I ran a Twitter contest this morning, and I'm now sending a galley of the book to Brazil. Oops?
Fair warning - we've switched to a digital-files-only policy for all of our Brazil-based clients because of far too many tapes being "lost" going through customs. And that's sending via Fedex.
Ugh, Jessica. Well, if she doesn't get it ... she doesn't get it. It's free, after all.
The "privilege" thing was making me think about my student worker. She is a registered Republican, but says she is really a libertarian. And she and her husband are planning on moving to Norway so their children (hypothetical thus far) can get a "free" education and "free" healthcare. But she is very against socialism.
Huh?

She is the very definition of hypocrite.
There have been news stories about various politicians who are against "government handouts" who have, in the past, gotten various benefits from that same government. Like the protesters with "keep government out of my Medicare" signs.
