  1. Re:Complexity Begets Abuse on Mayday PAC's Benjamin Singer Explains How You can Help Reform American Politics (Video) · · Score: 1

    The problem with people having to show where they donated money is that those people can the be intimidated and punished for their voice.

    Asking for that is almost the same as demanding public records on who voted for who.

    This would give even more power to the media unless they are not allowed to report on canidates either.

    Also, it would make it even harder to get rid of an incumbent since they already have name recogonition.

    Can he just opt out of paying healthcare all together?

    In any case, once we go down that path of dissallowing do to "fault", healthcare will become useless to all by the wealthy who can afford to live a more healthy lifesytle.

  6. Re:This could work well for them on Is BlackBerry Launching an Android Phone? · · Score: 1

    The problem is that most general users that long for a keyboard phone are the type that also want a phone that "is just a phone."

    I'm not saying you are like that, but I bet half those who come up to you are missing the old days where phones were simple.

    I'd be willing to bet half of the remaining half simply feel that way out of nostigla but would never actually buy or want a phone like that.

    The morgage company I went through in San Antonio used docusign for all but the final closing papers. And those I had to go in person and sign with my realator and morgage agent.

    The ability for us to leave our planet holds great benifits for humanity.

    Nice little shield you have built yourself for liberals/democrats.

    Automatically classifing dislikable traits as part of the party opposite of yourself might feel natural, but it's intellectually dishonest.

    Yeah - We can't even get them to follow through on two year plans. The idea of following through on an 80+ year plan is laughable.

    After you play it through (assuming you are playing on a PC), check out nexusmods. I went out and bought the PC version just for the mods. They add an incredible amount of story an detail to an already rich universe.
