There is legislation out right now to raise the royalties paid by internet radio sites. This makes them higher than other forms of broadcast. Visit this site to help save internet radio. If this passes sites like pandora and lastfm will not be able to exist anymore.
Save internet radio!!!

im taking a few classes on sociology, and have decided to minor it it, maybe a major but probably a minor. But in taking these classes i have realized that i would rather be ignorant to the things going on in the world rather than learning about the despicable things that are going on in the world and how insignifigant i am and how nothing i could ever do would ever change them. Today in class we watched a film on economic globalization in the form of capitolism. It made me sick the things that corporations do and what they get away with. Corperations were started with a good ideal, and almost all of them followed the basic guide lines. But with the civil war and the amendments to our constition following it certain rights that were intened to benefit the population and mainly black people was taken advantage of and the modern day corperation was formed.
I just feel really bad about what human beings do to each other and the fact that i am a member of this race. I would almost rather be ignorant.

the greatest human being in history is Norman Borlaug. You probably have never heard of him. He is an agricultural scientist that has traveled around the world to help fight hunger. He goes into a country and analyzes their farming methods and develops more efficient ways to produce food. A lot of his methods involve genetically modified foods. These are good things not bad things.
When he won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1970 it was estimated that he had saved over a billion lives, most of which were not his own race or even from his own country.
Norman just turned 92 and is still working to help end world hunger. It will never happen but he is defiantly the greatest human being on this planet. Him and Alexander Flemming who developed penicillin.

I was listening to Penn Jillettes radio show via podcast and on this particular episode they were talking about cloning pigs. Particularly cloning pigs with specific genes that they produced Omega 3 Fatty acids. This type of fat actually improve heart condition and can help reduce the risk of heart disease. This means that eating bacon could actually be good for you. That sounds really weird but really good.
In a country where a large problem in our poor population is obesity, that is just fucked up that the poor are fat, that they could eat bacon and actually make it good for you. I dont eat pork but i think that it would be really cool.
