This quote from Christopher Dodd, heard on NPR the day after the blackout, really irked me:
"It sort of reminds me of kids who can't get their way hold their breath and start screaming, instead of engaging with the debate and providing information, encouraging a discussion on how this can be improved. It just seems petulant to me."
I wonder what he thinks of strikes, boycotts and public demonstrations, I guess they are all childish too.
- sp332 15y agoActually a lot of people in the USA think strikes, boycotts and demonstrations are stupid. They look at the huge number of strikes in e.g. France and don't understand how the French get anything done. And then they whine that the government doesn't listen to them.
- lukeschlather 15y agoDon't mind him. When we initially tried to engage with the debate, his side figuratively stuck their fingers in their ears and said "na-na-na I can't hear you!" He's not interested in having a debate, he just wants to treat us like children (and have the government spy on our every move to make sure we're not doing anything the MPAA disapproves of.)
