    Libertarianism - the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly

    I guess I don't understand where you are coming from. You can't just blame the rest of the first world for the military spending going on the U.S. without someone asking for clarification.

    Civilization V: Brave New World

    I use a 5870 as well, but it crashes in DX10/11 mode pre-G&K and post. I'm not smart enough to figure out what the problem is but I think I'm going to format my hard drive soon then buy a slightly newer graphics card and see how that goes.

    E-reader or tablet

    I have a kindle paperwhite and you can read pdfs on it. I really like the device, but it is not good for academic purposes since there is no way to tell what page you are on. I hope they can update the software to fix that eventually.

    RIP(or is it RIH?) Hugo Chavez

    As far as I know, that confrontational rhetorical stance taken by Chavez was a hallmark of the Soviet communist "revolution", no? It is arrogant and dismissive of other ideas, but a confrontational position certainly can be attractive to the uneducated poor and middle class.
