the hole in the fence

i don't know how or why the fire started, i don't care. i don't care whose responsibility it is to fix the fence. i don't care about the kids coming into my back yard.
i woke from a nap, unable to see without my glasses and realized that both the kids from next door were standing at the end of my bed staring at me.
i handled this as gracefully as always by saying
get out of here--what are you doing?

just watching a dvd and they have a "commercial" about how you wouldn't steal a candy bar or a car and buying bootleg movies is the same thing. they mean because they are both illegal. i understand that so i do not understand why they ("commercial" makers) would think we are all stupid to think that this sameness in being illegal is enough to make us ignore the truth of the situation.
the truth is that it is ridiculous how much people make in the movie business. they do this by charginf exhorbinant amounts to see a movie, to buy a movie, making them impossible to copy. it makes no sense in any, but especially in a capitalist system for movies, that are mostly refried crap, to make so much money. and in a capitalist system, the buying and selling of bootleg copies is exactly what should happen when people become so out of tune to what is supply and demand.
either they want capitalism or they don't. either they want laws to make sense or they don't. it appears all they want is to make money.
