They are doing it in the school district in town, and it is the model for the entire state. Again, you missed the point entirely of public vs. private opinion. I am not mixing up centuries, I was citing a prior case model of the environment that similarly typified the events leading up to the mass exile of the 17th through 20th centuries. Rome dropped the ball because they didn't give a rip. The pioneers said "You know what, we're tired of being serfs, we want to be me. Can't do that here, so let's go elsewhere." You can give any number of reasons, taxation, drafts, property ownership state-sponsored religious oppression, etc. Back to Rome. The so-called 'barbarians' realized "hey, we're not barbarians, lets make something of ourselves", much to the consternation of self-pious Rome. The barbarians had their homeland, and built great empire, then slacked off as had all the generations before them. The only thing we learn from history is that no one learns from history.

In socialism, you get assigned to be an engineer or a doctor, regardless of whether you are competant or interested, as it is the 'choice' of the state, not the serf.

There is a reason why so many were forced into exile or chose the stake instead. Gibbon's classic is not entitled "The modernization and rise of late Rome", it is entitled "the decline and fall of Rome." The reason I'm not manning the barricades or blowing up clinics is that the courts of the land have ruled that Abortion is legal, because of the disregard for the fundamental concept of life. If you go back and read Judge Blackmun's opinion in Roe v. Wade, he says that as the determination of what is life is far outside the court's ability to decide, that abortions should go on until they find out whether or not it really is 'life' they are killing. So in response I do what I can to influence people and support the legal process of the land to get the right people elected to correct the backwards confusion on the courts. For the statements made by the palestinians in the middle east those were from four months in Israel, the West Bank, Egypt, and Jordan in early 2000. They come from personal and private interviews and conversations with bus drivers, shopkeepers, imams, house wives, children, professors, and refugees. Furthermore, they do understand the difficulties they face, but the optimism of the hope they have in the American dream is what buoy's them up. In a recent interview with a US officer assisting in the formation of city councils across Iraq I heard this week, the officer said that one council member asked if the UN disqualifies Karzai in Afganistan, could he be on the ballot in Iraq. The point is they recognize their problems, grumble that we're helping them out, but are privately appreciative. I mentioned this before and elsewhere, but the tribal structure prevents them from saying publically what they feel privately.

You missed the entire point in the macro and micro cases. Black Americans too have rised up in the cause of liberty and died to be known as human beings. White Americans died at Antienam and Gettysburg so that Black Americans would legally be considered human beings. Go compare the histories of Jamestown vs Plymouth, then go read some books that chronicle the proceedings of the Constitutional Convention. Don't go for the philosophy stuff etc, look for the stuff that records the notes of Madison and others that explains that entire premise. On to life. Death penalty cases involve cases where criminals by deliberate and aggravated intent maliciously sought to destroy life for their own self interest. Their actions resulted in a legal forfeiture of their life in return. There is s clear consequence in either case, if the state instead chooses to comit the sentance to life, they are to some extent acknowledging and accepting the murderer's hedonistic worldview that the world revolves around him or her. As there is innumerable things that could be used to kill people, I suppose that you must be in the waste management business, as you could stand to gain a lot of money by disposing of every last item in the world in a effort to purge it of potential murder weapons. The problem is that no matter how much stuff you throw away into the trash or ban, that still is not lifting one finger to acknowledge or remove murderous intent out of people's hearts. Socialism != democracy, as I metioned previously. You either have personal accountibiliy and responsibility, or you have the nanny state where your life is decided for you. You can't have it both ways. In reality, you can not refuse or ignore the direct consequences of your actions, no matter how hard you try. As for the charges of conspiracy in Armies of the Americas training and such, I highly doubt that we are the experts in torture and subversion. The Bush administration has rightfully expressed concern over Putin's recent announcements of consolidation, but it remains to be seen what the actual outcome will be. The charges of supression of the left are two-part. First is the acountibility part. First, where the socialists are engaged in subversion and sedition, the legal response is appropiately criminally harsh. You're protected for free speech, you are not protected to war against the police and duely appointed officers of the land. Second, state socialism makes personal liberty and individual choice a crime of most significant prominence against the state. When President Reagan spoke in Berlin, there was supposed to be a large impromptu crowd on the east side of the fence. When he spoke though, they were not there, having been driven back at gunpoint rather than have the opportunity to choose to listen to something they may or may not choose to agree with.

