    This is actually a tough one when you think about it and it certainly depends just how you are entwined into Facebook. Here's the way I see it, credit cards can be canceled nearly instantaneously, id's can be replaced in a matter of hours, cash is lost, but if something happens to your Facebook; hence you digital identity you are at the mercy of Facebook to get things back in place. While I've been lucky enough to avoid Facebook problems I know many people who have not been so lucky and getting Facebook to fix the problems was a time consuming process. Still this is a damn close call but Facebook just edges out with me primarily because I have a fan page as well.

    I've always liked this one better than any other military-based. Excluding the times I played with someone who was much more experienced than me... ...Ryan.

    Halo is indeed what I like to refer to as "Bad Ass". If you disagree with that statement I believe there's a word for that as well; "Pud".

    Just updating the count so far. Today is the Missouri county caucuses. Though it looks as if Santorum may win the state it is not clear that he will receive his share of the delegates as they do not make that decision until late April, at which point many delegates may choose to back Romney simply because of his current lead in the Republican nomination. Current list as follows:

    Romney: 484
    Santorum: 239
    Gingrich: 136
    Paul: 69

    The interesting thin about this count is that despite his lack of delegates thus far Gingrich has recently vowed to stay in the race up to and including attending the convention with the hopes of receiving his party's nomination. No word yet as to whether Paul will go that far.

    The current delegate count does not include "super-delegates". Though the majority once again have pledged Romney and Santorum.

    I'm taking a middle ground currently as I'm not very educated on the pipeline. While I understand the magnitude in jobs and dependence on foreign oil I'm not certain if there are numerous strings attached to the pipeline. I obviously lean more towards allowing the pipeline but when I have more time to research it further I may change sides.

    This particular issue came up in a recent rivalry. I was curious what some of you think about the bill passed by Congress and signed by President Obama in November of 2011. I have a few issues with the AUMF portion of the National Defense Authorization Act, but overall I do believe it necessary for the security of the United States. After reading quite a bit of the bill itself it became fairly apparent that this bill makes a very clear separation between an everyday normal lawbiding American citizen and a person whose affiliations with the Taliban or Al Qaeda are detrimental to the security of the United States. Now I know some of you love to bash Obama for his policies, and that's fine. You have every right to feel and voice your opinions about the matter. However, let's not forget that the powers to detain prisoners without due process were not created by President Obama, but his predecessor. This Act simply states that the current United States President still has that power, and Congress approved it. President Obama had serious reservations about signing it, but eventually did so in order to ensure funding for our troops and military. I sincerely doubt he has any intentions of hoarding American citizens into camps and detaining persons without due process of law any time soon. I know some of you may think that way, but I do not. Sometimes you simply have to take the bad with the good.

    As far as infringing upon our own rights as American citizens I saw nothing in the language of the bill that would suggest that the Executive branch of the United States was given any more authority that it did not already have as contained within Article 5 of the Bill of Rights. As far as I'm concerned President Bush did not overstep his authority with the initial action after 9/11 with the exception of other parts of the Patriot Act. The AUMF portion of both seemed to be inline with the Bill of Rights. I have no problem with it. What are your thoughts?
