I don't have to respect the opinions of dangerous idiots.

And as you see from the response to this posting, libertarians are not immune from idiocy.

No one is advocating that they can inject "ANY" chemical they "desire", you half-wit. If you distrust this government so much, just leave. No one is forcing you to stay.

How is this bullshit rated insightful?

No, I'm certain the word I was looking for is evangelical. In the past presidential candidates did not wear their religion so proudly on their sleeve. To say that evangelicals don't advocate anything that is not mainstream is laughable, regardless of how many followers they have.

I wonder if hands with no thumbs make a different noise when clapping.

The data I have is my observation of politics for the past 20 years. The evangelicals are not going anywhere, as they represent the largest voting bloc the Republicans have. Ron Paul can turn out younger people to his rallies, but it does not translate into votes, otherwise he'd be sitting higher than 2-5% in these primaries. Rick Santorum, running as the evangelical candidate has been utterly cleaning Paul's clock state after state. The problem is that the younger generation is so turned off by social conservatism, they don't vote Republican in large enough numbers to make any sort of difference. The ones that do are the ones that sympathize with the evangelicals. Just look at this primary. It came down to the emissary for the 1%, or evangelical Santorum. I don't see the younger generation represented there at all.

Going from Arch Linux experience it would probably be in their repo in 50 hours, going by your 48 hour example.

Honest question: Why do you visit this site?

What for The People's Fusion Research Kickstarter Project? Here is a crazy idea: Some people are just fine with their tax money going to fundamental research.
I tire of the tax trolls that plague this site.

Keep telling yourself that. I see no evidence that conservatives are moving away from the religious right, and if you do, prepare for disappointment.

You say all of that, but yet he was the only real competitor Romney has had. He's won more primaries than Gingrich or Paul combined, so I don't think I'd say mainstream conservative thought has moved on from embracing the religious right at all.

Brian Dunning also says that DDT is safe, so I'm not sure I immediately trust him. He likes to use Junk Science when it suits his biases.

Well right now we're seeing many popular projects from people who are industry veterans going back 20-25 years. These are people with established reputations as being able to manage teams, and million dollar budgets. The only thing developers have to lose in this deal is their names and reputations, which if any of them wishes to remain in the industry, that will be a huge incentive not to rip people off. I think that's why you see people putting their trust in these bigger projects. It's also why it is harder for less known people to have a successful kickstarter campaign. The community backlash from someone abusing kickstarter would be career suicide.

You and me both. It's going to be a long year of waiting.
