We always have the law...right?

So regulation and oversight is bad...that is for corporations. But for our sorry asses...




WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President George W. Bush signed into law on Monday a controversial bill that would stiffen penalties for movie and music piracy at the federal level.
The law creates an intellectual property czar who will report directly to the president on how to better protect copyrights both domestically and internationally. The Justice Department had argued that the creation of this position would undermine its authority.
The law also toughens criminal laws against piracy and counterfeiting, although critics have argued that the measure goes too far and risks punishing people who have not infringed.
The Recording Industry Association of America and Motion Picture Association of America backed the bill, as did the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.
"By becoming law, the PRO-IP Act sends the message to IP criminals everywhere that the U.S. will go the extra mile to protect American innovation," said Tom Donohue, president and CEO of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.
Counterfeiting and piracy costs the United States nearly $250 billion annually, according to the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.
Rick Cotton, general counsel for NBC Universal, said the bill would give movie and music makers more tools to fight what he called a "tidal wave" of counterfeiting and piracy of everything from medical devices to automobile parts to media by organized crime.
"That is at the core of what this discussion is about," he said. "It is not about teenagers."
Cotton said he did not expect an IP czar to be named before Bush's term ended in January.
Richard Esguerra, spokesman for the Electronic Frontier Foundation, said he was relieved to see lawmakers had stripped out a measure to have the Justice Department file civil lawsuits against pirates, which would have made the attorneys "pro bono personal lawyers for the content industry."
But the advocacy group Public Knowledge had argued that the law went too far, especially given that fair use of copyrighted material was already shrinking.
Public Knowledge particularly opposed a measure that allowed for the forfeiture of devices used in piracy.
"Let's suppose that there's one computer in the house, and one person uses it for downloads and one for homework. The whole computer goes," said Public Knowledge spokesman Art Brodsky.
Brodsky argued that, at best, the bill was unnecessary because the recording and movie industry had the right to take accused infringers to court.
"There's already lots and lots of penalties for copyright violations," he said. "They've got all the tools they need."

THIS DEVIL DOESN'T NEED AN ADVOCATE

Quit saying we need to ban words like NIGGER, BITCH, AND HOE. We need those words for past and future reference…when you hear someone use that word you know they are stupid! It is a helpful tool. Hopefully the youth of today can understand that those words started as a precursor to an assault on the body, the spirit, and the history of violence that our predecessors lived with should not be forgotten.
Guns don’t kill people…people kill people! So NO gun control! You control yours and Ill control mine. But if one more NRA fucker defends the right to bear arms that has a hollow tipped bullet I say we shoot him with one and then if he still is for the right to bear arms we will let him keep it.

What in the hell is wrong with saying “all I want from you is sex”!
It is forward and honest! Damn isn’t that what you want the right to choose?! I see women give it up with less honesty even though you know the truth!

Let Musiq or Maxwell show up with a white wife and Sisters would lynch their asses!!!!!!!!!!!!!

IN THE END I SHALL BE MY ONLY ENEMY

Imagine for a moment you are an addict, I mean hardcore, do not worry about the drug or activity of choice. Any help you seek will recommend stopping it and replacing it with something healthy.
Now with that in mind there are many addictions we live with day to day, yet consciously go on with them. Lets start with the one I see on the daily…Greed.

Greed is called a selfish desire to obtain money, wealth, material possessions or any other entity more than one legitimately needs. Greed is listed as one of the Catholic seven deadly sins, usually by the synonym of avarice. A basic desire to increase one's wealth is generally considered acceptable in Western culture, and simple want is not considered greed. Instead, most believe that there are varying degrees to the pursuit of material wealth, with greed being the most extreme form, with one desiring things simply for the purpose of having them. Greed may entail acquiring material possessions at the expense of another person's welfare (for example, a father buying himself a new car rather than fix the roof of his family's home) or otherwise reflect flawed priorities.
When greed entails the covetousness of another person's attributes, the term envy is used. When greed is applied to the subject of the excessive consumption of food or drink the term gluttony is often used, another of the Catholic seven deadly sins. Greed is sometimes represented by the frog.
Buddhists believe greed is based on incorrectly connecting material wealth with happiness. This is caused by a view that exaggerates the positive aspects of an object.
Proponents of ultra-capitalism, including Objectivists, argue that greed should not be considered a negative trait and should instead be embraced, as they claim it is the emotion on which the capitalist economic system is based. Critics have argued this definition confuses greed with self interest, which can be more benign.

