The video game industry is just that.
An industry.
Which means that it exists in a capitalistic world. You know, a free market. A place where you’re welcome to spend your money on whatever you please… or to refrain from spending that money.
Those companies that put these products out?…
“It’s a boson!” And likely the one the one they’ve been looking for. We live in exciting scientific times, and the data has shown up far sooner than they predicted it would. The LHC was a good idea.
HOLY COW. Check out “It Is All Illusion,” a painting from Aaron Jasinski, for Friday night’s “There’s Always Money In The Banana Stand!” which opens this Friday, June 29th, and runs through July 21st.

“Hindsight is always 20-20, but last time I checked almost every president since Teddy Roosevelt tried to do something on health care and wasn’t able to do it.

“Republicans did a great job of misinforming … and scaring the American people. So did the insurance companies, and the fact is when you explain provisions of the bill, the American people support it. …I’m embarrassed for Congress that they didn’t pass health care reform long before we did. Far too many people in Congress think that they are there to get reelected and that’s unfortunate. We’re there to work for the American people, and that’s what we did. We passed a measure that allows millions of Americans to be insured. It allows people with pre-existing [conditions] to get covered.” — Former Ohio Rep. Steve Driehaus
“You have to vote with your conscience and do what’s right. In my district, I had 350,000 who had no health insurance.

It was the right thing to do, and if I had to do it again, I would do it again. It was now or never.” — Former Texas Rep. Solomon Ortiz

People talk about hip-hop like it’s some giant living in the hillside, coming down to visit the townspeople.
We ARE hip-hop. — Mos Def
