Comment Re:Translation for the legislative impared. (Score 1) 703

Wondering where you get your facts from... The Jewish number looks like it includes ALL jews, so that number is definitely not comparable to the rest of your "facts". You'd have to separate it out by sect (orthodox, reform, conservative, conservareformadoxative, secular), just like you did with the Christians. (Ah, but at least you admit that "Atheists, Agnostics" is a religion. Though I would not group them together - atheist "beliefs" are rational.)

Welcome to the new corporate America.

I'm sorry, did I read that right? New? Corporations, lobbyists paid for by said corporations, and politicians "bribed" by lobbyists money (from their corporations) have been around for quite some time.

What you do not realize is that the new thing that came to this country is that people are now able to express their views in ways that make it easy for politicians to see what the people care about. And no matter how much money is involved, senator x ain't gonna get any lovin' from his corporation if he gets voted out of office, and these days, he is able to find out pretty easily what will keep him in office.

So what is happening now is that our politicians are slowly emerging to stick their heads a little bit out of their corporations pockets' and listen with about half an ear to what the people want.

Last I checked, no radio stations signed any contracts with PF limiting how they can play their music over the air.

Besides, even artists who "want to preserve their art intact" would be interested in getting the exposure from having (even) only part of a whole album played on the radio.

Comment Only cool if no/lower copay (Score 1) 74

The only way I would consider something like this is if it was sans copay. Otherwise, any situation where it would be useful will be replaced by me just calling my doctor. Shockingly,you can actually call an upstanding doc for a quick question without going through the insurance co at all. And for any issues I wouldn't feel comfortable resolving over the phone, I am going in to the office anyway - the internet be damned.

Though after this program is in effect, I wouldn't be surprised if doctors refuse to take regular calls, only "paid" calls.
