Comment Re:When do people get this (Score 1) 613

Thanks for calling me a redneck and accusing me of making baseless accusations. Nice try, however I'm a white Eastern European and an Engineer.

So because you're a white Eastern European Engineer you can't be a redneck? Well, I guess that depends on your definition of redneck, however, I know plenty of rednecks from all over the world. While I'm not saying you are, Location and Profession do not determine whether or not you are a redneck, if it did then profiling would be more appropriate in all cases. You don't think profiling is a good thing do you ?

This is why things like secure e-mail were created, in many cases you something like port authority (now websense, unfortunately the page has been redirected but not setup) that scans outbound email for confidential information and if found, sends an email with a link to the sender so that they can fill out a few questions for the recipient to answer. Only if all questions are answered corectly, will the https connection allow viewing of the message...

two-thirds is already required for amendments to the constitution, we have 27 of them now. two-thirds is what is defined by the constitution, so the question is do you want to restore the power of the constitution or serve your own needs? If you're going to advocate a change at least understand the implications of said change..... This change would effectively be an amendment to the constitution therefore it would require 2/3 of states to agree to even be of use ..... .

Actually, the way it was originally set up, is that the people voted for state congress and your state's congress appointed your US Congress critter, this was changed with the 17th Amendment. The 17th Amendment gave you and I the right to elect our US congressional representatives by popular vote. It was shortly after this amendment that things like "you're highway speed limit will 55mph or you will get no funding" started happening. Don't believe me ? Read it yourself

So the trick is, get the 17th amendment repealed and you don't need to pass another law to get shit back under control :)
