Don't Vote (Unless you live in Florida or Ohio) (Election08 Talk Post)
I could see in some states it being all but impossible to hope to influence the way the state votes. However I wouldn't say that one person can't make a huge difference. Try telling that to Che Guevara, Martin Luther, Malcolm X, or Benjamin Franklin. Status Quo on a large scale doesn't change overnight. Voting is a way of supporting something (or someone) you believe in. To not say anything is worse then being the sole voice of opposition.

Sweet, thanks for letting me know. I haven't been around the sift much because I started my own business a couple of months ago, while still working my other job. It's put a lot of strain on my time. So hopefully when I'm able to shift my main source of income to my company I'll be able to have some free time.

Don't wish to disturb your slumber, your purpleness, but there's a complete episode of MST3K that's been posted, "Manos, The Hands Of Fate."

I know you're a fan of the show, so I felt a heads-up was appropriate. So please don't hurt me.

Thanks for the thought. Actually I've started up my own company while still working my old job. So it's become a great demand on my time. I'd love to be sifting as much as the good ol days but my spare time has been in real short supply lately. One o these days I'll get back into the swing of things. Just as soon as I can drop one of my jobs for the other.

What's happened to ya, Gorgon? Dead or something? Seems a bit strange asking you if you're dead, but after all there's zombies-a-plenty here at videosift.

October surprise??!! (Election08 Talk Post)
So is there any reputable news source for this? I couldn't find anything in a search and the newspaper and TV media have nothing to say on it. It honestly sounds like a solo anti-government alarmist blip. But if anyone can confirm this story other then the short paragraph on one anti-establishment web site I'd be interested in reading it.

Libertarians for Obama? (Blog Entry by NetRunner)
Obama wants to increase government spending on so many fronts it's unrealistic of him to think he can support all these socialist welfare programs. This would increase taxes and government involvement in the public's financial lives.

The libertarians want to minimalize government involvement, not increase it.

The libertarians want to lower taxes and have the government regulate it's spending rather then raising taxes.

Quite frankly as a borderline libertarian myself, Barack Obama's record speaks louder then his double talk. And he does not have much in common with libertarians. Especially when it comes to economic matters which he understands only enough to give both sides what they want. Which is impossible.
