I've been searching the net for two hours searching for it and would have given my right arm if I would have found your website sooner. Not only did I locate what I was looking for, but also found answers to questions I never thought to ask. Thank you for your wonderful web-site!

Clearly who ever runs your ads has a region/keyword detector and/or a sense of humor.

I hope for a better future like you portrayed aswell, but I think its nearly impossible to get it. The main reason for that is that people are just too different in thought patterns. What would be a perfect society for one person might be hell for another. Because of the inability to find a solution I have stopped caring about changing the world myself. I just want to find happiness in my own life and I dont get that by trying to change the world. It just makes me sad. So now Im trying accept the world as it is to achieve this happiness. So you actually might say im trying to become apathetic to the worlds problems, because I stopped caring about anything else than my immediate surroundings. So this is one reason why other people might be apathetic aswell :) Well, Ive taken the time to trudge trough all the opnions written here (except that insanely long and erratic one) and find it quite interesting.

But, we all know why media corporates prefer to keep it this way, this "mega-conglomerates are threatening media and political democracy" topic has been discussed to death and the only naive solution that people can come up with is to diversify ownership. We could only hope that the future generation would appreciate technology better and break free from the grip of the old media, but whenever I look around myself, most of my peers are clueless and apathetic about their surrounding (while displaying extraordinary knowledge about every Project Superstar contestant and showing some interest in the Malaysian election circus). Can we still proclaim, and honestly hope that the future generation would be more empathic? No, we can't. Obama himself had identified corporates as one of the problem source in that speech, but unfortunately he wouldn't be able to come up with some sort of wonder policy to deal with them unless he's shafting capitalism in favor of a more rigid, government controlled economic system, which is then again fundamentally flawed. He was among the first to speak out when FCC planned to loosen regulations on TV and newspapers ownership, and I applaud him for that. But can he stop Rupert Murdoch from gobbling up more newspapers and further consolidating media ownership? Should he prevent corporates from outsourcing so that there'll be enough jobs to keep every American happy? I'm a Obama supporter, but it doesn't change the fact that some of his grander visions are like...seeing a half filled cup of water as a half filled cup of thawed Alps snow graced by Mikuru's hands in a glass used by Scarlett Johansson.

This entry represents my genuine feelings. That said, if Obama's campaign wants to buy a paid affiliates link, I have no qualms about it, though that is of course highly unlikely to happen.
