  • The air war over hand baggage reaches the EU

    Jump

  • You can form groups without paying people. This ensures people actually care about the cause rather than just doing it for the money.

    Banning lobbying isn't banning organizing. It's banning rich people being able to put their giant thumbs on the levers of democracy.

  • I think that if it was impossible to get paid for it, they could just petition the government themselves and get a lot better results. Lobbying will always tilt the field in the direction of people with more money over those with less.

  • I believe the ACLU mostly fields lawsuits against those doing the oppression. But my feeling is that lobbying is on balance such a negative force fielded 95% by the ultra wealthy to further their agenda, that I'd be okay with losing the other 5% that had a positive impact. Those causes could easily be taken up by individuals and unfunded groups and have a much better chance of getting heard.

  • (Technology Connections) Closed captions on DVDs are getting left behind [33:46]

  • Well they didn't use his list..

    The magazine intended the use of the term "millennium" to be hyperbole that emphasized the end of the 2nd millennium or songs within the collective memory of their readership at that time, probably expecting nothing earlier than the British Invasion at best. In an act of malicious compliance, Thompson followed these instructions exactly as they were worded, and produced a list which did span 1000 years of music, including the oldest-known English-language songs, a medieval Italian dance tune, and various other folk songs, alongside slightly more contemporary fare.[2] The list was never published by Playboy;
