I just noticed the little "flag" on the comments now. *I have a bad feeling about this*
Woe to Slashdot if what might happen actually happens.
Eh, not really. Slashdot will slog along just fine without me. Probably better...
Is there any other place that is as indelible as Slashdot has been for 15 years? I don't ask for much...
but their heart is far from me. In vain do they worship me, [teaching as their doctrines the] precepts [of men] . . .
which started the whole world crying,
but I didn't see that the joke was on me...

Remember! Words are important! Action? ehhh, not so much. In fact, pay no attention to such superficial distractions. Inspirational words will get us through these troubled times.. The preacher shall command more respect than the practitioner. Practice is the devil's work. Better to cut off your hand than to lift a finger.. Ah, but how do you do that without... Acting!
No! It is I who fooled you! For I am dead.. and merely acting alive!
Genius!

Then you get to tell the whole world what you really think. The numbers will tell all. Clean sweep, or business as usual, what's it gonna be? Silly question, isn't it?
But even I have to admit that comparing it to Soviet communism is just a bit of a stretch.. That line of thinking does indeed make the bible "fungible with Mein Kampf". So, there you go.
because they are much more dangerous than those who are fundamentally heretics
There is an opportunity to see every single republican, AND democrat voted out of the House of Representatives. So, what... are you up to the challenge? Or, are ya chicken? And I'm going to hear the same old lame excuses one, more, time...with feeling?
I just watched a little sample of that show "Crossfire" the other day. Is that (and the FOX equivalent) really how you people get your information on who you vote for? Like, OMG! No wonder you all are nuts...
Bourgeoisie
That is what people despise. And it should be obvious as to why. The question is just another play of the victim card, like Donald Trump crying to his accountants, *Why does everybody hate me?*
Preach it from the mountain, not from your mansion.
individual liberty, parliamentary institutions, the sovereign rights of the people, are ideas of British origin, and have been propagated from this island over the whole of Europe.
But as the prophet and his words are very often not honoured in his own country, those ideas have been embraced with much more fervour by other nations than by that in which they originated.
The Continent of Europe has taken the desire for liberty and equality much more seriously than their levelling but also level-headed inventors, and the fervent imagination of France has tried to put into practice all that was quite hidden to the more sober English eye. Every one nowadays knows the good and the evil consequences of the French Revolution, which swept over the whole of Europe, throwing it into a state of unrest, shattering thrones and empires, and everywhere undermining authority and traditional institutions.
While this was going on in Europe, the originator of the merry game was quietly sitting upon his island smiling broadly at the excitable foreigners across the Channel, fishing as much as he could out of the water he himself had so cleverly disturbed, and thus in every way reaping the benefit from the mighty fight for the apple of Eros which he himself had thrown amongst them.

I'm envious as hell. That was on my bucket list.*
Which places do you want to see destroyed most before you buy the farm?

Reboot! ha ha.. get it? boot(s)? on the ground? Not gonna do it? na-ga-da? Wouldn't be prudent?
Louis XVI ??! Financing and arming terrorists? In addition to putting boots on the ground? Oh no!
Happy War Day everybody! Don't forget to reelect your congressman this fall... After all, what are we without war? We are out of business! But in today's world, social security is the evil.
A cast of thousands joined the gala event. When's the last time you've seen such bourgeois (man, that damn word really applies here) marketing, more flamboyant than an Apple float in a Pride parade? I sure hope they didn't leave any litter...
So, how do you suppose all those people got there? Bicycle? Rickshaw? Donkey cart?
Any circuit design must contain at least one part which is obsolete, two parts which are unobtainable, and three parts which are still under development.