Editorial written by professor Mathew Manweller of Central Washington University's PoliSci department for the Ellensburg Daily Record Oct. 6th, 2004. Serfs vs. Pioneers. We left or were kicked out of old Europe and Asia because as Americans we refused to accept the notion that we were to be serfs and dictated to. That is why the quaint notion of liberty and freedom is such an alien concept to you. We call your attention what still remain as the God-given human rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. John Kerry does not support any of these. John Kerry does not support life. In arbitrally picking and choosing what is and isn't life and who deserves it based on passing whims of convienence and political expediency, he denegrates all life. This arbitrary selection, whether abortion in the beginning or euthansia in the end deliberately attacks the idea that life is good, and should be valued, and not discarded lightly as a prison or bundle of excess tissue. John Kerry does not support liberty. By ignoring the former soviet republics and soviet sattelites that have pledged their lives in defense of those freedoms so new to them, and by trampling on the dreams of those repressed masses throughout the middle east - who up until the proclivities of Bill Clinton dreamed of sending their children to our shores as students, not bombers - and by despising the cause of liberty in the very theater of combat he once served in, he has proven that he neither values nor respects liberty. John Kerry does not support the pursuit of happiness. To pursue something is to be activiely engaged in seeking of your own volition. The liberal nanny-state mentality says that the citizen is only a mindless serf to be managed because they are not capable of making informed choices. This constant brainwashing, instead of designing to fix the problem and give opportunity to make choices and choose your own destiny, instead incarcerates generations in the psychological prisons of subserviance. John Kerry boldy stands for the antithesis of all the American values, the principles on which this country was founded. If you wish to attack those principles in the interest of feeding your hedonistic world-views, that is your choice for citizens legally registered to vote. But bear in mind that choices do come with unavoidable consequences, and you may not be able to dictate what effect those consequences will have on you.

Sweet, Bush was only at 270 last week. Roll on!

The Cheney's were rightfully indignant because the entire premise of Kerry's point was Kerry's liberal philosophy of the nanny-state to impound personal responsibility. In commenting on their family relations, Kerry was effectively saying "I know your family better than you do, and how to manage your family better than you do." Of course the Cheney's were offended, any sane person would. Any way, speaking of skeletons in the closet, now this printed in the NY Sun: Any UCMJ scholars in the crowd?

terraserver has some stuff.

An all too familiar tune. I'm no good at book smarts, I'm lucky IT/IS stuff comes intuitively. Less critically of course, I've seen similar thinking patterns in business. My very first real job ever was doing patch testing for a product pretty much only used by fortune 50 companies, and it was the one product the vendor made that I had absolutely no experience in. Then they double loaded me with a emergency patch validation cycle that I was the exclusive sign-off for the entire vendor on, I don't have any idea how many tens of billions of dollars flow through that product. Stress? you don't have time for that in the field, so take care of your self and make sure you do get some quality downtime. So, what were some things you wished you had and didn't and things you really didn't need? Also, did you get a chance to get out much or was that pretty much restricted to mission operations?

Never fried one yet, and we're going to be out of town anyway. Sorry. Were the problems you observed incident to the unique nature and environment of combat medicine, or was it more indicative of a general lack of creative perspective? I presume that while you train and prep and repeat, a lot of what you do on the ground, especially in immediate response is to some extent on-the-fly given the random chance for any sort of situation. Does your employer do 'chaos' training, ie toss out totally random scenarios instantly to test your creative response? Way back in Boy Scout days the very first merit badge I got was first aid. Our instructor, an EMT, was a new scout leader and had never taught first aid before. He taught us out of his EMT handbook, then quized us on response methods based on the trauma identification pictures in the back. Not something to show the little kids. Anyway, we learned it so well that we regularly won all the first aid competitions at scout events around the Seattle area in the early 90's by such huge margins in time and precision that we could afford to slack off in the other events. Nothing as crazy as what you've been up to though.

Meanwhile, Swift Vets and POW's for Truth have released not one but two ads including former shipmates of Komrade Kerry and furthermore the presence of a widely respected Medal of Honor recipient Bud Day among four other former POW's and a pile of other vietnam veterans: These two ads are real dynamite, expect to see them this weekend on the tube.

