So you're sayin' there's a chance!

He praises the lack of "snobbery" about books, and then goes on to declare books to be superior to e-books.
I love books, I have 1400 or so, and I only buy e-books that I don't really care much about (like Microsoft books that will be out of date in 1 year). But that is my preference. I can't make an objective case that books are superior to e-books, and neither can Gaiman.
50% of the population have a corpus callosum that is above average in size.
Does anybody else research drugs you are given, or do people just swallow whatever the doctor gives them?
It depends on the kinds of notes you take. If you are taking notes for a class, maybe not so much.
If you are keeping a list of movies you want to see this year, or a grocery list, those could prompt ads, and is valuable information to sell.
Can someone please explain to me why one would use this distro instead of just installing packages with Debian? I've never understood the appeal.
No, American conservatives are very fearful. They fear terrorists, and demand the government protect them, even if that means loss of rights. They fear criminals, and demand guns to defend themselves, even though statistics clearly show that having a gun in your home puts you at greater risk. They fear gays and Muslims and commies and immigrants and regulations. They're not bad people, they just like life as it is, and are fearful of anything that might cause changes in their current life style.
What I can't disagree with anything you said, it is incomplete. In addition, "liberals" are fearful of personal responsibility and a free market.
Both sides are based on fear of freedom.
This is probably correct. I went from Republican, to Libertarian, to anarchist, over about 8 years. It's not that my views changed all that much (they did change a little), but mostly I just realized that not only were Republicans not the party of freedom, but that there was no party of freedom, or rather, that freedom doesn't come from government. My core desire (to be allowed to act according to my own reason) remained the same.
Weird. I'm pretty sure I've bought many copies of 2600 at B&N.
This "niceness" requires physical interaction (the ability to evaluate the person's physiological response, through mirror neurons and such). Most of us are hesitant to shove a gun in someone's face and tell them they can't smoke that joint, or they have to pay someone else's medical bills, or they can't marry that guy. However, we are perfectly happy to send government to do those same things. Just as long as we can't see it. Out of sight, out of mind.
because President Obama just put taxpayers on the hook for new nuclear power plants in Georgia
The keyword there is "new".
