in Fred Reed on the Election on Technosailor
Excellent point Aaron, but I never thought our plan was an indefinate occupation like we did for Germany, or Japan.
Of course our being their has caused the insurgency to "fight harder" but al-Zarqawi isn't upset that we're there. He's upset that the Sunni won't have the majority and that Iraqi's will have a voice for a more Democratic process. (tho i'd prefer a republic process)
Freedom is what's at stake, and while I'm not a Pro-War advocate, I do think our exit strategy largely lies with the Iraqi's. If after their election they say "Get out, we got this", then that's what we do.

What's the difference between a CGFM and a CPA? Is it that a CGFM is the guy who is authorize to play with the governments money and a CPA just rapes the average taxpayer? LOL

Patrick sums it up pretty well with 1 exception. I don't think getting a Linux cert is a bad idea. There are plenty of companies looking for people with linux/unix experience for some of their server work. I have encountered it myself. I have alot of certs in SCM, which is key if you want to work with development, but I am going for my CCNA and CCDA this fall.
Either way you look at it however, getting a cert in any field is better than not getting one at all.

The smaller fish always get eaten by the bigger fish. Then, if we are to believe in the power of Darwin's evolution theory (inserted to cause grief and frustration among pro-evolutionists) The digested smaller guy is "released" back into the world and transforms itself from bodily waste to heavy handed competition! I.E. Bigger fish.
Follow that one? LOL Just a half baked theory ;)

I looked at pinpoint and tried it to check for flights all over the US atleast, and I loved it enough to bookmark it for future use. I have seen it beat out even Orbitz but was surprised to see that it didn't cover expedia. MS is "prolly" trying to corner the market in the travel biz too? LOL

in Bush’s Exaggerations Continue… on Technosailor
Aaron -
While I am glad to see you're reading my site, I will hardly disagree with you about Bush being a fiscal liberal. Heck, in lieu of his lack of effort for the war on terror (which he lobbied the country to ease pissed off Americans post 9/11) I would consider him a security liberal too. He may not look at Iraq and Afghanistan as a Law Enforcement issue as it relates to terrorism, but I think it's rather ironic that he looks at our Border Security in the same light that John Kerry does. To me, that's pretty terrifying.
You aren't going to see me look at Bush as some fiscal conservative. He never has been. So I think we agree on this level too :)

in Stunning Lack of Support From My Senator (A “Republican”) on Technosailor
Go ahead and get warmed up Aaron, I won't worry, I never suggested America as the supporting country because incase you haven't been reading my blog, Bush will never support an uprising.
As for mentioning a revolt, for you to assume I inferred it as some non-chalant whimsy answer to a complicated problem is ridiculous and quite frankly inserts words into my mouth which is absolutely crazy.
So rather than revolt, or suggesting that the Mexicans need to change their government from within you advocate illegal immigration as the defacto solution to their problems?
How's that for putting words into your mouth?
Your premise is nuts. Hurry up with your "wisdom" i'm all "ears"

