It's great for digging up classic movies as well as new releases/shows (as long as you don't mind waiting). Thanks to them I've seen a lot of obscure films that I might not have otherwise tried. After DVD shuts down then I'll treat Netflix like the other streaming services. Just cancel it when there's nothing in particular that I want to watch. The DVD service is what's kept me subscribed for almost 20 years. Only Amazon gives a reason to stay stick around thanks to Prime.

Are there companies that treat leakers well? I would think most (successful) companies put a lot of work into keeping their secrets secret.

Billy Joel should write a song about this kind of situation!

Isn't 13 a little young to be inventing something as complex as the internet? Are you like an extreme tiger parent or something?

Lott has been debunked a few times. Here's a recent article with a summary explaining the flaws in his reports:

Regarding the Cato Institute's examples of Israel and Switzerland: seems like cherry picking two small, mostly homogenous societies. What about places that are more comparable to the US like Germany or France?

And for your final example: how many guns per person do those seven European countries have and how does that number compare to the US? Our country is flooded with guns. Just about enough for every man, woman, and child.

Anyway, I don't think gun control will ever be implemented in the US in a way to produce any meaningful results. That ship sailed over two hundred years ago. We might as well just get used to the idea of mass shootings occurring on a regular basis with ever increasing body counts.

Thanks for the years of edutainment (and my second Fark green light)! Best of luck to you in your new endeavors.
