How exactly is changing the way we vote for our President anything like "mob rule" or "direct democracy"?!?! The glaring fact remains: we're still voting for a President!

We unfortunately won't unite. This culture war will be fought until one side wins, which could be a decade or two away...

Whoops, I thought you made the "roughshod over the little guys" comment. I think the framers of the Constitution can be wrong. They were wrong about counting black slaves as 3/5 of a person. They were wrong about making the Vice President the guy who lost to the President.

And how does that differ from the swing state system we have now? What we have now is the candidates running to a select few states (no more than 10) and molding their campaign to the liking of those swing states, and they do essentially buy the presidency. The conservative voice in California...

Why don't you answer my question about your comment? Is it realistic to think as someone living in Mayretta that there's some scary liberals up north who'll impose all these horrible things upon you and your loved ones?

I thought you were referring to b0mberman's question as to why the Democrats can't win the middle/southern states.

Was this before or after he told a gay man to die of AIDS and rot in hell on his shortlived MSNBC show?

Its fun to be a douchebag!

All the major news orgs are saying that AK-47's and Uzis will be now legal, and under the AWB they were not. Is this true or not? Also, did the framers of the Constitution have weapons like AK-47's and Uzis in mind when they wrote the Bill of Rights?

UPDATE: Alright I've done a little trouble shooting, and it was the cheap GE USB hub that I was connecting it to that was giving me problems. Plugging it directly to my PC works fine from what I can tell. Sorry for the wrongheaded comment.

I wholeheartedly disagree with all the positive reviews here. This flash drive does NOT work very well. I just gone one today, and I've been testing it tranferring files from my WinXP box to my Powerbook. It works a few times, then all of a sudden the OS's can't read it anymore. When it does...