Hi Maureen, I first want to thank you for responding. Secondly, before I get to my counter point I want to interject a little humor in here by saying "What's wrong with sitting at home eating tacos with your feet up"? I love mexican food (tho the history of the taco can be debated later). :)
Now, Here is what my problem has been with illegals, illegal immigration, as it pertains to our border security, and the betterment of the latino race:
1) You made this point: in most cases, these people are fleeing abject poverty and starvation, rampant military oppression, guerilla warfare - have you ever been to mexico? they live in huts with no electricity and this is the 21st century!
I have seen how they live in Mexico, and I know it's not any way I would want to live but ask yourself if that is my fault or the fault of my fellow countrymen and women? The answer is resoundingly NO. No because why haven't the mexican citizens revolted for better living conditions than what they have? Better wages, better housing? Instead, they would rather violate our laws and security and if we oppose it we are called racists or vigilantes? (Not saying that's what you are calling us).
2)You then said this: The terrorists of 9/11 were not illegal immigrants. And they do not get these things Carte Blanche - most of the illegals that I know have 2 or 3 jobs and work themselves to the bone. They get poor treatment and grossly substandard wages.
A Latino did not hijack a plane and fly it into a building, you are 100% correct, but what you fail to see is that the free flow of illegals across our borders has not solely been Mexican. They have also been Syrians, Pakistani, Iraqi, Lebonese, etc. That plus the fact that illegals are crossing over is alarming and a National Security epidemic. As for illegals not sucking up welfare here in the US is a blatant lie. The pregnant ones cross over specifically to have their babies here and their babies are given welfare, housing assistance, and many other benefits, it is why Arizona citizens passed Proposition 200 to ban illegals from gaining free access to welfare.
3) You Said: If you want to see pple milking the system then look at the americans who live off of welfare who are perfectly capable of working but choose not to and have handfuls of kids also living off of welfare. Let’s go even further with this… how do you fill all of your service industry jobs when the common american is well-educated and looking for white-collar jobs. Are you going to clean toilets? Hispanics are hard working enterprising people.
For an American to live off the welfare system is sad, but it is our right to do so because we live here legally. Not everyone on welfare bilks it for all it's worth and simply needs it to crutch a particular hardship in life, that I see nothing wrong with at all. Those who rely upon welfare for their primary source of income without considering the chance to work for something better need to seek some therapy. And before welfare critics jump down my throat for that, I have at some point in my life relied upon welfare in dire circumstances. It was meant as a last resort to total poverty and destitution. Also, part 2 of your statement. Please don't presume to know whether or not I object to cleaning toilets for money or taking a service job because you somehow assume to believe it's beneath me. I clean toilets every other day at my house because some in my family are no longer capable of doing it themselves because of physical disabilities. I have worked in the food service industry for several years. I love to cook professionally and have no problems with it. I understand that I might be a minority in that arena. But please don't stereotype me.
Last, I know what our immigration motto about "give me your tired, ...." It didn't say give me your illegal immigrants who'll objectly violate U.S. policy and laws, not too mention being security threats to continue their self serving nature. I am not anti-latino, I love the culture and mexico has had a long history/relationship with our country, but if you want to immigrate to this country do so legally, if you are fed up with your government, REVOLT! It's obvious that the motto of Mexico is not "Change within" but "If you cannot change your government, hike the fence and move to America illegally". Life in Mexico isn't easy, between fighting drug lords, to corrupt government officials who are continuing to get richer off the backs of it's citizens should be ruled an outlaw country and warrant a serious look at overthrowing that government. However, the people who live there should want it, and with the massive influx of illegals we are seeing here on a daily basis I just don't see that happening.
It is not my fault the mexican government is crap. It is also not my responsibility to be burdened with an increase of unjust taxation for the support of welfare programs that go to illegals. That also includes the outrageous medical costs that I have to undertake because illegals are not refused treatment in our country.
Illegal immigration costs everyone, and that's wrong. I do not have millions of dollars laying around to pay for this anymore than the illegal immigrant who took my job.

in Thoughts on Anger on Technosailor
Well I don't have any idea of what the issue between your friend and her male companion other than what you said here. That said, I don't find much wrong with your letter. You were honest, not mean spirited, and sent it to her in a manner of helping illustrate some light on her situation.
As for being a quiet guy who never told that girl who moved to Florida how you felt, doesn't that suck? I had a girl that I hung out with, whom never knew how I felt about her either, and I was head over heels in love with her. Alas, she married a jerk, and I was forbidden to speak to her. Such is life, but you have to let go of those regrets, they are a killer ;)

Yup Jerald, I wrote the piece LOL As for Senator Coleman defending the constitution, what he's defending is a loop hole. One that's being circumvented by illegals for the purpose of benefiting illegally. How can one rationally support that? While I am not saying that we should chuck the constitution in favor of some stringent pro-citizen socialism reform, I am saying that we can address this problem that enables illegals into purpetrating their crimes. Here is another letter I received from my other Senator. Mark Dayton (A crazy Democrat).
Obviously he felt more strongly about this issue than the republican I voted for. As I distinctly remember from the events AFTER 9/11. Both members of congress met at the capitol steps to sing patriotic songs and the promis that they would do all they could to combat terrorism in this country. Our pourous borders have become part of that problem. And that's why we need to shut it down.

Dear Mr. Nick:
Thank you for contacting me to express your views on immigration.
I believe our nation must be responsive to those who seek to immigrate to this country by legal means. I also believe our government must take additional steps to combat illegal immigration and further defend our nation against the threats of organized crime, drug trafficking, and terrorism.
The topic of immigration is likely to be debated further by the Senate during the 109th Congress. When this debate arises, I will be sure to keep your views in mind. Thank you again for contacting me regarding this very important issue.
My best regards.
Sincerely,
Mark Dayton
United States Senator
