WOO! Shrift, that freaking rocks.
Gunn: The final score can't be rigged. I don't care how many players you grease, that last shot always comes up a question mark. But here's the thing. You never know when you're taking it. It could be when you're duking it out with the Legion of Doom, or just crossing the street deciding where to have brunch. So you just treat it like it was up to you—the world in balance—'cause you never know when it is.

digital divide-
I put myself and those who have money for a computer, or are able to access a computer/internet through their community/library/school/job on the "have" side of the rift. It's a combination of having the resources and the desire to use them.
I also think of those in developing countries that may not have the infrastructure in place, even if they had the personal resources to access them. So a slightly different than the other categories of The Other Side Of THe Rift From Me, which also include:
1) people who do not have the personal resources (money, community) and/or priorities to have access to the internet
2) people who couldn't give a rats ass about the internet (I am thinking mostly of people who are older/senior citizen-not all, of course- didn't grow up with it, don't need it, don't care)

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Who are the haves and who are the have-nots?
I think I had the same reaction to that article as you did. I never viewed the divide the way they do, but rather as the rich vs the poor.

Aljazeera discusses the FSM
This place has ruined me - I first read this as "Aljazeera discusses FCM" and boggled appropriately.

Jennifer Lopez as Sue Ellen,
The FUCK???? oh yeah, I would have left. Travolta as JR could have had some comic effect (like Shatner on Boston Legal), but the rest of the casting choices are dreadful)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Yay shrift!!
But that's because the cheese sandwiches are now leash-walked- goat cheese with pesto mayo whipped while italian arias soar, foreign, rare baby lettuce lovingly coaxed from the earth at midnight on some fancy bread whose wheat was whispered to each night under the moon.
HAR.
I'm not sure if my computer screen is not very bright or if my eyes are having trouble adjusting to being back inside, and I'm not sure which would be worse. Hmph.

Whoot! No offense, Hec, but today's wait for the momentous meeting with the boss was a lot more fun than yesterday's.
