Synn I wan't trying to make it an abortion debate. My point was that without SCOTUS intervention we have the means to resolve even the most contentious issues.

[excon]

The answer to that is to let the process work itself out. Compromise can be achieved on even the most contentious moral issues . Look at slavery . The country lived with 2 intractable positions from before it's founding

Hello again, tom:

I think you forgot about the civil war. That's what happens when you CAN'T compromise, and we didn't.

Read my reply #36 . The civil war was indeed the result of a breakdown of compromise... and it is directly related to a SCOTUS decision.

Those LED traffic lights that won't melt snow? Turns out they also get a little rude at times.

Too funny. I haven't seen them yet but we apparently have had a few of these rude traffic lights in our neck of the woods.

Just another hack, funny one too.

It's no hack, dude, I'm not an idiot. It is an equipment malfunction, the led's burn out "from the outside fingers in"

[NeedKarma]

I'm still going with it being a hack and they are covering up that fact.

Geez, dude, I take it my home newspaper is also an unapproved source. Our city officials acknowledged the problem is due to age, not hacking. We are not redneck rubes down here, heck we build nuclear weapons just down the street. If I say it isn't a hack it isn't a hack.

Hi speech,

Yep, we call 'em blue heelers in Texas. Awesome dogs, smart as a whip and as loyal as can be. That's my 10-year-old baby, Molly. She's gorgeous, but I'm a little biased that way. :)

Hello again, Steve:

I don't know. Being a fellow who LOVES the bird, I hacked the light on my street corner last night... I didn't use software.. I used soft chewing gum. It fits nicely into the holes and blocks those lights pretty damn good.

I have other skills I learned in jail too.

I may not be the smartest guy, but I would think you could pull the gum out instead of replacing the fixture. No need to replace something when you can just return it to its normal state.

I suppose YOU could. But, I want to put more in.

The Chevy Volt is "virtually" taking America by storm. GM sold 125 Volts in July. According to a GM spokeswoman the slow sales are attributed to a short supply.

GM Confirms Slow Chevy Volt Sales
Submitted by Mark Modica on Tue, 08/02/2011 - 14:02

Sales of the much-hyped Chevy Volt fell to new lows as did GM share price as July auto sales figures came in. Only 125 Volts were sold during the month of July. Recent reports attributed the slump to supply constraints as GM spokeswoman, Michelle Bunker, was quoted as saying that the Volt was "virtually sold out" and only a "few" were available nationwide. I have confirmed that this statement is not entirely truthful and have gotten clarification from GM through Director of Communications, Greg Martin.

A search of cars.com site showed nearly 500 Chevy Volts listed for sale. I had originally assumed that GM dealers were advertising vehicles that were not actually available for sale, since GM has stated that there were only a "few" Volts available. I decided to call a few dealers within 75 miles of my location to determine what the true situation was. I stopped my research after finding that five of the first six dealers I called had Volts in inventory available for immediate sale. Two of the five dealers even had two each in stock. I can now safely assume that GM is, once again, not being entirely honest with its facts. The demand for the Chevy Volt is not as strong as GM would have us believe.

I suppose the Volt is a "virtual" success.

The latest green success of the day, Solyndra, a solar panel manufacturer that Obama said in May of last year was "a testament to American ingenuity and dynamism" and received over a half-billion in Porkulus funds, shut its doors and declared bankruptcy.

My money well spent. :mad:

Unfortunately that happens every year no matter who is in power at the moment.

Not to people who are held up as the poster child for your green revolution and given a half-billion of federal money.

[paraclete]

Business that rely on a government whim will always come off second best. Interesting to note that even stimulus can't keep these new industries alive or was it a scam

[tomder55]

Instead of investing in Solyndra,
The President should've brought this technology to America.
