Crunch crunch crunch the vise closes on ordinary people

The recording industry just came up with yet another way to throw its customers in prison.   Tennessee is enacting a law to make it illegal to share passwords for "entertainment subscription services" like Netflix and Rhapsody. From the Associated Press:

State lawmakers in country music's capital have passed a groundbreaking measure that would make it a crime to use a friend's login - even with permission - to listen to songs or watch movies from services such as Netlix or Rhapsody.

The news above emphasizes that governments , politicians, regulators are paid off by people who don't care about regular people.  They just care about money and power and they like whoever can supply it to them.

Herman Cain ( presidential contender ) thinks USA is pizza joint

Cain: With All Due Respect, Obama Couldn't Run a Pizza Joint

Fast-rising GOP presidential candidate Herman Cain, the former Godfather’s Pizza CEO emerging as a strong contender in the Iowa caucuses, blasted President Barack Obama’s leadership abilities in an exclusive Newsmax interview, saying Obama “could not run one Godfather’s pizza restaurant.”

Cain, who has been rising fast in the polls after his impressive showing in last month’s presidential debate in South Carolina, called the president as an indecisive leader who has lost most Americans' confidence.

“The president has demonstrated that he lacks leadership in a whole lot of ways [and] could not run a company,” Cain told Newsmax. “And I don’t mean to be disrespectful: He could not run one Godfather’s pizza restaurant.

“Instead of being decisive, he dithers,” Cain said. “Instead of having a management structure where he can entrust to some key people responsibility, he has an organization that is unmanageable. When he added 36 czars to go with the ones he already inherited, that is an unmanageable structure. So nobody knows who’s in charge."
 
The article above demonstrates on of the fallacies of the the modern democracy  ..... That one man or an oligarchy can control a large group of people effectively.  By any measure, this kind of control has always been a failure.   Whether one examines economic success or the happiness of individuals or success in war or freedom indices or some other group metric .......... the implementation of the IPPP ( Intelligent Puzzle Pieces Paradigm ) produces better results than central control.   Stated another way ( tip of the hat to Judge Napolitano ) , if each individual is given freedom to pursue their personal goals, the result is superior to any other approach.
The fact that humans continue to cling to outmoded methods of organization can be explained by the Lizard Brain theory.  Humans are processing the present with brains that evolved starting one million years ago !
