my alter ego

Oh wait ... that's me, has taken to acquiring rare footage via a source. That being made unclear, one item is Der Feuhrer's Face. Why it was banned, was likely due to post WWII sentiment, as the Germans very much like European Americans were not treated as terribly as the Japanese. Donald Duck's foray into political incorrectness -- or "as we see it", didn't taint him poorly. Disney did many more for the counter Japanese propaganda machine for hating (typical war move) to rally your people against the enemy. My "alter ego" as it were, also has acquired a number of odditites that it could not otherwise afford or find, like sound bites. As Blogger tends not to like to burden itself with 50 gig files that may or may not be valid, copyrighted or otherwise large, understandably, I have not been able to append a sound bite to my indentity. I also have a tendency to switch often so that I am ... less concrete. Video, available through My Tube, Google Video, etc. is the in thing, but ... I'd rather have it to view. Now. If I could load a DVD that I bought, onto my HD and watch it anytime ... that's what I would do. They have DVD rippers, but ever-clever companies are trying to proactively anticipate programmers so that they can't make effect DVD rippers. For the case of piracy -- I understand that, and more more money. Say, like Disney who puts out Cinderella, then puts it away in a "vault", then puts it out again. Products as a weapon.
Much like sex as a weapon, it leaves you angry, used, peeved and seeking another way. The weapon-user becomes more an advasary than a lover, since, sex -- a pleasurable thing is denied, making it no longer recreational, but rather a privilige. Thereafter, you really try to distance yourself from the "item", in the Disney case, the movie, noting that it wasn't that good ... not worth it ... find another. Why hide it ... to "make it more valuable". Bull! You wouldn't sell it to me then ... you won't make a sale now! Unlike food and water, it is a luxury that I can do without.

That isn't the same with sex (wow ... pairing Disney, movies, sex, extortion ... a new low), necessary, no ... but great and keeps most people "normal" and content.
