The point is how much of what makes all of our lives even the poorest among us better is the result of technology developed by big corporations. Look up the history of Bell Laboratories for one. The computer I am typing this comment on is orders of magnitude more powerful than the Apple II I worked on at my company in the late seventies, that Apple II cost $1800 today I could buy a computer more powerful than my current one for about a fifth that price after inflation. A good deal of this kind of progress comes out of research that requires big well funded corporations to do. Of course the government also plays a role in this. A lot technology comes from government funded projects by the defense department.Marty Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06465745755940914756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9339191.post-22379982800459429532010-01-28T03:03:29.949-08:002010-01-28T03:03:29.949-08:00Judging comments heard and read on sites and newsp...Judging comments heard and read on sites and newspages, I still have not heard a satisfactory reason why -- of the comments read and heard -- why those people, who stated that in their favorite medium, are more scared of governmental control than private industry control. <br /><br />Besides, it doesn't matter anymore. A good many people have the mark of the beast upon them; if accidentally left at home, they turn around to retrieve it because they have been taught to believe they can't live without it. If lost, they buy a new one; the most expensive one, must have, must have. And many of these marks carry homing chips inside: cell phones are the mark of the beast.<br /><br />As long as private industries supply the masses with new technological trinkets, the people will gladly sit at home and watch the revolution pass them by upon their big screen TV's.<br /><br />Think you're free? Go a month without watching cable (or whatever your provider is; unless you're dished), using the internet, using your cell, using a GPS unit (only idiots have a GPS unit; I used an atlas all my life and never got lost. But then, I know how to read), or any other stocking stuffed trinket you can't live without but must pay for.<br /><br />Now.. Try to get away with not paying your bills.<br /><br />Oops. Penalties.<br /><br />Who has greater control over your day to day lives? Private or government?<br /><br />I think it's obvious who a person is slave to.<br /><br /><br />So Marty: tell us again about how great of an idea it was, since you are an avid Obama lover, for Obama to have given private industries a bail-out. Looks to me like two sides of the same coin. So how can you applaud one but not the other? Or do you own a GPS unit?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9339191.post-23081938523864725092010-01-27T01:08:21.561-08:002010-01-27T01:08:21.561-08:00The best place for freelance projects is freelanci...The best place for freelance projects is freelancing sites.

