Sometimes even on Slashdot you can find great insights

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

The War on Terra in a nutshell:

"Would you rather (a) risk the chance of being struck by lighting, or (b) carry around a 100 lb faraday cage all day, every day for the rest of your life? Funny that the American government is able to sell the faraday cage as the right choice, especially with the side benefit that they sell faraday cages. And so many people are just lining up to get one. It doesn't even matter to some if the occasional one is plastic. Why bother checking? As long as people feel safe because the government told them they did the right thing. Good for them."

11. Too true, sadly.

It's a pity that the American political spectrum has become so polarized, as most /.ers used to fall into the "Disinterested Libertarian" camp. Now it seems that those same /.ers just looooooooove the BFEE's New Empire. Er, how is the GOP promoting small government again, exactly? :eyes:

13. Yeah and a bunch of progressives. So? It's not a political blog.

It's a place for nerds and tech-heads.

to cut through the bullshit.
