WHAT THE HELL AMERICA??

"American veiwers watched intently, and impatiently as the pretty colors flashed and the media exposed the inner workings of Brittany's obviously, deep character.

I was amazed, truly dumbfounded wondering how we as Americans have sank so low. To all Americans I have but one phrase that helps me throughout my day of constant dangers and ever present death around the corner, "WHO THE FUCK CARES!" Wow America, we have truly become a nation of self-absorbed retards. I wish the world was in a state where everytime I stopped to scratch my balls it captured national headlines, but I'm a realist and consiquently think realistically. This world has serious problems and it's time for America to start addressing them."


"I have now lost at least 20 IQ points watching you ramble on about the petty problems of millionares. You can also chalk up about 3,000 brain cells, more than i lost in about five years of drug abuse, to watching your disgusting display of world news.
( More behind Cut )And I have yet to see a story about the Project for a New American Century, which relies on the military and corporate takeover of the middle-east oil reserves.

Congratulations, you keep the masses ignorant and uninformed. You are truly a system that is a product of social conditions. A sickness on society.....the symptoms being "ignorant American", the diagnosis.................."terminal.""

"If you have nothing to hide, he argued, what's the problem?"

uh...

There is a problem with that attitude.

As some of you know, Congress passed a resolution December 11th House
Resolution 847 a resolution recognizing the importance
of Christmas and the Christian faith.

I looked up the voting record of the local rep and found he voted "yes"
I emailed his office expressing outrage.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

My email to Mike McNulty

Mr. McNulty,

I am horribly disappointed with your vote for passage of the above resolution.

This country may have have been founded by deists and other faiths but I feel that
you departed from your sworn duty to "defend and protect the Constitution"

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."

Recognizing the importance of Christmas and the Christian faith is very close to violating the above amendment.

I have voted for you in the past because you were willing to make a stand against the Republican party and the war in Iraq.

Please consider that when this country was founded Thomas Paine warned us against mixing religion and politics.
Also that your constituents on the whole may be Christian, but there are many who are not.

Please read his "Age of Reason" for it contains the following quote

"I moreover believe, that any system of religion that has anything
in it that shocks the mind of a child, cannot be a true system."

I am a Pagan by nature, Proto-Wiccan by form,, but my church is of my own mind.

This is not nor I hope it will ever be a "Christian Nation"

Signed

QUOTED EXACTLY AS RECEIVED (sic)

FROM :
Michael McNulty
Congress of the United States of America.
21st District, New York


Dear Mr. _____________

I am in receipt of your communication regarding H. Res 847, a resolution recognizing the importance of Christmas and the Christian faith.

The resolution passed on the House on December 11th under suspension of the rules necessary 2/3rds vote. I voted "yes"

I appreciate your (sic) sharing your views, but I respectfully disagree with you. This resolution is of simple recognition and is not intended to place one religion or faith above another.

Thank you for contacting me. Please feel free to do so whenever there is a matter of interest or concern.

Sincerely (best wishes)
Signed
Michael R. McNulty
Member of Congress.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I still take issue with "is not intended to place one religion or faith above another."
What happened to the recognition of the rest of the faiths or religions?

Even worse, he is the same party as I am.
Even worse, I agree with his stance on the war in Iraq
Even worse, I voted for him

One bit of good news, he is on his last term as he is retiring.

So, my advise to those who still vote. Ask your candidate where they stand on separation of church and state.

Let's not go to Camelot for it is a silly place!

Step 1 Bill G. Releases shitty os

http://origin.arstechnica.com/journals/microsoft.ars/2007/04/20/intel-may-have-revealed-the-release-date-for-vista-sp1

Technology rumors at their finest: first, Microsoft sent information to Technology Adoption Program (TAP) members saying that members' feedback was needed to help it prepare for the release of Vista Service Pack 1 "in the second half of CY07." This was later backed up by comments from several Microsoft execs during various interviews, but suddenly there was a significant shift, and the company no longer wanted to talk about SP1. In fact, over the past couple of months, Microsoft has insisted that they had no timetable for SP1, implying that Vista was so good that a Service Pack was not needed any time soon. Unfortunately for Microsoft, it looks like Intel CEO Paul Otellini has spilled the beans.

Step 2 Press release about "patent issues"

http://yro.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=07/05/14/0018242

"Microsoft told Fortune magazine that various free software products violate at least 235 patents, and it's time to expect users of this software to pay up patent licensing royalties: 'Microsoft General Counsel Brad Smith and licensing chief Horacio Gutierrez sat down with Fortune recently to map out their strategy for getting FOSS users to pay royalties. Revealing the precise figure for the first time, they state that FOSS infringes on no fewer than 235 Microsoft patents.'"

Typical tactics

Make them FEAR the use of alternative software..

I say use the alternatives because Vista is a hardware hog along with being a
"dog's breakfast"

Windows Vista - A dog's breakfast

Opinion. It sucks. It's a complete mess; a dog's breakfast. It's bug-riddled; it contains legacy features that hark back to Windows 3.1, and, worst of all, it can't be trusted with your valuable data. The user interface only looks slick; underneath it's a slapped-together hotchpotch of brain-dead, dysfunctional and downright buggy features. Windows Vista was surely designed and built by the same well-meaning but thoroughly misguided committee of morons who were responsible for the three-legged Bactrian camel named Humphrey.

I say to the FSF/OSS community let them sue to prove the "patents" are bullshit
and that MS is nothing more than a simple leg breaking monopoly

Hi gang,

Long time no hear.

Finally at my pc long enough to stick my head up and say..

Drop me a note, lets do coffee.. something..

Been doing major overtime at work.. and the unpacking thing.
The court thing (small claims) and this seems to be the first free minute that I have had to post even a small note to say, yes I am alive
I am still breathing, no I have not vanished from the planet.

I have not been eaten by the novel that took over my life.
I wish I could say that.

I am taking a breather from coven work (call it major burnout)
Gone back to walking my true path that I started with.

Even considering sitting down and redoing the tarot notes that I have somewhere in a box so I can go back to KNOWING the cards again.

Yeah major burnout...

I need to take time for me.

The move from hell consisted of me a my friend Rob
working over 18 hours in pouring rain to load and UNLOAD
a 27" truck. I was awake for over 24 hours.
I worked another 8 hours the next day with my friend Tim
to finish gutting the truck.

That was 6 weeks ago.. I am finally not exhausted all the time.

I was invited to one of the last things the Commissioner of my Division
will do before he retires next Tuesday.. A ribbon cutting to our "cold-site" back up call center.

That was one of the reasons I was working major OT..
(2 Server migrations and two major software migrations later there seems to be a little bit less work to do daily)

This weekend is meant to be a breather for the first time in 6 weeks.
