The contraction "it's" means "it is" or "it has". Now that you know this, go back and read your post.

Hilarious, You win the internet. Thanks @unitron.
Thanks, one more and I'll have the complete set!
But you didn't come through with a URL, so, what difference, at this point, does it make?
But all you supplied was a link to YouTube which has to be loaded before you know what it is, instead of just being able to mouse over it and see something written in human understandable language at the bottom of the page to possibly give you a clue as to whether you want to bother with it or not.
Which is really more a complaint against YouTube than against you.
I mean, is
What pile of bollocks.
So you're saying that it is dying fast enough?
Or that it needs to be dying faster?
To see all the people who have bought into the RNC talking point that "Democrat" is the adjective form of that word.
What you're looking for is "Democratic."
Actually, it's used by the right wing as the epithet form of the word.
Which is why they do it.
Because "you" as a singular voter cannot hope to overcome the "they" of highly motivated corporations and other private interests. It's a false equality, because in the end those with the money can game the system to their advantage. A major union with a couple of million bucks to "donate" is going to get the ear of a legislator a lot more than Joe Q Public.
You're invoking the standard "all things be equal" logic when all things are very much not equal.
From where did said major union get that couple of millions of bucks if not from the thousands of members it's supposed to represent?
So that's like 200,000 members each giving $10, or 20,000 members each giving $100.
And that can also represent 20, 000 or 200,000 votes come election day.
As opposed to one Koch brother giving the first million and the other one the second million.
Even though that only represents 2 votes in the ballot box.
Speaking of gaming the system to their advantage.

...these flags and their exact locations, 'cause I think I'm not seeing them.
What are they supposed to be for, anyway?
Is this an only in Beta and not Classic view thing?

2600—named for the frequency that allowed early hackers and “phreakers” to gain control of land-line phones—is the photocopier to Snowden’s microprocessor. Its articles aren’t pasted up on a flashy Web site but, rather, come out in print. The magazine—which started as a three-page leaflet sent out in the mail, and became a digest-sized publication in the late nineteen-eighties—just celebrated its thirtieth anniversary. It still arrives with the turning of the seasons, in brown envelopes just a bit smaller than a 401k mailer.
“There’s been now, by any stretch of the imagination, three generations of hackers who have read 2600 magazine,” Jason Scott, a historian and Web archivist who recently reorganized a set of 2600’s legal files, said. Referring to Goldstein, whose real name is Eric Corley, he continued: “Eric really believes in the power of print, words on paper. It’s obvious for him that his heart is in the paper.”
2600 provides an important forum for hackers to discuss the most pressing issues of the day—whether it be surveillance, Internet freedom, or the security of the nation’s nuclear weapons—while sharing new code in languages like Python and C.* For example, the most recent issue of the magazine addresses how the hacking community can approach Snowden’s disclosures. After lampooning one of the leaked N.S.A. PowerPoint slides (“whoever wrote this clearly didn’t know that there are no zombies in ‘1984’ ”) and discussing how U.S. government is eroding civil rights, the piece points out the contradictions that everyone in the hacking community currently faces. “Hackers are the ones who reveal the inconvenient truths, point out security holes, and offer solutions,” it concludes. “And this is why hackers are the enemy in a world where surveillance and the status quo are the keys to power.”
Thank you. I was wondering what the heck "Downtown Canada" meant.
Well, obviously it's all the parts that aren't in uptown Canada.
