By this point, most Americans have made up their minds about who they are going to vote for President come Election Day. But if you are still trying to decide, or just want to reassure yourself that you are indeed voting for the candidate who most closely reflects your views, take the Glassbooth Quiz. The site is run by a non-partisan, non-profit organization (or so it claims). You tell the site what your positions are on a range of issues, and it spits back compatibility scores for each of the Presidential candidates (including third-party candidates Ralph Nader, Cynthia McKinney, and Bob Barr). You can try it just to make sure you really are on the same page with your preferred candidate.
Here’s how it works. First, you indicate which issues you care about the most by distributing 20 points among 16 different topics (Taxes and Budget, Science, Civil Liberties and Domestic Security, Iraq and Foreign Policy, Internet and Media, Trade and Economics, Environment and Energy, Gun Control, etc.)
Then you are asked a series of questions, whether you support or oppose policy proposals such as tax cuts for the middle class or enforcing net neutrality. Each question has a rating scale from “Strongly oppose” to “strongly support”:
Once you finish the quiz, it shows you how you match up overall to each candidate, and issue by issue. You can then drill down by issue and read the candidates’ statements on each one, with links to the sources. It is a good way to start evaluating the candidates across more than one or two hot-button issues. You might even be surprised to find out who you agree (or disagree) with the most.
Unfortunately, many Americans are NOT sure who they will vote for!
One suspects Older Americans are still in denial about racism
Wonder how many of those who claim they will support Obama in the polls, will do so come election day.
If he in fact loses, it will be a horrible shadow over America that the rest of the world will see
Actually, if Barak Hussein Obama becomes the president, a true “horrible shadow will be cast over America” –Because of so many reasons: Obama has nothing to offer, other that his lack of experience and his socialism tendencies, shown since his early days in Chicago: friends [still, today] with William Ayres of a known terrorist organization [yes! Just Google it] who is a pal to Hugo Chavez the Venezuelan dictator, who is like a “brother” to Fidel Castro and Co.
It makes sense now that he said that he will meet with known terrorists around the world “without preconditions”, like a true ‘buddy’ and that he will ‘redistribute the wealth’ in America, just like in a communist country and, no surprise, he will ‘reform’ the ‘unfair and broken’ health care system in the US, just like in a communist country. Hillary really understands this…
Barak Hussein Obama is a clear and present danger for the American citizens who appreciate and love our country.
We MUST defeat him o November 4.
You got a lot more out of this quiz than I did.
just a couple more weeks and you can start saying PRESIDENT Barack Hussein Obama. i can’t wait until we divvy up your trailer park. dibs on your gun!
1. Shut your face. Seriously.
2. Instead of throwing out generalities (eg. “he has nothing to over”), use specifics. Compare McCain to Obama, show us where we’re wrong.
3. Drop the Ayers shit. Obama was 8 during that stuff. Shockingly, Ayers has changed from a young radical to an older educator. Who knew, right?
i’m pro-Palin, regardless of which party she stands on.
so her team gets my vote.
Nalin Palin now on DVD
This Election will be Stolen. “Let There Be No Doubt” JM.
StolenLocator.com
Pretty cool ! I actually saw them present at WebInno in Boson – http://www.webi...vatorsgroup.com
That is the worst piece of propaganda I have seen in quite a while…
I especially like how Iraq and Foreign policy are a single item, and all the foreign policy questions are about Iraq.
Man… where to begin….
OK I guess I am voting for Bob Barr!
It says I should waste my vote and vote for Bob Barr.
sounds like a plan:
“John McCain shares a 69% similarity with your beliefs”"
I thought I knew who I was voting for and then this post. What a freaking incredible and fun way to inform voters.
A total gullible retard…
Erick –Shame on you!!! Do you really believe that Ian Manheimer’s Glassbooth.org is a “non-partisan, non-profit organization”???
Then, you must also believe that Moveon.org is run the the Sisters of The Immaculate Conception!!!
You are a shameless idiot.
Peter
Glassbooth.org / Ian Manheimer venture is backed, behind the scenes, of course, by one of George Soros’ organizations, who for years now has used his unlimited resources to influence the [free and demoratic] political structure in the US.
He has repeatedly failed so far, due to resilience and fundamental fairness of true American citizens who love our country.
Yes, George Soros is an American citizen now, but only because he has bought the right people in Washington.
