Captain Copyright Targets Kids
frank249 writes "The Canadian Copyright Licensing Agency has set up a copyright education website called Captain Copyright. There is a section for kids with comic books and a section for teachers for grades 1-3, 3-6 and 6-8. An example of a grade 1 class activity: 'Present the following situation to students: Your friend is downloading a song off the Internet. In comes Captain Copyright. Ask: What do you think Captain Copyright will say?
Encourage students to brainstorm. Then hand out (or read) Line Master: Some Copyright Laws.' In Canadian law it is incorrect to download a song unless you pay for it. They also neglect to mention that Canadians pay a tax on blank media that is meant to compensate artists for downloads."
I'll say "Sweetie, he's like God." She'll reply "What do you mean, Daddy, all knowing, all powerful and something to be in awe of?" "No dear," I'll reply, "a make-believe thing people in power use against the masses to keep them scared."
Being a religious person, I usually take some kind of offense at things like this, but these Canadians have somehow made your comment palatable.
In comes Captain Copyright. Ask: What do you think Captain Copyright will say?
Yikes. "What would Jesus do?" came to mind when I read that.
Yet another reason to keep your kids out of the public schools.
I got my Linux laptop at System76.
look at how people use god and religeon. If you do not see how it is used for control, from countries to families, you are blind, deaf and in denial.

Part of it is letting a section feel wrong to me, then breaking that section down, and letting certain parts feel wrong, then asking what would feel right, checking that feeling of right with all the other occurrences. It is important to go to the original texts, for one, but looking at translations in other languages is beneficial too.
Also, while the Bible is the base of my investigations, I read materials from other religions. I've glanced at the Book of Mormon and have serious issues with the fact that the "source text" has gone missing. I look at apocryphal works. Of the materials from other religions, the one most curious to me currently are the http://www.falundafa.org/ documents.
What differentiates a true signal from noise is that in signal there isn't an equal probability that a cancelling pulse exists.
