 Re: Canon 5D Mark II master thread | |
i hardly think we have beenunder the control of liberals all this while, haha.
as for the liberal northeast and crime and so on, i honestly feel 100x safer back up north than in conservative small town south, seems to be way more shooting and so on per capita down here in nice looking areas where you would never dream it would be occuring.
yeah, people did get a little out of control with the mortages and all and wall street got a bit out of control with magically writing away risk and so on.
anywy back to the topic, the invisible points would hopefully make it easier to have the ai servo focus stay locked on target if you accidentally move the center AF point off target for an instant. Not sure how it works on the 5D, but it does seems to help a little on the 1 series.

The handgun issue doesn\'t have much to do with the economy, however this second issue you mention is extremely significant--it\'s at the base of the problems of the US economy--and it\'s gotten little real notice.
Ironically, perhaps, McCain is on records as saying that the export of production capacity is not a problem (his suggestion was just to train workers to take \"better jobs\"), while Obama listed it as a major problem to be addressed.
I took an economics class at the University of the Philippines in the mid-80s, where at one point the professor noted: \"The Philippines will always be a third world country because we export tomatoes and import tomato paste.\" He was right, and I\'ve been watching that exact thing happening to the US since 1989.
Notice, this isn\'t something confined to one party or the other--both parties and our top financial interests have been exporting production capacity to China as rapidly as possible--touting the incredibly stupid concept of \"the US is a consumer economy.\" That\'s the most imbecilic thing I\'ve ever heard. A \"consumer economy\" is like a household where nobody has a job and everyone goes to the mall.
I agree with you fully, but I don\'t think Obama saying loss of manufacturing is \"a major problem to be addressed\" helps much either. I\'m afraid that Obama\'s solution to not being able to support and upgrade our military hardware, is to just not have any more wars. Good luck on that one.
I mentioned the handgun issue, because it is a pet project of the left (including the U.N.) to disarm American citizens, and because it has already happened in Canada.
As long as our country is controlled by liberals and corporate CEO\'s making $20 million per year by exporting jobs, and then buying congressmen and senators, we\'re going to increasingly lose our ability to defend our nation or have an economy. We will be \"exporting tomatos and importing tomato paste.\" Actually, we import tomatos AND tomato paste, come to think of it. Oh, #&@%!
I\'m afraid we may be a consumer economy. Look at the last ten years. People bought houses they couldn\'t afford with mortgages way beyond any hope of repayment. They bought everything in the mall with the credit cards offered them at the rate of two or three per week, and then making minimum payments or no payments. Americans were buying everything in sight with money they didn\'t have. Now the government says we have to help them keep their homes and they\'re even proposing to require foregiveness of credit card debt by the banks that we\'re also supporting with our tax dollars.
Guess what, my friend? We are a consumer economy. But like that family with no job going to the mall, eventually that comes to a painful end--and that is precisely what is happening now. No credit, no retail sales.
Meantime, 48% of income tax returns qualify for the Earned Income Credit. 48%. That\'s getting dangerously close to the point where welfare recipients could determine the outcome of elections. Legalizing 20 million illegals could just put it over the 50% mark. And, as you know, that is when a Democracy comes to an end. We are the new third world.
How\'s that for grim? Let\'s get back on topic. What are those invisible AF assist points, anyway?
