f**k Obama and His Mama in 08, its either Gravel, Paul, that cook Kucinich or any third party. The biparty $$$$$$ candidates are just that $$$$$$, Dirty money from a dirty system of a century of Psychobabble you've been fed to become a good consumer just like they want you to, voting for who they want you to. Follow the money.

For many decades before the Internet, we had this little thing called the "public domain." What's the point of this Creative Commons crap? It just makes things more complicated.Public Domain:Can be re-used in public domain projects, BSD projects, GPL projects, proprietary projects, Creative Commons BY projects, Creative Commons BY-NC projects, Creative Commons BY-NC-ND projects, and EVERYTHING ELSE.Creative Commons BY-SA:Can be re-used in Creative Commons BY-SA projects, AND NOTHING ELSE.Creative Commons BY-NC-SA:Can be re-used in Creative Commons BY-NC-SA projects, AND NOTHING ELSE.Creative Commons BY-NC-ND-SA:Can be re-used in Creative Commons BY-NC-ND-SA projects, AND NOTHING ELSE.How is that free? That's pointless. It has exactly the same purpose as the public domain, but doesn't work.Don't use Creative Commons. It's nice in spirit, but it makes no sense in reality (like socialism, the war on drugs, Don't Pump Gas on May 15, etc.).

"Do you really think the American public's gonna vote for him based on these facts?"As opposed to America re-electing a president because they aren't sure if the other candidate will do a good job with the f**ked up war in progress started by the president for re-election?I think the most accurate answer would have to be, I have no f**king idea.

i've liked obama from the start. this is another example that he's on the ball. i sincerely hope he gets the nomination. i don't buy the rote BS about him being un-electable. people should stop saying that and instead work to elect him. he's qualified. clinton is too bitter and hawkish. gore would be ideal.we shall see.

I think it's a great idea..... It would give some of the spotlight to the open source community and (hopefully) take some of the monopolization from Microsoft.<a class="user" href="http://aroundtheusa.webpal.info/index.php">http://aroundtheusa.webpal.info/index.php</a>
