New After the front page story in the NY Times about adblockers...
It seem inevitable that there is going to be even more shakeouts in the ad blocker market after the NY Times finally lets the masses know about them, and after Apple finally lets them on the iPhones. Since there's so much money at stake in on-line ads, people will try to find a way around the blockers.

"Acceptable ads" policies may be a good thing, if the organization behind the standards really is sensible and independent. Web sites do need to find a way to be something other than money pits. But the Devil's in the details.

Cheers,
Scott.

New Cash-cows and Guns
seem to top any list of legislation-proof scams that flourish in countries with religions like vulture-capitalism. This one hits the fantasies of all the more-More-MORE afflicted. A huge group here.
So if we cannot alter what's in jelloware in these afflicted tribes? well.. we see what the pragmatists do later: target the mind-containers. Messy but effective.

I think it's simpler though: alter the early-inculcaton of what 'wealth' *means: and--like the polio virus--much of the later mayhem and massacre can be nipped in the cradle. We train-em-Up early or end up later: shooting-em-Down.

* a lengthy process, usually successfully inculcated only via active early-on parental demonstration: until mental health inspections verify the principle. Logic alone won't work, which really pisses off the people who like recipes for everything. (Same problem as 'proving' why early music exposure and education seems just as vital.) But if we ended stupid-wars and such, what would dull people do for excitement?
