NOTE: this is definitely a rant... all of this has just been really getting under my skin lately...

Let's see, we stop manufacturing "things" , let education standards go right down the drain, outsource all our jobs overeas and now we're left with one bunch of rich, white guys getting so greedy that they sell junk mortgages and need to get bailed out by the Chinese and another bunch fighting over revenues from crappy music. Then, there's the other bunch who won't share (Wikipedia link, apologies) the ludicrous amount of money they make off of cruddy television & movie content with those who write it, partly because of how afraid they are of the new media distribution methods. They fein ignorance of the new the web and digital distribution mechanisms but the reality is that they know how terrible the content is and that consumers will finally realize it as well and only pay the small amount it's truly worth.

All this greed is just killing us and the majority of folks are just too busy trying to survive each day to notice, care or do anything about it.
