Romney (wisely) wasn't running on Bain in 2008.

'I think Adam Smith was right'

Nobody knows who he is in Dixie, Moneybags.

of course Adam Smith is far more complicated than the neolib patron st. version, but, neither here nor there!  I try to shut the critic in me off when I watch these football games.

In general, the copyright laws in the US are pretty much stronger now than they've ever been in world history.  And way too overbroad in protecting old copyrights.  If anything, we need better protection of new copyrights (but not prior restraint-type laws) and less protection of old ones.

Of course, SOPA doesn't really deal with much of that.

whoa, SS and I agree on a policy issue.

Used to be musician, well aware of what's going on in the issue, and my experience says that is what needs to be done.  I'm sure we agree in other areas too - don't let my opinion on certain issues fool you - I have my logic for everything I believe. 

have you read Notes from Underground?
