Comments on: An Appeal http://www.callingallwingnuts.com/2006/03/15/an-appeal/ Kickin' ass on the lyin' side: A never-ending battle against stupid, ugly, deceitful and corrupt right-wing water carriers... Tue, 6 Jan 2009 02:25:18 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.2.1 By: bodhi http://www.callingallwingnuts.com/2006/03/15/an-appeal/#comment-985 bodhi Sun, 19 Mar 2006 02:50:08 +0000 http://www.callingallwingnuts.com/2006/03/15/an-appeal/#comment-985 And ignore what DaveM said. First, the suction cup thing SUCKS. It works by picking up the vibration of the speaker through the plastic case. This means it doesn't record your own voice worth crap and it often doesn't record the caller very well either. If you're using a phone with the Vonage setup, the second method he suggests is good. There are actually two models that work just as well as each other with some differences. The $15-ish model is good only for phones with the curly cords (that's where it plugs in) and does an excellent job. The $25-ish model will work even on cordless models because it sits between the jack and the phone itself. Also, it can be set to record any calls to that phone bus (any phones in the house on that number). That feature probably doesn't help you any. But again, I implore you to look at the legal aspects of this a bit closer. Check this out. http://www.rcfp.org/taping/ Jason And ignore what DaveM said.

For example, in Rhode Island it is legal to record the conversation if only one party (me) knows it's being recorded. However in Massachusetts, both parties must be notified. Here's the tricky part. The law that applies is the one in which the "complainer" resides. If I was in Rhode Island and called someone in Massachusetts and I recorded their phone call, and they brought it to court, Massachusetts law would apply. One "question mark" is whether the area code applies or the physical location of the wounded party applies. For example, what if someone from MA calls someone with a RI number who happens to be on their cellphone sitting in a MA restaurant? Does MA law apply or RI? I have no idea. I love this site and I'd hate to see it shut down. I'd STRONGLY recommend you consult with a lawyer.

Because for years,I've heard from republiCON's that privatization is the way to go. That the US government has NO business running things that can be privatized......With that in mind,why would republiCONS want a business-owned by and operated by a foreign government/the royal family of Dubai- to operate the mangement of our ports? Next thing ya know,the republiCONS will seek the government of Saudi Arabia....Or perhaps the government of France, to operate our Social Security System....Hmmm.

That is very childish behavior to me. I do not support extremist comments made by Coulter or any other person on either side of the aisle. Both sides have people that say extreme and/or dumb things.
