"Democracy can be defined as two Wolves and a Sheep deciding what to eat for dinner."
I am perfectly happy living as part of a society in which I can try to convince any Wolves to order a Pizza, instead of a society where I have no say at all.
"The Obama administration will also drop spending for research on the exploration of oil and gas deposits because the industry itself has ample resources for that, Dr. Chu said."
Last year's gasoline and diesel prices disagree with you, sir. As do the rising number of unused cargo ships.
...that says high ranking government officials are exempt from whatever this bill actually enacts, that it's only the "common man" who will require "Open" medical records.
What is planned to be done about public leaks of, or illegal alterations to, confidential information of an individual's HIV/AIDS/Other Social Disease/Embarrassing Medical Ailment status?
"What this really means is that outside corporations cannot sell equipment to the state of Florida and expect to hide the workings of their machine by saying they are trade secret."

I would ditch my Satellite TV service before I would ditch my 'net connection.
With things like Hulu popping up (and how little I watch the "idiot box"), I may cancel my TV service within the next month or two.
If I can find a clearer guide to making a DIY HTPC in the next week or so, it may happen even sooner.