I place this one at the highest of them all due to the fact that I am in school for psychology. I ask myself with what is wrong with the world today how can anyone truly be helped? The biggest reason this question was posed is I see how much of ourselves are so heavily guarded. We do not share the only thing we have of any significant value…us.
We live as if we are stockpiling everything we consider to be valuable, all the while knowing the only time we share is to “flex”. I understand that it is in our nature not to be trusting of every Tom, Dick, and Harry, but are we truly placing our allegiance in those who have not the interest of the collective at heart.
Hell, even Ayn Rand whom many intellects admire and study endorses the “individual” over the “collective”. And with that in mind we have become the devolution of man, not the improved, just the new man.
One day when these thoughts rang in my head I came with an answer that I cant seem to let go of…we must work together or perish…yes I said perish! Remove your emotional filters for a moment and ask, are we improving the world we live in? If the answer is no or I’m not certain we are on our way to nowhere. The saying” if you are not getting better you are getting worse” echoes in my mind.
There are too many secrets we keep and far too many “things” we just wont share. For the life of me I don’t know why unless it is greed based…you know.
I wont share my knowledge because someone will do better than me and “I” will be considered a failure.
I will cheat on my spouse because if they know they might leave me or want in on the action.
I wont share my wealth because then how would people know “im” rich.
Hidden agendas permeate through our day to day lives so much that it is not only accepted it is imitated. We embrace the rich only hoping to one day get what they have, as if we can learn from the very people who keep us in our places. We admire the intellects as if they are going to one day on their deathbeds share that knowledge.
I am not having that we need everything now not later. Later has become too late too many times for us to accept that philosophy.
So what can we replace with that dangerous stance…trust.
I truly look forward to your thoughts on this, more so than your opinion. The difference is I don’t want you to tell me if you like it(although it will be appreciated), I would like to know what we can do to unite one another.

PRIDE IN THE NAME OF LOVE

If—
by Rudyard Kipling
(‘Brother Square-Toes’—Rewards and Fairies)
If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about, don’t deal in lies,
Or being hated, don’t give way to hating,
And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise:
If you can dream—and not make dreams your master;
If you can think—and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you’ve spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build ’em up with worn-out tools:
If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breathe a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: ‘Hold on!’
If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings—nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it,
And—which is more—you’ll be a Man, my son!



Now, with that being said where in the fuck is that man?
I know he or she is at home looking at the state of this country, all races, and all creeds, thinking “WHY WOULD I EVER LEAD YOU FUCKERS”?
Our pride in things that we love has destroyed the very fiber of our world. There has yet to be a detractor come forth and say it is wrong. What is wrong? Everything is wrong. Education…failure, relationships…do you really think Oprah has the answers? Health care…do you even have it? JOBS AND WAGES…HOW IN THE WORLD CAN YOU BUY A LOAF OF BREAD WHEN YOU MAKE 6.50 AN HR?
Now, with that being said there is a disconnect from the things we love and the things we dislike about it.
I love my child and, they need to act right, I love my neighborhood, and it needs to be rebuilt. I love my mate and they need to prove that love. I love my country and it needs to get it together.
Note, there was not one mention of the word but…you know the word that negates everything you have previously said. Time and time again we have gone with the grain, lived in our comfort zones and not just one time realized that there is entirely too much pain in these directions.
Where is the going in a different direction, because the way we are going is the wrong way?
Where is the you know” I LOVE THIS AND IT CAN BE BETTER, BECAUSE IT HAS TO BE.”
We live in disparagement yet, we just wont say its wrong, here is why, and here is what we can do differently to correct it.
Not live like this or be afraid of the class bully saying
“YOU CANT JUST CUT AND RUN”

Why!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Maybe im losing my shit here…either we don’t get it or we just don’t care.

There is a reason I wrote this…a lot of people feel the same way! I think we have lost sight of the purpose of why and how and gotten on the path of whom.
We have become victims of the “cult of personality”. I don’t care who gets me universal health care, a good and accessible education, and living wage, not a minimum wage, world peace through diplomacy, and above all equality! What I do care about is how we do it. Can we effectively create these things where someone does not gain by another group’s loss? Also can we listen to the loud decay of the presents past still in our future and learn from it?
When did abortion, creationism, family values, or anything culturally founded become political? We should be discussing things that can be for the good of all. God, unwanted pregnancy, and who is gay cant be so important that we lose sight of a 700 BILLION bailout that according to our government will save us. Hell if its to save us give us the money, either way its welfare. Abortion is a medical procedure. Until a Doctor can come out and prove that it is murder, move on. God is a faith-based belief, since He is not talking on the corner of Times Square; keep him where He asked to be, in your hearts and minds, not in your political agenda.

Ok…here it is. Success, power and money. That is what happens when the rich assemble in a room. That is what they think about. Race, religion, sexual orientation, gender, and every other useless title that you can come up with happen when poor people assemble in a room. Hell I once saw a hair texture argument; yes I said a hair texture argument!
We have nothing so we argue about nothing; we speak in hidden agendas that are so driven by our ego that we can’t get a damn thing done. I won’t listen to her, she is a white woman, I won’t listen to him, we always have to listen to a white man, that brother doesn’t know what he is talking about he only graduated High school. Why should we listen to her, she an agnostic bi-sexual, and the bitch is black!

If a person is beating the shit out of you does it matter what gender, race, religion or whatever the hell they are. You want them to go to jail!

Check our egos. We identify way the fuck too much!

The state of the world is getting very dire, not apocalyptical, but enough to say this had better stop here.