So what’s the deal Erick? Either you didn’t didn’t know glassdoor.org isn’t a non-partisan organization, in which case you should correct your blog entry, or you’re knowingly deceiving your readers… which is it?
As far as I know, they are not backed by Soros. What makes you think that they are? I called them, and they told me Soros is not a funder or associated with the site.
Regardless, the organization describes itself as non-partisan and is open to suggestions as to how it can improve the questions and issues it highlights.
So what’s the deal with these deceptive comments?
Erick, please! Do you really believe that Manheimer & Co. / Glassbooth.org would tell you who their backers are?
Why do you call comments that do not agree with yours, *deceptive*?
Your intolerant attitude certainly does not reflect well on Techcrunch. Hope that Arrington takes a look at this.
One of my neighbors works at Moveon.org and after reading the Glassbooth.org post I asked him about his organization. He actually told me [I swear] that they are a “non-partisan, balanced, not-for profit organization founded with the purpose of providing clarity and truthfulness to the all-important mainstream political processes in the country” He lied through his teeth and I thought that we were friends.
So, you see, Erick, if my neighbor told me all that, I must believe him –the same way you believe what you are told by the guys at Glassbooth.org… Right?
Bob
From MoveOn’s Tax return (Bob- You need to tell your neighbor to read this)
“Organizing and Outreach (Partisan): Informing our members and the general public about, and working with other groups to counter the right-wing bias in the mass media. These activities are classified as partisan due to the content of the message and/or the targeted placement of the activity. This does not include separate activities of MoveOn. org Political Action, which files reports with the Federal Election Commission.”
clearly some bugs in it – clicking ‘view your results’ gives me someone else’s results. it was able to detect that i think all the candidates suck though. good job.
The facebook application hasn’t kept up with FB’s API changes and is quite rough around the edges at this point. Updated version with new features and, most importantly, bug fixes, is being released this coming weekend.
If we dig deep into the site we will find a LOT of stuff favoring Obama and against Sarah Palin and McCain, mostly underhanded lies.
This is NOT a ‘non-partisan’ site as stated on the post. It is a shameless, deceptive attempt to misinform the public, mostly young voters.
It says I should vote for…
RALPH NADER?!
NNNOOO…!
(Haha… as if.)
It does? I tried like four times and comes up with Obama every single time -But I really hate the guy! He is (kind of desperate, I think) promising everything to everybody, just like the slimy politician he is.
I am voting for Palin-McCain. You should too: it is OUR future (I will be 23 next week)
Yes and what a great future it will be. Limitations on woman’s rights, higher taxes for the middle class and the continuing belief that the “trickle down” system works, regardless of the results. What a great future!
Yeah, it told me I’m a Nader lover too. Am I? Or maybe this thing IS rigged. Now I don’t know what to believe.
It’s still a pretty cool app.
Yeah. The site and the app are great, but the actual intention/purpose is damaging because of the deception. I think that is better to REALLY pay attention to all the candidates’ experience and vision of the future and the actual consequences of what they intend to do. Frankly, I don’t like that Obama is friends with (domestic, they say) terrorists of any kind. We are engaged in wars now because of the terrorists actions against our country. Now, do you think that we *really!* need a terrorist sympathizer as our president –and Commander in Chief of the American armed forces? I don’t.
McCain barely beat out Bob Barr for me. Obama came in third, although I am not too surprised as the only thing I agree on with him is how to deal with Paskistan and Afghanistan (his “tax plan” is a joke, as he merely gives people “credit” which is not the same as a tax cut).
And before you call me racist or some garbage like that, you might want to check out my tan (as its probably darker than yours).
why are there no questions like, “do you want a socialist as president?” on the quiz? oh, wait, most ppl don’t even know what that means. sorry.
They certainly know what it means. But Glassbooth.org is another, sort of stealthy, if you wish, entity part of the socialist liberal drones, like the NY TImes, Washington Post/Newsweek, LA Times, and countless other “independent, non-partisan” web sites and talking heads like Brokaw, Couric, Rather, the dinosaurs at ‘60 Minutes,’ etc.
We all have to keep in mind that these folks want to destroy the US as we know it: [don't laugh!] the land of democracy and freedom.
Also, think for a moment about this: Silicon Valley [innovation, new ideas, new companies] could never happen in Russia, Venezuela, Cuba or on any other socialist/communist country. Only in our country.
Yes, it’s all a vast left-wing, right-wing conspiracy. In fact, it goes all the way around.