The Court declared corporations <i>legal persons</i> in the sense of a particular clause of our Constitution. It declared them neither <i>people</i> nor <i>human beings</i>. Either would be downright silly.<br /><br />Odd as it sounds, I think that us <i>people</i> and corporations are in this together. The government (by law and FEC regulation) is trying to curtail my speech rights and theirs. By defending corporate speech rights, I also defend mine (and, one faintly hopes, vice versa). If this means affirming that a corporation is a <i>legal person</i>, so be it.<br /><br />So I am gratified by this decision, not because I like corporations (who have their uses, but certainly not as <i>people</i>), but because I dislike government censorship; and because I believe that we must put government in its box and be eternally vigilant whenever it reaches its grubby fingers out to snatch at our rights... even if <i>this</i> time they're not reaching directly for mine. You know: first they came for the corporations, and I was not a corporation so I did nothing...<br /><br />The whole FEC gig is a system to rein in free speech where it actually threatens the powerful, by corralling it into complicated regulations that can only be navigated by the powerful, or those who are their clients. Large corporations were always able to speak (by forming expensive PACs and hiring bunches of lawyers to fill out lots of forms); it's small outfits that get shut out. Which is pretty much exactly how the majority opinion reasoned it.<br /><br />Now I realize that some people think that corporations are somehow evil and that makes it okay to shut them up. I happen to believe that the first amendment is about speech we <i>don't</i> like, and if we start outlawing speech whenever we think it's without merit, we have no standing when they come for <i>our</i> speech. And they will.<br /><br />Cheers<br /> -- perry (perry@cynic.org)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9339191.post-35256552454097530142010-01-25T12:31:35.118-08:002010-01-25T12:31:35.118-08:00" shows NOT a filmmaker or actor preference, ..." shows NOT a filmmaker or actor preference, but rather the audience voting with their dollars"<br /><br />I'm not sure this is the problem these days. Are there movies which ought to be successful based on filming, plot, story, acting and aren't simply because there is a black male in a love scene? I can't think of any. If the choice isn't offered then how can the audience be voting? <br /><br />Seems to me that a major, well done movie that happened to feature a black male getting laid wouldn't meet much opposition these days from the audience. I suspect that once upon a time audiences cared and the studios are just carrying on with it as a sort of tradition. Until we see the major film with a good story, an A-list black actor getting some and the success or failure of the film we can't really say it's the audience can we?<br /><br />Of course none of this proves it's NOT the audience; I just think it's hard to say that it IS.Travishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15353783271100674218noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9339191.post-12688663693987860732010-01-25T11:39:08.323-08:002010-01-25T11:39:08.323-08:00Steve: Corporations do both good and bad just like...Steve: Corporations do both good and bad just like people. First of all they make sense economically or they wouldn't exist, so to the extent a strong economy is good for the country they are good for the country. Secondly they are not always ruthless about profits and uncaring about workers. Let's look at my personal experience. My company was taken over by a bigger company and my facility was closed I didn't belong to a union so I had no leverage on my treatment. So here is what ruthless profit driven management did. They added ten years to my age and started to immediately pay the pension I would have been entitled to ten years later at age 65. They gave me ten months severance pay based upon my longevity with the company and they continued my medical coverage. Not bad. Oh and while I don't know for certain all the media corporations didn't receive money for carrying the Haiti telethon last Friday I'm pretty that free air time was their public service contribution to the tragedy.Marty Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06465745755940914756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9339191.post-61960130341319947702010-01-25T08:37:59.307-08:002010-01-25T08:37:59.307-08:00"You can't just assume our hero is gettin..."You can't just assume our hero is getting laid. You have to actually see some obvious getting laidness?"<br />##<br />Black actors are no more moral than white ones. If white guys weren't getting any onscreen, there would be no issue. What I'm saying is that the lack of black or Asian male sexuality (while black or Asian females romp) in successful films shows NOT a filmmaker or actor preference, but rather the audience voting with their dollars, the invisible hand of tribalism in the marketplace. I equate this directly with differential jail sentences, police brutality, job statistics, arrest stats, and mortality. It demonstrates (to me) quite clearly the degree to which the playing field is not level, and I like looking at those stats because they can't be legislated away. They reveal what people are really thinking, in their deep emotional fantasy worlds--and it is that black males are threatening and must be prevented from breeding. I talk about it because no one else does, and will keep talking about it until we get a few 100 million (domestic) sex scenes with black males. Then I'll believe things are evening out.Steven Barneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13630529492355131777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9339191.post-42477392960713032402010-01-25T08:32:46.187-08:002010-01-25T08:32:46.187-08:00"Right now with the economic down turn the co..."Right now with the economic down turn the corporation are being blamed for everything"<br />Marty, this is the kind of exaggeration we're trying to avoid here. I know of no one who blames corporations for "everything" and most of those who are against endless corporate power are simply warning against assumption that corporations are actually "good." Many of those DO seem to think that unions are "better" than management. Our position is that you need to be careful of both, and that each will try to demonize the other.Steven Barneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13630529492355131777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9339191.post-91570275707381231002010-01-25T08:29:40.685-08:002010-01-25T08:29:40.685-08:00"Steve, please forgive me if I seem to be obs..."Steve, please forgive me if I seem to be obscuring the point, but since the issue seems to be that Denzel doesn't get laid by a white woman"<br />NO NO NO!!! It fascinates me that this comes up so often, and my interpretation is that this is the actual fear: that if black men have sex with ANYONE, they'll eventually have it with white women. And I don't care what black women think about it, until I see those same black women complaining when Halle or another black woman has sex with a white guy...which I don't hear. So if they complain it's the same kind of bullshit I heard from black men in the 60's that it was o.k. for black men to date white women, but not for black women to date white men. I told them it was bullshit then, and I maintain it's bullshit now.Steven Barneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13630529492355131777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9339191.post-86925963204793942662010-01-25T08:24:39.094-08:002010-01-25T08:24:39.094-08:00Steve--

