It takes brains to dismantle our freedoms a piece at a time.
If there is anything left resembling the country our forefathers envisioned when his term is up, I bet we will find that the atrocities he and the rest of his oil cronies committed are only the tip of the proverbial iceberg.
I personally find it sad that we are so easily distracted by the gossip fed to us as "news" by the corporate media, while Bush's team rapes the constitution.
I'm sure looking at the wrong site can get you declared an "Enemy Combatant" and then its off on an all expenses paid flight to Guantanamo or some other exotic locale!
I full expect to surfing the net via IPv6 right around the time I win the lottery due to my newfound physic abilities granted from the radiation caused by a passing UFO being hit by a anti-matter meteor the size of Texas.
If ya give a little, you get a lot in return. Marketing weenies know this as "Building the Brand". By giving your current users a way to introduce a product to a friend, via a quick clip that catches essence of your brand, you gain much more exposure.
If a friend tells me such-and-such a show is good, but my time is valuable. I don't want to wait through all the slogging bits (commericals, etc.) just to get to the meat of what it is about. However, after viewing a few entertaining short clips, I am more apt schedule time to watch the show because my interest is perked.
Afterall, its our sweet sweet dollars they are all grubbing for and treating us all like theives isn't the best way to get it IMHO.
The reason, though, this doesn't apply online is because the law regarding virtual goods is nebulous. Does The Sword of Death have a value? If no, then what is the crime? If yes, then why is getting it as a drop not considered taxable income?
Don't give them any ideas!

The IRS robot looks sternly at the little man cowering before him, "Mr. Shroom, why did you not include your Sword Of Pwning, currently valued at $324.00 according to e-bay, on your 2010 tax return?"
Anarchy would not be better, but it would be nice to live in a society where ordinary citizens (the majority) and not the rich (corporations) who make laws contradictory to the will of the common man (and common sense).
Its sad that 2% of the population control 99% of the wealth. Its criminal that we have to live in a society with laws tailored to their interests.
The US President is an alcoholic which is a specific type of drug addict. It always gets me that most ppl grasp in horror if they learn someone is a heroin addict, but seem to care less when told that someone is an alcoholic.
Its is common knowledge that alcohol addiction kills more people a year (both the addicts and those effected by them) than all other illegal drug combined. Yet, thanks to propaganda like D.A.R.E. morons like you exist.

Imagine if someone asked you to modify a part of a life-support software system while a patient is hooked-up and relying on it for life. Move over, you have little knowledge of the system as whole and how different parts interact.
People like to spout off about how clever we humans are, but actually we know just a little more than jack squat about the long-term consequences of mucking with the genome.
It's not what we know that is dangerous. Its what we don't know.
We really won't know the full extent of the Bush Administration's abuses of power until well after 2008. IMO, we are going to be shocked as the scope and depth of their illegal activities.
Can one imagine a religion which believes "There are chosen people, but they're not us" Can one imagine a religion which believes "There are chosen people, but they're not us"
Both the Torah and the Bible refer to the Jews as Gods chosen people. Many Christians believe that the Jews are God's chosen people even if they are not Jewish.
God decided to let non-Jews in for a small price. Just ask him.
And God said unto them, "Meh, I'll let the goa in for a small price. I'll make them such a deal! Vhat?!, they don't believe in me! OY VEH! Schmucks, I tell you!"

Terrorist are evil.
Attacking the RIAA is a unherently good act.
Thus, terrorist would not attack the RIAA.
If you think about it, the RIAA ARE terrorist.
