Well, I mean, it's their job to stop illegal downloading. They have to try to stop it save for a massive, massive overhaul of how profits are distributed in the music industry (which I guess isn't necessarily very far off), so in that regard, they'll always be douche bags. I'm just glad they're no longer creating lawsuits against dead people and little girls.

It's lookin' good, Ben. Mood tags are interesting, I'll have to test them out for a while to offer any input.

In that regard, note how the internet has essentially opened up our minds to entirely new methods of thinking. Then, think about what those that have had this their entire lives are going to do with that. The kids being born right now or in the past few years who have had this internet for their entire lives are going to interpret the internet in an entirely new way, going so many new/different directions with it. We still have SO far to go as a society. It opens up a lot of doors technologically and is a nice, optimistic alternative to a lot of other ways of thinking.

My expository writing class is all about how cognitive and societal development is based around the technology of the time and I love it. I have to write a 10 page paper on how something like Google or file sharing or texting or mass digitalization can advance our society and what it means for democracy.

NO WAY. This owns so hard.

Interesting read. If I were voting, I'm not sure which way I would vote on this. High speed rail sounds like a great idea, though.

I can't vote. :(

That's something that, simply by living in California, we are for the most part not shown: lots of middle America is extreme. I mean, I'm at a college campus so it isn't SO bad, but in Oklahoma I have encountered so many people that will admit to being racist. 5 or so people on my floor alone aren't voting for Obama SIMPLY because he's black. Lots are grossly racist and homophobic.

I'm sure that a lot of people wouldn't believe it, but the people in that video exist all over. Outside of California and New England and a few others, of course.

I guess I never commented on this...

This rules. I was sitting here cracking up and my Oklahoma friends were looking at me as if I were crazy. Hopefully I can get around to checking this out soon, doing something similar.

Feel Good Ghosts is loads better than The Meaning of 8. Wowzerz is this good.
