Big search conspiracies!!!!1!!1! They're everywhere!!!
Does Big Search fly black helicopters yet?? Did Big Search pull the trigger on the grassy knoll?? Did Big Search bury Elvis with Sasquatch and the space alien(tm) in Area 51? Does your mother know you wear your underwear on your head?
Paywall boB!! So nice of you to stop by and enlighten us with your witty words of wisdom. After reading your nuggets of insight, I am refreshed and ready to face the day!
Watching our political process is like watching a slow-motion train wreck. It's terrifying to watch, but you're unable to look away. I'm absolutely horrified the direction our country is now going. The steady build up of corporate power at the expense of the ordinary voter is unprecedented. Citizens United is just the tip of the iceberg, and those in power are unwilling to give even a scrap of power. A disenfranchised voter base, and the complete corruption of our political system has sown the seeds of a looming disaster.
Yes - you can have complex, well-acted dramas without HBO's paywall... In fact I'm going to say that they are late comers to the complex, well-acted drama serializations... But don't just take my word for it... use that forgetten mass of grey goo in your head - your brain if *very* useful if you'd use it once in a while.
Seriously - you're frothing (santoruming) at the mouth to spew anything against Mike or Leigh really causes you to stick your foot in your mouth constantly... how's that shoe leather taste?
If dying legacy industries are dictating the terms of democracy - how do we reframe the debate discussion to balance it out? Beyond the usual "Mike is a pirate apologist" or "Burn them all to the ground" - how can we ensure that the wreckage of these "industries" will not poison our future?
...by entering the "internet" you are leaving the borders of the United States. Therefore, any actions you take while in the internet are the actions of a terrorist. When you leave the "internet" you are re-entering the borders of the United States, and therefore are subject to inspection, forfeiture, groping, probing, and mind flashing without right of redress. IF you don't like these terms you qualify for a free, extended stay at our luxurious Hotel Guantanamo... Have a nice day!
It is *never* to early to point indignation at the state of copyright law in this country. The botched abortion of a law that is DMCA doesn't even rise to the level of indignation, more like contempt...
