I hope she hasn't ever donated to any disagreeable referendum campaigns..... ....or ever been a core member of an administration that left us with two disastrous wars, an offshore gulag, the greatest economic disaster in 70 years, a record of legitimizing torture, a decline in prestige on the world stage. Oh, and a strong record or rejecting marriage equality.
All continued by the current administration and more. What was your point again?

#63I love Dropbox, it's my favourite service that I use regularly. However, I cannot trust Dropbox with the privacy of my data now.

#64and Al Gore is on the board of many businesses... what's the big deal with it? because she's republican? EDIT: why am i downvoted? because i'm pointing out ex politics on both sides seat on boards or because i talked about being republican,which is not popular here?
No, because she was a republican who was a key player in one of the worst administrations in the recent history of the US government. I don't have any problem with people who believe in small government, defense, the rule of law, and sound fiscal policy. Lying to the American public to justify a boondoggle of a war in Iraq is different. Al Gore, whatever his failings, doesn't have that kind of massive black mark on h…

For me, the problem is her involvement with the Bush Iraq fiasco. Lying about weapons of mass destruction.

#66The problem with Rice is that she is a malevolent liar. She's unfit for any leadership position, public or private.
Instead of simply saying a hit and run statement, offer some additional details.
Whilst I agree with the sentiment of the comment you replied to, at first I read your comment, then felt a negative reaction towards your reply. My (very much initial) thought process was to try and think of a rebuttal to your request for some details.
Just taking a few moments to think (and whilst I still think that the original post is probably correct), it's funny just how easy it is to fall into an emotional reaction and justification pattern of communication.
It's hard to admit, but I'm almost certainly emotionally biased against people that I think (whether rightly or wrongly) have been directly or indirectly involved in the deaths of others. It's logically obvious that that could occur, but it's surprising that my reaction has the potential to override my (mostly logical mind) that I agree with your point and think the original commenter absolutely should provide some supporting evidence to such strong opinions.
Apologies to anyone that found this to be an overly laboured and/or irrelevant point. It felt to me like an interesting bit of introspection.

#68Sooo, will we be seeing a repeat of the Eich-like public outcry? Though I may understand the business rationale for this hire, I certainly wont trust founders, board or anyone else at Dropbox who is OK working with a person that is partially responsible for deaths of thousands(arguably hundreds of thousands) people in the Iraq war based on false premises about "WMD". Oh, and we shouldn't forget about her role in "enh…
I feel just like you but rely on Dropbox so much. What serious alternatives are they? (preferably, non-US-based?)
