- This article is SO INSANE. "Google Books And Kindles: A Concentration Camp Of Ideas": First line:"When I hear the term Kindle I think not of imaginations fired but of crematoria lit. And when I hear the term "hi-tech" I think not of helpful androids efficiently performing household chores or light-speed rockets gliding seamlessly through space but of the fact that between 1933-45, modern technology was used to perform in ever more efficient ways the mass murder of six million of my people" A quick bit of research makes it sound like this guy has some serious Holocaust obsession going on, and okay sure have your obsessions but this analogy is just insane.
- Also there's this anti-healthcare ad that just trivializes real issues of racism and pisses me off. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DC0ymLJHmsI
- Y'all have heard about SPACE TOURISM, right?? The current plan gets you a 2.5 hour flight for 6 people, 5 minutes of weightlessness, 6 people and 2 pilots per trip. 300 people have put down deposits for $200,000/person tickets.
for this poll, assume you have a enough money for this for whatever reason, but not infinite money. this is about what you think is reasonable, not what you can afford right now.
How much would you pay for the current plan?
