I don't think David's going to have any insight on this random geeks program. If you read the article it tells you how to interpret the error levels. -DBTrek

Ah . . . must be a problem with the system that created those original files then. What are you using these days . . . Vista? No . . . that's not it . . . I've had problems with iTunes as well . . . namely trying to organize the playlist on the iPod, having iTunes wipe out my music library...

Eh . . . iTunes. It's 'Apple' software, you know how it goes. You gotta cut the underdog some slack. They'll get their stuff working one of these days. :P:D:P -DBTrek

Maybe I misunderstand his humor. It's possible, tone of voice is difficult to determine in the written word. My point was simply that RM gets a lot of hype for being some sort of straight-talking cowboy that has the "rare" ability to find kooks in a kooky field. In practice though, he has the...

I think you're missing the point. You began by questioning me about when I had last gone to Iraq, stating that since I have not been there first hand I don't know what's really going on. From there you pointed out that news organizations have agendas and are second hand information. The...

I think we're talking about two different things. Yes, illegals are an excellent economic resource if you're in the position to employ unskiled labor. Two books that I thought did an excellent job of demonstrating this are: Fast Food Nation by Eric Schlosser and Reefer Madness: Sex...

Such as? Where can I find this academic research? The immigration problem is complex, but aspects of it are simple, such as the fact that more natural resources don't appear simply because more people settle in the area. I think it is a valid example demonstrating that human beings learn...

. . . and T Blossum, I'm sure people see enough of my posting. What was the point of quoting one of my longer messages in it's entirety and not adding anything to it? You want a signed T-shirt or something? Not until you pay your DBTrek fan club dues. -DBTrek

Are you suggesting that you never form opinions or have thoughts on anything other than what you personally experience first hand? I fail to see the wisdom in ignorng anything that one personally has not experienced. I've never eaten a fatal dose of arsenic or shot heroin. Am I not allowed to...

So . . . present day Iraq must be looking pretty good to you, since no one has a firm grip on the power, or is in control. Man . . . if only the whole globe looked more like Iraq! :P -DBTrek

I think we can safely assume that the government tells us whatever is in its best interest at the time. This doesn't seem to bring us closer to solving the UFO question though. I've seen the following logic used to justify one particular point of view: The government lies to protect its...

I'm not sure who the right-winger is, since I know I voted against Bush three times (twice for prez, once in Michigan primaries), spoke out against the Iraq war before it was launched, and did what I could to ensure we wouldn't be in the position we are today. What I find interesting is that...

Yep. When millions of dirt-poor people move in to an already crowded area, that area's 'wealth resources' increase. :rolleyes: I want to be civil . . . I really do .. . but the sheer magnitude of 'dumb' that I'm confronted with tests my very limited patience. I read what you guys write and...

Ah . . . you're right. Forgot about the FOX News thing. I was sorta lumping that in with another criticism of David's presentation. Next Sunday the entire show is going to be Stanton Friedman impersonations and Bush/FOX News bashing . . . just to provoke the listeners. . . . well...

Wait a minute . . . David blew up *before* it got political. Then people were offended at him blowing up and got snippity about it . . . and THEN it got political. It seemed to me that people were complaining and mad on all sides before the politics entered in. -DBTrek

Enjoyed the story, thanks for sharing it. It's creepy . . . mainly because it's strange but nothing outside the realm of what could happen in anyone's daily experience. I find tale like the one you relayed much more intriguing then listening to the yarns of abductee #476,538 and their dealings...

How about changing it to . . . "I'm a Leo!" Bwhahahah Sorry. -DBTrek

. . . and then my LSD wore off and Mommy found my meds. She made me take them while the singing llamas were praying to me. Reality slowly oozed it's way back in to my consciousness and I was like "Whoa, I was mega-trippin! That was crazy!" Your friend from around the bend, -Kal Korff.

Maybe . . . just maybe . .. some things have gone to shit, and some have not. And of those things that have gone to shit . .. maybe there's more than one singular simplistic reason/culprit for it. Just something to ponder if you ever get tired of carrying a political party's water for...

That's what I mean by the 'mental jihadist' approach to politics. By the way, as far as I know that phrase was created by ME, so let's not give Rove credit that I rightly deserve. I think a realist is able to look at the Bush administration and say "Wow, that was really bad for America"...
