Hello Folks!
Let me tell you about the Indians and the Pilgrims...

Or not!

What I find amazing is how some myths are so persistent and powerful within our American culture. In my view, the whole notion of Thanksgiving is a day where we can set aside our differences, and come together as a people and give thanks for what we have, and what we can share with each other.

Given how divisive our country has gotten lately; I think this whole idea is more important than ever.

Welcome to krwada's once-per-year Turkey Thread here at SP ... used to be Little Blue, now assimilated into the great Orange Collective.

Well, after much wrangling, and manuever, it appears as if SCO's goose is cooked to a very well done state. I know there a few of you tech geeky types out there!

Author's note; This post is about Guns!
This originally started out as a comment over at StreetProphets. I thought I was making a confession, but everybody there thought that this had high comedic value ... oh well!!!

Well... at least I thought I was being bad ... really, in the literal sense of the word! However, to my very right wing friends ... well, you decide! (You asked for letters. I hope email counts. I am only using 1st names to protect the innocent. All of these transactions occured at my client company, really!)

ok...
Let me tell you I really love coming here. I have been here for a pretty long time. I was told by other folks that having a UID less than 10000 here at the big Orange pretty much makes you an old timer. Out of all this time, I have heard about this mysterious beastie called a Trusted User, or 'TU' in short.

So says groklaw! What is SCO? What is LINUX you say? Well, this has been a Battle Royale that has been going on for a few years now. The reason why I am posting this, is because I am sure there are a few 'Geek' types that know what Linux, GPL, Open Source and all that stuff is all about.

This year I plan on getting more fit, and losing weight ... Heh; I think all of us are pretty much bombarded by this verse at this time of year. But enough about me, and everyone else that does New Year's Resolutions. Taking a cue from Arianna Huffington. This diary was cross posted over at www.streetprophets.com

I posted this over at Kos' sister site Street Prophets. I can definitely tell you that the right wing does not have a monopoly on this type of 'communication'. But they certainly seem better at it!

I am pretty much an old-timer here at Kos. My UID is 9325. I am told that anything less than 10000 is pretty old here at Kos. The basic reason why I am posting this is because I was intrigued by the demographic studies done here earlier. I noticed that a bunch of you are about middle age, and predominately male. So, what I was wondering was whether there are any of you that particpate in "Comment Blog Racing".

Now that it is 1-December-2006; I thought it would be a good idea, (plus fun!) to start a thread on Christmas, Holiday themed and related movies. Basically, the rules, (loosely that is), are as follows

US jobs, and expertise! We are currently suffering a serious brain-drain here in hi-tech USA. It is really astonishing to see. Here is a report that was suppressed for two! (2) years by the Bush administration. It pretty much debunks most of those Friedman-ian myths about outsourcing!

A more telling picture of the cost differential is shown here.

The most interesting phenomena, I have seen, is that the most vocal opponents to this outsourcing are the Indian expatriates currently working here in Silicon Valley!
