tessrow Maggiepie: You might actually bother to read what I posted, and go to the link, before you respond to it? That way you wouldn't look quite so foolish as you do now.

tessrow Maggiepie: Most of the subverting of the Constitution was actually done under the Bush administration. Obama hasn't introduced a host of new laws; Bush did that. I protested them at the time. Why wasn't there a huge outcry that George W. Bush wasn't a...

tessrow Rollo, I read your response, and I think you were very clear. My problem is that I don't recall anyone calling President Bush "unAmerican" or stating that he was subverting the "true essence" of America. They just said that he was a bad President and they...

tessrow Can you define what this "true essence of our country" is? Can you explain to me why Obama's presidency is a threat to this "true essence"? Do you realise how close you're getting to ACTUAL brownshirt rhetoric with this sort of language?

tessrow The problem is not disagreeing with the President's policies, or the honest expression of dissent. I do recall being called a hater and an "ABB" (remember that? Anyone but Bush?) when I spoke out against the Iraq war and the mishandling of funds and oil by...

tessrow I agree that we are the ones who elect our governments, be they federal, state, or local. But we also do so with certain expectations. I personally value most of the programs that my local government provides, but I also am lucky enough to live in a city that...

There are quite a few horror classics and several horror movies that were box-office smashes. In a collected list of people's favourite horror movies, you're bound to see "Dawn of the Dead" and "Halloween" a few times. But what is...

tessrow I liked Shaun of the Dead a lot too. I occasionally have a weak stomach for horror films (things like Saw and Hostel spring immediately to mind) and I hate anything that is based on reality. I can't watch any of the serial killer movies that are based on...

Just to be honest the only part of the Stimulus package that has actually done something has been this CARS program. Originally it was just 1 billion now 3 billion of the 800 billion has been allocate to buying up used cars for...

tessrow I know someone who was able to buy her first home because of the new stimulus incentives for doing so. So I can say both that program and most likely the CARS program are useful. I just resent the fact that the banks that are STILL charging ruinous interest...

tessrow I don't really understand why you'd make an unsubstantiated statement like that. Can you produce one bit of evidence for this? It's just fearmongering, like when George W. Bush was in his second term and people said he would declare a state of emergency so...

tessrow I really love Asian horror as well. I will be looking for that one. There's a real sense of atmosphere in most Asian horror films. I think that's a quality most modern horror films lack. And "Freaks" had it as well, I agree, that sense of impending doom....

tessrow I love that movie too. Steve McQueen just defines cool in that. And that was the first movie I ever saw where the adults just didn't get it and the kids had to save the day. I don't find it scary at all, but just great fun. And the song is truly great as...

tessrow I am a big fan of the public school system. But I specifically moved to a neighbourhood where the public schools were extremely good -- not everyone has the luxury to do that. I do think the federal government has overstepped its authority. But I think...

tessrow In principle, I agree with you. One problem that arises is that the states are not equally wealthy. The federal government subsidises education in all the states, but some of the states pay enough income tax to the federal government to allow it to "even out"...

tessrow Um, you do realise that unless you are a dealer who is participating in the program, none of this applies to you? And that generally speaking, the same sort of agreement applies to anyone serving as an agent of the government with access to the federal...
