    However, when someone has done quite as much as Bush and the Neocons have, supposedly in your names, mere apathetic inaction isn't enough. The American people have to either swiftly and pro-actively either make it clear that you disapprove of his actions, or be condemned to history as supporting him.I don't know about you, but in a country of 300 million people, do you think you can build that kind of effective consensus, do you think that there's that kind of high political awareness/motivation? I think it would be just academic daydreaming to say "Americans have to do this" or "Americans have to do that". Most Americans are your typical average person who is more in tune with local community events, wants to live a fulfilling life, have good friends, work hard at whatever job/career they have, and enjoy peace and security. And basically, with those set of values, the typical American has to choose, at their local electoral level, a candidate that is more or less palatable to them. And more often than not, in many parts of the US, the candidate who is more palatable to them, who has the same set of core values as them, has the same agenda as them, have proven to be from the GOP rather than from the Dems. It's less a matter of the Dems saying "oh deary me" and more a case of highly opinionated Dems failing to connect with their electorate - although that has changed with the recent election.

  2. What kind of parenting...? on Controversy Erupts Over Craigslist Prank · · Score: 1

    This whole affair, from the deceptive gathering of information right up to the manner of his responses to his victims, just says a whole lot about the kind of screwed up parents he has. Not a lot of family love in your home, was there Jason? I can only imagine this kind of behavior from someone who was emotionally, physically, or sexually abused as a child from his parents...

    do what is in your best interest. you really don't owe anything to this guy. then again, posting anything on your front door may be misconstrued by some angry perons looking for vengeance... maybe post his full address on the all the nearby street posts? :D

  4. Re:Relentlessly applying best practices on What's the Secret Sauce in Ruby on Rails? · · Score: 1

    If having to test on every browser (not to mention browser versions) is not a mark of a poorly design technology i don't know what is.

    I work in a project where testing on every browser platform is SOP. Only an idiot would say it's poorly design technology to not do that. Have you ever written web applications that actually have a front-end that is accessed by users with many different types of browsers? If you have, how can you actually say (with a straight face) that you don't test on those different browser platforms?

    Numbskull.

    It's not the dumbass project managers that get me upset (I've learned to deal with that)... it's the "enemy within", namely dumbass "developers" who like to foment opinions before they have time to get their brains in gear first...
