Supporting Kerry Anyway...

Supporting Kerry Anyway... 12/19/2004 03:31 PM
I'm aloft somewhere between Rome and Cincinnati, jetting back towards my crazed, stupefied, dangerous country after three days in Berlin. I dread coming home. You know things have taken a paradoxical turn when Germany feels safe, sane, and free by comparison with the United States of America. But that's how it looks to me. That's how it looks to the Germans too. The idea that we might actually re-elect George Bush is unfathomable - indeed, inexcusable - to them. As one of them put it to me, "We can forgive you for electing him once. As we ought to know, any electorate can make a tragic mistake. But if you elect him twice, we will start fearing you Americans as much as we currently fear your government." I suspect this is a sentiment one could encounter almost anywhere on God's blue earth. If the election were global as, in fairness, it probably ought to be, it would be a pulverizing landslide. I had a hard time explaining to the Germans why it's starting to look like we might just re-elect Bush anyway. For one thing, they have not, after all, seen as much of John Kerry as we have. And let's face it, folks, John Kerry is really irritating. There. I've said it. And, having broken the surface tension on that spleen blister, let me just get the rest of this off my chest once and for all. For me, John Kerry's voice has already started to acquire that special fingernails-on-the-blackboard effect that Bush's induces in me. The thought of listening to him daily for the next four years makes me feel better about the possible onset of rock 'n' roll deafness. His morose Eyeore visage has become a vista almost as tiresome as Bush's simian smirk. His patrician demeanor reminds one why George Bush has gone to such pains to disguise himself as an illiterate West Texas hick rather than the Yalie he also is. Worse, Kerry's transparently theatrical efforts to out-macho the Republicans make him seem, as a friend recently put it, all dick and no balls. Bush's problem, to hear Kerry tell it, is that he's *not tough enough,* despite his being demonstrably willing to bomb civilians in a country that neither attacked us nor expressed any desire to do so. That's pretty gosh-darned tough, if you ask me. Kerry's failure to capitalize on the failures of the worst administration in my lifetime is unfathomable. The systematic ineptitude of his campaign organization so far fills me with grave concerns about his ability to form an administration that wouldn't make us nostalgic for Gerald Ford's. Generally speaking, it would have been better for the future of the Republic if, upon eliminating Howard Dean, Kerry had been stashed in a location as undisclosed as the one where they usually keep Dick Cheney. Then he could have let Bush defeat himself through policies and actions that no sane electorate could have ratified. But no. He insisted on campaigning, apparently under the misapprehension that to know him - or at least to know that virtual version of him his marketing wizards had wrapped around him - was to love him. This, unfortunately, has not been the general effect. Gradually, I have watched the steam go out of the Anybody-But-Bush crowd as we realized that anybody, in this instance, was the increasingly irksome John Kerry. People who, several months ago, were ready to go door-to-door in Ohio in order to defeat Bush are unwilling to even campaign among their friends to elect John Kerry. And I have become, I must admit, one of these. Being an actual Kerry *supporter* just seems, well, un-cool. For the last month or so, the election seemed reminiscent to me of ads for the film "Alien vs. Predator, " the tag line of which goes, "Whoever wins, we lose." (Further, it has seemed right to me that one of these characters is an alien and the other a predator.) The first debate, which I watched over the Internet in Berlin, did nothing to alter my feelings about the candidates. Though many American pundits seemed to think that Kerry "won" that Battle of the Teledroids, it looked like they both lost to me, with their stammering repetitions and hollow phrases. Lincoln vs. Douglas it was not. Is it any wonder that so many people are playing political possum again? As ordinary folks go back to pretending to be asleep, the true believers, more fervent than ever, prepare to re-elect George Bush. But is Kerry really as personally lame as he appears? Well, in fact, no. I had dinner with Kerry at one point last year, and, while I found his views that evening to be a bit too tightly congruent with those of the real money at the table, I found the actual John Kerry to be a great deal more likeable than his manufactured simulacrum. I remember thinking he might be an entertaining guy to spend a day skiing with. But even if Kerry himself were as off-putting as the guy I see on TV, should we allow his personality deficiencies or cultural idiosyncrasies to dissuade us from supporting him? I would say not, especially when we consider what's at stake here. Right here, right now, somewhere over the Atlantic, I'm having a moment of clarity. I realize the obvious. I realize that, along with a lot of other people, I have fallen prey to the peculiar American frailty which has given us so many bad presidents. I refer to our national tendency to treat presidential elections as though we were all high-schoolers choosing a Prom King. Thus, when it comes to qualifying for the American Presidency, a grating accent can be a bigger political liability than a record of homicidally misguided policies. Being inconsistent is a greater personal failing than being consistently, doggedly, disastrously wrong. Being dorky is more damning than being dictatorial. We all need to get a grip and quickly. Whatever it has...

Supporting the US troops abroad 12/28/2004 11:26 AM
Over the Christmas holiday I discovered anysoldier.com and was surprised I hadn't stumbled across it sooner. Sergeant Brian Horn from LaPlata, Maryland, an Army Infantry Soldier with the 173rd Airborne Brigade was in the Kirkuk area of Iraq when he started the idea of AnySoldier to help care for his soldiers. He agreed to distribute packages that came to him with "Attn: Any Soldier" in his address to the soldiers who were not getting mail. Brian is no longer in Iraq but Any Soldier Inc. continues with your support.Any Soldier Inc. started in August 2003 as a simple family effort to help the soldiers in one Army unit, thus our name. However, due to overwhelming requests, on 1 January 2004 our effort was expanded to include any member, of any of the Armed Services, in harms way.We now have 981 Contacts (872 Army, 8 Navy, 42 Air Force, and 59 Marine) helping approx 43,570 soldiers! There's a list of contacts, including recent emails, and a list of suggested items to send. You can even purchase care packages that have already been assembled with soldiers' needs in mind. I spent a long time just reading the emails from soldiers, it gives you a better sense of what it's like over there than reading most news articles. So if you received some money for Christmas and you're not sure how to spend it, consider getting something for Any Soldier and making a soldier's day.

