slashdot on bbv

this was orginally posted by alfredo

Slashdot is really staying on top of this story. Let them know you appreciate their support.

http://yro.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/12/11/1620228&mode=thread&tid=103&tid=126&tid=99

Several links are in the story. Check them out.

this one is priceless:

We have diebold in control of our votes. We need to stop them now, before the primaries so they cannot decide who will run against Bush in the general election.

1. Wondered why that was locked just as I posted?
I hate to tell you, but only the bashing threads get attention here now. I had one about Bush's connections to the Medicare card, which hardly gets attention.

Just wanted you to now I read the articles, and I also read the one about Bob Graham sponsoring a bill on this. It dropped like a rock as well.

Put Clark or Dean in the subject line to get attention.
:shrug:

2. I took note of your card post - it's a todo tonight to email out :-)
I liked the one million dollar increase in Bush wealth by being on the inside of the card company stockholders!

But you are correct -

zero replies on non-flame posts is getting common!

:-)


by the way - as alfedo editing his post to non swears - and as you were posting - and as I was checking the sources - the swears were leading to a locking. We have on the ball mods!

:-)

:toast:

3. Slashdot's been on top of this for ages
They tend to lean too libertarian for my likings, but they're dead on with regards to BBV.

4. I wonder why they locked my thread
Edited on Thu Dec-11-03 02:22 PM by alfredo
It seemed to be ok and in line with the rules. This is the second straight one they locked where i was the first to post the info.

Yeah, slashdot is too cool.

I guess the word Sc*mbag is a no no even when it is not directed to an individual, or democratic candidate.

6. Yeah they seem that way, but when it comes to
abuse by the merchant aristocrats like Microsoft and Enron, they are on our side.
