  1. Well, you shot your own self in the foot. If you don't know a partita from a sonata, what kind of credibility do you expect to have? Oh Dear Lord. Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.
  2. I've had the pleasure of dinner with him on several occasions and would agree... But, don't think he will. Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.
  3. You do not know what you're talking about. You might want to look at what he actually said. And you think I didn't double-check before writing to you of all people? http://www.google.com/#hl=en&tbo=d&output=search&sclient=psy-ab&q=obama+wants+the+ban+on+military+style+assault+weapons&oq=bama+wants+the+ban+on+military-style+assault+weapons&gs_l=hp.1.0.33i29.2643.2643.0.4754.1.1.0.0.0.0.133.133.0j1.1.0.les%3B..0.0...1c.cp4vCLh26vM&pbx=1&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.r_qf.&bvm=bv.41524429,d.b2I&fp=94e32a4cea89f529&biw=1920&bih=944 Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.
  4. Bach 's Chaconne comes to mind. The Chaconne is a partita. Sigh. I am so alone. Le mie scuse Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.
  5. That is not even close to true. The NRA has never stood for anyone having a weapon that should not. This is not even close to rue. On January 14, he threatened to sign 19 executive orders into place including Feinstein's ban on "assault weapons." He has since softened his approach.

  6. You know, I started to go down that path, but the collective minds and similarities between both agencies is quite a brain trust. Your thoughts on combining the two? Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.
  7. With regard to fiscal policy, I would support: Federal Agencies (Departments) that could sustain an immediate 33% in cuts are outlined in the CATO Institute's. "Downsizing the Federal Government." http://www.downsizinggovernment.org/ In addition; I would increase some funding to the SBA and Department of Energy. NASA's role would change to that of Oceanic exploration. Dismantle & reorganize Homeland Security. Dismantle TSA Remove the Patriot Act. Implement a Constitutional Balanced Budget "Amendment" over a ten year period. Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.

  9. You need to brush up your analytical skills. The NRA is emulating Chicken Little and screaming "The sky is about to fall" and all the sheep rush out to buy guns and ammo. The NRA is playing you folks like violins. The Obama egg came first. Chicken Little is a result; not a cause. That's just not true. The nra has been waging the modern version of its PR campaign ever since LBJ made a speech about Oswald having bought his rifle via mail order. This was written before Newtown. The Myth Of NRA Dominance | The Declining Role Of Guns In American Society PART 1 - http://thinkprogress.org/justice/2012/02/09/421893/the-myth-of-nra-dominance-part-i-the-nras-ineffective-spending/ "...lest the National Rifle Association and its congressional allies rise up and weaken gun laws further. Inevitably, when the issue of guns arises, the myth of the fearsomely potent NRA comes right along. But it is just that – a myth." PART 2 - http://thinkprogress.org/justice/2012/02/13/424213/the-myth-of-nra-dominance-part-ii-overrated-endorsements/ "In today’s installment, I will address the question of the NRA endorsement, something sought by not only Republicans but many Democrats as well." PART 3 - http://thinkprogress.org/justice/2012/02/22/430560/the-myth-of-nra-dominance-part-iii-two-elections-the-nra-did-not-win/ "Yet there are other more compelling explanations for the outcome in Tennessee, the simplest of which is a partisan one. Tennessee was in the midst of a larger trend in the South, where the state was growing more and more Republican over time. When Al Gore arrived in Congress in 1983, the House delegation he joined had six Democrats and three Republicans; after the 2000 election the margin was 5-4 in favor of Republicans, and today it is 7-2 Republican. The 2000 presidential election was not an anomaly, but rather part of a steady trend away from the Democratic party in Tennessee. Bill Clinton won there in 1996 by only 2.4 points, less than he had in 1992. Gore lost there by 3.9 points, John Kerry lost in 2004 by 14.3 points, and four years later Barack Obama lost by 15.1 points. The state is now considered safely in the Republican column for any presidential election. There is also some more direct evidence about the effect of the gun issue. As part of a rolling cross-section survey that lasted the entire campaign, the National Annenberg Election Survey interviewed over 1,000 Tennesseans over the course of 2000, and among the questions they asked was whether respondents thought the federal government should do more or less about “restricting the kinds of guns people can buy.” Contrary to the picture of Tennessee as a state yearning to do away with gun laws and punishing Gore for his support of them, a full 60 percent responded that the government should do more, while 18 percent said it should do the same amount. Only 9 percent said the government should do less, and 12 percent said the government should have no restrictions at all." PART 4 http://thinkprogress.org/justice/2012/03/01/435437/the-myth-of-nra-dominance-part-iv-the-declining-role-of-guns-in-american-society/?mobile=nc I address the contemporary status of guns in America. For all the cultural weight and mythology about firearms, the truth is that gun ownership has undergone a long and steady decline. Demographic shifts suggest that in the future, that decline will only continue and perhaps accelerate. And as contentious as the gun issue often appears, there is widespread agreement that gun ownership can and should be limited in various ways. Though a majority of Americans believe in a broad right to own guns, they also support universal background checks, permit requirements, and measures to keep guns out of the hands of potentially dangerous people.

  10. So speaking of guns.... I'll give up mine if the government will issue one of these to me. She's actually pretty fookin scary good in the second clip. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b8iOg57ZmIE Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.

  13. Well, than you seriously should not go anywhere on the Internet without a tracking blocker like the one Quade mentioned or Ghostery. etc... There's all kinds of "Internet training on tracking forum behaviors for marketing purposes. Remember when you used to get tons of trash in your mailbox because the marketers would sell each other their lists... Same thing.

    I have to steal this... thank you. You can thank Steven Wright http://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/authors/s/steven_wright.html Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.
  15. You mean the NRA. That HAS to be the most ludicrous position you've ever put forth. The NRA did not stand on a podium and say, we're going to outlaw rifles, guns, magazines, ammunition, etc. It was Obama and Feinstein's mouth going that drove up the prices. In fact, who do you think drove 250,000 NEW members to the NRA in one month. I think the NRA is wishing there were no term limits.

  16. Here's how they're doing... http://www.bloomberg.com/video/a-giant-floating-airship-could-be-future-of-flight-fwQl8D1ZSjWwx5lNNvHOvg.html?cmpid=taboola.video Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.
  17. Perhaps the laxative hit? Course that's a fucked up kind of running after a week of MRE's or BB. Kind of a clenched cheeks waddle sprint. Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.
  18. You can handle it. Good luck. Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.

  21. If you can open MS Paint. Select File (furthest left tab)\ Select - Open Pick the picture you want to use... On the "Home" tab there is an "Image" Tile which says, Select, resize, or crop. Pick resize. Set the percentage radio button... Try it at 75% first and do a File\Save As "filename75" Right click on the file and check the properties to see if its less than 150kb and you should be good to go Now you can play with it from here, but keep in mind that if you decide you want it at 50%, you'll need to go to the first pic and start over or you will get 50% of the 75%. If it's like 10 Mb directly from a camera, save it as a .jpg file first, then resize down from there. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UFl_rySMe5o Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.
