- Dean Robinson - Spore is a terrific game!Spore brings a new level to gaming with a fun mix of creativity, strategy and infinite variety.
The game play is fun and extremely addicting. For me, creating the creatures, the wide variety of buildings, land, sea, air and space vehicles and even your civilization's "national anthem" is very satisfying. This really is a universe as your toy box.
And the replay value is wonderful because there are a wide variety of play styles you can use. And each results in different types of options available when building your creatures and their amenities.
As for the copy protection, too many people are popping veins over it: I paid for the game. I've NEVER had to reinstall a game more than once, but if I DID run out of installations, I would simply download the pirated version and have no guilt whatsoever. RELAX. - John B. Jenkins "John B. Jenkins" - If you want to understand modern American policing, you must read this bookBooks about aspects of United States history often must first dip their toes into the waters of English history just to give context to the later U.S. developments and Radley Balko's "Rise of the Warrior Cop" is no exception. Beginning by explaining to the reader the Castle Doctrine that is the ultimate source of much of the Bill of Rights, Balko proceeds to show how the federal governmnet, through grant programs and the perverse expansion of the war on drugs (which is of course a war on users and sellers of drugs, since to date the drugs have refused to offer battle) has put at risk the lives of innocent bystanders and police through escalating violence in the service of that war.
While the federal government lavishes money and military hardware on towns of every size across the United States as a result of the outsized fear of terrorism the government and media conspire to keep fanned as hot as possible, those same small municipalities, lacking actual terrorist threats against which to use their new military equipment, repurpose it for the enforcement of the country's draconian drug laws. Then, through the legal mechanism of asset forfieture, the same municipalities make crime pay (for them) by seizing the assets of the guilty, the vaguely implicated and the completely innocent in equal measure, in many cases denying defendants access to the funds required to mount a defense and giving local government a profit motive to acquire and use more and more military equipment.
As a consequencence of these programs and incentives, policing has transformed from the Mayberryesque ideals of serving and protecting the community, to the rhetoric of "us versus them" with police having been inculcated to believe that every non-police person is an enemy or a threat, which leads to the absurities of people with down syndrome, who are at best threats to themselves, and then only accidentally, who are killed by police without malice, just because that is the inculcated response when someone does not properly submit to police authority. If you want to truly understand how we got from Mayberry (and, bellieve it or not, police really did behave like that at one time, not toward everyone, but it did happen!) to a pseudo-Beiruit, you owe it to yourself to read this book becaue Balko shows you step by step how we got from there to here without it being anyone's intentional design to do so (and with many of the architects today regretting what they had done).
One final caveat: this book is not anti-police. There are many wonderful police who still believe in and behave according to an ethos of serve and protect, and without police it goes without saying that society would be terribly worse off, but the book does clearly and eloquently critizize the policies from the federal government on down that give incentives for some officers and departments to behave in very dangerous ways.
[I should note by way of potential conflict, when I was laid up from cancer surgery, Radley Balko was kind enough to provide me with a PDF of the book that I could read before it was published. I still purchased a copy, so the only result of the PDF was for me to be able to read the book early and to evidence what a kind and gracious person Radley really is.] - Rick Daniel - Zealot confirmed it for meThis book is excellent. I expect it will raise the hairs on the backs of many people because it will challenge their beliefs about Jesus Christ. This book really isn't about Jesus Christ but about society before, during and long after Jesus of Nazareth lived.
It is an excellent accounting about Palestine and the culture during the time and place where Jesus comes from. It delves deeply into the Jewish experience dating back to David and provides a thorough look at what was occurring then and, remarkably, even to this day.
From a historical standpoint, to know a culture is to understand a people. This book provides the backdrop for those who truly want to know Jesus, who he was and why he lived.
Knowing this Jesus will strengthen one's faith, not diminish it because when we see how average he was for his times, we cannot help but be amazed at what his name has accomplished.
Whether those achievements have been beneficial or detrimental to the human species is still debatable. - Don Tadixz "thunda downunda" - Made the change and glad I did!Replaced my expired McAfee subscription with Norton Internet Security 2012 and am pleased as punch. Scans are quick and first time around found items McAfee had missed. It appears not to be a resource hog and updates it self quietly in the background. I had previously gone off Norton as it had become bloat ware but the continually great reviews for this product in PC Magazines and akeen price point persuade me to give it a try and I'm glad I did...