I'm not so certain about this. There seems to be visual occulsion on certain things that should be transparent, ie 'invisible' stuff not seen through windows. I think that this is CPU processed, just not displayed on the screen because it's not sent properly to the video card. Don't know for sure, just a hunch though.

Heh. Go read Michelle Malkin. This is old hat, but since it is also the means by which mexicans are encouraged by their government to infiltrate the US as well we're not supposed to talk about it to avoid offending them.

No, I'm just saying some are bin'd, and some are not. I haven't run enough tests to see what the pattern is. The theories I'm going to test include checking all three BIS campaigns, the BIS MP missions, the BIS SP missions, as well as a sampling of the 3rd party missions I have, and samples generated by the mission editor and pbo'd by it, and not an external tool. When I have results, I will post the summary.

Hey, we actually kinda agree on something here... how is that possible... The groupthink though is starting to impact the fishwraps though. Looking at the regional paper, far too many stories are just copied and pasted verbatim from AP, rather than from other interesting sources. That's what I like about the OT forum here, 30sec's after anything happens worldwide we have posts from AP, Reuters, Skynet, Pravda, Xinhua, Crawford Oil Trader, Boston Yachting Magazine, and commented on by hordes of us denizens who may or may not actually have credibility to be real pundits.

Well if you want to know why Bush dislikes wasting his and the citizen's time with the press, go read any number of transcripts from www.whitehouse.gov. Read the whole litany of uninformed, off-topic, and other-wise politically leading questions, and bear in mind that most of the debate questions that you accuse him of ignoring were in fact loaded baiting questions designed to rig a lose-lose situation for him.

So you plan on moving and working. I suppose you've also checked into the immigrations laws and such so you can work there legally, or do you plan to renounce your US citizenship and plead political asylum? That would make things easier... If you're looking for dope, Vancouver is the place to be. That's the primary point of entry for hard stuff from Asia and bc bud for the US west coast, so reducing the number of middle men will result in lower costs to the consumer. If you wish to walk around town looking like a billboard for a walking laundry pile, you can do your shopping online, but bere in mind that you may get hit with import taxes and other different tax structures. Some of the roads near the borders are marked in KM and MPH, I don't know about the rest of the place. Outside of Vancouver and such though, western Canada runs a lot more conservative than eastern Canada, so you may want to look east. Regardless of which side you flee to, remember it gets cold in the winter, and the sun sets a lot earlier too. It can affect the mood swings of some people, and coming from Arizona may be a bit rough. There's cold, then there's ex-girlfriend cold, then theres "good gosh almighty, all Canada's froze over"-cold.

If you open the BIS missions with PBOx, the mission.sqm files are compressed and binarized. Other third-party missions may not be binarized, so they will preview and extract properly.

d'oh, missed this one. They're in Duluth, Minnesota too:

While you're at it, contact your local elections office to verify that you are not the victim of Identify Fraud and have been illegally registered to vote multiple times and in multiple precincts by paid agents of liberal action groups. Bulk registrations in Denver Avalanche of dubious registrations in Berks co. Penn. So they had no idea they were being scammed well over the Dade County 2000 margins until they read it in the daily fishwrap... Investigations in Florida

Hey, welcome back. Glad to hear you're still alive and kicking. Best wishes that you'll make Thanksgiving this year.

If you are getting mission.sqm corruption, it is because the mission.sqm files are getting decompressed, they just happen to be binarized as well. You can dump them currently using the BinView tool from COC, or wait for the next edition of PBOx. The dll's are available in either the ODOLex package or the WRPtool package, both available here.

Bill Virgin, senior Business reporter for the openly left of center Seattle PI has this to say:

Anybody have DEM's and TIFF overlays for Gaza? This is just the right size, then we can show everybody just how small it really is.

PBOx uses the same support dll's as ODOLex and all the other components of the WRPtool package. These dll's from the Borland development package are optimized for the more robust and stable memory manager in Windows NT-based systems including NT, 2K, and XP. Because of memory manager coding differences, using PBOx, ODOLex, or WRPtool on Windows 9X or ME is unsupported and will be unstable. So far we have had reports of intermittent errors on ME, but the tool has still been relatively useful to the user. Due to this structure, the WRPtool team will only be able to support issues that are reproducable on NT, 2K, or XP based systems at this time. Thank you.
