I remember watching an interview with Harvey Diamond.  He was speaking on behalf of animal rights.  Harvey argued,

“Put a baby in a crib with an apple and a rabbit. If it eats the rabbit and plays with the apple, I’ll buy you a new car.”

But I always found that argument to be unfair.  I mean, the apple is ready to go, but I’d probably want to slice the rabbit to apart with a machete and then skin, smoke, and salt it (and then drape the intestines over myself as some sort of coat to keep warm).  I figure then I’d have a delicious smoked rabbit as well as an apple.

I hate black and white thinkers like that.  People that don’t consider the alternatives for each one of the problems we face every day and the willingness to adapt, try new things, and eventually (if we don’t shelter ourselves enough) evolve.  The reason I bring this up is because of this:  Fuck the RIAA.
