Ranting and Raving
What no comments? Nobody loves me!!!!
Great day today. Cowboys blew out the Titans. Went to the folks got some work done for my Grandma.
Got a lot of good reading done today. I have read a lot on the subject of RIAA vs the P2Ps. Limewire is fighting back. Good for them! Those rich bastards need to realize that can't just run over people. People don't steal because it's fun. People steal because they are poor or they have a disease. That's it. No other reasons. CD prices are not on a supply and demand chart. They are set by the music industry and there really is nothing to compete with them. MP3s are a dollar a track and $15 for an album. That is essentially the same thing you pay at Target. That is not competitive pricing. You have to offer another outlet to people. Give the CDs away and triple your ticket prices if you are worried about your bottom line.
Also saw an article about corporal punishment still being used in Southern states. Are we living in the frickin' dark ages. And these aren't kindegarteners were are talking about. These were middle school/junior highs. They have to get parent consent. A couple of schools actually gave the kids the choice. They could take a week suspension or 20 lashes. That's crap. Completely insane. What comes after that if behavior doesn't work? Cattle prods?
I am trying to do more reading on journalism and keep abreast of current events. I may not know what I want to write about after I graduate, but I am at least sure of my desire to write. This blog helps. This is so much better than some stupid girly diary or journal they always wanted you to do in school.
I guess I am actually going to get some sleep know.
