Barack Obama, Change we can believe in?

Crosswords says...

I think the interviwer is uninformed as well. Under Obama's proposed plan health care is optional, and under both Obama and Hillary's plan a person may choose to enroll in any insurance plan they want and opt out of the government insurance. Choice isn't being taken away, its about giving people who have no health insurance an option. As far as the pharmaceutical companies go Obama supports allowing the importation of cheaper priced drugs. From what I understand pharmaceuticals sold in other countries, by the same companies, are heavily marked up in the US. He's also mentioned trying to stop the practice of large pharmaceuticals paying generic drug makers not to make a generic of their drug. If you want to call him a liar and say he wants to force everyone on the same government based health care plan so it'll stuff billions more into the pockets of the health care industry fine, but preface it with what he actually said he was going to do, then call him a liar and a tool.

As far as voters who don't really have a clue what their candidate stands for, well they're in every camp, they support Obama, they support McCain, Hillary and even Ron Paul. They just hang onto slogans and sound bites, and repeat them as if they had substance. What're you gonna do, that's people for ya.

I would also like to point out sticking a camera in someone's seems to have a stupefying effect on many people. Give them a few moments to compose their thoughts and they'll give a better answer. Of course, some people are just stupid.

For those who want to sing along

and the chicken tastes like wood
so you try to play it off like you think you can
by sayin that youre full
and then your friend says momma he's just being polite
he aint finished uh uh that's bull
so your heart starts pumpin and you think of a lie
and you say that you already ate
and your friend says man there's plenty of food
so you pile some more on your plate
while the stinky foods steamin your mind starts to dreamin
of the moment that it's time to leave
and then you look at your plate and your chickens slowly rottin
into something that looks like cheese
oh so you say that's it i got to leave this place
i dont care what these people think
im just sittin here makin myself nauseous
with this ugly food that stinks
so you bust out the door while its still closed
still sick from the food you ate
and then you run to the store for quick relief
from a bottle of kaopectate
and then you call your friend two weeks later
to see how he has been
and he says i understand about the food
baby bubbah but we're still friends
with a hip hop the hippie to the hippie
the hip hip a hop a you dont stop the rockin
to the bang bang boogie
say up jump the boogie to the rhythm of the boogie the beat

You're right about the money aspect; it's too big to be ignored. I also think the internet is positively shaping the music industry. I've found so many great artists since I went online that I know I NEVER would have heard otherwise.

I hear there's lots of good porn online too.

In reply to this comment by MINK:
education is a problem, but i think the money is a bigger problem. money and art are just incompatible somehow. I think it would take a lot of regulation to get more variety in the charts, ironically. More rules, more variety.

Trouble is designing the rules

i think if the internet really does end the reign of big labels it will be a good thing, but i know that big labels will always have the trump card of marketing budget. Money gravitates to itself, and gets together in a bunch to force people to like stuff they wouldn't like if there was a level playing field.

What people think is their opinion is always passed through the filter before it gets to them. That's why i stress exploration and having varied sources. You can apply that to anything, not just music.

Imagine saying: I just LIKE the theory of intelligent design, don't be such a snob with your evolution and your "evidence", it's all just a matter of interpretation.

lol

Actually I appreciate most of what you said. I agree that if people spent more time learning about music (or any other art form, for that matter) then there would be a lot less crapola plaguing our culture because people would stop listening to Britney Spears and Ashlee Simpson. But what are you gonna do? As long as there's been art there has been shitty art. I imagine that some of the earliest cave drawings also shared space with crudely drawn boners ejaculating into Neanderthal faces.

If you're in a sewer surrounded by turds, it might be slightly more tolerable if one of those turds makes you happy for some bizarre reason. Maybe it looks like a banana.

/\ Political comedy only works when you make an astute observation. This seems to be people laughing at something that they think should be funny that they haven't actually connected the relevant dots about.

They say if you're about to be trapped underwater, you should take a deep breath... LOL! THAT'S THE BEST ADVICE? TAKE A DEEP BREATH? WHAT IS THIS 2008?

Oh.. wait a minute, what else are you gonna do? Hmm guess it's not so funny afterall!

Penn & Teller - Bullshit - Gun Control

MINK says...

number of crazy fucking shootouts in UK shopping centres and schools in the last twenty years: one i think. then handguns were banned. hasn't been another one.

"if you outlaw guns only the criminals will have them"
GOOD because there's less criminals than law abiding people, and they tend to shoot each other, not us.

If i am mugged by a guy with a gun, and I don't have a gun, what are the chances of my getting shot? Like, zero. I just hand him my wallet and phone and that's that. I am not gonna get all medieval on someone's ass for taking a small amount of money and a phone which is insured. I am not gonna "defend my property" by risking my life. Take my property. I can get some more later.

As for defending my home from an evil government, well, how about you GET REAL. It's already been said, they got nukes and apaches and clusterbombs and shit, look at Iraq, they have millions of AK's and suicide bombers and it doesn't save them from being colonised.

What are you gonna do, sit on your roof with your Magnum .44 and shout "DEATH TO THE FASCIST OVERLORDS" as a cruise missile targets your town hall?

And to those who dismiss peaceful protest... LOL. As if it's never been tried and never worked before. LOL!

Someone invoked Tiananmen Square as an exammple of the failure of peaceful protest. Erm... have you noticed something called the market economy in China lately?

7 Countries considering abandoning the US dollar (Worldaffairs Talk Post)

MINK says...

^omfg.
that's .. like... omfg looris. you can't buy oil without dollars. so...

this is how bushco gets away with completely devaluing the dollar... nobody seems to be awake.

i earn GBP and USD, i spend EUR (well, LTL, but it's linked to EUR)
let me tell you, i have lost work from american clients because they just can't afford it.

this is VERY serious, and if anyone says "we need to stay in iraq to sort out the mess" just refer them to the fact that dollars aren't worth shit. i know it's nice to "bring democracy to the middle east" but if you just can't afford it, what are you gonna do?

also check out robert newman's history of oil for very interesting information about what happens to people (saddam) who try to abandon the dollar. notice that none of america's poodles are in the list. now you understand what the "axis of evil" is all about.

Why aren't heads rolling? No one ever seems to be held to account in this administration. Where are the impeachment proceedings and court martial hearings? All we get nowadays is "yeah, we fucked up, what are you gonna do?"
