Most awful hack job, but my kid likes it

Accepted - I should have restricted it to USA leadership or top politicians. In fact, that applies to politicians throughout the world

- maybe the majority of small local politicians are better.

This is usenet - IMHO is taken for granted.

That's as accurate a representation of radical Islamist goals as you're likely to find. But from what I've seen posted here lately, Gunner, you're casting pearls before swine. And more's the pity.

But won't all the blue-nosed tree-hugging leftist weenies riot when they are disenfranchised ?:-)

I think you already know the answer to that one. ;-)

I've just checked the presidential timeline, and it shows that the proximate cause of of the 9/11 attack(s) was the election of George W. Bush:

Cheers! Rich

No, they don't. They're in the grip of terminal brain lock, and the only option they allow their little imprisoned mind to acknowledge is to kill all of "them".

Thanks, Rich

OK, then, by extension the real cause of the attack was our failure to elect algore?

That's one more example of why we will some day require an IQ test before granting the privilege to vote.

I don't think it is specified in the NEC, but any thoughtful person will mount a receptacle with the ground side up, as we've been doing for many years. Unfortunately, many electricians aren't thoughtful. The industry providing most of the devices isn't very helpful... showing them both ways in their literature.

Many manufacturers even make angled plugs that have the ground prong the wrong way, so the cord goes up instead of down. That isn't helpful.

I know of a large >> Actually, Spehro, in some places putting the receptacle on its side

Thanks; far as I know that's original.

No, that's a red herring. Clinton's ineffective responses to terrorist acts caused them to become emboldened, and escalate, and as a result we have 9/11. Did Clinton cause it? Of course not. Did Clinton's ineffective responses contribute to the environment that made it possible? Absolutely.

Actually we are a lot safer with so many of Al Quidas management and rank and file having become maggot food.

Your opinion is noted. And you seem to forget that Wahabism wants to not only bring a knife to the schoolyard..but wants to cut off your head, the head of your wife and children, your dog and your gerbil, then convert any survivors to miltitant Islam.

And that Davie..is the gorilla in the china shop, no matter what buffoonish opinion you hold.

"Pax Americana is a philosophy. Hardly an empire. Making sure other people play nice and dont kill each other (and us) off in job lots is hardly empire building, particularly when you give them self determination under "play nice" rules.

Think of it as having your older brother knock the s*it out of you for torturing the cat." Gunner

Odd..I see lots of opinion pieces, details of detainee policies, but nothing about official US policies on torture. Cant you produce an Executive order or something?

Ill be waiting for proof of your claims about Official US policy approval on "torture"

Btw Dave...what do you define as torture?

Thats not MY claim, nor is it my claim that the Evil Republicans having kept the Slickster tied up, caused 9-11 either.

Mullens is right up there with Bemelman and Sloman... all out of the same blue-nosed tree-hugging leftist weenie socialist cookie cutter... just like Win Hill ;-)

Well, I do so want it to be true (that Dubya caused 9/11), but I'm sure it's a little more involved than that.

The point was to make a point by using the same tactics as the antismokerist epidemiologists that got smoking practically banned by doing the same thing, or worse - I haven't checked the numbers lately, but I've heard that as smoking rates have declined, cancer rates have remained steady or increased, along with obesity, diabetes, asthma - yes, as smoking has decreased, asthma has increased! and so on. But I've known all along that they are idologues and so will find a way to "prove" their point. (the antismokerists, that is.)

But it does kinda show how logic flies out the window when you're on a crusade.

Thanks! Rich

Well, as much as I disagree with about half of your politics, I really like your honesty.

I agree that the socialist tobacco nazi's are whacked. People need to show personal responsibility. If they choose to smoke, they should be able to smoke, same as alcohol.

As far as I know, the national electrical code does not specify orientation of receptacles.
