That's like saying that nobody in the primary elects anyone. Superdelegates came close to nominating Hillary over Obama.

their vote has the same value as any other. Their opinion may have more value - may influence other voters's choices, but the vote remains the same. The cost of not voting is the same - the loss of the right to bitch and moan about the results. Get setup for absentee voting and avoid that problem going forward (yeah, I get hit by it a couple times in the 90s). On a national election, the significance of the lost vote is likely nil. But you also vote for local elections at the same time, and I've seen a few mayoral elections come down to 10 or fewer votes (and this is for a town of 100k). So one vote there = 10% of a decision. ehhh, no. Superdelegates can overrule the vote of the people in the primaries. You're not voting for your candidate in the primaries. You're voting for delegates which can then vote however they want (in most cases). Their votes are most definitely worth more than yours. I was under the impression that the superdelegates had to vote their constituency - is that not the case? A few states have laws that dictate that delegates must vote how their constituency voted, but for the most part delegates can vote differently if they choose to. Superdelegates can vote however they so desire. Superdelegates are more a function of the DNC. On the republican side, there was actually a powerful movement trying to get delegates to switch their support to Ron Paul at the convention. Of course it failed. Still though, your primary vote is generally actually a vote to send a delegate that has pledged to vote the way you wish to the convention.

What all do you want to do? If it's just replacing the speakers all you need to do is get a speaker with the correct resistance rating. If it hasn't wore off there should be an ohms rating on the back of the speakers. If it's wore off you'll need a multi meter.

Get my A, B, and complete enough jumps, as well as acquire enough skills to take a first flight course.

There is no Jihad? LOL. Take off your blinders.

maybe they should try and do more as a community to fight the muslim terrorist problem. Sorry, but it's a simple fact that islam is the largest and most vocal supporter of terrorist acts across our planet. The only people that can change that are the muslims, and by and large they aren't making much of an attempt to do that.

LOL http://www.infidels.org/library/modern/jim_meritt/bible-contradictions.html Here are a few: How many stalls and horsemen? 1KI 4:26 And Solomon had forty thousand stalls of horses for his chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen. 2CH 9:25 And Solomon had four thousand stalls for horses and chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen; whom he bestowed in the chariot cities, and with the king at Jerusalem. The sins of the father ISA 14:21 Prepare slaughter for his children for the iniquity of their fathers; that they do not rise, nor possess the land, nor fill the face of the world with cities. DEU 24:16 The fathers shall not be put to death for the children, neither shall the children be put to death for the fathers: every man shall be put to death for his own sin. Jesus' last words MAT 27:46,50: "And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, "Eli, eli, lama sabachthani?" that is to say, "My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?" ...Jesus, when he cried again with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost." LUK 23:46: "And when Jesus had cried with a loud voice, he said, "Father, unto thy hands I commend my spirit:" and having said thus, he gave up the ghost." JOH 19:30: "When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, "It is finished:" and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost."

Well you are right about that , Belgian Draft. Infact I contend that all governments abhor Freedom. The whole party thing is just a tool implemented to divide "We the People" Fair Winds and Unlimited Ceilings through Enlightenment and Understanding, "Treetop" a.k.a. LORD OF THE SKY So if he's right you must be wrong. logic FAIL

Would you answer "yes" if someone asked you if you had had sex with someone that only gave you a blowjob? I sure wouldn't, and I'm not a kid by any stretch. How many people have you had sex with? Does your number include everyone you've had oral sex with? I think that the common response to this is how many people you have had actual sex (i.e. vaginal penetration with a penis) with.

You do have the option of not posting here. Thanks Kallend.

No, the new york times says that end of life counseling plans, which right wingers incorrectly labeled death panels, will be enacted. How is a doctor advising a patient on their various options a "death panel"? It's not unless your favorite activity is tea bagging.

Scientists can lie just as well as Christians. Just look at global warming. However, truth is supposed to be the basis for science, unlike the basis for religion, which is faith.

A lie does not negate the definition of the word.

Truth is verifiable. Or, more accurately, truth is a fact that has been verified. http://wordnetweb.princeton.edu/perl/webwn?s=truth

Truth? LOL. It's your belief, it is not truth.

Sure I made the choice. But, in reality, there was no choice. Either go further in debt than i already was from my own business or sell. I did not inherit 3.5 million. The true amount, after selling at auction and paying taxes, was barely a third of that. It was, thankfully, enough to pay off my house and my own business debt. Answer me this: How would YOU feel if somebody forced you through economic penalties to forfeit 2/3 of what you and your father had spent decades building by working your ass off 24/7? I would have been pissed at myself for not structuring the ownership of the business in such a way that I didn't get burned in the case of my fathers passing. I understand and agree that there are a few situations where the inheritance tax doesn't seem "fair", but they are far and few between. Personally, I think it's good that we have a system that doesn't create generational wealth disparity. I like that we live in a country where there isn't a class of ultra wealthy that live off of their families fortunes without paying taxes. It would seem wrong to me if we had a class of people living off inherited money and a system supported by those of us that work for a living.

Perhaps you should not let wealth envy blind you...re-read his post... Those assets. What happened to them? Just melted down for scrap? Of course not. They were used by other workers that were either retained or hired to run them. 9 people may have lost their jobs, but that does not mean there was a net loss of 9 jobs. I do not have wealth envy, and I am far from blind.

so you weren't forced to sell the business, you chose to. If the business was purchased then jobs were created or retained to offset the jobs that were lost, right? So you inherited 3.5 million tax free dollars, and we're supposed to feel sorry for you, because you chose to sell the business? Hmm, o.k.

First off it must have been a pretty decent sized business if the taxation on any equity over 3.5 million forced you to sell. Secondly, it must not have been a very profitable business if you weren't able to get financing to cover the taxes on the equity over 3.5 million.

This may or may not be true, we have no proof either way. All we have to go by is our personal experiences. Personally, I believe that spirituality is an evolutionary tool created by our own minds to make life more live-able. Can't be certain though.

It's not even a spiritual work for the most part. Religion is not spirituality.

Spiritual growth does not necessarily have anything to do with a "god".

If I get a 4 million dollar bonus should I have to pay taxes on it? Why is it any different if I get that bonus from a deceased family member? Those arguing against an inheritance tax are arguing from an emotional standpoint, not a logical one. As far as the hypothetical losing the family farm, it's pretty much nonsense. I know though, facts are inconvenient.http://www.cbpp.org/cms/index.cfm?fa=view&id=3223

Merry Christmas to you as well. See, I said it! You are correct about the overlay of various customs, which is why I cringe when people like Ron try to shove their particular customs down my throat.