It does go all the way around. But, again, it is OUR future!
Hillary came up with the famous “right wing conspiracy” when Bill was accused [and convicted] of perjury –Her own words came back to haunt her. He was certainly guilty.
Regarding the ‘left wing’ conspiracy –But wait, let’s not call it a ‘conspiracy.’ What would you really, Erick, wish for your and your family future? A central government that would intrude in all aspects of our life: our jobs, what we drive, what we eat [or drink], the clothes we wear, who we talk to? And of course! Go to government-owned health clinics and hospitals if we are sick?
The federal government has a dismal record on managing anything: think of the Medicare and taxation systems, the immigration control system!!!
We already have some information about government-controlled socialists societies: Obama and his supporters are working really, really hard to drag us all into that kind of situation…
Now, please tell me, what your own choice would be on November 4?
I will vote for Palin-McCain. So is my family, my relatives, my neighbors, my co-workers, etc. They certainly understand the danger that Obama represents.
Allison
C’mon Erick! Re-post my comment! If you don’t, we will certainly know your true colors: you DO know what Glassbooth.org represents, and that you are an OBAMA supporter, Which makes Techcrunch.com the same… So much for your “impartiality and fairness” You LIAR!!!
Erick, I read Allison post and it was by no means offensive. Why did you remove it? It was a well-written and expressed opinion, contributing some clarity to the blog.
I am disappointed at you, man.
Ditto to Paul. Erick, what is wrong with you? Allison’s comment is not leftist enough for your taste?
Please re-post Allison’s comment. Thanks.
Erick, I am beginning to understand your motives now: If posts and/comments are not favorable to Obama, you just remove them?
Intolerance is certainly another face of liberal socialism.
Shame on you.
I’m not sure what you are talking about. Allison, your original comment is still up there. I didn’t remove it.
It is possible a comment got taken down by someone else on the team. Usually we only do that for hate speech, though. You’re not a hater, are you, Allison?
No. I only hate my thighs, and my boyfriend when he lies to me. Which is *ALL* the time. In a way, he is like Slick Willie, always looking at Monica-like chicks, you know, short and fat…
Allison mentions Kathie Couric on her post. I remember her interview with Sarah Palin a few weeks ago. Of course I knew what Couric was going to do, but I could not watch more than 2-3 minutes of that.
It hit very close to home, because my older sister, a brilliant and accomplished mother of four kids, is in many ways the “Sarah Palin of our family.” She is great, having a great family and being one of the top execs at a Fortune 100 companies. Great accomplishments.
Could not believe the small-minded ferocity showed by Couric coming after Palin. But no surprise there: these liberal/socialists truly believe that they are better than anyone else, believing that they own our country’s future… Arrogant bastards! Let’s vote for Palin-McCain on November 4.
have any of you even opened up the link to the website? what are you talking about? look through where they placed each candidate on the issues – it shows evidence for every assertion it makes the whole way through with research to prove it… its just about as transparent as you can get. do yourselves a favor and actually look through this thing before you make yourself look like a conspiracy theorist moron anonymously…
Sorry. I’ve had too many vodka shooters to think straight.. If i can get another drink, I will believe and do anything!!!!!!
I like it..I already know who I am voting for, and he came in 3rd place. I’m just glad he was on the map, although I knew he would be.
My name is Ian. I am the Executive Director of Glassbooth. Saw some of these comments and talked to Erick who recommended I post a response.
a) We are not funded in any way by George Soros. All of the donors to the site can be found here: http://www.glas...booth.org/about. They are family and friends who chipped in to get this project made and we thank them greatly for it. Also as a 501c3 we publish all of our 990s publicly so go see for yourself.
b) Glassbooth is about honesty and openness. We anticipated people on message boards making claims of bias so we built the site with 100% transparency. Every score in the site is documented with rationale which links to the original source. Judging from the results on the comment board (two for Barr, two for Nader, one for McCain, one for Obama) you can see that it does not deliver biased results.
That’s the deal. The site is going to surface surprises for a lot of people and that is a good thing. The goal is that you leave the experience knowing more than when you came in which is a win for democracy. Thanks to everyone for checking it out.
