...you can tell them apart by their crimes.

It's really been all one big crime, since before Ancient Rome, but keep in mind they all did the job they were hired to do. They kept you focused on them, instead of the people they evict and blow up.

However, yes, we are on the steady decline, growing a little steeper every cycle. This is the path humans have chosen. Eventually the reset button will get hit, and it will start all over again. Birth, Life, Death...

Unless you really don't care about the stuff, the "cloud" at best, is a secondary backup in case the house burns down. And the service isn't exactly 100% reliable either, or your internet provider. And for true peace of mind, TWO local backups are needed. Hard drives are just too randomly flaky. I've been burned by all brands. Luckily sometimes it's the enclosure that broke down.

The "cloud" makes for a great courier service. I can upload straight to anybody who is synced to the same account, or it will be waiting for them when they hook up.

It's okay. I really don't expect you to notice. That's how conditioned response is supposed to work. But yeah, your feelings about him are quite clear, without any exaggeration on my part. It is precisely the polar opposite of your "distaste" for Obama. It's your ying and yang that give you balance. If we could cycle back and forth between them quick enough, we would have you flip-flopping faster than a fresh caught trout.

Yes, you do consistently idolize him in every post his name comes up, or when comparing other politicians. And yes, he is provably the most corrupt. No other administration had a cabinet so full of indicted and convicted criminals. Your eye remains totally blind to what he was because, you adore and idolize him. I'm not flinging poo. I'm pointing out the poo that you apply to yourself.

Ain't it the truth!

You're not disagreeing with me. You haven't heard a word I've said. And I certainly am not controlling what you say. Your pjmedia propaganda rag is doing that. You parrot them word for word

Why are ye fearful, O ye of little faith?

"Spaceflight" technology goes back to 1926.

And the 747 still burns kerosene. Progress in that respect has remained static since the first steam engine. However, think about the fact that man spent thousands of years on horseback, makes the present rate of progress look pretty good.

Again, you're trying to be funny, talking about "morality" in politics, after your idol turned out to be one of the most corrupt ever to occupy the office. Blind eye indeed!! And why do you want to go to war against your own mercenaries? That makes no sense.

And dude! You really went all Rush Limbaugh (feminazis, thanks for keeping that one alive)-Jerry Falwell there. Are you taking what he's taking? Don't do drugs, man...

Nope, you haven't said any of that. Your focus, more like obsession, is on the one person, regardless of his ability to control anything. You are on a bandwagon. And you'll jump off just as soon as your "party" #ReoccupiesResoluteDesk (or however you put it). You are fooling no one except yourself.

Or they could suspend Microsoft corporate charter until they come up with the goods. And besides, if the government can go into any country and grab whoever is "on the list", then they can do the same for a hard drive, too.

They will elect the politicians who will make it happen. If not, then NASA will spend the rest of its existence looking for lost change in the couch.

Regardless of the reasons one way or the other, nobody has the right to prohibit its possession and use.

So, is it not just as correct to say there was a 25% difference between the two groups?

Pot is an irritant. So far all long term effects have proven nil. A few months after stopping, it's like you never smoked at all. Maybe natural tobacco isn't so bad either, but cigarettes are so full of nasty shit...
