If you ask two economist the same question you'll get at least three different answers. The fact is income inequality and poverty is growing and that's not good for the country. Link In fact most of the countries with a higher Gina coefficient than the US are theocracies or dictatorships.
Coffee is very good for you however cream and sugar are not. I switched too decaf coffee a few years back but drink around 5 cups of caffeineted white tea every day and I swear by it as a wonder drug. I started drinking it 12 years ago and I haven't caught a single cold since. [quote]Finally, death. It seems to be everywhere right now.

FactCheck.org has a more accurate take on Obama's association with Acorn. It has to be noted that there is no evidence of fraud on the part of Acorn, only of employees trying to meet quotas to keep their jobs. And even if there was it would have been almost impossible for Obama to know this. McCain has also spoken highly of them at one of their events. Link
That's what you get going to one of those gay biker, truck stop BBQ, knitting joints. I know not to touch people I don't know but sometimes after quite few drinks I start to lean in a little so I can hear them over the jukebox. My hearing is ok it's just my brain doesn't seem to separate music from speech as well on alcohol. It has been brought to my attentions once or twice that I was getting on someone's nerves. I don't even realize I'm doing it and wou

Both these candidates are socialist. McCain wants to give a 5000 refundable tax credit to buy health insurance. That means if your one of the 38% that don't pay taxes you get 5000 from the people whom do. How is that not the same wealth redistribution as Obama's tax plan? A strong stable economy is like that butter substitute Smart Balance. I would like to see tax incentives to offset the tax increases to the wealthy for starting up new ventures and companies, especially
I think these guys must have made Planetside give up. Their program Terragen2 , witch appears to be quite similar, has been stuck at alpha for four years now. Their website is still up but there doesn't appear to be any development going on. I got Zbrush a few weeks ago and it's a lot of fun and more than complicated enough to keep me
[quote]The mistake was all Bush's, because he should have listened more to what Powell had to say and not ignored him until he up and left. If we had followed the Powell doctrine, the Afgani war would probably be over. Colin Powell has been one of my heroes since childhood, despite my difference in political opinion from him in many respects - he was a brilliant general and a great strategist. Your immediate dismissal of his opinion because he supposedly 'has aligined himself more with the

[quote]My problem with your article and the whole deal of the media pouncing on "Joe" is this, does this really encourage free speech? Does this encourage or discourage people from asking candidates questions when they get the chance? To me it totally discourages.

For vista64 and 4gb of ram playing any file over 150mb begins accessing the hd for playback.
[quote]Liberals like you think that we are against Obama because he could affect our standard of living or something. That's not true. My standard of living won't be affected by a tax increase. I will simply have to lay off workers or increase my prices. That's what CEOs are trying to point out.[/quote] If you lay off employees your going to produce less and or have fewer resources for customer service. If you raise your prices your going to sell less, especially if you produce a n
I don't like the idea of confiscating money but what if we just ask these 400 people if they wouldn't mind donating for the good of the country? No harm in that. Once you get over a billion in personal wealth and even before that, money can really become a pain in ass and just dealing with it can become a job. They don't have to do anything the money collapses into a black hole that keeps sucking more money into it. That's why they give so much to charity spending it is more work.
I installed Vista64 when it first came out and the only compatibility problem I've ever had was a 64bit driver for my epson scanner. I built a new rig just for vista64 and paid around $500 for 4 gigs of ram back then. It hurts a little to see the same memory selling for less than a $60 now but that's the way it is and it was worth it. Two gigs is the minimum for vista64 as it uses 1.5 all by itself so I just had too have 4. I can shut down a hungry game o
The first time I saw Palin I thought she looked just like Tina Fey. McCain should've picked Tina as his running mate.
[quote]Remains to be seen whether it is a fumble or smooth move. The only way it will be a smooth move (for me) is if McCain can cure Paulson's insanity by Monday.[/quote] All they need to do is white this out and the bill should be good to go. "Decisions by the Secretary pursuant to the authority of this Act are non-reviewable and committed to agency discretion, and may not be reviewed by any court of law or any administrative agency".

This has been a very dark day for the republicans indeed. They're already giving several examples of other candidates whom went ahead with the debate during a major crisis. It's being seen as a diversion from the fact that the economic fundamentals were hunky dory according to him just last week now he's got to run off to save the country from an economic disaster. The presidents address was of course lousy and the way they're trying to push this bill through is

[quote]I guess it all depends on whether you want us Americans to be endlessly dependent on the government or not. I do not.[/quote] Make no mistake, republicans and democrats both want us to be dependant on them, they just go about it in different ways. You have the democrats up front nanny state or the republicans give us your devotion so that we may protect you from the evils, real, imagined or of our own making, of the world. The end result is the same our dependence.
[quote]When you teach comprehensive sex ed in school as they are today, you are in effect giving these kids a green light. You can't say to a teen..."don't have sex, but if you do, take this (holding up a form of BC) with you." You're contradicting yourself and the kids know it. [/quote] I agree parents should not teach abstinence and safe sex practices, it sends a conflicting message. The parents should teach abstinence and the schools should teach sex ed. That's what school's all
I was digging around for a new hand-me-down for my dad, I created a monster when I gave him one of my old computers. Still hasn't figured out email but at 76 he's a gaming fool. My mom says he's on that dam machine all day but at least she gets control over the TV while he's gone. He's worn out Half Life and FEAR so I thought I would let him try Bioshock. That was a mistake, he doesn't hear very well so he doesn't understand what he's being told to do and hacking really pisses
