I've been really thinking about sitting this election this year, for a lot of reasons.
Politically, I've just about had enough of both the Democrats and Republicans (this has been from someone who has voted Republican the last few elections)
Obama?
McCain?
Please.....
Is this the best the political parties can offer?
One seems to offer socialism which does not fly with me, while the other offers to keep up the war on terror that should of ended a while back.
Neither has an economical plan that will restore this land, it will continue to go on its downhill road.......
Both these parties care very little about my personal freedom, it is more about their manipulation of what they determine freedom to be. (whether it is the Patriot Act, or a "Fairness Doctrine".......)
The problems of "race" continue to rear their ugly head, no matter what has been said or done in the past. Whites hating Blacks, Blacks hating Whites, Hispanics hating Whites, Blacks hating Hispanics, etc etc etc.....
We can thank both these parties for not taking the road, and allowing the media to continue their manipulation of the masses.....
Dont even get me started on the media, as well, they too, are the biggest joke of the land.....
There reporting skills are no better than what is in the bottom of an outhouse...:) Enough said.
The only interest is power anymore, and I will not play that game......
remember...remember.... the 5th of November......
The day this nonsense ends.........

Ipod, Itouch, IPhone......IHate........
Yes it is time for the rant to start on Apple today about their wonderful products that have just changed the world......
I do have 3 of them things, (an older Ipod shuffle, and my 2 of my facehuggers have newer Ipods)
I never paid for any of them, got the shuffle for free from work and my sis gave the other 2 to her nephews.
How much do we use them? Honestly very little, not that we don't like music, we do, but here is what I think the difference is.
Music was meant to open, so all could hear and enjoy and experience. (Now some my dispute that, especially when we hear the boom boom boom going on when driving down the street)
That's why you hear the stereo, or the computer playing music, or the car stereo going here in the hivehousehold (there however is no "boom boom" coming from my car.)
Is the Ipod in a sense a more "selfish" device?
Another reason for the dislike of the Ipod is the fact you have to use software to initialize it, why cant you just plug it in and off and running you go, regardless of the computer platform? (Yes I am a Linux user, I had to set them up first in Windows before I was able to use them with gtkpod in Ubuntu.)
Another reason I don't like them, like all Mp3 players, they can not just store music, but other things as well, such as files, photos, etc etc....I wish they were only designed to work with music only, it would make my life a lot easier as a security analyst.
I guess I'm asking too much....
I don't have an Itouch, for all in a sense all it does the little bit more than the Ipod, but play movies and games...
The Iphone?
Don't get me started......
Why only one phone carrier? Sure you can modify the phone to run another network, but then Apple goes and makes a mess of things if you do.
Software development for the AppStore? What a joke.....
The licensing requirements for software developers to write software to put in the AppStore are so restrictive(Yes Apple did recently remove in the licensing agreement that if you are denied your app, you can now bad mouth Apple for denying your app)
Security:
Its also a joke......
As one security researcher put it in a recent article of Haking magazine:
"The Iphone certainly screams: KICK ME!
I couldn't decide to laugh or cry when I heard that it is running a UNIX-like operating system with all its services configured to run as root. (for those of you not aware, root is the equivalent of an administrator account, making it easier that if a hacker does penetrate the phone, it wont be very difficult to run malware or take over the phone directly.) Apparently someone at Apple decided that they could actually be stupider than Microsoft if they tried (Microsoft for a very long time before Vista encouraged the running of administrator access in their operating systems, leaving them extremely vulnerable for takeover by hackers, botnets, trojans, viruses, etc etc etc)
Well mission accomplished , Apple is going to be fixing and paying for that mistake for a long time."
What else?
The one thing that annoys me about all this is this imaginary level of status that one seems to have if you own any Apple product.
Am I wrong it that in line of thought? Is their something different about people who own Apple products? Are they really that much better than anything else that is out their or in the process of coming out? Is it all just marketing hype?
Just something to think about.....
