Er, no, check the rules. Intentionally mentioning Hitler does not work. <quote> However there is also a widely- recognized codicil that any intentional triggering of Godwin's Law in order to invoke its thread-ending effects will be unsuccessful. </quote> (ref. http://www.catb.org/~esr/jargon/html/G/Godwins-Law.html) general ref. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Godwin's_law > > Don't think outsourcing affects you?

You're okay......... Probably a bunch of pissed off Indian farmers - the ones least able to bear the competitive force of corporate farming from the US and the least empowered group to oppose the agreement. When trade barriers fall some people get hurt and some get helped. I'm not opposed to trade barriers being removed. I'm opposed to letting economists and politicians being the ones that implement the plan. They never seem to know what to do about the displaced folks. > > See http://zazona.com > > Hey, youngsters: between the ages of 18 & 36?

Charles Rangel of NY (D) introduced a bill to restart the draft as a way to shine a light on the process of executing a war. The desire is to draw in more people so that they are stakeholders in the discussion about war. Arm chair warriors talk tough but would not be caught in the "boots on the ground". This is not really an appropriate forum for this topic. > > <snip political posturing> -- Mike Moving forward in pushing back the envelope of the corporate paradigm. -- TriLUG mailing list : http://www.trilug.org/mailman/listinfo/trilug TriLUG Organizational FAQ : http://trilug.org/faq/ TriLUG Member Services FAQ : http://members.trilug.org/services_faq/ TriLUG PGP Keyring : http://trilug.org/~chrish/trilug.asc
