You're still alive dude?
War is an option whose time has passed. Peace is the only option for the future. At present we occupy a treacherous no-man's-land between peace and war, a time of growing fear that our military might has expanded beyond our capacity to control it and our political differences widened beyond our ability to bridge them. . . .

Short of changing human nature, therefore, the only way to achieve a practical, livable peace in a world of competing nations is to take the profit out of war.
--RICHARD M. NIXON, "REAL PEACE" (1983)

"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired, represents, in the final analysis, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, who are cold and are not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children."

Yea I'm still alive.
I'm primarily writing programs for a pipeline control room nowadays.
Ironic that I would end up working for an *evil* oil company no?
I have 2 kiddos now and a wife who does not understand gaming.

So... that equates to about 4 hours a month to sit down and actually play something, preferably something that has a pause button.

I miss online gaming, I just don't see how I can fit in anymore.

They've picky web monitoring at work, so I can't leave VV running at work like I used to.

I miss you guys, I wish could figure out a way to stay logged in more often.

Lots of ripe topics haggle over considering Mr. Obama's time in office.

You know there is one thing that I would have never expected.

Conservative judicial activism on the supreme court?

What an 180. I guess now progressive types know how annoying it is to work hard for a law and have it thrown out.

The politicizing of the Supreme Court is really a sad state of affairs. Pretty much every case that benefits big business (and Republican policies) ends up with a 5-4 ruling. Funny how that works.

As for VV at work... Just use VPN to remote to your home computer and web browse from there!

They're only "activist judges" when they disagree with your views on policy. If they agree with your views they are "vanguards of the constitution". The Supreme Court has become as politicized and divided as every other part of the cluster-fuck we call the US government.

Anywhoozle, welcome back. :lol:

Maybe. Personally I feel it's never been as .. not even sure the word.. blatant maybe..as it currently is. Ever since the Citizens v United timeframe.

Basically I don't agree with your assessment to be honest. It doesn't really come down to them agreeing with my views or not.

Wasn't meant to be directed at you. Just in general that's how people seem to view the court.

Did you see were P. Obama got on stage and lectured the Supreme Court as to what their role should be?

I don't think that was smart.
Those guys are untouchable and probably have big egos.

Amateur move?

Untouchable? You're not aware we've started assassinating America citizens?

Good to talk to you again Kyo. Its reassuring to know that some good memories thought lost can be repainted from time to time. I hope you're doing well, and I hope you find some comfort in knowing that my wife keeps my potential numbnutteries in check.

numbnutteries
That is going into the word bank, snuggled, spoon-style, with asshattery and tomfoolery.
