You know what the funniest thing about Coruscant is? What? It's the little differences. I mean they got the same sh** over there that they got here, but it's just, just there it's a little different. Example. Alright, well you can walk into a movie theater and buy a beer. And, I don't mean just like a paper cup, I'm talking about a glass of beer. And, in Galactic City, you can buy a beer in McDonald's. You know what they call a Quarter Pounder with Cheese in Galactic City? They don't call it a Quarter Pounder with Cheese? No, man, they got the metric system, they don't know what the fu** a Quarter Pounder is. What do they call it? They call it a Royal with Cheese.

Besides my general dislike of modern organized political parties why do people insist on calling the Democratic party "left". I'm not certain the American people would know what to do with a truly leftist party. What we have are two largely corporate controlled right wing parties which divide them selves across constantly shifting imaginary lines with little regard to the original platform once they are elected. How many times can a person go through this cycle of "If you vote for them the world will end so vote for me I can fix it" before they wise up to the fact that they are being played. Neither party has a vested interest in fixing our current issues because it's those very issues that get them re-elected and distract us from the damage they do get around to doing.

Yep, it would make a great movie(s). And it vould shmell goot too.

In the case of the British Empire it wasn't a "screw up". They purposely divided nations to create hostility. This served to keep locals busy fighting each other and allowed the British to come in as peace makers. Your right thought in that a lot of our current issues in the middle east can be traced to tis policy.

I bought one on sale locally. I'm a geocacher and wanted the full USB port for loading caches on my GPS (Delorme 60) when I'm traveling. It is a bit bulkier than some of the others but it's fast and responsive. I've not been disappointed at all.

I never said any one wanted to make laws for fun. In fact most people are very serious. While I do believe some people enjoy exercising power for its own sake most of the problems come from those who see it as a moral imperative to shape society by legislating change. Take the pro lifers and gun control advocates as examples off the top of my head.

I seem to be a fairly centrist left leaning Libertarian. Economic Left/Right: -2.75 Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -3.69

I guess I'm kind of a Libertarian without all the crazy economic baggage. I mean I believe the law should only limit one persons rights where that person begins to affect the rights of another. I believe in small government but have no problem with sane and needed federal programs. I have no problem with universal health care as long as treatment options are not limited by some arbitrary board. I'm strictly against morality based legislation (both of the left and right verity). I'm all for the legalization of both drug use and prostitution. I think the market should be as free as possible but with appropriate and limited over site where needed. I hold privacy near sacrosanct. I guess I don't see the need to polarize our government and would prefer laws be applied with common sense. Of course I also think it should be considered an act of treason for a representative to vote on a bill they have not read in full themselves. What does that make me?

When the Jeagermonsters have returned to Mechanicsburgh. Boom Boom Ba-Doom Doom Doom!

WebOS is awesome. I had a pre for a while and the only reason I moved to the Evo was the crappy hardware the pre was designed on. The screen on that phone cracked three times (right at the control button each time) and I did my best too baby it. Once it cracked while I was holding it in my hand. WebOS on decent hardware. I'll take that any day.

Fear, Loathing, and 24 hours hiding on my couch from the hordes of angry grandmothers.

Yep. We occasionally replace an ID-10-T bus after particularly nasty PEBUAK faults. Definitely worth the effort and expense.

She schmells gooot too!!!!

My roommate's SO was having problems with her Compaq laptop. She asked me to help and the OS needed to be reinstalled. The problem was there was no recovery disk. I run OS X and Linux on my systems and the latest copy of Windows I had was '98. The solution, I installed Ubuntu. Aside from one complaint about a particular windows based game CD the decidedly non technical owner is extremely happy with it.