Ian, I am so relieved that you are posting this clarification:
“Glassbooth is about honesty and openness. We anticipated people on message boards making claims of bias so we built the site with 100% transparency”
Now, I feel so secure [and warm] that you and your organization are the champions of the truth, all around…
A nagging little question arises: Why did you anticipate those “people on message boards making claims of bias?” It is because you state that you “built the site with 100% transparency” we must all believe you? Think that you are either very naive or that you expect everyone to be very naive and trusting. We are not all teenagers, you know?
Please read my previous post:
“One of my neighbors works at Moveon.org and after reading the Glassbooth.org post I asked him about his organization. He actually told me [I swear] that they are a “non-partisan, balanced, not-for profit organization founded with the purpose of providing clarity and truthfulness to the all-important mainstream political processes in the country” He lied through his teeth and I thought that we were friends.
So, you see, Erick, if my neighbor told me all that, I must believe him –the same way you believe what you are told by the guys at Glassbooth.org… Right?
Bob”
I can’t speak to the fairness of your algorithm, other than to say Obama sure comes up in the top 3 no matter what I put in.
But what I can speak to is the the obvious selection bias in the topics you picked (e.g., focusing the foreign policy debate on Iraq) and the more subtle emotional manipulations of word choice that will bias people towards pro-left answers, e.g., do you support “increase in taxes for the wealthiest Americans” vs. “tax cuts for middle-class families.”
I can’t speak to your motives, but whether there is manipulative intent or simply a lack of critical analysis, there is obvious bias in your questions, the validity of which would be destroyed in any academic peer review.
I thought I remembered seeing the process through which you get your score on their blog some time back. Looks straightforward: http://glassboo...h-how-it-works/. It sounds like the reason you only got questions on Iraq was because you didn’t allocate enough points to that issue.
As for wording, what’s wrong with describing the top 5% or whatever it is as the wealthiest Americans? John McCain wants less taxes for everybody. Obama wants tax cuts for most people and tax increases on the top 5% or so. Some people want less taxes for everybody, so they’re aligned with McCain or Barr. Others want to tax the rich, so they’re with Obama, Nader, and McKinney. What’s the issue?
I agree that there will always be some hint of bias because the designers of this site are human like the rest of us, but it seems pretty clearly designed to be fair to all sides and candidates.
I applaud the candid responses that you have made. I have taken the quiz from when you had a whole slate of potential candidates early in the debate process to now when the field has narrowed- and have been continually updated and informed. Kudos on your non biased reporting- and the people who feel that the site is biased are full of crap.
Awesome. Freakin’ sweet right before elections…
I mean, this thing is a clumsy, phony attempt to deceive people. It is not, by any means ‘unbiased’ as you state. Shame on you Ian!!!
If you think a web app is going to tell me how to vote, then you are clearly insane.
Hey cfolounge, thanks for the tip. Why doesn’t the rest of the republican party let us know how many votes Florida is going to get this November – then we can talk about unbiased.
Another way to go about using this site to understand who you align with is to try the “explore candidate” feature (http://glassbooth.org/explore/) and see if your issues actually match up. Instead of trusting someone else’s algorithm you can decide if you really align with the first-hand candidate videos and secondary web research.
Hope that was helpful.
Well, another hyper-sensitive liberal… Another one that would be outraged, yelling “unfair!!!” — if *anybody* mentions Barak Hussein Obama’s use of cocaine, friendship with terrorists -domestic and foreign, total *TOTAL* ignorance of economics and lack of experience on anything, with the probable exception of shameless self-promotion, stating that he *already is The President,* meeting with Nancy Pelosi Harry Reid to work on policies…
You clueless drones!
PS Barak Hussein WILL bite the dust on November 4!!!
I’m sorry, but Sarah’s post is just downright hypocritical…You elected G.W. Bush not once, but twice. He used coke, he was friends with REAL terrorists – trained and funded bin laden, he (and George Sr.) let Saddam remain in power and then changed minds b/c supposedly we get more and cheaper oil (sure), his push to deregulate has now left our economy in shambles. Having experience only counts if it’s GOOD experience. Would you hire someone to work for you if they repeatedly got fired or were considered terrible by all their former employers? Of course not. But that’s what you did 2x.
