    How I would reboot the USA

    Spike hasn't even posted in this thread, why would you think I'd be talking to him? Anyway, the quote is what the politician would be saying, so the "you" in the quote would be part of what he says, so it would refer to the people he was addressing. By "property" do you mean real property...

    How I would reboot the USA

    So, what would you have happen? Would you have the USA become a true democracy? How much will it cost to have 300,000,000 people vote on every issue and decide every policy? Once you go representative, you will always have people in power doing what they want. I agree with you that this should...

    why so serious?

    Some photos from work Here are some pictures from work for you to enjoy. A supervisor did this. Part of the street outside a low-class nursing home in Baltimore City. Yes, we all refer to that place as "the fork in the road". One area nursing home actually coordinates the abuse...

    How I would reboot the USA

    I have no doubt that if the bulk of the power to govern was with the states then people like you would be complaining about how powerful the states are, how they try to run your lives and manage your business. Because we both know that if there's power to be had, somebody's going to want it, and...

    How I would reboot the USA

    Well, since I was talking about what I would do if I could, I guess that would hypothetically put me in power... And I can absolutely positively utterly totally completely entirely wholly fully thoroughly unconditionally unquestionably undeniably unequivocally and without reservation say you...

    How I would reboot the USA

    Like it or not, the USA is a federal nation, not a confederacy. There are some things the central government needs to do and be in charge of. For example, a a national set of performance and education standards for EMS providers would be great, so EMTs and Paramedics can perform the full scope...

    How I would reboot the USA

    Not quite toss it, no. As a software programmer might understand, sometimes when a program doesn't work quite right, you have to take out a lot of the old code and rewrite it from scratch. The intention isn't to come up with a completely new program that does something entirely different; the...

    How I would reboot the USA

    This reminds me of a very popular quote from the fire department: "200 years of tradition unhindered by progress."

    How I would reboot the USA

    Further to my last, some services would be realigned into more appropriate departments. For example, the education standards and curriculum for Emergency Medical Services providers are set by the Department of Transportation. EMS providers are healthcare providers, therefore it is more...

    How I would reboot the USA

    If I had the unlimited power and authority to restructure the USA, here are some of the things I would do. Some non-essential services would be funded entirely by fees and fines related to those services. For example, the ATF would be funded entirely by taxes on alcohol, tobacco, and firearms...

    Israel? Gaza? Hamas? Who? What? Where?

    OK, so let me get this straight. Gaza is an area between Egypt and Israel. It is inhabited by Palestinians. Israelis like to go there and live there and piss the Palestinians off because they think it's their right to do so. Hamas is the government of Gaza and they are now pissed off to the...

    Israel? Gaza? Hamas? Who? What? Where?

    OK... Let's pretend for a moment that I'm completely ignorant about the Middle East's problems in general, and I don't know why a lot of people over there don't seem to like a lot of the other people over there, and stuff like that. Being as factual and unopinionated as possible, try to...

    Web Browsers

    I was perfectly happy with IE6. I liked the tabs in IE7 but wasn't too thrilled with the way most of the rest of the interface was simplified/dumbed down. I like a menu bar with menus on it that you open up to access commands. That's what I'm used to. When I switched to Mac (because Microsoft's...

    Medevac Crash In Prince George's County Claims 4 Lives

    There are only about two dozen MSP Flight Paramedics. In the course of my work, I've met two of them. I have not yet found out the names of any of the victims, but I doubt that the one who died in this accident would be either of the two I've met, since this helicopter was based at Andrews...
