QUOTE(hammerhead johnson @ Apr 27, 2006 -> 10:58 PM) Man, I remember buying their Greatest Hits CD on the strength of "Runnin With The Devil". Tracks 2 through 17 on that disc are straight booty. The Sammy Hagar era produced some of the cheesiest love songs that I've ever heard in my life. I'll go with a Michael Bolton/Kenny G duet over 99.9% of Van Halen's catalog. I s*** you not. Van Halen?! f*** them, he stole Valerie Bertinelli from me, the bastard

Is the company a member of the BBB? Member companies are obligated, by their membership to act in an ethical manner and follow certain rules in resolving complaints. If they are not members, it may still matter, just not as much. The primary role for the BBB, is to mediate and keep stuff from going to court. Kind of like old school people's court only without Judge Wopner. Since you are not asking for any damages, I'm not certain what they will do. BTW, did you also contact the company directly? IMHO I think it is always a good idea to report to the offending business first, and give them a chance to fix the problem. Great letter, well worded, well structured, very business like.

QUOTE(NUKE_CLEVELAND @ Apr 27, 2006 -> 09:45 PM) ^^^^ And indeed many organizers are fearful of a backlash from white America. Its coming. Not just from white America. In fact Fox wasn't far off when he compared the role of Mexicans with other minorities. Those minorities have moved a step or two up the ladder and don't want to give that up as easy.

Nuke, a while back there was some initiative to change the law to instant citizenship for getting wounded, instead of having to die, did that ever get passed? I think my Congressman was one of the sponsors of the bill and I didn't see it on his web site.

QUOTE(NUKE_CLEVELAND @ Apr 27, 2006 -> 09:44 PM) My advice to you and anyone else that has to be downtown that day is take a train. Driving into that mess is not terribly smart. But if they ask you to wear a pin, for GOD SAKES, wear the pin . . .

Politics being poltics, if these leaks were happening during the Clinton years, they would have been blamed on the moral decay and cut backs, etc. You know, just saying :rolly

Something very right about Sweet Emotion, 80 degrees outside, windows down, at night, smell of salt air, and doing 85 mph* down a long, flat, straight, farm to market road, near the Gulf that just sets my spirits soaring. *professional driver on a closed road

QUOTE(kapkomet @ Apr 27, 2006 -> 03:34 PM) Don't take me out of context. These people (our current administration) ain't no saints, that's for sure, but no one in the government is. They all have their political motivation. So people against the administration take these so-called "patriotic whistleblowers" like Ms. McCarthy and Mr. Wilson (gee they worked together on some of the same projects, ain't that nice??????), and put these people on a pedistal like they are s***ting gold bricks or something for "upholding their duty to rat out the (current) administration". You know what? Their insides are made of fool's gold. Maybe that's why they s*** (fake) gold bricks. Wasn't trying to take you out of context and I think I will not take you literally. So far, any flap, every mistep, every embarassment in the past year has been met by about the same post as you just made. I also believe, you realize some of this s***, is actually f*** ups by Bush and Co. So some where between Bush as the devil and Bush as Saint, is the truth. I can say, I was a coin flip vote this past election, hoping for a strong second term when he was elected. Sadly, I think this term is worse than his first and his first wasn't exactly brilliant.

QUOTE(Rex Kickass @ Apr 27, 2006 -> 03:59 PM) I love the fact that people call a demonstration intimidation yet a threat to make 12 million instant felons and put everyone that looks Latino subject to scrutiny over their papers is just a legislative agenda. QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Apr 27, 2006 -> 06:05 PM) I love it when people knowingly break our laws repeatedly, and expect to not only to be welcomed into the country, they are threatening to punish us if we don't give into their demands. I can easily agree with both of those statements. Which is probably why our poor parties can't come up with a "party line". OMFG, their members have to actually think, and vote, for themselves. If we're (those that are for helping illegals become legal) are going to help you, don't piss on me. But if we're going to admit that we have a sizable population with brown skin and accents, let's not round up everyone that doesn't look like a Swede.

A group of alumni, highly established in their careers, got together to visit their old university professor. Conversation soon turned into complaints about stress in work & life. Offering his guests coffee, the professor went to the kitchen & returned with a large pot of coffee & an assortment of cups made of Porcelain, Plastic, Glass, Crystal, some ordinary looking, some expensive, some exquisite. He told them to help themselves to hot coffee. When all the students had a cup of coffee in their hands, the professor said: "If you noticed, all the nice looking expensive cups were taken up, leaving behind the plain and cheap looking ones. While it is but normal for you to want only the best for yourselves, that is the source of your problems and stress. What all of you really wanted was coffee, not the cup, but you consciously went for the best cups and worse, you were eyeing each other's cups. Now if life is coffee, then the jobs, money and position in society are the cups. They are just tools to hold and contain Life, but the quality of Life doesn't change. Sometimes, by concentrating only on the cup, we fail to enjoy the coffee in it." So folks, don't let the cups drive you..., enjoy the coffee instead!!

QUOTE(kapkomet @ Apr 27, 2006 -> 02:36 PM) Patriotic Duty. :rolly It always comes back to that - that something has to be diabolical or evil or whatever negative connotation with this administration. Yet, they keep doing stuff and doing stuff. We'll see how Jeb does next . . .

QUOTE(NorthSideSox72 @ Apr 27, 2006 -> 02:38 PM) Thinkpad drives are on the side, and the ports are either side or back. Nothing in front but the mini-speakers. And last I checked, you got to choose between "The Dot" (the little stick in the keyboard, which is my preference), or a scroll pad. Many come with both and you can switch as desired. I could never get use to the "dot". I also don't use the scroll feature.

Interesting article. What I think is very interesting is the notion of a state leaving the United States. I always thought New Hampshire would make a nice country. Although their olympic program would probably suck

You send your kids out into the world and pray for the best. I didn't need to read this today, my daughter is in Dallas for a HS Student Council National Convention

Nuts to the left, nuts to the right, here I am stuck in the middle with you. Like many important debates in our society, the fringe groups get the press because it's entertaining, but we really can't take them seriously.

Another great company is Kryptonite locks. I haven't used this lock in years and thought I lost the key. I called and they offered an exchange for $18 for a new style lock, a $50 value. But, when I did find the key, and somehow it didn't open the lock, they explained about their lifetime warrenty. They are sending me a pre-paid shipping label, and will replace the lock, with their newest style, at no charge. They also guarantee my bike against theft up to $1250.

QUOTE(EvilMonkey @ Apr 27, 2006 -> 01:56 PM) Thanks Tex, that is exactlly what I meant. if you get permission from your company, more power to ya. If you just decide to go out for a bit, and screw the rest of the office/warehouse with your absense, I hope you get just as f***ed in the employment area. I don't see this stuff as helping the immigration cause. What would be better is if no one showed up, with the explaination, we were all *working* like we've been telling you. To the militant protester, I'm sorry, I believe that US policies caused a situation that is unfair to a lot of people. Let us fix the problem, and we'll help you out. But intimidate us and act ungrateful? I start to get a little upset. When they lose support from folks like me, they are taking a giant step backwards.