Charlie Kireker... from my days in Vermont. We lived in the same small town. Another VT friend called yesterday and said Charlie was seeking to raise money to keep it going. He asked if I thought they should invest. I said it wasn’t an investment, as a viable business, but a philanthropic undertaking. They never had sufficient ad revenues and that was when they had many more stations and before the national economy (advertising dollars) crashed. <br /><br />I don’t blame Charlie. I blame the guys who came before him and thought they could rent stations from ClearChannel and then control the local ClearChannel station managers from undermining Air America programming (because they didn’t have enough shows to fill a 24-7 operation). So what happened was the CC guys would put things like Nascar programs before Laura, or local college sports, and that prevented the AA stations from developing a consistent voice. That decisively undermined ad sales. It’s no different from Goldman Sachs selling derivatives to some clients and then making their own in-house bets those clients would lose money on what they just bought. <br /><br />And yes, the US SupCo said businesses like that (corporations) need to have more power to buy media and give money (ie, speech) for political campaigns..."<br /><br />Love, C.Foxessahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06754083123669916994noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9339191.post-64739922390939731742010-01-23T09:04:30.493-08:002010-01-23T09:04:30.493-08:00Oh, c__p!

After reading above comments it suddenly dawns that "not getting laid" really means just that ... it has nothing to do with miscegenation (showing my own colors, I guess); but more importantly, it also doesn't mean simply "not getting the girl." You can't just assume our hero is getting laid. You have to actually see some obvious getting laidness? I just can't take this all that seriously, but maybe this is because I'm not a man.

The Bible's the very LAST source to use for parenting advice. Steve's trying to communicate security, not ownership. Jason and all children thrive best emotionally and intellectually when love's used to foster acceptance and security. By contrast, growth is stunted when the parent-child relationship's modeled on tyranny,i.e. violence and fear used to force obedience and to coerce a twisted form of "love" that's akin to idolatry. Too often those raised through the rod brandish its brutality throughout their lives,reflexively defaulting to tyrant or victim in all relationships, having been crippled in their capacity to tenderly love, and to value others as equals. For sanity's sake, trash the ignorant, tyrannical Bible and read the previous poster's links to references that describe in lucid, revolting detail the mass destruction caused by abusive parenting.<br /><br />".not exploiting the african american sex act"<br /><br />There's not such thing as an "African American sex act". Nor is there an "European Sex act", an "Arab sex act", a "Congolese sex act". Amongst Homo Sapiens, there are only HUMAN SEX ACTS. The point is that Black male actors should be permitted to be FULLY HUMAN, which is impossible if they're forbidden to perform that core act that defines gender, embodies love and perpetuates the species.Ethiopian_Infidelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03332794812978904247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9339191.post-33553034263865580172010-01-23T05:40:22.696-08:002010-01-23T05:40:22.696-08:00Langdon: Yes corporations have a narrow view that ...Langdon: Yes corporations have a narrow view that tend to favor whats good for them, but so do groups that oppose them. If a well organized environmentalist group starts presenting junk science in order to achieve a legal objective which will cost a corporation hundreds of millions of dollars the corporation should be able to present its side of the issue. If one politician is an advocate of just about any environmental proposal good or bad and anti corporation then corporations should be able to point out the flaws in his positions. Right now with the economic down turn the corporation are being blamed for everything, but they are only half the problem. Individuals who acted just as irresponsibly the corporations are also to blame. The whole corporations are evil theme is the left wing equivalent of the right wing big government is evil. Both can do big harm and both do big good as well. Most people want a moderate approach to both. As pointed out the ruling only addresses the corporation placing advertisements in favor of a politician or issue, not direct contributions to the candidate. If a corporation faces harm from a given position, who will present their side of the issue if they are barred from advertising.

