It didn't look like that big a deal to me. The way it's written now "Idiots and insane people" can't vote. Obviously that's not being followed or the Iowa House wouldn't have passed a thing for several years now. So, I voted to keep it the way it was. We may need the idiot clause in the future. Otherwise the ballot was pretty empty really. Were it not for the judges it would have fit on a page. Slow election year. :) The only thing on the ballot I hadn’t researched was the State’s constitutional amendment. It didn’t look like that big a deal to me.

I trust you did the homework that you said you were going to do. I am voting Saturday. The Veep debate did not matter to you. Nor I. I am sure it didn't mattered to anybody else. My homework is not done ,with the "others" on the ballet. There are other people running for jobs that effect us. Vote Smart & know whom you are voting for.(but I don't care who runs for dog catcher :) ) You voted a day sooner then you said you were going to.

Amazing how they use happiness with buying poducts. We live in Bolivia South America and get back to the states once every 6 months and when we do I must say that we are excited to have options. We almost always buy from best buy. But the purchase is not the thing that makes us happy. The ability to buy something right on the spot and not have to spend all week looking for it to find that it breaks the next day makes me happy. Funny obeservation because does not fly for people who have a best buy right there in town but for those who do not it works. Interesting sloga. Amazing how they use happiness with buying poducts.

I would so love it if all the great, admirable, beautiful things that made up the US before that day, all the things that shaped the country into a modell of freedom for many people around the world came into their own again. I do not want to dismiss all the bad things that happend by americans on american soil, but always your country has been moving forward. And so many people shaped it, through hard toil an labour into a great nation. I do not want to let a handfull of persons destroy all that. Yes! thank you.

That's a nightmare of customer service if ever I heard one. I have to confess though, I /did/ buy Speed Racer from them last night. They were close to the restaurant we ate at and I really wanted Speed Racer. That sounds horrible!

I went in to talk to the manager his name was bob he was very Rude and did not offer cover any of the cost or any help. the paper she signed said that if there was any work other than the work she ask for they would call and if no answer or response they would return the computer and not perform any wok on it. they did not do any of this now we have a computer that does not work and a lost paper that can not be replaced. I will never shop at any best buy again. I am tired of wasting my money on poor service. my daugther return a 6 month old hp lap top that had the v key that had come off and the tab key that was sticking. the geek squad looked at it and made a service right up on it to send it out to fix it they had her sign the paper and she ask do i need to back and save data they told her no not for a key board problem, the place they sent it to replaced the hard drive with out calling her or backing up the hard drive, they also replaced the key board. she got the computer it didnt have OS and would not run they told her she would have to call HP and pay $30 to get a restore disk. she ask to get the old drive back because she stored her work for college on the hard drive and all pictures for the last 4 years. one paper she had been working on for the last 6 months. they informed us that we would have to pay up to $1000 dollars to get the info back plus the $30 for the os.

We must call some new plays, change things up, and stop playing defense. I think a big part of this is a genuine desire people have to be respectful to those who lost so much in that horrible day without understanding they are prolonging the agony. The healthiest mourning looks for some closure, and that’s what seems to be missing. I am hoping that our ‘closure’ takes the form of a more vocal leadership speaking to us continually about more optimistic values – like freedom, and like courageous, creativity-inspiring leadership. I think those who lost their lives on 9/11 are probably looking down from heaven, wanting to somehow give us the message that they did not die to leave us behind with such a broken spirit. They probably expect more from us, and we must expect more of ourselves. Well said my friend. I will share this with others. Don’t think of this as a rant, and don’t apologize for it.
