in my state (florida) it has a 'two-party' law, but i am pretty sure it is not 'consent', specifically, it is 'notification'...
in other words, if i record a phone call, i don't have to get their 'permission', per se, i just have to notify them i am recording...
if *they* choose to terminate the call/conversation because i am recording, that is their choice...
otherwise, i've notified them, and can record to my heart's delight...
1. don't think it is a crime against humanity either way: either a satirical story was mistaken for true-true (yes, i just saw the big mess that is 'cloud atlas'); or a true-true story was tagged mistakenly as satirical...
2. here's the thing: with the -literally- unbelievable lengths the MAFIAA and their foreign counterparts engage in to squeeze pennies out of widows, orphans, and the blind for activities that 99.99999999999999999% of us think are acceptable, it is EASY to believe ANY crazy, impractical, unjust extreme bullshit that we hear about is true-true...
in other words, it is IMPOSSIBLE to exaggerate, make up ANY extreme scenario, or go so far beyond the pale to satirize copyright maximalists; because NO MATTER HOW EXTREME and ridiculous a scenario is, they have already gotten laws to that effect, or would if they could...
IT IS IMPOSSIBLE to make any hyperbolic statements regarding their draconian 'enforcement' of so-called IP laws, because next week you will be reading that is EXACTLY what they did or are trying to do...
they are extrajudicial murderers of poor brown people around the globe...
"The Navy SEALs, specifically SEAL Team 6, forever cemented their already laudible place in American history when they killed former public enemy number one Osama bin Laden."
again, you call extrajudicial murderers as cementing their 'laudable' place in American his story when they will be excoriated as the lawless, immoral murderers they are WHEN this collectively insane society returns to quaint things called morals and laws...
meanwhile, it takes a few ne'er-do-wells and social pariahs like me to point out the obvious: THEY ARE KILLERS FOR EMPIRE, they are not 'defending democracy' or 'fighting them there, so we don't have to fight them here', they are eliminating the enemies of Empire, and those brave lads in black will HAPPILY exterminate fellow US citizens when the need arises...
they are NOT heroes, they are lawless thugs killing whoever Empire points them at...
wake up you stupid sheeple, this ain't your forefather's amerika any more...

i don't listen to a lot of contemporary pop/rock/etc, but -at least 90% of the time- i pay near zero attention to the lyrics because:
1. most of the time you can't understand anything but the chorus, anyway...
2. don't often provide lyrics with the 'album'/cd anymore, so can't learn the lyrics, EVEN IF i wanted to...
3. i mean -c'mon- its freakin' pop lyrics, i'm going to learn something from 'ooo, baby, i love you, do you love me?' for the millionth time ?
4. for me -and i think for a lot of people- it is the 'sound' of the song, the lyrics could be gobbledygook (as they often are), and it will still be the 'sound' that catches our attention...
5. *IF* there are poetic, interesting, or profound lyrics associated with the song, that is one in a million...
now, the MAFIAA wants to make the lyrics even more irrelevant to the listeners...

actually, we *do* have a system that is more reliable than computer-based voting systems, is cheaper, is actually auditable(!), and has worked for hundreds/thousands of years:
Paper Ballots
Hand Counted
Locally Reported
*Not* that this system is impossible to game, it is just infinitely more difficult to game *that* whole system, rather than having hidden, un-auditable, PROPRIETARY software/hardware which can be gamed with NO ONE the wiser...
(based on a true story)
which is exactly WHY we won't be instituting such a system: the two-headed korporate money party WANTS a system they can control/game...
this tired old quote bears repeating until all the sheeple get it: if voting changed anything, it would be illegal...
'first the beheading, then the trial ! ! !'
to paraphrase lewis...
this goes against the grain of all principles of 'fairness', and for what is -to society- a nothingburger...
these greedy bastards aren't upholding culture, they are locking it away and destroying it...
*just* happened to catch this movie the other night, and while it wasn't awful, it wasn't nearly as good as the other Tuskeegee Airmen movie which covered a lot of the same ground (air?)...
not saying he shouldn't be proud he did a movie about that (but, um, it was *already* done, and done well), but maybe if he paid attention to the actual movie rather than HIS 'pride' of 'doing good', he would have shot a better film...

1. it is all kabuki theatre, only some folks still think its 'real'...
2. rethugs and dem'rats are two-sides of the same korporate money coin... in actuality, they are in collusion to maintain the status quo, not real adversaries of any significance...
3. third party candidates are -while TECHNICALLY possible- all but impossible to vote in since the system is gamed from top to bottom by the duopoly...
4. far too many sheeple *don't* believe in their own civil rights, or have been convinced by the propagandists that they *have to* give them up, or are simply too busy working, raising kids, sucking off the glass teat, and eating cheezy doodles and sugar water to care...
it will be too late when they start to 'care'...

1. not a huge choco fan, but it has minimal caffeine (took a choco factory tour a little while back which passed on this factoid)...
2. *however*, a true and natural fun fact, is that caffeine is actually 'more deadly' (based on LD50) than cocaine...
3. the other caffeine factoid of interest, is that you pretty quickly become inured to the effect, so you are just taking more and more caffeine to stay a 'normal' amount of alertness...
just sayin...
