People should be free to choose what is best for themselves as long as they do not infringe on the rights of others to do the same. I created this blog to discuss issues I have with big government, liberal media,and to talk about my support for capitalism and the Iraq War.

I'm so excited to hear that Microsoft and Apple are finally racing to release a low-cost alternative to the expensive AIDS treatment drugs to be released in ravaged African nations where they cannot afford the high-priced treatments offered by US drug companies.
Oh wait. They're racing to release a new toy for rich kids.
Well, that's cool too I guess.
I agree people interested in helping Africa's AID crisis should donate thier money to competing organizations that attempt to get AIDS treatment drugs to Africa. Heck they could even use the money they saved away for that new ipod.
On a personal level I know that Darwin just recently purchased a computer. He should return it so that he can put that money towards those in Africa who desperately
need it.
No no no sophist- companies that make over 1 million dollars should have to automatically donate to AIDS organizations. Actually for every million you make in profit you have to donate to one charity. This will prevent you from becoming a big evil corportation.
And here i thought we were worried about those in Africa. I didnt know the concern was to avoid becoming an evil coporation.
I furthermore didnt know that evil coporation is defined as a coporation that nets over 1 million in profits and fail to donate all of it to charity.
Learn somethign new everyday.
Would you be considered evil since you use your profit to improve your standard of living and not helps those in Africa. I realize your not a coporation but you seem to like to use your profits for you own selfish reasons leading me to belive your evil too.
Personally I would like some external agency which is populated through a democratic vote of all US citizens to take some of my money and use it to help good causes such as this and whatever else needs adressing outside of the free market. Then I just have to decide once on the credentials of those who decide how best to use that money, rather than doing thousands of hours of research on what causes are available and most deserving and the best way to adress those causes with my limited income.
I remember all the research you did when determining which computer you were going to purchase with your profits. In fact, i rember you saying you wish the government would do all the research and just tell you which computer you should buy.
By the way their was a kid in Steve's neighborhood (which i remember someone calling poor) that was riding his bike with an IPod on. So either the kid was not poor, or the poor parents made a bad choice with what little money they had.
Also - call me when someone builds roads, distribution centers, hires security to pass out the medicine, provides everyone with watches, and teaches them how to read the watches. Then call me about giving out AIDS medicine. I will still probably not care - but we can talk then.
Ok, I'll get started right now on building roads and distribution centers, hiring security to pass out the medicine, providing everyone with watches, and teaching them how to read the watches.
Oh, shit, wait, I make $26,000 a year and have no experience with any of these things, or with forming and running large charitable organizations. I guess it's unlikely that I will solve this problem on my own.

I do not want my income touched by anyone but me.
Sounds good. Just agree not to step on my public roads and quit your job at my public school and we'll be set.
