The sci.electronics.design pledge

Who here will take the following pledge?

I [insert name here] do solemnly pledge that once the election
is over, my man has won or lost, and the opponent has dropped
all lawsuits challenging the result and accepted it, I will
GIVE IT A FSCKING BREAK in sci.electronics.design and will
talk about SOMETHING ELSE for a change.

Who is with me?

I'm with you, but the British Elections are coming up early next year
(allegedly) and in the interests of balance, it's only fair that we
discuss them to death here, just as the US elections have been. Just
enjoy the brief, quiet interval.

Unfortunately the elections may not be the end of it. If a certain
criminal is declared winner then the battle to cripple the p.o.s. to no
end will have begun. Apparently you have no concept of determination.

Guys like you are in the "reality-based community". You believe that solutions
emerge from your judicious study of discernable reality. That's called
empiricism -- the basis for science. But that's not the way things really work
anymore. When we prototype a circuit, we're creating our own reality. And
while you're studying the smoke and flame -- judiciously, as you will -- we'll
act again, creating other new realities, which you can study too, and that's
how things will sort out. We're history's actors -- and you, all of you, will
be left just to study the customer returns.

The divisiveness will not be mended by either a Bush or Kerry win. In

fact, it is likely that the situation would worsen after a change to
Kerry. There is even more motivation to impede the extreme dishonesty
associated with Kerry (to protect the nation) rather than just manifesting the
random immature rants of now fully exposed visceral hatred against Bush.

I think I just might learn a bit about your elections so that I can
help you. sci.electronics.design obviously need at least 10,000
posts about British politics. Every sci.electronics.design thread
has to be about British politics. Let's start as soon as the US
election is over, someone has won/lost, and his opponent has dropped
all lawsuits challenging the result and accepted it. At that point,
we can make this sci.electronics.design.and.talk.british.politics!
Great fun! Invite all your British friends! :)

That's the nicest compliment I have had all week. Thanks!

Hmmm. I wonder if there are any killfiled comments. (Checks log)
Yup. One post from Charles.Elliot@nospam.ca killed. Just as well,
I suppose; I have never seen any actual content come from that source.

You aren't fooling anyone. It's quite obvious that you Bush / Kerry
as an excuse for flaming certain other newsgroup participants.

There's a reason why this "political" stuff is everywhere. Unfortunately, it's
probably just going to get worse. If you've got a minute, read the article.

If somebody could just explain to me how your parliamentary system
really works, I might be able to work up some enthusiasm. Ditto for
cricket.

''But you can't run the world on faith.''

What a bleak, appalling thing to say. What else could you run the
world on? Why else would you have and love your children?

The Rules of Cricket
--------------------

You have two sides, one out in the field and one in.

Each man that's in the side that's in, goes out, and when he's out, he
comes in and the next man goes in until he's out.

When they are all out the side that's out comes in and the side that's
been in goes out and tries to get those coming in out.

Sometimes you get men still in and not out.

When both sides have been in and out including the not-outs, that's the
end of the game.

Howzat?