Corporate speech is dangerous in my opinion, because many times their goals are not the same as john q public's, and since in our country a medium of exchange = speech = influence. Our concerns are drowned out by larger voices ie corporations, unions' and other special interest groups. Right now we have 1000s of chemicals in our environment many that we have no idea of what its long term effects are, no idea of what synergistic effects occur in the environment, do you think Dupont would support a chemical reform bill?

However, regarding Denzel and his difficulty getting laid, I do have some comments. Steve, please forgive me if I seem to be obscuring the point, but since the issue seems to be that Denzel doesn't get laid by a white woman, I can't help wonder what black women think about this. I haven't seen Book of Eli. Are there no black women in this movie? I'm the last person to say that like should stay with like, as when I was much younger, I dated African-American men and Africans almost exclusively; I am white (just not lily) I remember when I lived in Washington DC and was engaged to a Kenyan man, I went to parties where I was the only white person. I can tell you that I wasn't too popular with the African-American ladies. Maybe this has changed, but I do wonder how these women would feel about Denzel, or the Rock, for that matter, taking up with a white woman at the end of the movie. I think I'd be pretty pissed ... I mean, Denzel!! Really!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12964199403708700309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9339191.post-47204702721546077312010-01-22T18:05:27.055-08:002010-01-22T18:05:27.055-08:00What do we mean when we say speech?

Every human being in the U.S. has the right to stand on a public sidewalk and say nearly anything (incitement to imminent violence being the primary exclusion). A corporation itself cannot engage in this form of speech (although it can certainly hire someone to do it for the corporation). That type of speech is cheap enough that we can all afford to engage in sidewalk speech. However, if Penniless wants to televise a 30 second political advertisement, he will be denied the opportunity whereas Warren Buffet would not. If Penniless can find 100 likeminded people and creates a corporation to pool their assets, why should we allow Warrent Buffet to speak on television and yet prohibit Penniless and his friends? Are we penalizing non-rich people by prohibiting them from pooling their resources? <br /><br />Allowing corporations the right to free speech also (IMO) is intellectually honest and avoids problems down the road. All of us have read op/ed stories discussing candidates in a newspaper. Do you have a problem with that? Because that is a corporation engaging in political speech. Newspapers have for the entire history of our country advocated for this or that party or candidate. Do you have a problem with that? Why should a newspaper (or other media corporation) have the right to engage in free speech but MiningCo not? Why is it less dangerous to allow the New York Times to speak than Caterpillar? <br /><br />If you believe that newspaper corporations and corporations for other media should not have the right to free speech, then all speech from all media is endangered. Let's say that FutureCongress decides that TV corporations can no longer advocate for a candidate within 30 days of an election. Candidate A and Candidate B both approach TVCo. within 30 days of an election and both are willing to pay the going rates for air time. TVCo., however, does not like Candidate B, and refuses to air any of her advertisements. Has TVCo. done anything wrong? Do we want to use the courts to determine whether TVCo. did something wrong? Are we going to compel TVCo. to publish speech it does not support? What if one of Candidate B's planks is that she will break up TVCo.? What happens if one of TVCo.'s anchors says on air that Candidate A is the better candidate? What if it was the anchor's personal opinion and clearly and truthfully identified as such? What if TVCo. only hires anchors who support Candidate A? <br /><br />Once you start denying a corporation the right to free speech, you have to make up a byzantine series of rules trying to define the scope of censorship. I'd rather not use our taxes to define and enforce the undefinable.<br /><br />Moreover, what is the goal of muzzling corporate speech? Is there some reason to believe that the speech of a corporation is more dangerous than an individual's speech? Why?Kukulkannoreply@blogger.com
