The next SOPA →
The MPAA studios hate us. They hate us with region locks and unskippable screens and encryption and criminalization of fair use. They see us as stupid eyeballs with wallets, and they are entitled to a constant stream of our money. They despise us, and they certainly don’t respect us.
Yet when we watch their movies, we support them.
Even if we don’t watch their movies in a theater or buy their...

GoDaddy Faces boycott over SOPA support →
azspot:
Major Internet companies have formed a united front in their opposition to the Protect IP Act and the Stop Online Piracy Act. Well, almost. One exception has been the domain registrar GoDaddy. In a op-ed published in Politico shortly after SOPA was introduced in the House, GoDaddy applauded the bill and called opponents “myopic.”
Need to move my domains over to another domain...

In the new blockbuster tell-all Throw Them All Out, investigative reporter and Breitbart editor Peter Schweizer reveals that on November 18, 2009, Sen.

So much for the 10th Amendment and states’rights, eh? Why did Prohibition take a constitutional amendment to outlaw alcohol? Because the Constitution of the United States was respected “back in the day”. Not so much anymore.
The Obama administration has ordered all medical-marijuana dispensaries in California to shut down within 45 days or they will be prosecuted and have...

The (Illegal) Private Bus System That Works →
America’s 20th largest bus service — hauling 120,000 riders a day — is profitable and also illegal. It’s not really a bus service at all, but a willy-nilly aggregation of 350 licensed and 500 unlicensed privately-owned “dollar vans” that roam the streets of Brooklyn and Queens, picking up passengers from street corners where city buses are either missing or inconvenient. The dollar van fleet is...

As Federal Crime List Grows, Threshold of Guilt... →
For centuries, a bedrock principle of criminal law has held that people must know they are doing something wrong before they can be found guilty. The concept is known as mens rea, Latin for a “guilty mind.”
This legal protection is now being eroded as the U.S. federal criminal code dramatically swells. In recent decades, Congress has repeatedly crafted laws that weaken or disregard the notion...

Market Order: Proposed List Of Demands For Occupy... →
marketorder:
Well just read over the Occupy movement’s proposed list of demands. Sad to say the only one I agree with is number nine: “Open borders migration. Anyone can travel anywhere to work and live”. Other than that, absolutely no common ground.
Demand one: Restoration of the living wage. This…
Minimum wage of $20 per hour? What the hell, why not make it $50 per hour!?
