You should vote no matter what!

Vote for someone at least dumb ass!

With the election day around the corner and a large number of voters still undecided, people are getting on those who haven't made up their mind. I've made up my mind that I'm not voting for either candidate. So for those of you who think I should vote just for voting's sake, read on and learn something!

2008 Presidential Election: Let's get ready to rumble!

Barak Obama vs John McCain in the 2008 Election

With this election coming to an end and with voting only 15 days away, I am yet to take a side. Honestly, if either of these guys want my vote, they'll need to fight for it. Literally! Let the games begin!

    I think that John Heder needs to learn about diversity in acting as all the roles he plays dont change the way he acts. Overall though I did enjoy this movie.

    I have to be honest here, I was dissapointed with mark walbergs acting in this one. the movie itself was well worth seeing though. I saw it in the theatre and was not dissapointed

    Job losses are hitting closer to home
    Posted by Henry Martin on 2008-12-15 09:14:52
    What I find interesting about the chart is that the seasonably adjusted job losses are actually on the way DOWN. Also, lay the presidents' terms beside the chart and you see an interesting pattern. George HW Bush lost largely because of the economy, right? Well, look at what was happening up until he began to consider a second term! Job losses at the beginning of his third year were negligible, with a GAIN during the First Gulf War. All it took to beat him was the rhetoric of two opponents (Clinton and Perot) and a compromise with the Democrats on taxes, and a 90% rating went in the tank! The job losses went to the ceiling in the eight years of Clinton, signaling a change of power in 2000. Then, the slope went straight down before bouncing mid-term, returning to election day levels in time for a second term. But with the war on terror effecting the economy at home, and Republican losses in Congress, the job losses headed up. By mid-term, with the Democratic "takeover" of Congress, the job losses began to go back down ever so slowly. The spike in actual job losses this year are far below those of 2000, Clinton's last year. And so, our new president actually has it pretty good IF the trend continues as seen on the graph. Now, if he doesn't look at the large picture, the long-term cycle, and instead tries to manage the economy with TAX dollars instead, THEN we are in REAL trouble!

    The problem is not so much with the "big companies" as it is with the employees. These are just people like you and me, trying to make a living. They can't control the ads that claim the best intentions. Ads are the result of professionals finding out what people want and promising it to them. Companies have policies to assure quality, and people who don't go with policy are fired if they keep messing up. If you want to find out what a "company is really like" you'll probably only have to find someone who has been fired for not doing the things the way they were supposed to.

    Army: You don't need to know about it

    The problem is with the bias of CNN. The headline should have been: Million Dollar Developers Accused of Negligence. But that slant is all the way at the bottom of the article: >> Multiple lawsuits have been filed, accusing builders of gross negligence and seeking unspecified monetary damages. John K. Overchuck, a lawyer representing homeowners, is suing one builder, Lennar. "They're the ones who made the money off this property. They're the ones who bought this for dirt, and built these houses for up to a half a million dollars," he says. "They're the ones who made the profit, they're the ones who are responsible because they've got these people suckered into these houses." Lennar would not consent to an interview to CNN, but did provide a written statement. Lennar says it relied on studies that "made no mention of ... a military range," and claims the military did not show up in property ownership records because, "it had leased the land." << I'm sort of surprised they didn't find most of the bomb debris as they were clearing the land. But I guess the impacts can go quite far into the sand. Let's not blame the Army, they warned the builders in public reports. Granted, it should have been cleaned up when the reports were being made, but it seems that their funds had been cut by the president and his congress. Just who was that president one might ask. None other than Bill Clinton. Funds were not restored until after 1994. Priorities change, and the new Republican congress had no reason to look into land development by millionaires in Florida.

    Life is too precious for irresponsibility

    You really ought to "pick" your friends better. A vasectomy at circumcision! Wow! That would been all the girls would have old guys for husbands in the future! How gross is that? Anyway, "planned parenthood" was built on the premise that these things should be controlled. Population control - especially pf the undesirables such as the poor - was the master plan. It was only a small step from stopping the conception to killing the "product" when "birth control" did not work. If those of covenant communities - religious groups mainly - would eschew "birth control" (as the Roman Catholic Church does) then believers would soon outnumber the pagans who want to limit the population! Another factor, or course, is having the mother in the home for the first three to six years. Eighty per cent of what a child becomes is a result of what they learn in these years. Children, raised by stay-at-home moms, will grow up more healthy in so many ways. And the mothers, out of the workforce, leave jobs open for the fathers. It is the way it should be. Oh my, have I written a sexist, politically incorrect statement? Oops.

    I also believe that solar energy can be enhanced with magnifying glass and lenses as Henry stated. If you can burn bugs, you can power a pc.

    Energy boom: when will it begin?
    Posted by scott on 2008-12-12 12:39:34
    I believe that there is a way to create a perpetual motion energy generation cell using magnets that will produce power on demand and will not have the need for storage. It's just another one of my genius ideas!
