Oh, come on: I totally qualified that remark with uncertainty. You really have to go right to impinging my integrity? Sad.
"(of course I realize you still don't believe I never vote for him)" I take everyone at face value with regard to who they say they vote for, or not.

Who watches that noise? I take in HGTV and a little NBC News 4. For a total of 1-2 hours/week.

Oh! The light bulb! Of course! If only we could just incentivize that godforsaken light bulb!
If only the light bulb could defeat that majority rule bugbear!
Does the light bulb have to break itself and stab the majority rule bugbear in some critically vulnerable area, so that the bugbear bleeds to death? Or is the bugbear just light sensitive, and the proper wavelength from the light bulb will make it whither?

tl;dr: We're all doing what we can. How about something substantive, and a little less mumbo-jumbo?

Indeed. The uneven CSS implementation is a joke with no punchline.

Look, do you want to commit to reading/critiquing TCM in chunks? I'll cheerfully do that. We can go back/forth in JEs, if you like.

I can agree with you that the Progressive Vichy GOP, and their Democrat compadres, all need to go.
Unions, especially public sector unions, amount to an enabler for the new Progressive aristocracy.
What to do? Vote the bums out, say I.

Kind of a bummer, but, if you love your art, you take the suffering too.

I, in fact, do have mod points.

That's the way the gyoza goes,
When liberty itself is feared,
And self-defense, the fascist crows,
Is buried in laws as a face in a beard.

The only tangible suggestion I've ever gotten out of fustakrakich is total randomization of elected officials. I seem to recall asking if he was willing to accept President Sarah Palin. The memory is distant, but I think he rejected "random" randomization, if it meant That Awful Woman would take office.
In fustakrakich's world, you and I offer the same absolutist arguments, and HE'S the straight man.
When you pick at his ideas a little further, he oscillates between pseudo-Zen statements about how you just need to open your eyes, and a kind of watered down solipsism. I guess if fustakrakich were a little more clever, he'd be a script.

Moreso than entitlements?

Keep in mind that "left" and "right" are cheap distractions. The two wings of the Progressives have carved up voters into constituencies to be harvested for votes and cash.

Liberty is the ultimate protection of individual rights. The "managed liberty" pushed by Progressives of both Republican and Democrat stripe is an ersatz imitation foisted by our homo bureaucratus infestation (federal government) for the purposes of fattening the organization chart.

Those are all excellent points. And no insult intended by the quotes around your name, Barbara. I was merely treating your name as a character string. In any case, thanks for making Slashdot better.

Oh wait: my task was to impress you? Who knew?

Let's be perfectly clear here: you're going to accuse me of having failed to read with understanding unless I agree with whatever it is you want. IOW, this is not an actual dialogue.

How would such an arrangement have affected the fundamental sucktacularity of the material in any way?