Let’s do a quick snapshot of how we rank against the world using your prior political judgement these last 8 years
Economy – ’nuff said, in shambles, our woes are now hurting the rest of the world
Foreign Policy – No leg to stand on, other countries hate us (even allies), US is a joke, US ignores UN
Environment – behind other countries b/c big oil and big auto own the US, US doesn’t sign Kyoto accord
Healthcare – lagging even some “third-world” countries
The list goes on…
Bottom line is that when a company is failing based on a fundamental philosophical approach, you fire the CEO and you don’t hire one of his “yes men” who will continue that philosophy. McCain and his party for the last 8 yrs have had their turn and proven only one thing – that they DON’T know how to run a country, a state (ethically), a town, a company, or even a household and that they have one agenda on their minds – using politics to increase their personal wealth.
I would rather trust new blood (i.e., hire outside the company) in this case…It’s time for new management.
Sincerely,
“Sensitive Liberal”
Gosh, man!!! Your ignorance is really scary!!! You must be a f****g clueless European. Every single line of your post is misinformed crap!!
Your must be drinking the half-black liberal/socialist Kool-Aid… Either that or you are one of the brainless minions getting paid by Barack Hussein…
We always need *change* –it is the nature of life and progress, but with Obama, we should *change* into WHAT????? He really has no clue and, however, like a damn lawyer, talks from both sides of his mouth…
Sorry if you don’t get it.
I believe Robert O’Brien settled this for all of us. He has a neighbor. And that neighbor works for MoveOn.org. This neighbor said the site is non-partisan, balanced, not-for profit organization. But Bobby here doesn’t buy it. Nope, not for one second! He has a hunch. And that hunch is that his so called ‘friend’ lied to him! So put that in your pipe and smoke it Mr. Manheimer.
Man, I’m so scared that our beacon of freedom country will turn Socialist. If Barack HUSSEIN Obama becomes President, we will instantly renounce capitalism. The free market will end and life as we know it will be OVER. Oh wait, whats that? My ten year old cousin just said something about Checks and Balances. She learned about it in class today. But never mind that, GET THIS TERRORIST LOVING S.O.B. OUT OF OUR COUNTRY!
@MHC? Why remain so anonymous? Frankly, it is difficult to understand your post.
Sarcasm? Stupidity? Or just the rant of a sexually frustrated teen?
Anyway, if Obama is our next president, it would not be that bad, after all. Let’s consider this: he and the liberal/socialist Congress will tax every American to the hilt. Then, they would send our money to poor terrorist countries. Of course, Barak and Michelle would live as royalty in the newly painted “Black” House, at 1600 Pennslvania Ave. where they will entertain the leaders of Iran, Sudan, North Korea, Venezuela, etc.
And another thing: Islam would become the dominant religion in the US and the Obamas would really get busy bringing half of Africa to the *land of the free* –or used to be.
Sorry, you’re right. MHC is too anoynmous. Molly, you can call me Mike. Or Mikey, which ever you prefer.
Sexually frustrated teen? No, no, no, no. I attended the Sarah Palin University of Abstinence Education. I learned to wait. This is a choice Molly. A choice I’m excited to make every day.
Great point about Islam though. Send a shiver down my back.
Still, you are hard to read. Sarcasm and passive aggression again.
OK, the lotion is on the medicine cabinet and, don’t forget, watch for excessive hair growth on you hand…
I can’t believe I just wasted 10 minutes of my life listening to this crap.
This must be the post with the most intelligent comments on TechCrunch, ever… Seriously: TechCrunch readers can’t possibly be that uneducated, so my guess is they’re trying to send a message to the editors, which is to stop posting anything related to this election?
T Robert Basil and Eric –Nobody invited you two to TC: you are here voluntarily. And if TC readers are what you write *uneducated* Well, I guess you are welcome to the crowd.
If you are sick and tired about all the noise of the pre-election ’season’ most of us are, but there is no place to hide, not even here at TC…
Or, maybe you have already decided that the race is over, which the socialist/liberals want the rest of the country to believe… Sorry, but it will be over on November 4 — And the winner are… NOT Obama-Biden, for sure! –What you dogs refuse to accept is: Over 60% of the voters in the US are conservative, meaning you know what: McCain-Palin all the way!
Sorry guys.
Wow! I cannot believe how many people that read this blog are misinformed and racist. It truly is sad.
Obama may not be the best choice and If that is the case we should base that on jugdement and experience, not hatred. No wonder our country is so far behind.
@Chris Smith –You are just rushing to judge!
Hope that you include yourself when you write “people that read this blog are misinformed and racist”
I agree that hatred should not have a place when choosing a new president, however, that could be too much to expect from politicians. The lowest vermin there is…
The choice is really difficult, McCain is the lesser of two evils –I personally think that he is crazy. Truly.
