  constitutions are like the religious texts, after many generations the meaning gets so convoluted the original purpose and meaning is lost, or more precisely, twisted to the meaning those with the ability to use it want.

  flawed study to begin with, the sample is too narrow to produce any meaningful data beyond that for the group who use TidySongs.

  Zappa for supreme world overlord. So, he, a musical type artist, was against a piracy tax. I always knew he was a genius. I did not however, know that the whole PMRC thing was a distraction from the passage of said piracy tax though. Always wondered why the cost of blank cassettes went up just as they were going out of style.
