The solution is all ready well known, it gets mentioned everytime in all of the various e-voting threads - a duplicate receipt system. You punch in your votes, you get a receipt, the system has a receipt - probably in a self-contained cartridge - with a window to view the current transaction. If all 3 match, you're golden. This is all old news. The interesting item is, just who voted to eliminate/not require a paper receipt on the current generation of machines. Peel some of the loony left away from the latest 'who REALLY brought down the towers' conspiracy, and put them on that.:)
I try to avoid discussions on global warming, talking religion with strangers usually just leads to problems.
For those of you who have a real grasp of what this data might mean, is there any way we can get causality out of this? Does the CO2 preceed or track the climate changes?
Greenland isn't quite green yet, so I'd guess we still have time to figure out what, if anything, is going on.
Doubt this will get through, but...
you're correct, "white middle-class guys" (WMcG's henceforth) are rarely lynched, groped, have crosses burned in their yard or have vulgar epithets spray painted on the houses. What they do have is the presumption of guilt if they should get involved in any of the current victimization fads. Because of all the hype surrounding this crap, employers have to make a point of showing that they are taking such claims seriously. With no recourse to counter claims of favoritism, discrimination, harassement, whatever, WMcG's are the easist examples to make.
And yes, in most cases, it is possible to deal with and work through any bs they may be unlucky enough to get pulled into.
But it simply isn't worth inviting the attention.
The meetings, the "counseling", evaluations, all the assorted crap that goes into dealing with an accusation that, had it been made against any one other than a WMcG, would have been immediately discarded, is just to much of a pain in the ass to deal with for anything short of something that really matters.
Contrary to being "a bunch of spolied[sic] kids who know nothing but whining", your WMcG sucks it up and gets on with it.

"According to the Associated Press, a California judge has ruled...." hehehe.... just about says it all. :)

I wonder how many of the poo slingers here will be able to differentiate between a state and federal issue?
