To you and all your sympathetic moderators.

I can do what I want and your fantasy of judging my state of mind is just that.

Carry on.

If you don't vote Libertarian, you're an idiot. If you know about the LP, and you still don't vote for them, you're an A@@hole.

Most libertarians want to return to a pre NewDeal huge spending military government.

Where we go from there is only for consideration after dismantling the current monstrosity.

psha.

The panics before 1913 were quick and painless compared to the long downturns we have now.

End the Fed.

You say that, because you are a Democrat.

On the other hand, neocon conservatives *would* consider Serk to a lefty, so his description *is* correct ( depending on your point of view )

The moral of the story, both sides hate libertarians... we must be doing something correctly.

WoT is a short little series you should be able to finish on the flight.

I installed it on my Nexus S several hours ago. I prefer the pure Google experience and don't like to mess with other ROMS, and it was quite an easy install.

ICS is much better than GB. Smoother scrolling, more polished and true multitasking. Music stays running even when paused, and Navigation stays in the background much better... still exploring, but this is everything I wanted from my Nexus S.

That is because top CEO positions are quite rare and difficult.

This is the free market at work, and is a corollary of individual freedom.

Where you should direct your ire, is at large gov entities: Freddie/Fannie, Fed Res, IRS, DHS, DOD, etc. Those are the leeches destroying our economy.

Not CEOs.

You all sounds like a bunch of computer nazis. How about the rest of us reboot our computers as often as we like, and continue to place importance on this metric.

I know Fedora and Debian both consider it. Does that upset you? Does that clash with your world view?

(posted from a freshly booted computer... it's extra snappy!)

It's like this:

It's the private sector's fault that Freddie & Fanny loosened lending standards. It's also the fault of the private sector that the Fed dropped interest rates to 0%.

That should clear things up.

By your logic, since society is becoming increasingly "complex" we should have more and more government involvement (tax). I disagree. I don't think government should continue to increase in size. I don't think forcing people to pay for programs "for their own good" is sustainable.

Governments *will* shrink. (See Greece) Do you want to do it the easy way or the hard way?

Another reason we can not have nukes, is that I think the 2nd Amendment intends us to have weapons common to the militia man/soldier. That is we should have ready access to same weapons used by Army Rangers, Navy Seals, Marines, etc.

So 50BMG M2 is protected (though currently laws violate the 2nd), while a bomb is not.

Try reading DC v Heller. The SCOTUS has opined the 2nd Amendment's main purpose is to clarify self defense. Not militia purposes. Not common defense.

Bradys cried very hard on 6/26/08 and 6/28/10.

The only reason I keep some email in folders is so that I can delete bunches of them when I am done with a task.

For example, once I am done with a project, and I never have to think about it again, the whole thing gets vaporized.

It is quite satisfactory.

Reading NASA's website, it sounds like the microshutters have already been developed and shipped

"The assemblies have passed a series of critical reviews, which include programmable 2-D addressing, life tests, optical contrast tests, and environmental tests, required by the design specifications of JWST."
