Sure, but I don't understand how you can belittle that. Partaking in the illegal drug trade is obviously not like jaywalking.

Most of those are not crimes, but civil offenses. The possession and distribution of illegal drugs on the other hand, are criminal.

I agree with that too, but collateral consequences are not to be overlooked. If you break a bad law which, in turn, causes people to suffer, you should feel guilty.

In the unlikely case that this cool, athletic drug dealer produced the drugs in his dorm room himself, I would agree with your position, but unfortunately the drug trade doesn't start in the dorm. Do you realize how many truly good people's

Why whoops? Burger King's Whopper campaign got shut down by Facebook, but that doesn't mean it wasn't successful.

This reminds me of high school when people would safety pin dollar bills to the birthday boy/girl's shirt... but 'web 2.0'. Great idea. Probably the best marketing ploy since Burger King's Facebook Whopper campaign, and Shaq was the perfect

From what I've collected (I don't follow all this very closely), around two months ago, the Supreme Court somehow made it clear that they would not reopen internet law anytime soon, which, in effect, shut down the RIAA's main purpose: to

FYI Peter Schiff is the economic advisor behind the politician, Ron Paul. [EDIT: for the 2008 Presidential Campaign] Much of what Schiff predicts are dependent on the rest of the world 'cutting us off' by depegging their currencies from the

There is a difference between good regulation and bad regulation, and they both definitely exist. I'm all for deregulating bad regulation.

If you want to see more YC-style funding and traditional VC is at capacity, can you (big VC) not take an active role by allocating some of your excess resources into YC-style firms? That could help these firms (and ultimately big VC) add mo

I was throwing together a Techmeme for sports, and while compiling a list of sources, I ran into this same problem. As far as I know, there isn't enough sports content out there, which makes sense if you think about it.
