"HBO co-president Eric Kessler has said he thinks the move away from traditional television to an internet-based model is just a fad that will pass" by zoinkin technology

Oh god who gives a shit. The show is brilliant and everyone has already made enough money in spades. Just let the viewer continue to watch the show on the model that makes them happy without some ridiculous fee. Enlightenment is so rare these days. Don't ruin it now.

Why Can't Obama Bring Wall Street to Justice?: Despite his populist posturing, the president has failed to pin a single top finance exec on criminal charges since the economic collapse. Are the banks too big to jail—or is Washington’s revolving door at to blame? by violetplanetin politics

We all didn't. They did. And the minute WE realize WE have no say in the matter and act upon this knowledge is the minute things can begin to really change. How WE do it....is another matter.... there are many ways to thwart a system but there are few ways to win.

Too big to even curtail ....isn't it ? You can't regulate a system that you have no control over and never did or will. It amazes me that the part of the intelligent general public hasn't figured this out yet.... they believe in the HOPE...message....such a futile mindset but it works for them because it is attached to THEIR emotions for a better life, not reality. The reality of the situation is our corrupt system is not fixable until it crashes to the ground and we start over. I was so surprised that so many intelligent people bought the Obama dream. I guess the facts...of political/ industrial / corporate history were masked by emotion. Logic was trumped by emotion... I gave up fairy tales when I was a kid. How hard is it to accept the facts ? It is mind boggling to me.
