This is actually one of the most sensible posts I've seen on the RIAA and downloading. Personally, I believe that the impetus behind the RIAA's opposition to downloading isn't protection of the artists, but protection of the management of the record labels.What do you think?

A friend sent me this, and I'm somehwat curious. Do you think that things are as one-sided as this assumes?Dear President Bush: I'm about to plan a little trip with my family and extended family, and I would like to ask you to assist me. I'm going to walk across the border from the U.S. into Mexico, and I need to make a few arrangements. I know you can help with this. I plan to skip all

Race is, increasingly, an obsolete concept, kept alive by the politically-correct and the haters. Most people, at least in the U.S., aren't of just one race these days. And much of what people consider race isn't; it's often cultural. Thus, 'Hispanic' isn't a race; there are black, white, Indian and all manner of mixes of those three who would be considered 'Hispanic'. Same goes for all European

I've just started reading the Koran (E.H. Palmer translation), and what is one of the first things I see, but: IN the name of the merciful and compassionate God. ALIF LAM MIM. That is the book! there is no doubt therein; a guide to the pious, who believe in the unseen, and are steadfast in prayer, and of what we have given them expend in alms; who believe in what is revealed to thee, and what was

If we really want to do something about crime, we've first got to stop making it so profitable. The quickest way to do that is to end the War on Drugs, which hasn't accomplished anything, except to make a lot of bad people very rich. Legalize and regulate drug sales, so they have to meet Truth-in-labeling laws. Take all the money we're wasting on drug law enforcement, and put it into treatment

Why should we keep making more and more complicated laws and regulations to try to control campaign financing? All we're really doing is creating a system that's incredibly difficult to oversee and enforce. Let's try something simpler. Sure, there are parallels between campaign contributions and speech. But there are even stronger parallels between campaign contributions and voting. So why not

I don't usually like to use the 'H' word, but spam is one of those things that actually deserves it. It's invasive, it wastes your time, it uses up bandwidth, most of it is part of a scam (of one sort or another). But what can be done about it (and similar things, such as malware)?Well, my first take is that we need a Constitutional amendment, tentatively: Information about a citizen belongs
