Just some food for thought

I'm not for piracy, but I think it's not fair that artists in the entertainment industry should get paid so much. Why should they get a dollar each, for example, from each person who wants a copy of their song? Entertainment is well, just entertainment and singing is just singing. Lots of people can sing well. Even if we get songs for free, artists will still be earning big bucks. I mean, if the masses like the artist, he or she will have enormous marketability. They still earn a nice sum outta commercials, song rights for product endorsements, holding concerts and etc. The bottom line is that their pay cheques are just not justifiable. I seriously think that entertainment artists of today are as overpaid as the wall street bankers. My opinion is that in the future, this is gonna change.

Yay for Barack Obama

I must say that I have high hopes for Barack Obama. It's not 'cos I'm been overwhelmed by his suave-ness or that I want to be able to claim to be living in the period in time when the first African American president came to seat. It's not just that. These may be one of the more superficial things a person could look at when it comes to electing a president. But I support him 'cos Obama is a symbol of what the world needs today. He is a symbol of change. A much needed change that the whole world needs in order to restore faith and hope especially in times like this. McCain is also good actually, but in terms of brains, there's surely no lack of that in America, I'm sure. But charisma, compassion, the ability to command attention and make us believe and move hearts - that's just 1 in a billion.
