Re: Randomness
I am suspecting that the first one is more of a budgeting balancing measure than anything else. You know that government budgets are not balanced with real money like normal people do, they are balanced with estimated numbers based on how much the government can get away with telling people that the...

Re: An opinion about a video
Actually, you cajuns bribed your way into mainstream america with your cooking. There was no need for violence.

Re: An opinion about a video
think i get it. You have a cultural confrontation disguised as a political conflict. To an American, this is mournfully familiar. That part about 48% of the children born being the offspring of immigrants struck a chord in me. And then when the guy said that his nationality was French, but he was st...

Re: Holy Crap!
http://thecaucus.blogs.nytimes.com/2008/10/07/check-point-the-second-presidential-debate/ Here's the NYTime's excellent fact-check article on last night's debate. I don't know if they make you register to see it, but there's no cost if they do. Another great source is http://factcheck.org/ Another ...

It has been a while back...
... and I don't recall all the details. But I do remember that as a comment added to a thread someone on this board stated that they ocnsidered it unlikely in the extreme that the US government would ever become a dictatorship. That is not even remotely their exact words BTW. Merely my best memory o...

Re: Holy Crap!
They both still require internet access. I don't depend on news organizations for fact checks anyway. I go back to the actual gov't voting records, or news archive records. etc.
Not a trusting soul when it comes to organized authority, i will admit.

Re: The Whine thread.
Yes, Thank your KTR. You know, if I discount one shouting match my husband got into with secretary then I can honestly say, people have treated us nicely through this whole thing. On beyond nice. But the SYSTEM is crazy. The secretary said, "You never know, exemplary students sometimes go nuts...

Re: Randomness
Have you told the ones you love how much they mean to you today? Give them a hug or a kiss or a phone call or an email and let them know. One of the women I work with lost her 21 year old son today...her only child...due to an overdose. He was out with friends last night and crashed at their apartm...

Re: Holy Crap!
I guess i just get tired of being lied to incessantly, condescended to, and shrieked at on a daily basis. BTW, my parents for instance DO put in the time and effort. BUT the only outlets that they HAVE are tv, radio and the local newpaper. FYI, the local newspaper is owned by a local family who also...

Re: Holy Crap!
I know that the information is out there. I am talking about the mainstream media (tv-radio-newspapers). Granted, anyone who has both the time and inclination can find this information on the web. But what about my parents, who are computer illiterate? What about Joe and jane Sixpack, who are workin...

Re: Some people are such divas
I dunno. I would never agree to let someone else mess with my work. Either I would go with a true collaboration, like with Distracted where we own Lerteiran 50-50, or I would keep it to myself. Maybe that sounds odd from a fan fic writer, but there it is. Anyone that wants to use my characters or co...

Re: Holy Crap!
I am disgusted that the press is not digging into the actual voting record of either candidate. They are responding to the sound bites and snippy comments. But when it comes to the actual depth of either man, when it comes to who they really are, the press has fallen down on their job. Both of these...

Re: Holy Crap!
I enjoyed watching the debate for entertainment value. But it bugged me that both sides have been playing fast and loose with the truth. Both campaigns have been guilty of flat out lies, as well as distortions and taking things out of context. And the press is worse than useless at calling either on...

Re: Some people are such divas
Some people have all the ego and intensity required to develop their own writing universe. What they lack is the imagination and the discipline.
