Comment what has happened to Slashdot (Score 1) 777
I have been reading slashdot for many years. I have not visited this website for 3 months. I decided to revisit and see what stories were posted. When I fell upon this post I remembered why I stopped visiting this website in the first place. I see /. is still full of the same partisan, sophmoric, off topic posts as ever. I don't suppose this site is worth revisiting. Here is my one last parting shot. For those of you who think that their party is good and the other evil, think again. Both (all) parties are rife with corruption. I can name scores of scandles on both sides of the aisles. Oh and by the way, most of those PACs that you contribute to (environmental groups too) are chocked full corruption. More disinformation originates from special interest groups (including environmental groups and unions) than any other source. Don't kid yourselves, money and power corrupts EVERYONE not just Republicans or Democrats. The source of problems are those of you who are "team players" that blindly believe that their side is good and the other is evil. You have long ago sacrificed ANY objectivity that you might have had in lieu of a lemming mentality. The next time you feel the urge to tell someone how good your cause is and how evil the other cause is, do youself a favor and shut your mouth. To those with a modicum of intelligence and maturity, you just seem like a complete fool for they realise that there can be both nuance and reason to both sides of the arguement. Most people who vote are pricipled people who have actually thought about their positions and no they are not just being duped and they are not evil. It is the "team player" (Democrat and Republican) who are the problem.
