   This is great advice, save this link. If we don't do this, we will lose and it will be perceived as "just another thing those liberal hippy kids started that petered out"... just like Occupy Wall Street. We can do better, and this is an i

    Wow. "I say to you that the VCR is to the American film producer and the American public as the Boston strangler is to the woman home alone…" I wonder if they hire script writers to pen these dramatic speeches.
