Damn you Japanese politicians!
05/08/2004 07:53 AMI rarely say "fuck" on my blog, but "Fuck you Japanese
politicians!" (Lucky the FCC doesn't control my blog... yet.) I've
paid about 1/2 of all of my life earnings in tax to the Japanese
government and have paid my premiums to the national pension system
even though studies that I worked on at the Association of Corporate
Executives showed that I would most likely not benefit from these
pensions. Now it turns out many Japanese politicians don't pay their
national pension premiums. Actually, a third of the cabinet members
haven't paid their pension premiums. The "Vice President" of Japan,
Yasuo Fukuda just resigned for not paying his premiums. This is all
amid a move by the government to increase premiums and lower pay-outs.
The study we did showed that unless you were about retirement age
today, would would most likely receive "0" from the pension
system.
What's worse is that they use strong arm tactics like using the
agricultural union (which hires retired bureaucrats and takes a
commission) and other semi-public organizations to collect premiums
from average citizens.
This is totally disgusting and I really wonder why I live and pay
taxes in such a corrupt country.
Sorry I don't have links and references. This is a spur of the
moment emotional post based on newspapers and radio that I skimmed
today while I was trying to relax.

08/05/2004 03:50 AMWhat is it with the difficulty politicians seem to have understanding
what a P2P file sharing network is, and why none of the networks have
control over the content being shared? The latest is that a group of
40 states have teamed up to
write a threatening
letter to file sharing companies accusing them of all sorts of bad
things. In whose name are they doing this? Even though the courts
have recognized file sharing networks for what they are, it appears
that the state attorneys general seem to believe that they can ignore
what the law says when the entertainment industry starts telling them
how evil file sharing networks are.
Update: Ernest Miller asks,
"why
shouldn't the state attorneys general condemn email and FTP as
well? An awful lot of child porn is shared via email. Shouldn't
email providers be doing more to stop it?"

new they can spend their money on -- the presidential candidates of
their choice. The new feature, which allows visitors to make
contributions of up to $200 to their favorite candidate, is an effort
"to take the friction out of grassroots contributions to presidential
candidates," according to the Amazon Web
site. For that reason
it is not endorsing any candidates and is charging each campaign its
usual processing fees, which will be donated to a nonprofit,
non-partisan group. "For us, we think this is an interesting but
natural extension of what we do every day. Our goal here was to make
it as easy for people to make contributions to presidential campaigns
as it is to buy the latest Harry Potter book," says an Amazon

Support our troops, question our
politicians
Support our troops, question our
politicians
03/19/2003 10:25 PMI have read various calls today for people to support our troops by
stopping demonstrating, stopping questioning our (supposed) leaders,
and stopping being against the war. What
ridiculous nonsense.
While I agree that it would be
despicable to repeat the folly
of
some Vietnam era protesters who took out their anger about
the United States government's Vietnam folly on the soldiers who
fought it, the best way to support our troops is to question our
leaders.
Our troops are the sons and daughters of America, and it is our
government that is wagering their lives. Our Congress effectively
abdicated its constitutional responsibilities last fall. It would be
unpatriotic of us
not to question what the administration is
doing with our children's lives, and not to protest if we think that
our children's lives are being misspent. Backing us up is the
authority of Dubya's favorite president, who said:
To announce that there must be no criticism of the
president, or that we are to stand by the president right or wrong, is
not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the
American public.
Theodore
Roosevelt
Or there is that other famous dissident, Abraham Lincoln, who
protested that the Mexican-American war was an
unnecessary and unconstitutional war of conquest, designed to add more
slave states to the union. He was right, of course. It was a direct
precursor to our Civil War.
The United States has a long and glorious history of dissent to war.
Let's support our troops and our country by ensuring that it
continues.

Politicians Try To Protect Kids From
Underage Marketing
04/08/2005 06:26 PMPoliticians never seem to tire of
overr
eaching into internet-related legislation. If anything, it seems
to be picking up. Today's example involves lawmakers in Massachusetts
who have taken up the cause of underage … word-of-mouth and viral
marketing. Yes, that's right. A proposed bill in that state would
prohibit kids under 16 from participating in "online buzz" marketing
campaigns without parental consent. Finally, someone is taking on
that great scourge, ad consumption by minors! Not to mention that it's
so broadly written, you could arrest an entire middle school for text
messaging each other about American Idol. With any luck, this meddling
and unenforceable drivel will die before reaching a vote. Adding to
the story's absurdity, leaders of the Word of Mouth Marketing
Association (WOMMA) and Viral + Buzz Marketing Association (VBMA) are
weighing in on the issue. It appears there are
two
organizations dedicated to such activity and looking after the
interests of impressionable children. One of them has its own
confe
rence, but perhaps they didn't get the word out enough. Sadly, a
misguided law such as this would only obscure a legitimate debate
about the many more subtle ways companies are influencing children --
and the ways their parents are letting it happen -- through a host of
media and otherwise.

they've done nothing wrong. Does that mean they're supporters of
"fair use"? Chances are they've never actually thought about the
issue, and this is yet another case of politicians who would push for
more stringent intellectual property laws, while making sure to ignore
them themselves when convenient.
