""True" capitalism CAN work, and it DID work in America's most prosperous era (from the founding until the Civil War, when Lincoln's many fascist treasons corrupted the whole political system).
Actually, "True" capitalism doesn't work, and in the pre-Lincoln era, the rich got richer off of slavery.
"If people aren't smart enough to save money to educate their children, then they'll need to LEARN responsibility over the generations when they're poor. That's what's great about this country -- the unintelligent "darwinistically" fall by the wayside, and the MOST intelligent from other countries immigrate to our country to make the society stronger.
I know I'm a solo voice, but the hopes for liberty ARE growing, and I can only hope that people eventually see the fallacy that we "NEED" public education, or that we "NEED" minimum wage laws (laws that have removed 500,000+ jobs from the market, and hurt minorities and the young). Pick up one of those two books, settle in for a long week, and learn why Government Doesn't Work."
Actually, if this country didn't have public education or minimum wage, then only the richest of Americans would be able to afford any kind of education. And the ones that "Fall by the wayside", turn to a life of crime to support themselves, or if oppresed long enough, would overthrow the government. Actually, one of the things that makes this country great is the Balance between Capitalism and Socialism. And the reason why GOD Has blessed this country is because we Give to the people in need, not just in this country, but, in other countries as well.
Oh, BTW, if this country were "True" capitalism, Corporations Like oh, say, Microsoft, would have free reign in this country, given the right to buy up ALL land and would be a true monopoly, not just in the computer software & hardware area, but, in every other area as well.

Here is an excerpt from http://www.starrgennett.org/history/index.html
"Patent Legal Battle Win Helps Establish Gennett
The recording business had been dominated from its beginning by large firms which held valuable patents on wax engraving methods and on the recording stylus. Since 1902, the American Graphophone Company (Columbia) and the Victor Talking Machine Co. had pooled their patents on the lateral cut method of recording in an attempt to monopolize the market. The majors were challenged by a growing number of smaller manufacturers, including Vocalion, Emerson, Brunswick, and Starr. The giants sought protection in the courts, but in Victor Talking Machine Co. vs. Starr Piano Co. (1922) the Second Circuit Court of Appeals held the Victor patent void for lack of invention and for abandonment.
Not only did the lawsuit effectively end the majors' monopolization of lateral recording, it formed a bond between the smaller companies which had joined the Gennetts in the legal battle. Leasing arrangements between the companies followed, eventually involving hundreds of masters. In the mid-twenties, Gennett was producing 3 million records annually, in addition to 15,000 pianos and 3,500 spring driven phonographs. In 1928, Gennett cut 1,250 master records, compared to Victor's 1,900. "
It doesn't matter how much evidence there is supporting Napster (or P2P in general), the RIAA will bri, er, I mean Lobby congress and have some compelling evidence of their own to present to them.
If CON is the opposite of PRO Shoudn't that make CONgress the opposite of PROgress?
The point of this? After the Internet has been handed over to these X companies, there will ensue a mad scramble for each other's assets until there is only TIC (The Internet Company), probably run by Steve Jobs or AOL
IMHO, Microsoft will most likely own the internet.

I Don't think MPEG-4 will be too widely used due to the fact of a PER-Minute, Per-User FEE, on top of a 25-cent licensing fee for each personal-use MPEG-4 encoder or decoder.
Romans 1:26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:
Romans 1:27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.
Yes, it could very well have Legal Repercussions.

MPAA doesnt want copy protection they want copy controll
ie they control your music and your life..well I not that god damn stupid and neither is the rest of the buying public..
Ask them how much the origninal copyright holder gets per work on cd per price..and they cannot answer.. Well, of course they woudn't answer, because the MPAA(Motion Picture Association of America) Has nothing to do with music distribution. The RIAA (Recordin Industry Association of America) Handles (read Controls) music Distribution.

And lets not forget that AOL didn't start off as an ISP.
Also, AOL started out as Quantum Link, A service for Commodore Computers.
Actually His name is spelled 'Geordi'. ;)

Shoudn't that make CONgress the opposite of PROgress?
That is, unless the CBDTPA becomes law.

Actually, didn't Intel try to do this with their PIII processors which had the CPU-ID?

I wonder, does that include old Apple II Computers?
