(in 2007) The Internet has stopped people from going out and being with each other, creating stuff. Instead, they sit at home and make their own records, which is sometimes OK but it doesn`t bode well for long-term artistic vision. It`s just a means to an end. We`re talking about things that are going to change the world and change the way people listen to music and that`s not going to happen with people blogging on the Internet. I mean, get out there - communicate. Hopefully the next movement in music will tear down the Internet. Let`s get out in the streets and march and protest instead of sitting at home and blogging. I do think it would be an incredible experiment to shut down the whole Internet for five years and see what sort of art is produced over that span. There`s too much technology available. I`m sure, as far as music goes, it would be much more interesting than it is today.

It would certainly have been very unusual for the court to rule against the father because the law presumes that a person`s parent is their guardian, and doesn`t appoint outside guardians in the normal course of events, ... For the court to appoint a third-party guardian it would usually need an indication that something was badly wrong in the parent-child relationship, such as abuse.
- Adam CohenIf there`s any place that Bode connects, it`s with kids. The way CBS portrayed him in their press release gave kids this misguided view that this is how they should be acting.
- Brad WilliamsBy not keeping their commitment, (Michigan ) Gov. (John) Engler and (state party) Chairman (Rusty) Hills are sending the following message: the Republican Party in Michigan is a closed shop -- reformers and newcomers need not join. This does not bode well for our party in the general election in an important battleground state like Michigan.
