Taxation and misrepresentation

2009 September 12
by SLmanDR

As much as I like this idea of writing Rangel Rule at the top top a delinquent tax bill it is just another nail in the coffin sealing the fate of America to ignominious dung pile . It represents further erosion of personal responsibility. It represents giving the anointed few a free ride card. Bill 111-h735

Instead of taking the system for what they can suck out of it- the “get yours while you can mentality”. When are the Congress and Senate going to show some civic leadership and follow by example?

Ways and Means Committee Chairman Charles Rangel (D-N.Y.) and Secretary Timothy F. Geithner should be censured by the members of the House and Senate and penalized to the fullest extent of the law.

Come on Congress, stand up and show us what you’re made of. Or have you already?

Blood sucking louse

Of course then if a wild west take what you want and forget the other guy mentality, completely contrary to the espoused community organizing – help and be your brothers keeper party line that’s being presented nowadays by the very group of individuals perpetrating these frauds, is what you want. Then ok, just be prepared for the unintended consequence. There is going to be fomented such a tax revolt in this country the likes of which hasn’t been seen in many years. I expect that will spin the politicians heads around.

Apple Preview or Adobe Reader

2009 August 23

I haven’t had Adobe Reader running on the system for quite some time until today. I recognized missing information on a statement from a service supplier. Pictures attached. I’m wondering which application is responsible for dropping or failing to show the data. I think I’m safe in assuming the browser- (Camino) downloads the bits correctly because I am opening the same file with the two different readers. The service provider specifies the site works best with Acrobat and IE 6. The handoff to a pdf reader is the hiccup. Reader displays the information that Preview does not. It looks like time to send a bug report to Apple.

Thoughts and Dreams

Can you imagine the speed that the founding fathers must have wanted to push the Declaration and Constitution into being.

But that wasn’t spending the citizens money. It was no tax being placed upon the people they were writing this for.
And such a simple comprehendible document.

It was a document freeing them from the tyranny of taxation without representation.

It was a document placing the people into the debt of responsibility to control their own lives.

Mac OS X and Safari 4.02

Thinking that Apple would have the time and resources available to take of it by now. I checked the latest updates for fixing the double double search bar in the APple Support Forum.

Gecko and WebKit renders of Apple Support page.

Gecko and WebKit renders of Apple Support page.

The problem still exists. I don’t know why the decision is made this way. Consider; Apple has made the choice to allow the poor code to stay in an important and visible company frontispiece which is bad and allow it to stand which is also bad and not code their browser to ignore / fix poor coding which is good. Confusing choices. Compare the browser performance on said page in the WebKit and Gecko based browsers presented here. Safari 4.0.2, Camino and Firefox. WebKit Version 4.0.2 (5530.19, r46919) is included to check latest revision under the WebKit code.
The Firefox and Camino browsers handle the excess bit of gif code more elegantly. The corners of the (deprecated?) image still show. Does mishandling of gif’s explain the problem?
When viewing animated GIF’s such as Anime the WebKit slows ponderously and will recover if left alone but is easliy overtaxed and crashed. The Gecko engine handle the animation well.

I have no understanding of the underlying code but can see the difference between these products.

Thanks for the animated gif go out to MrYoda.

My thoughts for the new wave democratic republic party.

Reform the congress into a body of clearinghouse members with the purpose of bringing issues in clarity to the people of the republic. This would be through the means of the mail, internet and other forums of communication and ballot. This is presaged by Madison’s Federalist Paper 10. Wherein he argues that the large republic be better to guard against the dangers of factions with interests contrary to the rights and interest of others.

ABC becomes The Agenda Bigbrother Channel

Hmm, 1984 all over again. ABC will be broadcasting the Democrat party agendas from the WH to the American sheeple with no counter voices. My December 8 prediction of this sad state of affairs comes to pass.

Well he certainly has something on his thumb now. I think perhaps my Marxist estimation is proving correct. How’s socialism sound? Marxist socialism variety, oh no. The 1930’s version of the SPD. Getting better all the time eh? What’s the difference. It’s all state run business and human affairs administration. Hello that’s not what American Republic stands for! Not that the special interest groups and the elected lawmakers in Washington haven’t managed screw things up royal in the near past, but still. Welcome to the new era: The Democratic Socialist Republic of America. Has a nice ring to it. Though there may not be any states left to speak of when all is said done and through. God bless the Republic of Texas.

From the AP. And Byron York of the Washington Examiner: An Inspector General, Gerald Walpin is fired from his position without proper notice. One of the persons that provisioned the rules covering such behaviour is in fact our President, as Illinois State Senator. Gee. This’ll have repercussions[yeah right he says sarcastically]. I can hear the liberal media clamoring for explanation all the way down here in podunk county!
What coincidences could lie here and what consequences of these actions have been foreseen by the presidential puppet masters?

The timing sequence is better in this example. Also is reliable on multi line sMacros.
