Uhh, the state IS more important than the Nation, and the County SHOULD be more important than the state. Maybe than I would be able to exercise a little of the power I am SUPPOSED to have. I government By the people, for the people means I am the most important peice, and it should go downhill from there.
That is ENTIRELY the wrong attitude to have. While you are (probably) correct that most of the media coverage we get is irrelevant at best (misleading and deceptive at worst), it doesn't change the fact that (even by your own words) there are a lot of people out there looking to take advantage of you for a dollar, and we all need to be 1) on guard against it and 2) helping each other out.
You are right that the majority of my problems are my own creation, and I need to work on those for the betterment of myself. But does that give me the right to be selfish with my time and energy? no. We all need to do what is right and spend a PROPORTIONATE amount of time fighting to ensure our freedom, our well being, and our time isn't being stolen. Why? See above. We (as Americans) give a portion of ourselves over to the government in exchange for citizenship at birth. And we expect the gov't to take good care of what we give it, but the gov't is run by people like you and me. People that are easily manipulated. So while you may say "oh, it's just a(nother) gas increase, it's just a(nother) break for a large business, it's just a(nother) land war, who cares, I got mine", those things add up, and they are starting to add up fast. Every single peice of news I hear related to HSA, FBI, Cia, Executive branch of gov't, WAL-MART/KMART/FORD/P&G/ *AA all tell me that we (I and my generation) haven't done enough, and my parents (and their generation) didn't do enough to keep this shit at bay.
you just have to let it go and look at your life and assess how things are based on people around. I see that I have to learn twice as much as my dad to make less money (based on inflation). I see that the housing market is out of control, and I may never get out of the debt my body creates everyday by forcing me to find shelter. I see that the harder I work, the less people my boss hires; and fewer people employed means lower entry level wages which means no raise for me (who now has to work harder to keep his job). I see that I have to pay roughly 12% of my salary to pay for insurance for myself my wife and our daughter. I see that our schools are in a state of horrible disrepair (not surprising they were only supposed to make factory workers, not actually prepare you for the real world), and I will have to pay at least 12% of my salary to ensure my daughter gets an education that will be useful to her. I see that more and more companies are choosing to to perform acts that are morally grey or out and out black in the name of their shareholders (I don't need to get into the acts performed by the corporate leaders of America). I see people being distracted with the shiny baubles of sensationalist entertainment disguised as media. And I see people like you who act like the frog in the jacuzzi.
If you choose a life where you say you don't value money, don't come crying to your political masters 20 years down the road for not having any. IT's pretty cut and dry. uhh, I'm gonna skip this one, it seems to be some leftover rant you had somewhere else.
You need to manage your life so that it is profitable, so that you can support the ones you love, including yourself. As a member of my family, I love other people in my family. As a member of America, I love other Americans. Bottom line is, YOU need to start realizing that if you don't do something to help, you should at least do something to stop others from hurting. If you can't do that, just get out of he way (and stop posting this sort of thing).

Seriously, there are ALOT of really amazing things going on right now, but we can't just sit back on our laurels and say hey that was great. If you are too old to care anymore, that is fine but then you need to keep your mouth shut, and let the young bucks take over the herd. The comments you made above are disheartening and misleading to those who still care. I'm sure there were a few more points I missed, but even after a break I am still quite heated over your remarks. We aren't "fortunate to have what we have" we fought to earn it and we need to fight to keep it.
Seriously, we are going to keep using SKU? This is an acronym worthy of being added to the everyday lexicon? It's not even a techie acronym, it's for marketing and accounting!

100gc/10cy = 12.5 cents, US.
30 Cents/hour = 4 hours/100gc
9 farmers @25gc/hour * 12 hours = 2700gc (270cy, incidentally)
2700gc @ $3/100 exchange to online retailer = $810 per day
$810 * 300days = $243,000 US; NOT 80,000.
2700gc @ ($3 - 1.25 labor) =$475 * 300days = 142,000 NOT 80,000

Yeah, because good wages and pen[s]ions should only be given to people who have done the time and paid their dues to be a part of a group!

Not to beat a dead horse, but Tivo's "product" is built on someone else's code, and the GPL is attempting to protect that someones rights, no?
