I made it a whole week........

......without shooting my mouth off about politics.

I knew I could do it:-)

I finally got around to upgrading to Firefox 2.0.............so far I like it, seems pretty much the same at 1.5. just looks slightly different and it might be a little faster but that also might be my imagination.

A couple of posts below Brian had commented about the kid that got tasered at UCLA.........

Here was Brian's comment..........

What would you have done to remove the kid from the library?

Sounds to me like he did not comply with the police when he was asked to leave because he had no identification. My sister goes to UCLA and I am happy to see theat the police are keeping an eye out for her safety. What if this looney was stalking someone?

When I tell my kids to do something and they do not do it, I inform them of the Consequence if they do not. Then I tell them again. My kids have the right to choose. They ussually listen.

It sounds to me like this kids parents never followed through with a punishment so he did not learn.
Maybe he learned something this time.

My opinion? The kid was a total jackass for not complying to the officers demand for identification. If he knew he was supposed to have ID on him and he didn't have it-he shoulda left and got it.

If I was the cop, what would I have done?

Waited until a lot of back up was there, ask the kid one more time to provide identity and why they need it, then calmly tell him he is about to be forcibly removed from the library if he doesn't provide it.

There is no way you can tell me 7 or 8 cops can't calmly and quietly remove one person from a building without tasering him. The kid screwed up but the cops screwed up worse. At least UCLA is doing something about it.

I think this might be the ultimate "Oh Shit" moment. Running out of fuel on the highway is one thing.............

The Democrats look like they are off to a incredibly bad start. Whatevs, as long as they keep 43 locked in his office for the next 2 years.

Never cook a turkey in a propane fueled deep fryer that's located on your porch. Especially if you live in a mobile home.

No one ever said crooks are smart. This guy sure isn't.

I'm not quite following this guy's logic. I support our troops but I think the war is and was a terrible idea, I have a 13 year old son and I'm not really in favor of him be drafted to fight someone else's war. Call me selfish, but that's the way I see it.

I'm advising a client on a new computer purchase. Since the computer is going to be for his kids to do homework and will be on a dial-up connection-I've told him to stick with XP. Vista is right around the corner, but most of the new computers I've seen labeled as "Vista Ready" aren't really. Hardly anyone has 128 megs of video RAM and 2 gigs of system RAM which is what you really need for it to run smoothly if you upgrade a pre-existing box.

I say buy now or wait 6 months if you can.....this guy thinks most of Vista is just hype.

I won't be trading in any of my iPods for a Zune anytime soon.

I wonder if endurance athletes will want to use this? Nah.......

Till later.
