A little boy goes to his dad and asks, "What is Politics?"
Dad says, "Well son, let me try to explain it this way: I am the head of the family, so call me The President.
Your mother is the administrator of the money, so we call her The Government.
We are here to take care of your needs, so we will call you The People.
The nanny, we will consider her The Working Class.
And your baby brother, we will call him The Future.
Now think about that and see if it makes sense.
So the little boy goes off to bed thinking about what Dad has said.
Later that night, he hears his baby brother crying, so he gets up to check on him. He finds that the baby has severely soiled his diaper.
So the little boy goes to his parent's room and finds his mother sound asleep.
Not wanting to wake her, he goes to the nanny's room. Finding the door locked, he peeks in the keyhole and sees his father in bed with the nanny. He gives up and goes back to bed.
The next morning, the little boy say's to his father, "Dad, I think I understand the concept of politics now,"
The father says, "Great son! Tell me in your own words what you think politics is all about."
The little boy replies, "The President is screwing The Working Class while The Government is sound asleep. The People are being ignored and The Future is in deep shit."

WILL JOHN KERRY WIN?
Article taken From Dillion Precision
http://dillonprecision.com/rl1050.cfm?dyn=1&
WILL JOHN KERRY WIN?
ONLY IF WE LET HIM!
(Note: Four years ago, prior to the 2000 presidential election, I wrote a cautionary Blue Press article, the very title of which offended a number of our gentle readers. This year, I have resolved to avoid using "potty language" in describing the anti-gun candidate, his adherents and those gun owners who may unwittingly contribute to his victory. I can only hope that this exercise in forbearance will be as effective as my earlier, less compassionate approach.)
I've talked to a number of gun owners recently, all intelligent gentlemen who should know better, who said they were either not going to vote in the upcoming presidential election, or would vote for some protest candidate. Their reason? Apparently, George W. Bush had taken a position they didn't like, be it on immigration, Iraq or whatever, and they were going to teach him a lesson.
This is a wonderful example of cutting off the old schnozzola in order to spite one's face. Let's make this very simple: any vote that does not go to Bush, automatically is a vote for John Kerry. And a vote for John Kerry is, whether you like it or not, a vote to flush our Second Amendment rights down the toilet. Yes, I know that Kerry made a big deal out of having himself photographed hunting upland game. But, that photo op aside, let's look at the record. John Kerry's record on gun rights is, unlike the rest of his voting record, amazingly consistent. He has received a 100% rating from the Brady Campaign (HCI) and from the Coalition to Stop Gun Violence. He has voted against protecting firearms manufacturers against junk lawsuits. He has proclaimed his support for the renewal of the Brady Act, the hi-cap magazine ban and a ban on so-called assault weapons. Is Kerry pro-hunting? He has received a 100% rating from both the Humane Society of the United States and the Fund for Animals. Neither of these organizations consider hunting as a worthwhile, legal or moral pursuit. Kerry has even managed to surpass his mentor, Ted Kennedy, in anti-gun votes. In fact, when he was on the campaign trail, he made the effort to return to Washington just to cast votes inimical to American gun owners and firearms manufacturers.
So, what's the big deal if Kerry actually does become President? Many say that he could easily be over-ridden by a Republican-dominated Senate and/or House. That is, assuming that the Republicans will have control of either or both bodies after this election. But most important, as President, Kerry would have the opportunity to put up his favorite people for Supreme Court positions, vacancies that might likely occur soon, since several Justices are getting on in years or failing in health. And who might Kerry's choices be? Well, one name that immediately comes to mind is that of Hillary Clinton aka The Smartest Woman in the World. Another likely choice is the other Senator from New York, Charles Schumer. Want more delightful possibilities? How about Dianne Feinstein and Mr. Wonderful himself, Ted Kennedy? Imagine a Supreme Court vote on Second Amendment rights with one or several of those deep thinkers on the high bench. How long do you suppose it would be before your Remington 870 is banned as an "assault weapon," or your scoped Ruger M77 MKII Varmint/Target as a "sniper rifle?" As for your handguns..really now, why would you want to endanger your family and neighbors by owning one of those?
Having observed the defeat that American gun owners handed to Al Gore in 2000, today's anti-gun politicians are taking a different line. They insist that they will stand up for your rights under the Second Amendment. This of course refers to their interpretation of your rights under the Second Amendment, which means whatever bones the lawmakers are disposed to throw to you. They will claim, as does Senator Kerry, to be hunters. The question is, are they hunters when the cameras aren't rolling? Liberal politicians do not believe that lying is in itself a bad thing, as long as the ultimate end is what they perceive as good.
For the American gun owner who wants to remain a gun owner, there is one, and only one criterion for judging a candidate, presidential or other. That is, "Will this candidate stand up for my right to self-defense?" If the candidate does not trust you with the tools of self-defense, be it a so-called assault rifle, handgun, rifle, shotgun or whatever, that candidate essentially does not acknowledge your right to live. Without the unencumbered right to keep and bear arms, you are not truly a free person or a citizen; you are a subject, serf or slave.
America's freedom was won with guns. Today, America's gun owners are the last bastion of freedom in a ever more regulated, monitored and repressive world order. We have seen the chaos that the United Nations' world view has brought to this suffering planet. John Kerry sees nothing wrong with an America under U.N. rule. It is only our inactivity that will allow him to succeed.

