Dean to pinch hit for Lessig
This Slashdot article discusses that Governor Howard Dean of Vermont, Democratic presidential candidate, will guest blog for law professor Lawrence Lessig during the latter’s vacation. And I was just listening to one of the Sunday morning yack-yack shows this past weekend about Dean; did they mention the word Internet anywhere? That’s old media for you.
Posted by Deleted User at July 13, 2003 02:57 PMI agree that this is truly sureal (is that 1 r or 2?). I like the trend, though. More Dems and Repubs should be using the internet as a campaign tool. If done correctly, it could be great tool for the democratic process.
I would also love to see someone, from either party, take up copyright law and fair-use policy, as Lessig does. American copyright (and patents) are moving from something that fostered innovation, competition, and creativity, into something that *stifles* those things. And that is bad for our economy, in the long run.

There are 16 to 20 comments on the conservative blog by libs while there is a leftist lovefest at the liberal blog with me as the only attacking conservative. Am i the only one to notice this? When you go to the democrat blog everyone is agreeing with each other and on the conservative blog a guy makes a post and then 20 libs attack it and 2 or 3 defend it. WTF? Seems like a sham to me. what a joke.
