"'Our work suggests that if children have some experience working in controlled, but imperfect, environments where they have experience encountering things that aren’t quite right, and we show them the process for figuring out what is is actually true and not, that will set them up with the expectation to be more vigilant,' Orticio said."

"Why do so many people believe the Electoral College protects 'rural' interests when it demonstrably does not? I believe what’s happening is that these people are using 'rural' as a euphemism for 'white,' and 'urban' as a euphemism for 'Black.' The Electoral College protects white interests and sensibilities from being overrun by the emerging non-white majority in this country, and the people who defend the EC are desperate to keep it that way."

Copyright is so fundamentally broken that's it's purpose now is solely *prevent* it's actual purpose from happening.

I support the idea of copyright, but perhaps not as much for corporations as individuals. A sane duration of 10 years would be reasonable.

The contract that we the people grant a creator monopoly for a time in exchange for public use after that period....when 'we' the public granting that contract will literally be dead before we see that 'benefit' is truly insane.

At least, music/movies we can get the 'source'. With video games the source code, even though copyrighted - is never available.
