the ACA pushed child-care policy first, almost immediately. by this i mean pre existing conditions are covered, co pays have been pushed back, and a host of other policy items. this has been linked to the collapse of child-only medical plans in 17 states and the withdraw of major child-only plan providers in 17 other states. there are also a host of other issues nobody in the mainsteam is currently talking about. of course, the majority of ACA is due to hit in 2013-14, safely after obama's reelection bid is over, so this is only the beginning

Watching that video, it's interesting to see how the capitalism of today is making the same mistakes as the communism of yesteryear. The problem Reagan talks about, of over-centralising. The mistake we make is in reductionism, and labelling, and over-generalisation, and identifying oneself with 'left' or 'right' or 'middle' as though complicated political and economic processes are one-dimensional. People attach their ego to particular systems and parties and forget the more basic values that inspired those systems. It's a real shame, because if people looked closer at their political beliefs they'd see that seemingly different ideas actually have a lot in common.

it's been going on for the last century. the whole "new deal" was FDR trying to enact socialist policy in the US before socialism became a dirty word here, a "new consitution" of rights that would have to be provided for you rather than the existing constitution of negative rights that prevents things from being done to you. reagan's presidency was a brief reprieve when the government froze its overall growth

i think milton friedman said it best back in the 80's. the soviets were trying to achieve what the US had done in the 50's while the US was trying to achieve what the soviets had done in the 70's. :/

Netherwing Drakes are still the best by far imo, with second being the frostbrood.

I remember when I played WoW people would run the same dungeon for weeks in hopes of an epic mount dropping, of course also getting actual weapon upgrades and such. Now it seems you get to max level in a week, then just farm for vanity pets and mounts, so that every motherfucker in Azeroth is flying around on the back of fucking Sargeras. Makes me weep for that kid who loved the Warcraft world.

[Maruset]

Pretty much. I had all 80s from Wrath, missed a year of Cata because it was boring when it first came out, and got back into it a month and change ago and have all 10 85s in 378s and an 83 Horde Pally to see how the other half lives(Scroll of resurrection'd to 80 to start).

Now...save up gold, farm mounts/pets, gather transmog sets. As such, I've mostly shifted back to playing Skyrim. Gotta be ready to be an improbably flying Vampire Lord after all.

[Jonathan Meer]

So uh. I called in sick today. ANd I'm not really sick, just tired (so I wouldn't get much done if I did go in).

And I'm tired mostly because I played a lot of LoL last night.

I can't tell if I should feel guilty or not.

[Vad]

There is no guilt. Only Zuul.

[Dehan]

Youtube, fucking hate it. Keeps deleting the amvs I find and add to my favorites. Son of a bitching ass bitch.

Also hate headaches and lying ass exgirlfriends.

Like being the bigger person and letting her tell people 10% of the truth when they know she's full of shit.