On the other hand, Obama-Biden ticket is a very dangerous nightmare for all Americans. Please think about it. Look at the facts.
Tom
Yeah, the typical liberal mantra: “we are always right and everyone else is misinformed and racist”
–Of course, Obama is the ‘Messiah’ and because he is half-black no one can ask him or his lemming-like supporters anything about his experience, background, friends, *true* plans for our country’s future. Nothing.
Your total ignorance really makes me sick.
You would think readers of a tech blog would want a president who knew how to use a computer…
Absolutely!
By the way, Senator McCain does use his laptop every single day: it has been documented on pictures and videos.
That was another shameless lie from the Obama brainless minions.
How about Obama’s frequent use of cocaine? It has also been documented, by himself during interviews in the past few months.
He also told George Stephanopoulos that he is muslim, although now he says that he is Christian.
Yes, Obama is all for *change* –He changes his life’ story every day… Are these “Flip-Flops”? Hardly. He has a real problem with the truth. Politicians’ *truth* that is…
Tom
To be honest I prefer: http://www.voti...per.com/results
How can you not be decided at this point? Just don’t be like this guy on CBS:
http://tobroket...egory/politics/
Of course, the dems want us to believe that the presidential race is already over.
IT IS NOT!!!! Obama will lose badly….
Glassbooth rules!
Sorry. Glassbooth rules my ass!
there’s a bunch (7 – 10) of these sites out there; combined they have gotten quite a few uniques – somewhere between 3 and 7 million since the primaries (i know because i launched one as a side project – http://www.votehelp.org which i humbly think does a great job as well)- and we found that when we launched 3 others had started up around the same time (about a year ago). pretty impressive overall traffic and a good sign for democracy in general that a sizeable % of the population is taking the time to go thru the issues in this manner, especially since i don’t think any of these sites have had much for budgets (ours was $7K out of my pocket and some dedicated citizens willing to work really cheap). These tools could be taken a lot further and hopefully will by the next cycle.
Cool. Nice and shameless plug.
That is all we need, a bunch of idle,clueless nerds telling the good old citizens of the US, how to choose our leaders! –Clueless, corrupted leaders, that is.
In the old times [anytime, actually] all it took was getting some useful information, then noodle it, then go and vote… Voila!
“New technology” my kids say holding their iPhones, while we all know that they can’t pick up a book and read…
But Wait! They are all going to vote for the half-black one… even when they have no idea what this guy stands for. What a great and screwed future!!! –Well, it is “their” future that is going to be royally screwed, right? –yes, YES!!!
The ‘new generation’ making history…
This country is reeling after 8 years of Bush and cannot afford a third term for him under McCain. History will show that Bush and the GOP majority of 2001 to 2007 are SOBs who came close ton destroying this country. Only time will tell if they actually succeeded.
We need change. Real change. Not an old codger calling himself a “maverick”.
One final point: it was a treasonous act by McCain to select as his #2 the ditzy Sarah Palin. If anyone is still thinking about voting for McCain they should take a long hard look at his understudy who will be a heart beat away from the presidency. The poor woman comes across like someone who got an interview for a dream job by lying on her resume about having a Harvard MBA instead of a high school equivalency certificate. So now she’s determinedly trying to bluff her way through it while everyone sees that she’s in no way qualified for the position.
It would be comical if it weren’t so sad.
Hi,
I stumbled upon something really disturbing today. I was looking at the standard computer ASCII table and saw that BARACK OBAMA is represented by the following ASCII decimal numbers B=66, A=65, R=82, A=65, C=67, K=75, O=79, B=66, A=65, M=77, A=65. If you string the numbers together, you will see that 666 appears in both his first and last name.
B A R A C K O B A M A
666582656775 7966657765
Is this what Rev 13:16-18 has warned us about? And what about Luke 10:18, where Jesus says Satan is like lightning, and lightning translated from Hebrew is “barak”.
I think we have been warned many times.
Technically you are incorrect – it would only work if you used capital letters to spell his entire name and only in the decimal conversion as opposed to hexadecimal, or Octal.
http://en.wikip....org/wiki/ASCII
Either way are you serious? Talk about conspiracy theorist. I guess if you believe that millions of years ago, adam and eve were hanging out with T-Rex’s and that a women actually grew from a rib bone, anything is possible.
