Wouldn't it be great.

Nowadays with the internet and 24/7 news neither of these candidates would have made the cut. If you research a little political history and apply todays information technology, Nixon actually beat Kennedy and Goldwater was Ross Perot light.
Many political scientists think that if not for the assination of JFK the Earth would be a barren radiological wasteland now.

SCT Dewing

Posted By Steve Little

You may need to "reclean" the corrector. I bought a used C8 and had the same problem. Contacting the original owner he told me he "soaked" the corrector down with Windex to remove some sticky spots (bug juice or tree sap). I washed it in two gallons of distilled water with a couple drops of Dawn and 4 oz of iso alchohol, then rinsed it with distilled water alone. It seems the residue from the Windex "attracted" moisture from the air. Colorado also with less humidity, 18 to 25 %.

Can someone explain to me...

Posted By Steve Little

Have the american people really lost so much of their ability to reason that they would be willing to reward such a failure of leadership with another term?

No. They have a greater ability. It's not as simple as for or against, support "W" or support "F". For some it is, they have a big personal issue or belief that trumps all others, abortion, war, etc. If your against abortion and this is the most important thing to you, then you would support "W". Anti-war for almost any reason is your cup of tea, then you support "F".
For most it is everything together, from the party platforms, past experience, religion, on and on.
If I take everything into account and put each little item on a red or blue poker chip, then mark three grocery sacks, right, wrong, doesn't matter. Now I throw the chips into the appropriate bag. I just throw away the doesn't matter bag, pour out the right bag into a pile and the wrong bag into a pile. The right pile has lot more red chips than blue, the wrong pile has about an even amount of reds and blues. So I'm not supporting "W", I'm supporting what's right for me.

Bush to oust Castro????

Posted By Steve Little

does this mean that the invasion plans for Cuba are already drawn up?????

Yes.
There are people who work in that five-sided building whose only job is to take current information and develop plans of invasion for every country on Earth.

I think time and "gravity" will take Mr Castro out.

Meaningful prediction time revisited

Posted By Steve Little

You don't want anything I have in my portfolio!

I didn't make a prediction here but I thought:

Kerry would win by 1%

and in our state Jim:

Coors by 5%

I'll post my stock picks later in the investments forum so you'll know what to sell. smile

Anyone got the address of that monastary George Soros was going to check into? We should probably send him a get well card, flowers or something. 24 mil and the only thing to show for it, a raspy voice from screaming for four years.

Thank the LORD

That looked like the list from Clinton's resume, and he handily won too!

I reject your reality

Posted By Steve Little

Adam Savage may be the one to use it as of late. I think I read it in some of Timothy Leary's stuff back in "67".
