waiting for some of the newer tech (higher efficiency cells, cheaper 'printed' cells, etc) to make its way to retail.
Your current period price is $16.99 (plus any applicable tax).
That's because I'm 'grandfathered' in at 4 movies because I've been using NetFlix since 1999. Switching to two 2-at-a-times would up our costs significantly... Given that my wife doesn't do a good job of keeping her queue full, we'll probably just manually manage the single queue, but I'll still fire off a complaint to NetFlix about this.
hmmm, logged into the console, and ssh'd in, with the screensaver locking the screen, I get 'AppleEvent timed out'. when I unlock the console and then immediately retry the osascript invocation, I get 'Connection is invalid', after a long delay. after that one (which takes ~30 secs or more), then the following one returns 'root'
Wonder why the delay before it works, since as soon as the screen locks due to idle, it stops working again...
Dude, have you looked at my posting history? I'm an outspoken Atheist. I'm also no Republican supporter, voting Democrat in the last 5 Presidential elections. I have been supporting impeachment of Bush & Cheney since we went into Iraq. And yet I still hold out hope that if clear evidence were revealed to the American People of Bush & Co.'s crimes, that they would put politics aside and support his impeachment. Maybe that's naive, but if so, then we might as well write off the country, since no one cares about the rule of law, they're just out to get what they can for themselves.

If 10 million people give $10 each, that's $100 million of democracy.
If one person gives $100 million, that's 'big money'
Perhaps they see this as a counter to the big-money support of the right (and the status quo) by the 'main stream media'?
Or to the innocent man/woman locked up for life for a case of mistaken identity...
The question is, at what ratio of imprisoned innocents vs freed guilty is suffering minimized?
