There's a reverse side to that issue. If the truth about what people are like, and what people do - is known - then it becomes harder to label certian things as "deviant".

Or you could be like me, i am disabled. I will never again concern myself with an employers scouring eyes or opinions. I really do have "free speech".

Congrats - you've hit on the real issue. How about we provide %100 percent extended unemployment for all who loose thier jobs as the prisons and jails begin to empty. (It would still be cheaper for the tax payer than continuing the drug war). It won't take very long for a new economy, and new jobs, to rise around the new Hemp and marijuana industries.

He he. You got me there. Sorry. Typos happen, and often prior to morning coffee.

Everyone repeatedy votes for politicians who do not represent your values. They then complain when said politicians enact policies conflicting with their values - and blame Ralph Nader.

Seriously, shut your whole.

And no, all I drink is coffee. All day, every day. I have LOW blood sugar.

Drink soda all day every day, and count down to diabetes. It's not the real "sugar". It's the high fructose corn syrup.

Now go and study known effects for artificial sweetners. Still think it's a better choice?

For all the faults Microsoft has with their software, at least they did the research and learned how Joe Shmoe uses a computer and designed to the lowest common denominator. That's how they ended up on top.

Crap. The people who "can't use Linux", cannot use Windows either. I eat better because of it. They break their pre-installed version (usually within a few months). Then they pay someone like myself to re-install Windows, and all the drivers and software they need.

If you give them a linux system pre-installed and configured (a thing you can buy from Dell and others now), they are able to use it with the same level of functionality. They can surf teh interwebs, play music, and watch videos.

You've just described the problem, not the solution.

Perhaps journalists/writers should consider the non-profit cooperative model. Journalism isn't dying. The "incentives" are being removed. High paid media careers are dying. The writers will remain - theirs is a call to be heard.

"So much of the initial challenge in an investigation is determining attribution - where are the transmissions coming from?" Michael DuBose, chief of the computer crime and intellectual property section of the Justice Department's criminal division, said in an interview..."

You wouldn't steal a car, and you won't download a mp3 via proxy - as the prison sentence will be the same.

Perhaps you haven't noticed, but politicians are corporate owned goods.

From Time Warners' financial filings:

"High-speed data costs decreased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008 primarily due to a decrease in per-subscriber connectivity costs, partially offset by subscriber growth.

"In 2007, TW made $3,730 Million, on high speed data alone, and then had to turn around and spend $164 Million to support the cost of the network. 2007 total profit on high speed data: $3.566 Billion"

"In 2008, TW made $4,159 Million, on high speed data alone, and then had to turn around and spend $146 Million to support the cost of the network. 2008 total profit on high speed data: $4.013 Billion"

Stop shilling for corporations. Clearly the unlimited broadband model has been extremely profitable.

Wake up and smell the non-corporate content suppression.

Funny, their filings state:
