In Colorado, they are voting on requiring ID to vote. I live in Colorado, I have to show ID already, so I am not sure what the question is. But here are the two sides of the issue [i]Democrats object to the Republican...

MrCoolantSpray You got that right. It is by no means an inconvenience. I've never understood how people could leave their driver's license at home. If a person is going somewhere, he or she is usually going to take money. Money (paper or plastic) is almost always stored in...

MrCoolantSpray I've wondered that. Show up in the morning dressed in business clothes and vote for yourself, then show up again an hour later dressed casually and vote as your neighbor, then show up at shift change dressed one way and vote as your workaholic boss, then...

MrCoolantSpray I've already got the Weezer one on my playlist. There's a country song whose name I forget, but it goes something like this: Hey grandpa what's this picture here It's all black and white and it ain't real clear Is that you? He said "Yeah, I was 11 ... If...

MrCoolantSpray The Chicago way--Vote Early, Vote Often. It's interesting how close Halloween and Election Day are--I guess it's easier for the dead to get up just once and make a week-long thing out of it, instead of waking up twice a year. 60ft^3 is a lot of earth to...

MrCoolantSpray There were elections in WI just last week--many of the local candidates ran no ads, had no websites, didn't get any articles in the newspaper. It was impossible to see where they stood on anything. It was also a non-partisan election (no parties listed on the...

I found this somewhere: http://vivianmaier.blogspot.com/ Long story short: a storage locker company starts auctioning off items in lockers with delinquent accounts. One of the items up for auction is a metric truckload of...

MrCoolantSpray Only response = best response by default I've loved this style of photography, but I've never had the chutzpah to take pictures of random strangers. It just seems so invasive to me. Granted, she used a Twin Lens Reflex which was held at waist-level and is...

MrCoolantSpray There was much complaining, and I still see bumper stickers lamenting his election 11 years later. As for Obama, he hasn't proved anything. The records are sealed (if they exist) so nobody can be certain. We can't prove anything one way or the other until...

MrCoolantSpray @Avonrep-- Read your Constitution. Presidential elections are decided by the Electoral College, not by popular vote. In fact, in addition to the 2000 elections, the 1876 and 1888 elections went to the candidate with fewer popular votes too. If you don't like...

I need to cut very precise, very small shapes into paper. I've looked around at various craft stores, and I've found the Elite Slice, Crikut, and several other machines but they don't look like they can cut as small as I need....

MrCoolantSpray I think I found my answer--Silhouette SD from silhouetteamerica.com. Customizable, shapes down to a half inch, multiple substrates. The price is steep, but it does exactly what I want. Thanks everyone for your input!

As a child I was positively terrorized by the movie The Birds. I am beginning to be a bit frightened again. Mass deaths of animals and birds and fishes are being reported all over the world, unlike the Hitchcock movie where birds...

MrCoolantSpray I know it's real, I"m just saying that the media is, perhaps, blowing it out of proportion. These are stories that, 10 years ago, would have run in the local paper only and now they're getting national press (I speak from experience--we had mass frog die-offs...

I've been a Canon user since my parents bought me my first SLR when I was 16. As far as hardware goes, they're pretty much the same--same megapixels, same options, same accessories. The only differences are the lens mounts and the...

MrCoolantSpray What about flashes? Canon seems to have gone the all-wireless route for speedlights but Nikon still allows a PC-cord. Is there a plus side to either of those, or is it moot since most flash users that I'm aware of opt for a third party radio trigger (like...

That's right boycotters, the Wisconsin Public Employees' own retirement system invests heavily into the very companies you are boycotting. So, are you willing to include the retirement funds? Will Firefighters in Madison take all...

Sorry if I spelled the name wrong, but it upsets me that the rebels in Libya are losing and there is no no fly zone over Libya. Is it because Ghaddaffi is a strong man and that is why Obama just waivers on the issue? Or is it...

MrCoolantSpray Suspenseful, freedom is all well and good-but people don't want capital F Freedom by itself. They have to want something else first, something they can't get now because their government won't let them. Then, they want freedom so they can go after the other...
