    We are going to have to decide. LOL.

    We should take a percentage of their profits and prop up newspapers.

    We are going to have to decide fairly soon whether Google, Facebook and Amazon are the kinds of natural monopolies that need to be regulated, or whether we allow the status quo to continue, pretending that unfettered monoliths don’t inflict damage on our privacy and democracy.

    It is impossible to deny that Facebook, Google and Amazon have stymied innovation on a broad scale. To begin with, the platforms of Google and Facebook are the point of access to all media for the majority of Americans. While profits at Google, Facebook and Amazon have soared, revenues in media businesses like newspaper publishing or the music business have, since 2001, fallen by 70 percent.

    We just had a campaign full of seven degrees of Kevin Bacon to prove how corrupt Hillary was profiteering from her role as Secretary of State.

    Yet here we are with Trump openly directing public money into his pocket via Mar-A-Lago, and all YankeeFan wants to talk about is Chelsea Clinton.

    It's like Brooklyn, but they are saving the world from Drumpf (Damn autocorrect).

    An appeal for good manners and decency? That's wonderful.

    And the Atheist speaker he pretty blantantly missed was Bill Maher.

    How smart or informed do you have to be to get an opinion in the Times? The answer appears to be ... not very.

    I couldn't actually watch the video. But I thought @Starman might enjoy it.

    The best way to appear to be a "real man" is to not stand too close to me.

    I set the standard too high.

    For whatever reason, I'm reminded of Jill Eikenberry's Susan in Arthur ...

    Susan: A real woman could stop you from drinking.
    Arthur: It'd have to be a real big woman.
