So how much does a paid shill make?
They get paid in shillings of course. Though the advent of the Euro has made it a far less profitable enterprise.

If children are involved, you can stream as low as 300 kbit/s (like I do) and they won't care. That's about equal to VHS or youtube-360p in quality.
I watch about 2 hours a day... 8 on weekends. So that's 16+2*5 == 26 per week or 111 for the month. 250GB/111 hours == 5 Mbit/s. Most streams don't come anywhere near that amount so I'd not worry about going over the limit. And just to be sure I'd watch everything in SD (which is what comcast cable serves anyway).
All you'd do with your internet connection is watch TV?
The other day, I stepped on dog shit. You know what means - global warming. It's clear as day how that comes about, unless you're a "denier".
It's true. Had there been no global warming you would have stepped IN dog shit.
As far as the food industry is concerned, labelling is equivalent to banning genetically modified food.
As far as I am concerned, if they can't sell it for what it is, then they shouldn't be selling it.
That's not entirely true. Look at High Fructose Corn Syrup. It has been labelled as such (vs. real sugar) for a while, and there are technically alternatives, but all of the big name sodas (and a whole slew of other products) still use it. Even with its richly deserved bad publicity, it is still out there and being sold a lot.
After all I have read about this "class" of people, I can reach no other conclusion. Same goes for the politicians hired-hands... the bureaucrats.
You are under the illusion that there are people who are not scumbags. How quaint.
Keep seeing all these whippersnappers nowadays wearing the same clothes I wore years ago.
You should have thought of that before you donated them.
Do you really think it's illegal because of "right-wing lies"? Why did Obama recently refuse to even entertain the idea of decriminalizing marijuana, despite most of Latin America being in favor of it?
I can answer this one at least. It turns out politicians don't really care much about "winning votes". They are far more concerned about not losing votes. If you embrace a change which is unpopular with a significant subset of your voter base, then you are going to lose.
That's why it's mildly surprising that Obama came out pro-gay marriage. Although, I guess the subset of his voter base that is against it is pretty small.
I blogged about your comment on angrylibertarian.tumblr.com if you care (I did it even if you don't care too).
This is from your blog:
Iâ(TM)m pretty sure that nobody in their right mind is claiming that âoeWhat I do doesnâ(TM)t affect youâ but rather the claim is âoeNot everything that affects you allows you to legitimately respond with violenceâ.
Now since you were responding to me, and I was talking about helmet laws, how do you get "respond with violence" from "require motorcycle riders to wear helmets or goggles"?
I think this is how libertarians get their reputation as being a little bit goofy.
Hey man, calm down, there's no reason to get all violent!

* Well, I know that there is a team called the "Red Socks" but I have no idea whether it's a baseball or football team, nor do I care about it enough to ask Wikipedia.
There's no such team in the NFL or the MLB. However, the Boston Red Sox are a professional baseball team (MLB). So, the one little fact you knew about sports was wrong. That's a shame.
I'd explain the difference between an earned run and an unearned run, but I know deep down you don't give a shit.
Carl Sagan would be pround.
He sure woulnd.
