Predictions for demos in SC and a rant

Obama 44%, Clinton 34%, Edwards 20%, 2% to various other candidates.

Hope you have a good weekend. I never have time to write anything substantial here. The internet is the most overrated technology in history. If you think the internet is going to "change the world" see the present situation in Burma. 1988:Monks get heads smashed in, thousands imprisoned................2007:Technophiles and Thomas L. Friedmaniacs, "oh, that won't happen now, governments can't oppress people anymore because of the internet!!" Result in Burma; monks get heads smashed in, thousands imprisoned.

Ultimately, the internet is a far more effective tool for government to oppress people and spy on people, than it is for people to change their government.

John.
