  7. Re:Good indie music? on MySpace-Imeem Deal Leaves Indie Artists Unpaid · · Score: 1

    "indie" just means that they aren't on one of the 3 or 4 major labels that control 97% of the music in the world. It has nothing to do with the quality of the music. if you want to see untalented hacks just turn on a top 40 radio station. Most of the quality musicians/bands in the world are on independent labels. See Arts & Crafts (http://www.arts-crafts.ca/artists.php) as an example of talented artists on an indie label.

  8. Re:How do you look at specific things with them? on Where Are Your Contact Lens Displays? · · Score: 1

    I don't have contacts, but from what i understand, they center on your cornea and move with your eye, right? How would someone "look around" on a screen with contacts? Wouldn't the center of the screen always be what you're looking at, drastically minimizing what you can read and properly make out?

    Hey, nobody said that you would be able to WALK while wearing them.

  13. Re:I understand these modern times and all... on 1Mb Broadband Access Becomes Legal Right In Finland · · Score: 5, Insightful

    There's a difference between excessive meddling in a citizens life and providing for your citizens. Government doesn't provide for citizens. It forces some citizens to provide for others.

    or you could say, government allows all citizens to provide for each other in an efficient and cost effective manner.

  24. Re:bankrupt then what? on RIAA Awarded $675,000 In Tenenbaum Trial · · Score: 1

    I'd rather have our bankruptcy process and a free market medical system than have yet another intrusion of Government into my life. "Buy this coverage or we'll fine you. Lose weight or we'll fine you. Don't eat that big mac that we've slapped a sin-tax or we'll fine you." I have choices right now. I'm doubtful that anything that comes out of Washington is going to increase the number of choices I have. History suggests the opposite.

    No, in the US you do not have choices, your insurance company and your HMO tell you what doctor/hospital you can use and what level of treatment you can receive. In a country with proper healthcare, such as Canada, i can go to whatever doctor or hospital i choose to, and they will give me the treatment i require, as there is no profit motive or cost issues for them to be concerned with. And i don't receive a bill when i am finished treatment. The overhead in the Canadian healthcare system is approximately 1%, while in the US it approximately 25 - 30% due to your need for billing departments, advertising, CEO salaries, profits, the whole private insurance infrastructure, etc. In a purely capitalist sense, your private healthcare system is a competitive disadvantage for your economy due to its extreme inefficiency compared to publicly funded systems....not to mention that in a publicly funded system you cannot be denied treatment or be dropped from coverage. And our overall tax burden is NOT HIGHER if you take everything into consideration.
