We need to pass a constitutional amendment to prevent spouses, and other immediate family members of past presidents from running for the office. Just think, with such an amendment, we'll avoid Hillary and Jeb Bush. Too late for W. It's worth it - J. Q. Adams notwithstanding.

mattp- I've spent almost 10 years on web forums.Like clockwork everycouple of years on a forum people bitch about it declining, and the spray or whatever driving people away. Sometimes they change something (heavier moderation, memberships, etc), sometimes they don't. Sometimes the members respond to these tactics, sometimes they don't. The best predictor of 'content', in my experience, is user activity. The more people who use the forum, the more content there is. I'm not saying you can't garden to modify the ratio slightly; but it's only slight. Exactly. This is just how it is.

and how does it compare to yours?

and I'll bet she eats a lot more than just desserts...

looks like they paid off for once, ne c'est pas?

pay the piper

If this is typical of the truthfulness of the film, then I'd say the flap is justified. The truth is not interesting... or dramatic enough for the average viewer. Ratings, ratings...

Who? Bush? CJ0001F

looks like he's been drinking again.

Well, Clinton was no worse than his three predecessors dealing with terrorism.

That alone is a good enough reason to care about this. The danger is that media- left and right- increasingly package their opinions as "the Truth" and "facts". I suppose that has always been the case to some extent, but should we all just standby silently while the masses are "educated" by ideologues promoting their own agendas? I think we're better than that. I'm not watching this crap. Neither should anybody else, but that's their choice. It's not my job (or government's) to protect people from themselves.

who the fuck cares about any of this. TV/movies always take huge liberties with the truth in their "fictional" depictions passed off as historical, and all the igorant sheeple believe whatever they see taking it as the latter.

I'm not going to debate the attitude of the people you have talked to, but my observation is that most people's lives haven't changed a bit. Taking off your shoes to fly in airplanes doesn't count. Speaking for myself and most people I know, 9/11 hasn't affected the overwhelming majority of our daily activities with the exception of our political griping. We do the same work, we engage in the same leisure activities, we spend our money the same way. Really, the only people that I know whose lives are substantially different are those who are in the military and their families, and they are a very small fraction of this country. Excellent. Isn't the point of the terrorists to change our lives? If we haven't done so, they have failed.

Can't a terrorist figure out how to apply a fake "factory seal"?

yeah right. they've been a hell of a lot more consistent (and good) than Metallica.

A good story for Germany or Florida (omit the multi-syllabic conglomerate of course)

quidquid Latine dictum sit altum viditur

or presidents...

but means the same thing... literally. If we want everything to sound better, why not write everything in Latin You are really sharp, dude. By the way it's a Greek word, not latin. I believe the word is "capitis". cephalus (latin) kephalos (greek) I find it hilarious how people think that if you write something in Latin (or French for that matter) it somehow sounds better/more sophisticated/whatever, when the translation is exactly the same thing.

oh boy. be prepared for a full-body-cavity search with that stuff in your carry-on

not necessarily true. often interviewers have to agree to avoid asking certain questions to get the interview.
