Heaven forbid we worship a different interest, much less cross polinate ideas with tech knowledge. Instead, I insist that people manifest their political idealogies in their wireless driver designs! ;)
In the words of Monty Python, "Run Away!!! Run Away!!!" The invisible hands of current political regime doesn't know of how to file a 4X on their failed investments so they start wars. It's timeless, stoopid and played out. People seem to forget that the cornerstone of the US govt was founded on genocide and imperialism. All this senseless violence just proves that an eye for an eye leaves everyone blind. The human race will simply auto destruct anyways. When the grass grows thick it burns itself down. We will all burn since humans will overpopulate this planet and overcome themselves. In a recent NPR interview with Stephen Hawking, they asked him what the greatest problem the world is faced with today and he responded with overpopulation. Where's the world referendum for that? Unfortunately we're too busy being unhappy with the amount of virtual tree we earn to even ponder it. It's funny that we spend so much of our lives working for bits of dead tree. Humanity is the only animal I know of that wipes it arse with the same thing that it works so hard to earn. Feed your inner sea monster. In the words of Dr. Dre, "I damn near got capped cause my beeper kept beepin." =) N --- Lists <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > KEEP POLITICS FOR YOURSELVES.
