"He who warned, uh, the British that they weren't going to be taking away our arms uh by ringing those bells and making sure as he's riding his horse through town to send those warning shots and bells that we were going to be secure and we were going to be free and we were going to be armed." -- Sarah Palin
This is embarrassing. Even to me. As an American, as a woman, as a human being.
How can it possibly be that even one person in this country considers this person qualified for the presidency.
My Note:
This tops how a few weeks ago, Michelle Bachman came in New Hampshire and announced that the revolution started in Lexington and Concord (NH). Good going Sarah.
I can't view embedded graphics; for about a year I haven't been able to view them. It is purposeful for me. All I need is a plain ASCII text link to understand your perspective. Otherwise, it all goes down the bit bucket unless I choose to take time to find the link in the first place.
I have sped up my viewing by this approach, particularly for all those cretins that choose to post pictures as opposed to reasonable discussions. It also ensures that some websites can't evaluate my accesses automatically.
Just post ASCII text links, forget all the hotlink stuff, too.
Well Buck, most of what I do online is like that too. In fact, I even use a different computer to do posting (or gaming) because this is all I( need Windows for. Linux is much more secure and I prefer it.
I post here with the lurker in mind too. So, apologies for the fluff content. Usually I keep that to a dull roar anyway.
In any event, it's not like management here runs a tight ship anyway, yes?
I am not concerned about any management. I am annoyed by all the graphics and hotlinks that rarely work for me. All this razzle-dazzle stuff might be impressive to lamers but it slows down my network for no reason.
So, I adopted an entirely different approach to the Internet. No graphics and the speed is phenomenal irrespective of the OS. Your own redundant graphics used in your graphic tagline are removed, too.
All I want to view are comments; all I want to see is discussion.
"All I want to view are comments; all I want to see is discussion."
I am a student of people like Marshall McLuhan and understand that the cool medium of print has lost some of it's impact as a means of communication in this age of 'hot' mediums like the computer, TV and the cinema.
Sometimes an embedded feature like a video or a graphic causes one to have a flash of intuition they would of missed if they were a lazy reader who does not take their time to make sure they understand what they have just read.
We are an impatient culture of lazy readers. I post with that in mind. But thanks for your feedback too. As naturally I prefer discussion.
I would point out to that the best foundation for a serious discussion is a well managed forum run in a fair and consistent manner, which is not what Stone's place is.
