Thawk, I will ..... once I have some sleep :D .... Greg is touching on it a bit ..... sometimes different "ism's" will agree on certain things (like say the Constitution) ..... but while they agree, they are coming at things from much different places. It goes back to what I said earlier -...

Ahhh .... but we did ..... well at least the swine had it .... some place, somewhere .... Swine Flu has been around a very, very long time .... Influenza viruses can jump from birds or pigs (swine) to humans .... or in the reverse direction (we infect them) Viruses can mutate into different...

Actually, I would say you're both right ...... at least in a sense ...... politics, philosophy ...... are complex subjects ..... One could say that, at this place and point in time, being a libertarian (small L) is a conservative stance in light of where we are now. Often it is difficult...

Yeah .... it was way good stuff ...... particularly since it came from one of their own .... and it's not as though Penn is a right-winger by any stretch of the imagination .... :D He has some rather interesting takes on things: "I think there's been a forgetting that bravery involves risk...

Not being there and observing it, and so not knowing how it actually went, the party who bite the other person's finger off was clearly wrong for doing so. However, several things seem to be being missed in the insightful commentary above, by our resident analysts here on EO: First, the guy...

I kinda like Penn Jillette's take on it (WARNING - STRONG LANGUAGE): Uhhh ..... a servant ? ... at least some of them out there in La-La land are thinking .....

LOL .... yeah ..... toy ..... your tech needs sent over to the Vaterland for a little specialized instruction - and some massive discipline - from Dieter and his monkey ..... Doctor Z would not be pleased: Mein Gott im Himmel - Ketzerei !!! A visual check may well tell you little to nothing -...

Exactly ....... the last thing one should want to do is concentrate power further, into fewer hands .... a very, very bad idea. Nice premise (reduce the size of government) ..... but utterly horrible on the execution - the area that ought to be targeted for that is the executive branch - not...

Wow DD .... that's just a really thorough, completely engaged, and terribly well thought out response ...... glad ya saw fit to substantively address all of what the Terrapin wrote in it's entirety .... and not just grab on to some little portion and then try to twist it into something that it...

Yup - you are probably correct - I just found out that the FCC database that the maps I posted use is neither necessarily complete, nor current (you taxes dollars at work ... not :() Understand - I can only report what my (and my wife's) experience has been - we generally haven't seen the...

And this one below (filtered to show all cell carriers) might indicate that you may well not be able to get much better service ........ maybe even with any other provider. Seems like maybe the town fathers might not to keen on having them nasty cell towers there in the fine city of Redford...

This might shed a little light on why you have issues (doh ....) Cell tower map - filtered to show only ATT towers:

Begs the question - why would you go get a new ATT phone if you don't want ATT ? I mean, you been *****ing about them on here ........ for how long now .... months ? ..... years ? Why do you still have them if they are so bad ? Exactly how far are you from that tower ? Sounds like...

Ouch !!! :(
