There's no point of replying to his congressman; his congressman did NOT write this letter to him, it's from the Telco companies. His congressman is a goner by now, he'd been bought.
Well the republican bash-the-corporation over oil prices is just bullshit. It's what they call lip service. They say one thing to sedate the people and do the opposite. Just like those Bush speeches about this issue, what a load of bullshit.

"in about 20 years all the politicians are going to be people who lived through the shutdown of napster, the lawsuits, and the general stupidity." - regardless of what they've lived through, in 20 years or 200, politicians will still be a corrupt bunch. You can count on that.
Better movies don't sell. Go to an arthouse cinema and you'll see better movies, but not many people, and not many arthouse cinemas. The fact is, if you want a blockbuster, it has to be stupid.
You're right. Best customer service I had was from Apple. I remember when AppleWorks messed up some coursework a girlfriend was doing one of the AppleCare people phoned her professor to tell him she'll have to hand it in late due to a computer problem. I thought that was excellent.
Because computer gamers are dorks. Not flamebating, but social fact. I can easily imagine an Apple switch ad for a Garageband user who'd go on and on about how "Music is my life...", but not a one for a hardcore gamer. Yes, "music is my life..." makes my stomach turn, but, apparently, it's socially accepted as a positive thing and makes girls swoon. Desktop Gaming, however, ummm, no!Can you imagine Steve Jobs as a gamer?
Why does that work? Why does slapping a TV or CRT work?

"B. Shred the Hard drive into pieces less then one square milimeter in size. However this system may be hard to come by for most of us, and tends to harm the hard drive." Really? Who would've thunk it!
Exactly. In the US the business culture seems single-minded on the "is it profitable?" bottom-line on every decision they make that such an interruption and sealing-off of a part of the quarry would cause an industrialist to go apeshit over "lost sales". Eyeless spiders? try telling that to a US boss.
Napoleon Dynamite is not an indie movie. It's not independent. It's an MTV movie. It's the ultimate example of a manufactured movie that's all style and no substance. Being an MTV movie, it received heavy airtime and marketting on MTV. There are plenty of idiots around that want to be cool that MTV has enough power to decide what's cool, and can make stupid movies like Napoleon Dynamite, that they have a stake in, become such the hit marketting sensation. You're insulting indie filmmakers everywhere by making that claim. Indies mean that either you're good at what you do or you can't do it at all. Napoleon Dynamite, in terms of its substance, was such the utter shit that proved the point that no matter how lame your jokes are there'll always be too many dorks convincing themselves they're so hilariously funny if it'll make them feel cool and good about themselves in that "Ahhh, I get it, I like this movie so I must be cool!".
The Taliban are not Al-Qaeda. There's a big, big difference between them. The Taliban are a bunch of Afghani madrassa kids, ignorant and almost illiterates, messing around within their own neighbourhoods and borders. Al-Qaeda in Afghanistan were a core of Arab fighters, some very-well educated (eg. Zawahiri is a Paediatrician fleunt in French and English, his father was a pharmacist, Atta had an Engineering PhD from a reputed German university, and his father was a lawyer; even the "muscle men" in 9/11 were multi-lingual graduates), some perhaps very rich (Bin Laden the son of a Billionaire), some even strikingly good-looking (like this 9/11 hijacker whom I remember a girl friend (white, American) going gaga over when she saw his pic http://www.fbi.gov/pressrel/penttbom/ua93/alnamiah .jpg), some were suave and urbane and had Western girlfriends, who'd left their homes and countries and went after a world-class cause (fighting the undisputed superpower, what's bigger?!) for years if not decades. There's a big difference between them, and the two at times didn't get along; Al-Qaeda fighters think the Taliban are retarded. You don't need much conviction and determination to be a neighbourhood ignoramus, but to leave what many wish for (education, money, looks) behind and give it all up (your life included) for an idealist cause that you don't need and is against the odds, well, that's a very big deal. That's why I used Al-Qaeda as an ultimate example of what dedication it takes to stand up to a superpower government (and I'm not glamorising them here, but the facts are facts, for a revolutionarly organisation they are perhaps the best the world had ever seen in intelligence and sheer doggedness - and good luck to anyone who'd try to do something they couldn't do), I wouldn't have used the Taliban. Littlest league, biggest league; huge difference.
You're right. Al-Qaeda in Afghanistan had guns and, by golly, the bravest men any battlefield might've seen. What happened to them? B-52s flying in round-the-world-trips carpet-bombed them and their entire camp areas into oblivion. What remained of them wherever they were encountered in skirmishes were within hours of battle starting anihilated by rockets coming from submarines emerging thousands of miles away in the middle of the ocean and then submerging again. How can you fight that?! If Al-Qaeda fighters, tough, hardened, passionate and insane, couldn't do it, then I very much doubt an American civil movement could; Americans were reared on an everyman-for-himself capitalist culture, and good luck to anyone who may try to summon in them the sort of passion, irrational dedication and resolve required for a revolution. You can't even convince Americans to care enough about their fellow citizens to adopt universal healthcare, let alone a revolution. And if anyone thinks the US government won't use violence to suppress internal dissent, then look back at what they did to the leftist movements of the 1960s, they broke their back, they used live amunition on campus grounds to shoot demonstrators.
