"Posted No Trespassing" The reason it says posted is it legislated by the Texas House/senate and signed into law by our governor. With out the "Posted" part, the sign holds no legal standing.

Problem solved! I've done the "I'll just browse the internet till I'm sleepy, if I'm going to be up I might as well be on the internet" thing, and I always end up staying awake till like 5am. Damn internet. Do coke all week, then take valiums on the weekend. Problem solved!

I went off on a completely different tangent, mostly because I'm mildly outraged at some of the things we, as average citizens, are forced to foot the bill for, while special interest groups think they should be able to dictate where our money is or isn't spent. Ultimately, Obama is going to disappoint. He's been built up to be this godlike figure by the racists in the media and the far left, but in the end he is a politician. We just spent the last 8 years going along with everything the bush administration and somehow convinced ourselves that one man could, in four years, not only reverse all the damage done, but make our country more prosperous than ever, solve the financial and energy crises, save the environment, and cure aids and cancer. To me, that's about as sensible as an atheist waiting for the second coming. TL:DR, fail government is fail. Right.

But thats why I only take issue with the small step of Obama's justification and people handling skills. I can't really hold a valuable discourse on government fundamentals because I believe the very concept to be flawed and useless. I really see no greater purpose to governance, and it doesn't do any intrinsic good so its so subjective that it doesnt matter what happens, precisely for situatuons like the one you raised.

There is no way he can possibly fulfill the expectations half the country has of him. If he's lucky, he might almost get us out of the hole the bush administration dug us into. I'm not disappointed, because I expected nothing of him to begin with. As far as stem cell research goes, I believe it's the conscientious thing to do if you're into preserving life. Some people believe that having a massive standing military is also a conscientious thing to do if you wish to preserve life. My tax dollars funds the bloated military, which I regard as immoral, so why shouldn't the pro-lifers' tax dollars fund stem cell research? Just because you don't agree with something doesn't mean it's off the table for public funding. Obama was set up to disappoint.
