This joke is sooooooo Old!

The only saving grace is that it never gets old :)

Not all religious people want censorship.

Just the stupid ones.

He thinks gold, which is a commodity, is the same thing as money.

For most of the time the USA has been in existence, our money was based on the gold standard. This means that we had a gold reserve to back up our money. Gold is sold as a commodity, yes. So what! This has nothing to do with the fact that when we dumped the gold standard, and went to the Federal Reserve to maintain the value of our dollar, we set our selves up to be in the situation we are now with politicians managing the money supply . We no longer have anything worth a shit to back up the dollar, and now the dollar isn't worth a shit. I agree with Ron Paul. When we dumped the gold reserve and went to the F.R. system, we set our system to fail soon as we got the wrong person handling the F.R. And now the value of the dollar is .... Well, go out and try to buy some stuff. The best thing we could do is to phase out the F.R. and go back to the gold standard.

I should have known bennet would be there. I DIDN'T VOTE FOR HIM! He's a bozo!

Slashdot is always going to give you a tainted answer. slashdot'rs hate everything. If your curious about it tho, check out the downloads on Linux Mint. They've had record downloads, and are zooming up on Ubuntu at a record clip, according to most webstats. I switched to Linux mint instead of upgrading Ubuntu desktop, now it's on my laptop, workstation, and I'll probably try upgrading my company workstation to it when upgrade time comes along.

I still like ubuntu server! But I hate unity with a passion. Read what they plan on doing with Gnome 3! They're talking about putting gnome 2 stuff back on top of gnome shell, and making a hybrid Gnome desktop.

The Linux desktop Developers keep thinking that making the desktop simpler is the answer. And they're doing it by taking away options. Windows is busy putting options back into they're desktop. Someone needs to go beat the Gnome and Ubuntu developers with a clue stick.

Damn, now I'm sounding like a slashdot'r RATS!

Yes, It starts at the ballot box. Quit closing your mind and selecting democratic or republican candidates. They've developed a duopoly that locks out anyone working for the people. And we need to find a way to take the power away from the lobbyists. They're the ones writing the bills that get put before congress. IMHO we should get the people to put a amendment to the constitution to increase terms by 50%, and eliminate getting re-elected in office, and make all elections publicly funded and audited. This will cut off at least some of the flow of money to re-election slush funds, of which I suspect are slushed out of elections, and slipped into politicians pockets. You'll never see congress put a amendment out to do this. The only way it will get done is to get a group of people in each state to put the same constitutional amendment on the state ballot box.

Remember that the Constitution starts with "We the People". If we leave it to congress and the White House, they're going to change it to "We the Corporations".

I read it on my first monitor.....

Now I know better. I'll never use these morons again. I thought that it was run by the red cross. Doh, I should have known better.

The patent trolls are taking over slashdot. Microsoft must be happy now. Sigh

It's not the leadership of our space program. It was obama that decided it was a "dead end". NASA did good things for this country, then politics took over.
