It is a small small world.....It is a small small world....It is a small small world........
Wish my best Disney story? Here it is. A Disney employee decided to leave the company and start her own business. Which she does. In some kind of promotional items gift line.
She gets this idea.....that you can sell "pixie dust" at the Disney stores. Simple multi colored metal flakes in cloth bags. The kids would buy them....and then sprinkle each other with 'pixie dust'.
So she take the idea to provide Disney stores with 'pixie dust' as a vendor. Disney considers it for a time....then says no.
4 months later Disney comes out with its own "Farie Dust". Exact same thing with a different name.

Not surprising... and kind of sad. They have really veered off the track on a grand scale...
Hot_Single_Dude: And you Still beleive you are a professor Conrad hah?

Laser-guided weapons were first developed in the United States in the early 1960s. The USAF issued the first development contracts in 1964, leading to the development of the Paveway series, which was used operationally in Vietnam starting in 1968. Although there were a variety of technical and operational problems, the results were generally positive. LGBs proved to offer a much higher degree of accuracy than unguided weapons, but without the expense, complexity, and limitations of guided air-to-ground missiles like the AGM-12 Bullpup. The LGB proved particularly effective against difficult fixed targets like bridges, which previously had required huge loads of "dumb" ordnance, and large numbers of sorties, to destroy.

Leave Technology to the people who can understand it,Please. You even screwed up pasting. Besides you couldn't learn what I know,if you had another Century at your Disposal. Don't be fooled with the couple things I wrote in my Profile!
Hot_Single_Dude: Your Geroge W Bush called John McCain a Trator and a Coward not too many years ago..... and majority of republicans rahter wanted George W Bush as their president
just imagine... a guy whom Republicans Rejected and voted for Bush instead!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WhatUwish4: No disrespect to you Hugs (seriously), but I found that one to be really, really transparently biased.
You are welcome to your view and I cited the source...which is NOT pro-Republican...but the issue is the detail of the content. Even if Acorn employees have misbehaved from time to time it is not really in the same league as the systematic campaigns to remove voters from the register. I would be interested in your response to some of the figures quoted for the SCALE of the problem!

Fallingman...here is how most Florida voters are removed from the voter registries. Voter inactivity. I think that it is 5 elections with out casting a ballot and the computer send thier name to the election supervisor as being inactive.
Then a notice is placed by their name for 2 or 3 more elections. If after that time, no ballots have been cast...they are removed.
America is a very mobile society. People move an average of 5 times in thier lives. Few report a departing move to a election office. If you let them build up on the registries.....you can have problems. Duplicate names....larger data bases.....so in the St. of Florida the voting laws allow for this removal process to occur.
I have not heard of a proven 'caging' situation in the country since the 1950s.
Tom, lots of things have been said here by you among others that are not "proven". However, the article I cited gave a number of specific statistics:
Since 2004, Colorado's Republican Secretaries of State have purged one out of every five voters from the rolls. The current Secretary of State, Mike Coffman, a Republican also running for office, recently purged an additional 37,000 voters and discarded 6,400 new voter registrations -- overwhelmingly Democratic -- based upon an obscure technical mistake that Coffman's office encouraged voters to make in the first place.
The GOP "anti-fraud" campaign resulted in one in nine New Mexico Democratic voters finding their names had disappeared from voter roles during this year's caucus.
Despite a recent Supreme Court decision upholding Ohio's refusal to disenfranchise 200,000 legitimate voters based on this absurd demand to "match" voter names to databases, White House operatives are still fighting to purge these names from the rolls. President George Bush last week personally asked his Attorney General Mike Mukasey to renew Republican efforts to disenfranchise these voters.
What bothers me more than the huge numbers is the fact that one political party is investing a lot of time and effort into specifically targetting potential voters for the opposition. Instead of persuading them by offering a more attractive political platform they are knocking them off the register and creating new and more difficult hurdles to jump to be allowed to vote. All this in a country where the low voter turn-out has been a source of concern for many years!!!
Fallingman: Indeed. Whatever one's reservations about Obama's potential - and there are legitimate reasons to be cautious - it is important to realise that the bad guys ARE in power and that they need to be removed from it!
It's pretty obvious that we got here under the leadership that's run amok. Time to make a real change and a difference not stay stuck in the old political machine that created this mess!!!
