Archaea, I am as geeky as they come and I agree with you about civil liberties.

I program in Pascal, which I know is Stone Age, but it seems to do the job and pay the bills. I also have done programming in APL and VBA. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/APL_(programming_language) Last edited by Indy Coug; 07-03-2007 at 11:17 PM. |

But you are not a coder, and in fact, you work in the real world, dealing with water purification, regulations, and you're just brighting than others. You can see what you can't experience.

Are some coders also exposed to real world problems? Obviously. But given Tex's irretrenchable defense of partyline Republican politics, defense of torture, defense of all pronouncements of Church lleaders, he seems to fall within my paradigm for coders, living a world of cyberspace where reality and theory never meet. If I were similarly insulated I might feel as he does.

You are attempting to say that an abridgment must happen to the "American people" before it is a problem. I pointed out that it IS happening to American people. Your issue with my statement is that my use of "American people" doesn't mean "lots of Americans" or even "most Americans" (which you are arguing must occur before you are concerned). |
