Yes, the entire government has lost its credibility. The whole thing. Every part of it can no longer be trusted with anything.
We should throw out the government and become an anarchist nation.
Really, though, most of the screwing happened during Bush's second term. I don't think many people could have seen the economic crisis coming when Kerry was turned down 5 years ago. The gas prices were the only thing people were worrying about. And if something wasn't done about the fall of Bank of America and Wachovia, we would currently be in the new great depression. Look at it like this: we've at least been able to hold onto stability by a strand just long enough to reach the helping hand that might pull us out of the hole. Emphasis on "might".

Due to past mistakes in the government, they lost all of their credibility. Even if a new guy steps in, people are still going to be sore against the system as a whole.

Fixed. I knew there'd be a problem with mapping when tired. At least now I don't have to eat my hat, which is convenient considering the fact that I don't have one.

Wow. Loved the detail and custom resources, which gave this a very fresh feel. Architecture, texturing, ambience.. All top-notch.
The only thing I think could use improvements is lighting. It's got an absolutely lovely duskish skybox, yet the area's flooded with flourescent bluish/white. Toning down the brightness and giving it a more natural warm tone would really improve the map's serene feel.
Clipping out areas is usually somewhat frustrating; I can see why you'd do it with trees, though areas like the waterfall should stay unclipped.
5* for the huge effort nonetheless (chaeng lightningz pl0x!)

Absolutely lovely. Simple & small, yet it captures the theme & feel awesomely. The fountain was a great touch, yet could have used some kind of oriental twist to it. Not quite sure what to suggest here though.

Sorry if I'm getting this wrong or are most of the American people posting bagging Obama? I would have thought that after what you had for 8 years, Obama is the first good thing America's had for a long time. He's so obviously the best man for the job, it just ain't funny.

Seems like $500 could have gone to a better cause than funding this guy's campaign ads/dinner parties/limo rides/YouTube account management... but hey, it's a free country, and it sure as hell isn't my money.

Wow, weak. I've been shaving my face regularly since I turned 15. However I've never come anywhere close to having sex with a girl (or boy for that matter :S ), so you're way ahead of me, partner.
And don't put that shit on your car, seriously. It'll just look like hell. eBay it ASAP and put it towards a turbo kit or new computer or something worthwhile.

Ok i have time to give a proper review...
This map blew me away from the screenie and the actual map was even better than i imagined. I was really like "holy shit" and "fuck" walking through the map...simply sexelent.
++Rimrook Textures never disappoint = ) +Superb brushwork, if not a bit thick or blocky on some trims and pillars imo. +custom sky +Lighinng +Neat fake HDR if not a little overdone ++Rimrook Models. Though the sexy gir's face was a little man-ish imo! = ) ++excellent use of transparent textures for the trees ++excellent use of sounds
The only other comment i can think of atm is i felt as if the map in general felt like it was scaled a little too big. I think if you shrunk everything by 1/3 or a little less it would be even better.
Oh btw i did notice some disappearing brushes in the river in places, and i think srry mentioned that the "max viewable distance" could be increased, since some stuff disappears if in a few parts of the map.

"we will publish all non-emergency legislation to the website for five days, and allow the public to review and comment before the President signs it."
this is actually pretty cool when you think about it.

As long as you tell them what they want to hear, you should be fine, so don't worry.
