Another easy one. It's a confused butchering of a very popular call of the time, "Free the Chicago 7" combined with the fact that the World's Fair in 64 was held in Chicago, I believe. Good question, though.
No reason to give this one to the band. They added a full band when they recorded John Henry, and have been a full band ever since. If you want to listen to some new songs with just the Johns, check out 'State Songs', Linnel's solo project. Flans shows up on a few tracks, including South Carolina, which is some of their best shit ever.
What is your feeling about www.tmbg.org, and www.tmbg.net? Do you ever plan on giving out e-mail addresses, or at least e-mail aliases, a la tmbg.org? A lot of us long time hardcore fans would really love an addy @tmbg.com.
Nope. It was a Bloom County, and no one got the moral, which was 'If a million people do a stupid thing, it is still a stupid thing.' Outland was a horrible rip off that came later.

What it really boils down to is 'Cakes and Circuses'. Once the people in a direct democracy realize they can just vote for Cakes and Circuses for themselves, they do, and eventually destroy the government. It becomes tyrrany of the majority. There need to be people who are fairly intelligent making the decisions on a day to day basis. The average person is too stupid.
You can also check out a refutation of the claim at www.snopes.com. It's a pretty good refutation... Snopes is always good at debunking myths, although the political myths that have been debunked have all been anti-democrat this year...
You're missing the boat. Taxation without representation was the main thrust. No one was complaining about the idea of taxes in general, they were complaining about not having any sort of say in how that tax money was spent. Thanks for playing.
Well, I think that by posting this, they have given us all the message that if we're unhappy with our jobs and lives, perhaps we should find something that does make us happy, and lets us change the world. I need a push to leave my job, really badly, and seeing things like this help to give me a bit more courage to do so.
Dumb-asses... I'll put money on it being.the ex anti-troll. Religeous Zealotry, Anon Coward, Kinda rough around the edges... If I'm wrong, it's not by much.
Although this will be a wonderful reform that will help us all out, it, like all other good ideas, will eventually be choked to death with the Red Tape required to challenge a patent, etc... It's almost a waste of time to pass any logical laws in America anymore.
I don't think we should mind if Mindspring mind-melds into this Mindgame. I have half a mind to to write Open Mind and Mindpixel, and give them a piece of my mind!
You wouldn't get paid. You would have to get a real job, instead of being a hack that makes money off of giving his work to people with talent.
Of course, if you actually compose good work, then you might be able to make a living off of that as well. After all, although we know that Mozart, Beethoven, Brahms, and Bach were all poor folks who had to live in the gutters, it's obvious that composers can't make money under any model. Maybe you will have to figure out a way.
Promise Keepers are a group of Christian Men who tend toward being mysoginistic and very intolerant of those who do not fit the 'Perfect Christian Family' Model... I.e. Man and Woman with Children. They're pretty amazingly covered up, insofar as they only look like good guys trying to help out their wives, but check out the link...
Paranoid Much?
UN Death Squads? WTO Smokescreens? Do you have information to back this up, or did you just read it all in an ultra-nationalist book you saw advertised on Rush Limbaugh? Honestly, I love to hear sun out conspiracy theories as much as the next geek, but these death squads... They ride in the black helicopters, right? Over by Area 51? Until you can back this up with some proof, I don't think that anyone will be able to take you even halfway seriously.
Of course this is inevitable... In fact, I can see this becoming the next marketing boon for small, 3rd world nation... Take a starving country in Africa, and tell them that if they have completely non-restrictive internet laws, they will cease being poor. Say that you can sell anything you want online, and allow for this small little country to see money beyond it's wildest dreams, which is still going to be nothing but a drop in the bucket for most large businesses. I can see it being a possibility that, in the future, alot of small countries in Latin America and Africa could make up for alot of their economic stife by allowing rich European and American corporations to have free reign.
It's nice to see that there are alot of expert opinions in an open forum that are actually on the Anti-DMCA. With the obvious open hostility of the judges of both the Napster and DeCSS cases, there need to be more well documented 'official' comments speaking out against the DMCA. Most of the public has blown off opponents of the DMCA as either morons or thieves, and it seriously lowers the respect people have for Anti-DMCA activists when we aren't really seen as having an official voice, except for, possibly, RMS, who is a bit too extreme to be a PR Guy.
If they really feel that this software is nothing to be worried about, why don't they put it up as an 'Ask Slashdot'?
Janet Reno asks:"I have the source code to a piece of software that my employer is a bit worried about. Do you think that this is a violation of anyone's rights?" So, what do you think crowd? Go ahead and check it out, and feel free to let us know what you think...

I am not willing to fight and die for Napster/DeCSS specifically, but I am willing to fight and die for a country that is not ruled by the rich, where the corporations do not have politicians in their pockets, and where laws are passed with decency and common sense. I honestly believe that this government has too much cruft, if you will, and it's time to do a 're-install'.
OK, I know I'm going to make myself look like a real extremist here, but the thing is that's exactly what the media and the gov't want you to think. The only people who want to overthrow the government are a bunch of wacko fringe groups that we should all mock on Late Night Talk Shows, then go back to our happy fat consumerism. This America is so far from it's original vision it's disgusting. The only way that it will be taken back is with an uprising, violent or no. Are you going to keep being a puppet, or are you actually going to stand up for your rights?
This is exactly the point that alot of us "extremists" have been making about the Napster and DeCSS debates. Not that it isn't a violation of Copyright, but that copyright laws are too outdated, and anything that the current court system tries to churn out will be worthless for the most part. Today's gov'ts are exactly what Katz is saying here... Tired, worn out old men. There isn't much left in them in the way of life, and hopefully, the entire old school paradigm of governments will be shattered soon. I don't know about the state of other countries, but I believe the Second American Revolution is coming. Are you ready?
Exaxtly. My friends and I used to call the first Diablo 'Nethack 4.0'... Although, now that I scratched my D2 play disk, now I'm back to playing Nethack. By the way, I know it's been out for a while, but if you haven't checked out the latest version of Nethack, You really should. The gameplay has been improved drastically.

My post says 64. It's a blend of 'Expo 64' and 'Free the Chicago 7'

What are your feelings on the DMCA, and what steps will you take to enforce/repeal it if elected?
