Good point but we all know only Democrats go to jail.

[KILL THE WISE ONE]

1. the Republicans hacked the Democrats computers and no one was punished ?

2. um- the "climate-gate email hacking" was a hoax just like the "ACORN Pimp Video".

3. What possesses someone to make a video like that?

He could have written everything there in a few lines but instead he chose to broadcast a close up image of his face as he stammered through it like a 3rd grader.

4. You'd be amazed about the runaway narcissistic personalities of a lot of kids nowadays...

... something happened in the late 80s, I swear. Too much positive reinforcement has created some serious works of art out there.

I dunno if this is how generational divides happen, but I started to see some alarming trends with some of the kids who were starting college as I was leaving academia.


Oh, well. The hypocritical part is that e-mail is a non-secure medium. I.e. if you read some of the contractual stuff when you sign up for e-mail (or you ISP in many cases), you are giving up your right to privacy. Since your messages travel unencrypted through the internet. And many copies of them are kept in different hosts during the delivery process. In fact, I believe the account hacked was from Yahoo, which I think they do like google and they actually "read" your e-mails in order to extract information to better target advertising.

5. "What possesses someone to make a "(reply)"like that?"

Fear that a black man is our president. Living one's life in a constant state of fear; fear of science, of supernatural manifestations and of life itself. Hatred is today's mantra. This board is trying to lift like minded people out of the mire and attempt to hold those responsible for crimes accountable.

Now what was your post?