Well, Another Day has passed
Well, day after my birthday :/
as normal was pretty much another day for me, I did get to the range, which is always fun, let's me hear loud booms and work on my marksmanship, which is ALWAYS a good thing, if you own a firearm, you should practice with it so you can hit what you are aiming at not something totally different, only safe way to own one in my opinion. Well just wanted to jot a few thoughts down, better be off, maybe I can find a lead on a new job, since the FBI is still dragging there heels and not figuring out I am no threat to anyone, but that is for
my rant

Well, as I get thing ready to head down to Austin, I am still waiting to hear from the FBI as to this silly investigation I am dealing with :/ ahh well my humor gets me in trouble again, should be used to people not gettin my dark sense of humor by now. Ohh well, gettin out of town should do me some good, always nice to get out of town for a few days, and the fact that I am going to be making some money while I am down there is good as wel. Also hope to trade ownership of my XD to another so that I might purchase a better home defense/CCW weapon. My days are short since I cannot seem to stay awake during the day, yet I am bored stiff at night, but cannot sleep. Damn being a vampire has it's draw backs.

So True
Congratulations! You have purchased an extremely fine device that would give you thousands of years of trouble-free service, except that you undoubtably will destroy it via some typical bonehead consumer maneuver.
Which is why we ask you to PLEASE FOR GOD'S SAKE READ THIS OWNER'S MANUAL CAREFULLY BEFORE YOU UNPACK THE DEVICE. YOU ALREADY UNPACKED IT, DIDN'T YOU? YOU UNPACKED IT AND PLUGGED IT IN AND TURNED IT ON AND FIDDLED WITH THE KNOBS, AND NOW YOUR CHILD, THE SAME CHILD WHO ONCE SHOVED A POLISH SAUSAGE INTO YOUR VIDEOCASSETTE RECORDER AND SET IT ON "FAST FORWARD", THIS CHILD ALSO IS FIDDLING WITH THE KNOBS, RIGHT? AND YOU'RE JUST NOW STARTING TO READ THE INSTRUCTIONS, RIGHT??? WE MIGHT AS WELL JUST BREAK THESE DEVICES RIGHT AT THE FACTORY BEFORE WE SHIP THEM OUT, YOU KNOW THAT?

More Thoughts on XP SP2
well it certainly is nice having an out of box firewall that works.
I still like the functionality of ZoneAlarm, and the ease of configuration.
Granted this is a HUGE step forward for MS in the security field.
Something that actually blocks programs from accessing the network, BY DEFAULT and I like the new pop up blocking, finally something good in IE's favor.
I will still use Mozilla thou for my browsing, I am very much addicted to the Tabbed Browsing and plug-ins that are out there for Mozilla and it's kin.
and low and behold they seem to have gotten a wifi manager that works.
the old one always lost connection to my APs whenever they say the ping from a second AP. Most frustrating let me tell you. I started using Boingo just to keep an active WiFi connection :|, course that was before I went with ABG APs and Proxim ABG cards in the laptops, the Proxim client is great. having all the profiles for wherever you happen to be or go is EXTREMELY nice, no reconfiguring when you get home after you have been at wrok, or out in public at a hotspot.
Well enough babbling for now

First Day thoughts
Well, the System Seems to be running balls out, just getting the main
apps I need loaded so far. I will say Tune-Up Utilities 2004 work
fairly well to tune your system easily. Office 03 is going to be a
bear thou, 5 bloody discs man, it's insane. Hopefully this thing
doesn't tank soon after I get it all loaded :/. Still have to get in
to the firewall and see how it will behave, I am thinking it is going
to be a lot of manual tweaking. unlike ZA which is fairly straight
forward and simple, asks simple questions and click simple answers.

First Thoughts
Well, the main machine is back up and running nicely so far, just installed Win XP SP2, and have my browser loaded back, even updated I cannot bring myself to use IE anymore than I have to, baka Micro$oft and not allowing to kill it, and also even thou it says you are unistalling messenger from the add/remove programs, don't believe a word they say, it is still there and will still launch, again baka Miro$oft.
At least they did get the firewall somewhat more up to snuff, will know more as I have more and more programs accessing the net and have to tailor it to fit me. Will hold off on installing my standard ZA first thing, HI HI
Well back to the software grind
================================
The average person spends their life avoiding intense situations,
