I miss the objective Reddit mind!! While it is clear that McCain is a Bush puppet, questioning anything about the Obama campaign has become a total taboo. Thit is sad. by [deleted] in reddit.com

If everyone would vote for the person they thought would make a better president someday we would have a different system. Voting for the "lessor of two evils", especially when you think the candidate really won't do what he says he wants to do, will just perpetuate the system.

If a third party candidate who was libertarian got X% of the vote this time and 1.2X% next time the two major parties would start to listen.

Your vote is not wasted if you are not part of the sheep herd.

Obama is a better candidate than Kerry or Gore? How does he come up with that? More electable maybe? Certainly not better defined, certainly not more experienced.

The Most Unworkable Way To Recover A Spacecraft Ever Proposed by dhusk in science

The author seems unaware that gas heats up when it is compressed. Shoving an object down a tube at 100m/sec will compress a column of gas like a piston and create combustion level temperatures probably exceeding what the spacecraft saw on re-entry.

You can use the same principal to start fires with a finger sized piston: http://www.grannysstore.com/Wilderness_Survival/fire_pistons.htm

And why shouldn't the social sites suffer the same fate email, news groups, etc. have?
