I mean it is capitalism, plain and simple. If someone can provide me with a superior service at a reasonable price, I will pay for it. If I can get something for free that is better than what I would have to pay for it, why should I pay for it? Its not logical.
Why do you think I buy so many Blu-Rays? Even the illegal infrastructure isn't there to support HD piracy with quick speeds, storage capacity, and compatability between devices. I cannot get the quality I want for free. Therefore, I am willing to pay money for it. Its really quite simple. Offer me a superior service and I will pay for it. Offer me an inferior service and I won't.
We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls. The only thing that really worried me was the ether. There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke
It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...." Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson
