There is nothing more important than wealth creation.
This kind of statement really makes me, no offense to you, sick to my stomach. Where did you learn that this is the case? Who taught you this?
But, that is your prerogative.
What gets me is when statements like these become evangelical - when these kinds of things are spouted as "the way to be". This is the end result of that - schools banning speech that sounds off against corporate greed.
Believe what you will, but don't evangelize that "there is nothing more important than welath creation". And please, don't go filling your childrens' heads with that.
"...we were surprised by the degree to which all six candidates...expressed the same opinions."
On paper, they're all going to look the same. They all want to be as palatable as possible to as many people as possible, no one wants to stand out by taking any approach other than the most vanilla of them. The real person is not the one making the staged sound bites or prepared written responses - it's the one being hit by random unexpected questions we should focus on, and see the reality there.
What might be interesting to do is to see how many people actually _care_ about DVD functionality. Everyone I know that's interested in PS/2 (or console games at all, for that matter) doesn't give a raspberry fig newton about DVD playability, they just want to know about how it plays games. I don't have one and don't plan to get one, and from the reviews I've seen everywhere, I think I'm making the right choice in waiting for an XBox/Indrema/NCube. Maybe run a poll about what the actual buyer's motivations are in buying a PS/2, I don't think many will care about DVD.

This is absurd. Let the man go.
