Corporate America has just about snuffed out the OC (Original Citizen). We now are totally dependent on name brands and trademark logos. The local suppliers and/or producers are shunted to the background shopping areas. It's fucking disgusting.

It makes sense, though. With so much information to wade through, consumers are attracted to well-marketed brands and logos as a means of quality assurance.

And consumers have a choice to reject commercialism by shopping at cooperatives. I get most of my food at the Cambridge Coop.

Most consumers are brainwashed through advertising. I shot a lot of that brainwash material.

That's what I heard. In 1976.

No one cared about the degree - it was all about the technical and business expertise gained there. Photography, at it's top level, is all about the guild model. Assistant to shooter, and sometimes to art director, if that's what you want. I didn't.

What did you want?

Everyone is ripping off the system now. This is what happens when government (any government) takes control of a project. Fucking nightmare.

But corporations (in modern times) are arguably not a solution either. If you think about it, corporations perform on a command and control basis, and are little "communist" entities swimming in a free market sea. As such, they are naturally more inclined to inefficiency, much like any other bureaucracy.

Did you see where Brooks was acquiring full accreditation?

No.

Are they?

A bunch of private sector consultants, contractors, and employees earned state money. A bunch teachers got cut away like fat off the meat. Good job.

Somebody really does need to kill James.

You are such a POS. You would last two seconds with me before I twisted the pinhead off of your scrawny neck.

Tough guy.

WHAT EXACTLY PISSES YOU OFF? THE FACT THAT THE U.S. CAN SPEND $500 MILLION ON A PUBLIC SCHOOL? WE SHOULD HAVE MORE OF THESE.

Longer growing season in the south. Established military and social structure. Lots of ports.

The North was a manufacturing and money center.

Gosh ... thanks for telling us what everyon else has already fucking said. Aren't you late for a date with suicide?

Thanks for your contribution. Get that GED yet?

Somebody needs to pop a Glock in your mouth.

Try it, cunt.

Actually, the difference between a mediocre show and a classic is often EXACTLY that -- that the crew takes enough care with the tiny background details that they create a much more satisfying tableau on which the main characters can do their thing.

This.

My sister, while an undergrad at NYU, got cast as a corpse on Law & Order. Apparently she did such a good job of it that she got invited back one more time on that show, plus a couple of times on L&O spin-offs. Only once did she have a speaking line (an exclamation before the gun was fired). But, apparently, she really fit the bill of what they sometimes wanted in a "pretty dead girl" who you would only see on screen for a second or two.

when your character doesnt have a name, your not on the show. sorry

Look, asshole. If there were no one-line nobodies interacting with your character, you wouldn't have a role.

To determine if an egg is hardboiled, spin it on the counter.
-forgot

Hang on how is it supposed to spin different than a raw egg? My lesson for this is that it is done when the boiling water evaporates instantly from the shell.
