Amazing Member # 5755	written Wednesday, November 1 2006 08:54 Profile #0 Since Thuryl mentioned it, sort of, I decided it is time again for the semi-regular unveiling of the Spiderweb moral/political compass. Take the test, then report back on your leanings. I'm a -2.88 on the economic scale, and -2.82 on the political scale. Whatever that means. :D -------------------- quote: Originally written by Kelandon: Well, I'm at least pretty sure that Salmon is losing. Posts: 4114 \| Registered: Monday, April 25 2005 07:00

Jumpin Salmon ? Man, ? Amazing Member # 5755	written Wednesday, November 1 2006 08:42 Profile #41 After some research, and a turning of the compost heap that is my brain, I see that FF6 is the only one I played. I quite enjoyed it, although I no longer have any console systems. Are there opportunities for playing it in, say, a PC environment? -------------------- quote: Originally written by Kelandon: Well, I'm at least pretty sure that Salmon is losing.

Amazing Member # 5755	written Wednesday, November 1 2006 08:21 Profile #3 quote: Originally written by The Worst Man Ever: I discussed a similar measure previously: the initiative, called TASC, shipped in petitioners from out of state and paid them by the signature. It was struck down by the Nevada Supreme Court before it got a chance to go to a vote, owing to its flagrant unconstitutionality (they also attempted to lump in a horrific measure that would have made non-participation a 'nay' vote). This is basically one of the most evil measures ever proposed. I'm all in favor of out of state interests paying local residents to gather signatures. It's good for the economy and removes some money from the mentally feeble. But to bring them in from out of state? That just frosts my shorts. I'm not saying I'd hurt 'em, but I'd definitely make 'em feel some pain. -------------------- quote: Originally written by Kelandon: Well, I'm at least pretty sure that Salmon is losing.

Jumpin Salmon ? Man, ? Amazing Member # 5755	written Tuesday, October 31 2006 22:27 Profile #0 Ballot Measure 48 This measure would amend the constitution. It would limit state spending to biennial increases that could no more than match population growth plus inflation. It uses CPI for inflation. Oregon statute currently limits spending to 8% of projected personal income. This amendment can be overruled by 2-3rds majority of each house plus a majority of general election voters. Aside - Most commonly compared to the Colorado TABOR bill, which was instituted in the 90's and recently suspended by popular vote. Differs in that TABOR limits government income through taxation, and uses the same measuring stick. Don McIntire is the author of this bill, as he was the author of Measure 5. Measure 5 was a bill which capped property tax increases to 3% per year. The end result was that schools failed, and the counties had to relinquish control to the state. Now all schools are funded by state government, whereas before they were locally funded. It has been posited that McIntire is seeking to abolish public education completely, as Measure 48 will sharply limit investment in the school system. At a recent debate, when asked, he said that he thought privatizing all education "wasn't such a bad idea." Arguments in Favor numbered 11 Arguments in Opposition numbered 46 This ballot measure is also known as "The Rainy Day Amendment" despite the lack of any provision for putting aside money for that rainy day. The full text can be found here. The supporters and detractors both have websites outlining their respective arguments. Civil discussion is encouraged and expected. As I've noted elsewhere, even though this is an Oregon question, a similar measure will be showing up on your ballot someday. There are no more local agendas. :) Poll Information This poll contains 1 question(s). 7 user(s) have voted.

The Bad Get Polling! in Blades of Avernum
Jumpin Salmon ? Man, ? Amazing Member # 5755	written Monday, October 30 2006 23:33 Profile #134 What interests me is that everyone is so careful to only release good scenarios. BoE has quite a few pieces of crap, and the author not only learned from the mechanical aspect of the process, but by the critical reviews of the the work. So, by all means work on those scenarios, and finish them. Once released, they can only make you a better designer. Or kill you. Either's possible. -------------------- quote: Originally written by Kelandon: Well, I'm at least pretty sure that Salmon is losing. Posts: 4114 \| Registered: Monday, April 25 2005 07:00

I have no qualm about submitting to someone who has proven themselves to me. So far though... your not doing a very good job. Actually, that was a pick-up line. It seems not to have worked, although it may in its new context. quote: Again: So far though... your not doing a very good job. Please, take a course in grammar. Too, to, two. Your, you're. It's simple and shows that you care about your thoughts and wish other people to understand them. Or you could be going for the complete uneducated look.

I asked how we were supposed to reward scientists for ideas that may or may not be useful for years after their deaths. This is not something that the economy can compensate for on it's own, with or without government regulation. If your new government had the extra room, a Patent Office would be helpful in organizing something like this. -------------------- quote: Originally written by Kelandon: Well, I'm at least pretty sure that Salmon is losing.
