"If I label myself a rock, does that make it so? The Tea Party is a loose confederation and doesn't have an equivalent of the heavy handed corporate entities known as the DNC or RNC. As such, anyone can claim pretty much whatever they like without recourse. Beck and Palin represent the Tea Party as much as I represent you. Unplugged and decentralized-- Jesus II"

"Uh, what? Ever read a Dicken's novel? And prior to 1833, in the US, if one did not pay their debts, one could find themselves in debtors' prison. As for corporatism, while it's certainly a challenge today, let's be clear: the US was founded by government-granted monopolies. Banking corruption? Of course--when has it *EVER* been different? Usury is not a new concept and Andrew Jackson certainly had more than few words and much greater action. And while the current economic system is inarguably a flawed work-in-progress, previous theory of zero-sum world trade meant the only way to grow was by taking from another. I guess if one truly enjoys imperialism and war-- which is pretty tough on proletariat--history is idyllic. In terms of Maslow's hierarchy of needs, the poorest of the poor in today's America are Kings relative to human history. Aren't we facing an obesity crisis? Now I'm going back to my comic book. How about you hop on over to The Pirate Bay and download a few courses on..."

"Yeah, I miss the good ol' days of mercantilism too. :/ Slaves? Get a grip. The present day system (not just the US) is far from perfect but it's not even comparable to the past."

"As long as Rand remains cool and stays away from hyperbole, I think he'll be fine. Most of the coverage has kept his comments in context; it's obvious he's not advocating racism or segregation. Wedge issues are complex; that's the point. I'd love to see Rand drag this out as long as possible. To actually have a politician walk into the fire instead of hiding in a mansion and refusing to talk to the press in a caustic corporate media environment is refreshing... it almost feels American. One thing is for certain, President Obama has contributed little positive to the conversation of race since he took office besides having Gibbs reiterate political correctness and de facto support for closet racism. Regardless, as a fellow mulatto, and with all seriousness, I'd LOVE to see all racists market themselves... I'd rather be stabbed in the chest than in the back."

""Your suggestion that Apple and iTunes have saved the music business would be news to anyone in that dying industry stuck now with Apple’s pricing." Since when is the music business a dying industry? Are you speaking of retail sales only? While there has certainly been a decline in the sales of plastic discs that has not been offset by single track purchases, monthly subscription, etc. -- the industry as a whole has grown as consumers have been willing to spend more on live performance and merchandise. The business-to-business channel has grown as well. That said, I agree, Apple is as much a savior for the New York Times as they are for at&t. In the case of at&t, Apple owns growth related to the iPhone. When Apple finds a carrier willing to offer a better deal (e.g., growth, revenue), they'll take 'their' customers with them. David Carr's problem remains the same: competition from specialists that are increasingly becoming journalists as they blog and participate in communities..."

What's really different about having a job and being a freelancer? It is the core relationship. In most organizations the core relationship is at best utilitarian. People use each other. In the best of Freelancing, it is Love - people look after each other - all of each other the work and the person.