EFF Supporting Pop Up Company,
Understanding Trademark Law 02/19/2004 07:35 PM
As annoying and sneaky as companies like Gator and WhenU are in getting their ad-pop-up technology onto users' computers, that doesn't mean the actual process of popping up ads for competitors when you visit a specific website should be illegal. Most judges realize this, and WhenU had won a series of judgments from companies protesting the actions of these companies. However, in December, they lost a case as a judge said that it was a trademark violation to have WhenU pop up ads for other contact lens providers if a user visited 1-800-Contacts' website. If you assume that the end user purposely decided to put the software on their computer, then what's possibly illegal about what then happens on their computer. If they want to see competing companies for websites they visit, that should be allowed. While they may take some criticism for supporting a pop-up provider, the EFF is absolutely right in filing an amicus brief in support of WhenU. Now, what someone needs to do is take these companies to court for installing their apps without getting real permission from users. The EFF makes the argument that someone walking down to a store to buy some contact lenses has the right to look at other contact lenses in a different store. I'd take the argument even further and say that (just like the case for letting search companies sell trademarked keywords) it's no different than a company getting placement on the shelves near a competing product in the supermarket. If you make Bob's Cola, then you want to make sure you're on the same shelf as Coca-Cola, because that's where people will look for you. That's not a trademark violation. No one is going to confuse Bob's Cola for Coca-Cola. It just makes sure that you're advertising in places where you know your target audience is looking. Unfortunately, companies like Playboy continue to insist this isn't true and are still suing search engines for selling ads on their trademarked keywords. How come they're not suing magazine and bookshops for putting competing magazines on the stand next to their own magazines?

Microsoft supporting Blue Laser? What
about Blu-Ray? 08/01/2004 12:39 AM
There’s something disingenuous about the announcement this week from Microsoft Japan that it will make Longhorn, the company’s next major operating system release, compatible with the High Definition blue laser DVD from NEC and Toshiba, which is also backed by the DVD Forum. Since when was Longhorn written in Japan? And since when did an operating system company decide on support for a peripheral which will need its own dedicated drivers and which can be made almost plug compatible with the current DVD drives, as far as the operating system is concerned.

In our view it was a major non-announcement. The competing Blu-Ray specification is already streets ahead of the NEC Toshiba standard, and it has already established support from Hewlett-Packard and Dell, which is far more significant than Microsoft, since they are the customers here and they will actually buy the drives. Microsoft is hardly likely to turn around to its two biggest customers and tell them, no the operating system won’t recognize their DVD devices.

Why I'm supporting Dean - The short
answer 01/04/2004 10:50 AM
Dave Rogers asks, in a comment to my posting about canvassing for Dean, why I'm supporting the Gov. Here's my reply: If you matched my positions up with the candidates' (see the WBUR vote by issue quiz), it'd come out pretty much a wash among all of them except Lieberman. So, although overall I prefer Dean's stances, I'm not voting primarily on the issues. There are two other reasons I'm supporting Dean. First, I think he has the best chance to beat Bush. There are clearly reasonable arguments about this and I have never made an accurate political prediction. But...

Mark Cuban Explains Why Grokster Is
Worth Supporting Any Way Possible 03/28/2005 03:37 AM
While most of the coverage of Mark Cuban's latest announcement focuses on the fact that he recently agreed to fund the EFF's legal defense of Grokster at the Supreme Court, reading his full statement on the matter is much more interesting. It's not about the fact that he's helping out, but goes into the details of what's at stake -- and why everyone should support the Grokster case, however they can. What he's saying (in somewhat different words) is that, if the entertainment industry wins, they'll have succeeded in turning the internet in the US into television: a medium where they are the sole gatekeepers of the content and what can be done with it. That ignores the fact that the internet is about commu nications, not broadcast content -- where anyone can create the content they want and deliver it however they want. Mark Cuban is creating a ton of content and he wants that "content to get to the customer in the way the customer wants to receive it, when they want to receive it, at a price that is of value to them." He can do that now. He can't if the entertainment industry wins the Grokster case, because they'll cut off many of the channels by which content now reaches people.

Dutch Parliament Tells Minister To Stop
Supporting Software Patents

Dutch Parliament Tells Minister To Stop
Supporting Software Patents 07/06/2004 12:15 PM
Back in May we had the story of how the EU Council Ministers, despite tons of protest, had brokere d a backroom deal to approve an incredible backwards looking proposal on accepting software patents. Apparently, the Dutch Minister went back to his own Parliament and described the new proposal as a "compromise" rather than a one-sided ruling that ignored almost all of the complaints about problems with the proposal. Found on Dave Farber's Interesting People list comes the news that the Dutch Minister has now admitted his explanation of the proposal was a mistake, which he somehow blames on an "an error in the word processor." If someone believes that an error in a word processor can lead to him saying something that is completely untrue about a proposed law that would seriously impact the country's ability to innovate, you have to wonder why this guy has any power to vote on such laws at all. Thankfully, the Dutch Parliament seems to agree, and have told him to change his vote and no longer support the proposal. So far, this story doesn't seem to be getting much attention other than this one mention, however, so I'm wondering if there are others who can confirm this is what actually happened. I've found one version at DMEurope that seems to pretty much repeat the original press release, but nothing else.
