That would make the music show a defacto advertisement. People would tune out in droves. By hiding the money, they can make an ad seem like a music show.

Obviously you're not listening. I'll be happy if you can prove to me that good farming practices and an end to the rampant corruption wouldn't make GM unnecessary. Got some money wrapped up in Monsanto, perhaps? Can't risk that pot of gold now, can you? And what geneticist is going to bite that hand, eh? Those of us without an agenda are able to see a bit more clearly than those whose eyes are fooged over with greed.
The point is that GM is unnecessary and possibly dangerous. The locusts don't even compare to the problems caused by the wars and political corruption and other human factors. GM is not about aiding Africa. It's about controlling them and guaranteed profits.
My life has been impacted. Every time I cross the damn border. You can try to defend what these people are doing all you want. They are still crooks looking for power, and getting it. If you wish to believe what is being spoon fed to you by the authorities, fine. They know the requirements. They "forgot" nothing. With all the govt lies staring me in the face, don't expect me to believe this one. You have no idea how many people have been impacted by this and other govt actions since 9/11. Nobody's allowed to talk about it. Most everything the govt has done since 9/11 is despicable and absolutely indefensible. Besides, why should I wait for MY life to be impacted? Like I've been told by others, we shouldn't want to fight any wars on our turf, including this one. Personally, I don't give a damn anymore. This is what the majority wants. This is what they'll get. The sad part is that you're messing with the folks who know better. So, like any other train wreck, I'll just stand on the side lines and gape at the carnage knowing how easily this could have been avoided. I'll keep my distance and let all of you sort it out. This is your war. Don't try to make it mine.
Back in the 60's people staged protests (real ones at least, not the half assed ones of today), they boycotted, they got together and really discussed the issues and did something about it.
Then they went about re-electing those liars Johnson and Nixon. What exactly was done? I was there. Nothing has changed. The same people are in charge. Americans aren't lazy. They're corrupt. Always trying to vote themselves a bigger tax cut or govt check while ignoring everything else.
Overall, I think we'd be better served with most serviced provided by a competitive private sector market, with vigorous public oversight to hold the providers accountable.
Couldn't we do the same with the govt? I was under the impression that the ballot could be used for this purpose. That we fail to use it is not the fault of the govt. We can use this tool to hold the govt accountable...I think. Why don't we try it? Personally, I hold the voters responsible for this mess.
Waddaya gonna do? It's not like anybody going to vote these people out of office or anything. It has been reported that the majority wants the patriot act to be extended and strengthened. For those who want their freedoms back, it looks like they're in for a very long fight. Welcome to the new dark age. Ahhh...nature...aint she sweet?

The ONLY thing superior about VHS was the marketing. The longer recording time helped, but if you ever decide to look inside the machine, you would find that Beta is vastly superior technically. It was based on professional/industrial strength machinery. Just look at M2(VHS-pro?) and see how that went. The Alpha chip is vastly superior to Intel. Why don't we see very many of them?? There is a difference between percieved value and real value. It is the percieved value that worked for VHS, Intel, etc.

It's been done before. All without a fancy-schmanzty computer or el-cee-dees. How many of you remember those old billboards with rotating triangular louvres? Some didn't rotate. The picture would change as a different side of the louvre came into view as you drove by. I bet they're still cheaper than a giant LCD monitor.
People might have noticed, but "Have a Habana" with your hosts Bill and Monica was on the tube at the time(or at least in post production), aannd...well, you know...where else are you going to get R rated material on broadcast TV?
The good thing is that he's standing up to them. If only all of us could do the same when faced with such indefensible acts. I hope he never backs down. Coke is just trying to censor criticism. Coke sells bottled water also, but obviously there's more profit in coke. I've seen what happens when basic foodstuffs are price controlled. There are often many shortages of them, but the store will have the damn soda pop stacked to the ceiling. The photog was making a statement that Coke didn't like, and they have that old standby, IP law, to silence the critics. We CAN fix this, IF you're up to it. You all know what needs to be done. Just do it. We shouldn't constantly have to spend good money to defend opurselves against bad law.

As well it should be. You'll just have to settle for the anhydrous variety.
