You gotta be kidding us.

Back when Baby Boomers were "young", they used to protest and laud freedom of speech againt authority. Those of us in younger generations often suspected that they were just waiting until they became the authorities, then they'd favor silence.

Those days have arrived.

Nothing like those baby-boomers who were all for freedom of expression long, long ago. Again, we must note that a video game, a movie, a book or piece or music or painting CANNOT be VIOLENT unto itself! They are depictions, or all kinds of things, and do not bring direct harm to another person. The very term "violent video game" is erroneous and works to prejudice people before the argument is even engaged.

Also, we must note that as video games have become more and more popular, violent crime in the US has DROPPED. There is no way to prove causation, but the correlation is very strong. In no way can a politician claim that videos that depict violence lead to violent acts on the part of real people.

Good for him. His new film, "Django Unchained" is set in 1860. Its characters use language natural to the time. If he had written a story set in Elizabethan England, he wouldn't use Valley Girl language. Tarantino has also noted the vastly destructive forces unleashed by the unconstitutional so-called "war" on drugs. Another great insight. Kudos to him for sticking to his guns when it comes to his work and the plight of many hurt by the gubment's "war" on drugs.

The author of such astounding work as "Farenheit 451" and "Something Wicked This Way Comes", has died. He was productive until his final days. A great stylist, his beautiful form of writing was matched by his stories themselves. He has left an indellible mark on the world and the fiction of the world. Rest in peace, Mr. Bradbury.

"The Glorious End" - P.G.G.

Some days you just can't see

The vision of the humble, that the forest's made of trees.

There's a bit of shame, for each one's name

The boxes beside, the laying of blame.

Old stodgy, old fun

Fake jewelry, makeup run

Fierce eye-gaze, rank sweat glaze

They're running, running, running

For the Glorious End.

Sometimes it comes to me

The recitation, beautiul mantras, three.

For a whole of us, for a nation's name

Any act is excused, no laying of blame.

"Old Glory", old one

Fake jewelry, my son

Wear it proudly, for all to see

Uh-oh.

Hey, everyone! I hope I can engender your support for a very talented friend. Her name is Joylynne Chrislan and her latest film, "Capital Punishment", has been entered in the Student Life and Leadership Film Festival. You can view it and the others here: http://www.slccfilmfestival.blogspot.com/p/drama.html and then you can follow the rules for non-students to send in your votes. I hope I can entice you to watch hers, see the quality, and then offer her your vote of support! Do it before the close of voting on the 20th!

Yep. Kudos to the NYT and ABC's Jake Tapper for pointing this out. But why aren't more leftists up in arms?

As we try to stress, employing a government/state paradigm to try to solve issues of copyright and patent protection inevitably leads to a one-size-fits-all, top-down system that crushes free communication and market exchange. A voluntary system would work better. But for more than two centuries, the US and other western nations have not allowed for that kind of a system.

One doesn't need government to establish systems of property rights, market exchange, and property rights protections.

First, we know that nothing is ever really dead in gubment. A change in executive branch policy could revive this unconstitutional rule and have it enforced by the unconstitutional FCC (very Soviet of them, isn't it?)...

But this is a good move as it stands. The so-called "fairness doctrine" never had anything to do with fairness. It promoted the false idea that the federal gubment has a place in regulating the content of ideas broadcast over the airwaves. It was used to shake-down broadcasters and limit opposing points of view, and it hurt market incentives to provide for the audience what they wanted to hear.

Here is the link to the BBC story.

As GG noted at the SFX website:

'...she was magical. It’s strange to grow from a child who dives into the world of Sarah Jane Smith, seeing her heroism and also viewing the character as “the perfect girl”, to someone older, having met her, and walked on air in her presence. She was an integral part of something transcendent, and led her life in ways that a grown-up fan can admire. I’m crushed and broken. What can one say at this time without falling apart? Have you ever seen a dream walking? That was Lis Sladen… Rest in Peace, Lis.'

The man who was Brigadier Alistair Gordon Lethbridge-Stweart on 'Dr. Who' has passed away. He was born in 1929.

He was a true gentleman.

Five rounds, rapid, Brig!

In this piece, you'll read the arguments of MD Sineater Bennie Cardin, as he equates one unjustified rational for government actions (the fact that governments have taken over the roads since the mid-1800's) to pushing for government actions regarding "security" in the interwebs.

http://www.infosecurity-us.com/view/14579/senate-bill-would-require-mini...

Not only is it unconstitutional, not only does it not allow individuals and owners of businesses to make up their own minds about how many resources they want to devote to internet security, it presupposes that the government will be MORE secure than private industry. Does anyone believe that?

Does anyone imagine he will be gone forever?

Doubtful.

But don't forget, this is the same guy who was enthralled with so-called "Campaign Finance Reform" that would stifle interest groups from advertising about politicians, force small organizations to disclose all their contributors, and restrict businesses from speaking out about issues prior to elections. Meanwhile, Olberman has his place to spout (like many right-wing commentators, to be fair) and he doesn't have to mention to anyone that he's donating to the very candidates and politicians he's asking to appear on his show.

Double standards abound in leftism.

It looks like it will be pretty cool. If you're in NH, MA or ME, check it out!
