America, Freedom and Entrepreneurism
Jun 4th
“America quickly became the strongest, most free, and most prosperous nation in the history because it created a system of government that protects unalienable rights. When entrepreneurs have a level of certainty that their projects will be protected from harm, they are much more likely to expend time and effort on projects that may take awhile to realize a profit.
This is also true for every individual. The more certainty we can create in our lives, the more likely we will be to produce and to take on projects that we otherwise wouldn’t even consider. Conversely, the less certainty in our life, the more fear—and the more fear, the less productivity.”
Garrett B. Gunderson – Killing Sacred Cows
This book is really good. I’d like to put emphasis on the line “the more certainty we can create in our lives.”
Proof: RIAA bots in action

I used to run a website for a client, and there was a page on the site that pointed to places where you could get mp3 versions of U2 songs. (It didn’t provide them. It just pointed to them).
a) This is still the no. 1 accessed page on the site.
b) The image below shows the top 15 ways that page is accessed via keywords
Tell me the record industry doesn’t use bots to search out who’s providing downloads of recording artist’s songs. Do you care? Probably not . . . I just thought it was interesting to see them in action.
