No, you like most people are unwilling to see things as they are and how
they could be. This is understandable, because the normal human brain is
not capable of handling such a disconnect - to know than only a small
handful of the six billion have the true freedom to pursue real
opportunities, while the rest are held in servitude by economic or
social restrictions will certainly lead to mental disorders.

You can not handle the truth of how bad things are, so you create clever
intellectual arguments to convince yourself that things are acceptable
and getting better. It is why you refuse to see evil where it clearly
exists. We are doomed to a miserable existence by greed and avarice.

Hint number one: I made the mistake of trying to get medical help for
certain chronic conditions and ended up paying over $4,000 in uncovered
costs in less than a year. My insurance "provider" (I use the term
loosely") had so many exemptions and deductibles that they ended up
paying about 20% of what I was billed. [1] Ask me why I hate the
for-profit medical industry [2].

From what I've seen you'd hate a government sponsored medical industry even
more

Hint number two: Civil engineers in mid-sized cites in the US with 5
years of experience and a graduate degree typically have salaries of
less than $45,000/year. With the hours expected, this can easily work
out to less than $20/hour.

Then find another profession, I did

Hint number three: Not having affluent parents to pick up the bill, I
had to borrow a substantial amount of money for higher education. I am
well on my way to paying off these loans 3 to 4 years ahead of schedule.

So did I, so did my brother who now makes well over $200,000 a year at
T-Mobile (no I don't make anything close to that). Took me 6 years to pay
off school loans, thats part of the process

I'm noticing a pattern here

1. You don't seem to do much unless someone else offers assistance
2. You seem think you are stuck in your profession and don't think you can
ever get out
3. You seem to like blaming others for your problems instead of yourself
4. There is no #4

Without actually knowing you I could of course be wrong however I've yet to
see you say something positive on something other than recumbents.

As for the Earth Cycles, I was not looking to buy a Sunset (I had just
sold the Wishbone RT to reduce the number of bicycles) when someone made
the point of personally contacting me when a certain red Sunset came up
for sale. I had no choice but to provide a home for an orphan.

You sold a Wishbone RT??? (shudder)

All a part of how you look at things but then again some people just like

OK, I have to ask. Last time I was posting here there were some people
from
outside harrassing Bass, determined to be mostly business competitors I
think, but most of the group rallied to his defense. Did some on the
group
join the attack? Did some of the allegations turn out to be true?

Fill me in.

Well right now Bass is on vacation in Brazil with his wife for another 2
weeks I think, Group Moderator hasn't been seen for about 2 months so either
he's passed on or busy getting a refil of Prozac

Bass's problems are mostly of his own making, he was in the industry for 20
years (up for debate to some) then sold the business and moved to Florida
following an apparently nasty divorce (my speculation here). Much of the
problem is he tends to cut down everyone else in the security industry (not
just those in the newsgroup) for the sole reason of promoting his site, add
to that the fact he is a convicted felon (Florida conviction 1979 assaulting
a relative with a gun), fake posts using aliases on the newsgroup and
private forums and you see where all this is going.

On the flip side you have total morons like Group Moderator (Mike), Frank
Olson and our buddy G Morgan here who play the "one-up" game to the extreme
to catch him in a lie while most of the time making themselves out to look
like idiots, it come and goes and at time I've been involved in it too
although not to the same extent. While they are morons much of the
harrassing of RLB is deserved and often he encourages it to again sell
product by making himself out to be the "victim".

..While Robert will tell you the people against him are competitors the
reality is nobody competes with him since his choice of DIY security system
business is a speck on the wall as far as numbers compared to the industry
in general, he tends to say this to puff himself up to the newbies in the
newsgroup and try to sell them something. Almost everyone on the newsgroup
ends up disliking the guy for one reason or another including me, some take
it to the extreme like making web pages, posting divorce information etc.

You don't have to believe any of this but hang around that forum for a year
or so and you'll understand

But then you are willing to (virtually) crucify L.Bush for being
involved
in an automobile accident when she was 17 years old. What does that
make
you vis-a-vis
O'Reilly and the others you mentioned?

I did not say that at all. I was merely pointing out the double
standards for Republicans and non-Republicans.

If Laura Bush was trying to push her agenda as an unelected "official" like
Hillary did in the 90's I imagine she would be getting nailed much the same
way

What double standard are you thinking about? Didn't the Dems try to
influence the first Bush election by releasing Bush's 30 year old DUI
arrest
information in the last moments of the campaign? Whatever are you
thinking
about?

And Bush was given a complete pass on all his mistakes by the pundits.
Both Clintons, Kerry and Gore were not given the same pass. Double
standard.

I don't know where you got that idea, they tried roasting him on that one a
month before the election just like they tried with the National Guard
issue. In the end the voters gave him the pass not the media

And it was Fox news that broke the story

Nope, broadside by a Chevrolet Sedan near Midland Texas on Nov. 6,

No I was talking about the other situation. The park is Fort Marcy or
something like that. The cause of death was a gunshot wound to the
head.

Lemme guess, first name is Vince?



Yeah. Seems to me the first name did start with a V.

I always felt that was a very overblown story
