It would be nice if there was some incentive to share a little of that income with the company's employees rather than only with the owners and directors.

"There is genuine suffering in the world that it is important to do something about" You're right. But as the Buddhists say "Start where you are." How are you going to address all the suffering in the world if you can't address the sufferin

I find the stretched rectangle proportions awkward to hold in portrait mode which is how I usually want to use my Asus Transformer. But then I'm more of a reader than a movie/game person.

Finding and consuming exactly the right mushroom or cactus is actually not a problem in traditional societies. They're pretty good at the gathering part of 'hunting and gathering'. The big difference with modern society is that psychoactive

Um. Seriously? A unique individual with one of the most brilliant, funny, audacious and original voices on the Internet and you'd like to see him sued out of existence? Because uh ... the Internet's not big enough or what? Wow. Just wow.
