Which is obviously why I included a story about a GOP senator calling the cops on the first responders - to make the Democrats look bad.
Like about half the other threads in Politics (hi-yo!). Why feel the need to complain about some one posting political articles, when you can just not read the thread?
Disgraceful. This sort of thing is why I dislike homeowners associations.

Bull. SHIT. How is this going to help me be more secure? Instead of having multiple accounts and passwords, which spreads the liability and prevents total theft if I get hacked/phished on one of them, I'll be stuck with ONE account that will utterly fuck me over if it gets stolen? It'll be like if your Social Security number is stolen: Your life will be turned upside down, as someone else goes around pretending to be you. God help us if they want to try and link Credit Card info to it.CBS said:
It wasn't any governmental authority busting his balls, it is his homeowner's association. The homeowner's association is as irritating as unions. Hell, as irritating as public sector unions! Both concepts were created with good intentions but now all they do is give assholes an excuse to steal money. Have you seen that dreamworks movie "over the hedge?" Remember the lady who chastised everybody about the length of their lawn and whatnot? That's who's doing this.
There's already systems like this in place, it's called OpenID, Facebook Connect, and whatever the hell Twitter is calling theirs, I'm pretty sure it's the same standard anyway. There is zero need for any kind of government involvement here.
Maybe it wouldn't be a bad thing if we didn't rely exclusively on rare saints and the economically masochistic to teach our children.
There are plenty of talented people who would love to teach but won't do so because the pay is awful compared to other educated fields. It's given me a moment of pause a few times as well... you want to guess how many times I've had friends and family urge me to go into another field because I'll get treated better? Raising the pay while lowering some ridiculous pensions would be a good idea, imo. It would make the career actually seem viable to more people and wouldn't chase away so many new teachers.
It always goes up after a shooting. People, in their paranoia that the government is going to "Come in and steal their right to have guns" go on a shopping spree. The highest selling weapon? The Glock used in the shooting.
I don't think it's a political statement either. I think it's the pudding that provides the proof that when the chips are down, people know whether or not they'd rather have one. You can call that fear if you want, but to me it's the same kind of sensible fear that keeps you in a job (from fear of starving on the street).
