You see, now that YouTube has been bought by Google, they're taking videos down about as quickly as the mob can put them up.

I'll try my best to keep putting cool YouTube content up, but I guess this is your incentive to check the blog early and often - I make no guarantees about when the new GooTube's copyright lawyers are cracking down.

AMERICAN OPTIMISM IS WANING.

I love how everyone talks about conspiracy theories - are they right, or are they crazy?

For me, the bigger message is that Americans are willing to believe such things - whether they are true or not is not as important as the fact that Americans distrust their own government, corporations, etc.

It's this belief that leads to the publishing of books like this one:

Amazon.com: Getting Out: Your Guide to Leaving America (Process Self-reliance Series): Books: Mark Ehrman

It's time we wake up, and realize that we're losing faith in institutions, and losing our sense of innocense about our place in the world.

Urination will go to committee

A local decision that schoolboys must sit on toilet seats when urinating has provoked political debate.

The head of The Democrats Party, a splinter group of former Progress Party hardliners, Vidar Kleppe, is outraged that boys at Dvergsnes School in Kristiansand have to sit and pee.

Kleppe accuses the school of fiddling with God's work, and wants the matter discussed at the executive committee level of the local council, newspaper Dagbladet reports.

"When boys are not allowed to pee in the natural way, the way boys have done for generations, it is meddling with God's work," Kleppe told the newspaper.

"It is a human right not to have to sit down like a girl," Kleppe said.
