Mark Isham's "A Really Good Cloak" from the Crash Soundtrack. Here's a cool montage to Empire of the Sun (awesome movie!) someone made with it in it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GvtD-4dL38c

I'm pretty sure what we say about Hossa doesn't affect him a whole lot anyways.

Ah! He probably takes all sorts of performance enhancing drugs and all that. Good call on the Russian part. You're right. Human filth!

Egad... That might have been me! Haha, I have had my share of anti-capital punishment discussion too, so I want some credit. I can see where you are coming from Guard Dog. I guess it's just that in my experience, for the most part, I find people completely unyielding in their position and frequently it just gets hostile.

People say he sucks as a human? I think you're being a bit melodramatic.

I disagree! In the spirit of all the political talk, we must be personal and insulting. In fact, I find the more personal and insulting one is, the better their case! It's what politics has taught me! :D

I don't recall people saying anything of the sort for players like Sakic and Forsberg. Stevie Y never really struggled putting points up on the board in the playoffs either, and once he added a more defensive component to his game, he became freaking scary (having players like Fedorov and Lidstrom helping him up in the late 90s certainly didn't hurt either). Even with horrible knees in his later years he was still often the best player on the ice for his team in the playoffs.

Politics Rant Thread
I still vote. I make informed decisions based on party platforms and so on. I guess I just find discussing politics rather predictable. I almost got involved a few times on this forum, and I do sometimes make the odd comment, and the responses are pretty predictable. Sand will make a comment one way, Guard Dog will address it in a certain way, Taks will say something, and so on. I guess the thing I find is people fit so neatly into various voter archetypes that it's no longer really interesting. I guess the thing I have noticed is that it's always the same. I rarely have a political discussion where something novel is actually contributed. It seems I have heard it all before.

Politics Rant Thread
There's a provincial election coming up here in Alberta, and combined with all the fun discussion going on south of the border, politics is a hot topic. I find it annoying because people ask me my opinion on the stuff in the States, as well as locally, and when I tell them, unless my views match up with theirs perfectly, people either bite their tongues, let slip "well that's because....nevermind..." or just outright tell me I am wrong. It's quite a bit annoying and I am totally disenfranchised with the whole thing. It has gotten to a point where I simply do not discuss politics with anyone anymore. You will never find me judging someone because their political views do not coincide with mine. Why do I always feel judged, often by my closest friends (they are typically the tongue biters or have the "well that's because...nevermind" type comments). Anyways, that's my minirant.

I knew that Mass Effect was pretty much coming to the PC when Mass Effect was first announced years ago. I think it's only real news to you, because you really want it to be. Because you really want there to be a KOTOR 3, you'll take these pictures (and anything else) as a sign that it is the case.

It's not uncommon for governments to have systems in place to help protect against tyranny of the majority.
