I happened upon this little video that I thought was pretty catchy.  The message is simple:  Sharing shouldn’t be illegal.

I’ve spent the past week researching my options for TV without a subscription.  Since I cancelled my Dish Network subscription, I’ve looked into FTA (Free To Air) satellite systems, and streaming video on the web.  My plan is to build a multimedia system with a digital projector, in which I can watch TV shows and play DVD’s on a large High Definition screen, with surround sound.

Today I received an email from Joost for their beta program.  I think I have found my first choice for streaming video.  This program is absolutely perfect!

 Joost provides a simple 1-click installation, and prompts you to create an account.  After installation, the program reequires no setup.  Your streaming video is ready to watch, fullscreen, right out of the box.  There are hundreds of high quality shows available at your fingertips, and you can watch them anytime you want. 

This is the wave of the future.  With streaming broadcasts from networks like CBS, NBC, and ABC, satellite and cable television will be obsolete.  If you’d like to eliminate your monthly subscription to cable or satellite, I recommend taking a look at Joost.

In response to this story at MSNBC:  N.Y. shock jocks dropped over Asian slurs

What the Hell is this country coming to?  

Media conglomerates air shows like Mind of Mencia and Chappelle’s Show daily, with racial slurs and epithets throughout the entire program.  What makes these TV shows any different from radio shows? 

It’s a simple answer really.  The civil rights activists who claim to be working for the equality of people won’t target these shows because they’re hosted by “minorities”.  It’s ok to make a racial slur if you’re not white.

So why aren’t there any respectable “white activists”?  It’s not considered respectable to fight for white rights.  If you fight for white equality, you’re a white supremacist - no better than the Nazis.

This is the beginning of a Communist US.  A country where we don’t have freedom of speech or freedom of the press, and we don’t have the right to bear arms.  If we form a militia, we are labeled as terrorists.  We don’t get a speedy or public trial because we’re enemy combatants.  Oh, and who came up with the idea of multi-million dollar bail?  Does the 8th Amendment not state “Excessive bail shall not be required”?

You be the judge.  Read your Bill of Rights, and determine how many of your rights have been infringed upon.
