"pro-business conservative mentality" - wow, how wrong are you?

Pretty much - people who complain that the game is 'dumb'd down' never played their old rules set - which were horrible. I also will touch on people moaning about cost because 'of less customers' No - you greedy little nerds - they are raising the prices because they are giving you MOAR plastic in bits (mini accessories) on each spru.

Pricey dice?! 3 bucks for dice and that's 'pricey'

You are wrong. I owned a game shop for 4 years and none of this happened. They will push crappy games like nobody's business, but you don't 'have' to buy, or stock, any one item.

Simma' down people. If you don't like something you vote with your $$ - don't buy the game at all.

It's not only good for the medical industry.

Seriously...I find it funny that when a company performs well and puts out solid product(s) they get so much hate. So much jealously with geeks. I'm not a SC player - the game just looks so-so to me. DIII was a lot of the same, mindless clicking and lots of killing - for some reason it never loses it's appeal. The WoW changes are very cool - guild levels and all. There's no competition between Valve and Blizz- two different markets entirely. Bnet changes are something that should have happened long ago.

You don't remember or refused to understand what happened. The Dixie chicks were shunned BY THEIR CUSTOMERS because their customers held different views of the current situation. Never ONCE were the DixChicks dragged before the media and skewered, in fact the were regarded as something 'super.' (why I have no idea..) They were reckless and moronic to say/do the things they did given their medium. I'm glad that it destroyed their career. Stars need to figure out that they shouldn't express their opinions, its not what people want to see or hear.

Indeed. The record companies AGAIN are going to fail to see an avenue that will only HELP their sagging business.

Progress? Are you sure about that?

Also - it would have been cool for Barry NOT to include lobbyist in his top level cabinet. Please note - if you have NO experience running something and yet you claim that you'll change the flaws in a system..you DON'T surround yourself with people who have supported the system for over 20 years.

#4. You have no idea what you're talking about.

..just as soon as you show what I've lost.

There is nothing in here that will help anyone. The failure has only begun.
