I take this as a break for you to get away from software development. Fine. Just don't take politics (and yourself) too seriously. If everybody makes contributions as best as he can to his own field, and only pay attention to politics proportionally, everything will be alright.

If the belief that main street needed a bailout due to a credit crunch then why not have the govt. take over WAMU and Wachovia and turn them into "the peoples banks" and extend proper credit through them until the "crisis" is over. Put the money right in front of the people who supposedly need it and not in front of the people that committed fraud.

Mr. Penguin, as I said earlier, you are entitled to your one vote. You can cast your vote under any pretense, any one of those "I choose... " deductions of yours. Nobody can question you and nobody cares. Just don't kid yourself into believing that your way of thinking is always right, and someone else's is always wrong.

I would love to see it changed to be every vote is counted, dump the electoral college.

"Before you vote McCain, you better think. He has a 1 in 7 chance not surviving hist first term. If he were to have a second term, it would be about 1 in 3.3 chance of not surviving "
One in seven way understimates the chances of Palin getting control. During 9/11, Cheney was running the government for a time, and it wasn't because Bush was dead. I don't like Cheney, but he is a lot better than Palin. So death is not the only thing that would put the VP in power. Illness could too, or anything that keeps the President away from the levers of power at a critical time, and all times are critical these days.
I have always like McCain, but it's my impression that he is getting less likable and less trustworthy as time goes on, whereas Obama seems to be getting cooler and smarter. Maybe it's the way McCain reacts to the kind of pressure he's under. Just because you react ok when being tortured doesn't mean you do well under political pressure -- it's a completely different thing.

To all my Maemo friends. I will no longer be monitoring any of my threads here on a regular basis. I am no longer supporting anything I did under maemo at maemo.org. If you need some help with something you can reach me at tablethacker.com or www.facebook.com/penguinbait. I have disabled my PM's here, and removed myself from Council email and Community mailing list. There has been some fun times, see you around.
