Hey, Ive been in a firefight before! Well, I was in a fire. Actually, I was fired from a fry-cook opportunity.

Quote: All our presidents have been kinda crapshoots if not outright terrible. Washington: refused to be king, good, native-american killing federalist, bad. Adams: Managed to weasel us out of a crippling debt to France, good, Alien and Sedition Act, bad. Jefferson: Louisiana Purchase, good, hypocrisy about slavery, bad. Lincoln: freed the slaves, good, bloodiest war in US history, bad. Wilson: Tried to keep us out of WW1, good, got into WW1 anyway resulting in current Middle East configuration and clusterfuck, bad. Hoover: great depression, prohibition. FDR: Welfare reforms and social security, opinion varies, WW2 and atomic age, bad. Eisenhower: tried to warn us what was happening to the government, good, but he also used the Red Scare and was for the interventionism that led us to our current hated busybody status, bad. JFK: set us on the path to the moon, good, but his personal life was a liability that was used against us, bad. The rest are basically completely unremarkable, whatever they'd accomplished for good or bad completely undone within a decade.

Quote:Originally posted by BYTEMITE: Ugh. The insistence upon voting is now propaganda about "civic duty" that really only perpetuates the injustices and corruption of the current system. Anyone who votes is indirectly enabling the deaths of millions in foreign wars as well as a system that puts the interests of lobbyists, businesses, and the government before citizens. I don't vote.

The idea that you could have an effect over anything that happens in the world is like a siren's call. It's well meaning. It's admirable. Even if it's a grotesque horse and pony show and even if any person you might elect is an asshole who will do the exact opposite from what you'd want them to do and dissemble to your face as to why. I just can't get past the lie of it. These people do NOT represent US.

Quote:Originally posted by BYTEMITE: If Jesus himself came back and became the US president, I assure you, I WOULD find something wrong with his policies. For one because my dislike of authority extends to religious authority, and for two because you don't develop good foreign policy if everyone is kissing your ass. I'll burn in hell before I let anyone in this world go unchallenged, unquestioned, and unshriven. People MUST be allowed to think for themselves. I think it's such an important role that I would throw myself into the lake of fire of my own volition. And that's even before I get into the many issues I have with his religion, his dad, and the apocalypse that his return would herald.

Quote:Originally posted by DEVERSE: I always wondered why they never considered naming a ship after Grace Murray Hopper. I learned FORTRAN from her at the Nuclear Propulsion School and considering what she did for the USN they should have named a state after her.

Quote: And I'm with Byte. Voting is a pawn of a gov't that wants it's people to think they have a power when the whole show is rigged. Vote, don't vote, no policy is changed by will of the people.(P.S. that WILL is ridiculously moronic and prolly shouldn't be imposed, BTW) You don't think it's all manipulated by people that have waaay more money and power than anyone here, you're just a weee bit in denial.

Oops, didn't mean to say " I often forget " , I should have said I'm perpetually indifferent. I don't care.
