You Are South America You are sensual, passionate, and resilient. You live fast but so far you've been able to avoid dying young. You are charming and ambitious. You've had some setbacks, but you always overcome them with style and grace. You are hard to pin down, and much more sophisticated than you appear at first glance. You are culturally literate and very aware of your place in the world. You are as sexy as people say, but there's so much more to you than that. What Continent Are You?

You Think Best While You're Driving In order to be able to think, you need to be able to have time to think. Problem is, there isn't a lot of time for that in your life. When you are driving, you are finally able to let your mind wander. And it wanders to some pretty interesting places. Depending on the conditions, driving can make you feel elated, relaxed, or even frustrated. All of these varying emotions spark a lot of revelations. While the thoughts you have while driving may have a lot of noise in them, there's definitely some insight to be found. Where Do You Think Best? Blogthings: Waste Time at Work!

Honestly I use the word like A LOT. I have actually said as a response to something... Like, y'know, whatever. I may have just pissed off the whole board and.... As with Rev and Pomba I hate the word race but only as in a running competition. Call it what it is A two-footed match of forward motion with the intention of seeing who's faster than who.

The part that gets me on this is that Monster knows they don't have a case but they don't care, because this guy can't afford to fight it. I think there was a thread on how we feel about American corporations. As far as this one's concerned... I'll be sure not to buy anything of theirs again -
I don't hate everything right-wing. I may disagree with it but i don't always hate it. And I don't always agree with the liberal point of view (albeit that is less often). I have a lot of respect for libertarians which is actually further to the right. And why do I respect them? Consistency. Libertarians are small government across the board. On one hand they don't believe in nationalized health care, taxes (whether for richer or poorer), welfare, gun control, etc... On the other hand they also don't believe the government can't enforce morality such as in cases of gay rights (which I don't understand as a moral issue anywho), drugs or prostitution (and might I add in the case of Ron Paul would have been veheminately* opposed to the patriot act . It's safe for me to assume that they would be against the current (or any) health care bill, as well as being against the government intrusion in the Terry Schiavo case. And to me this shows consistency, which i respect

Monster-maker to Vt. brewer: No 'Vermonster' beer MORRISVILLE, Vt. – Forget David and Goliath. This fight's between Matt and Monster. The maker of Monster energy drinks has taken aim at a Vermont brewery that sells a beer called "The Vermonster," ordering it to stop selling, advertising and promoting the craft brew because it could confuse consumers. The energy drink-maker, Hansen Beverage Co., wants tiny Rock Art Brewery to stop using the name "Vermonster" on the barley brew and to compensate it for its attorneys' fees. Matt Nadeau, who owns the brewery with his wife, Renee, says he's been told by five trademark attorneys that the law is probably on his side, but that proving it through lengthy litigation could bankrupt him. "This is just about principle," said Nadeau, 43. "Corporate America can't be allowed to do this, in this day and age. It's just not right." The beer is made at Rock Art's small warehouse brewery in Morrisville, which employs seven people, and is sold in 22-ounce brown glass bottles. It hit the market in 2007, and is now sold in Vermont, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Connecticut and Arizona. Based in Corona, Calif., Hansen sold over $1 billion worth of Monster drinks last year. The products carry a distinctive three-line logo designed to look like a claw mark. "A lifestyle in a can," its Web site proclaims. The dispute began last month, when a lawyer for Hansen Beverage sent an e-mail message to Nadeau's attorneys saying the brewer would "undoubtedly create a likelihood of confusion and/or dilute" Hansen's trademark. The Hansen lawyer who wrote the e-mail, Diane M. Reed, declined to comment. A telephone message left for a Hansen spokeswoman wasn't returned. Nadeau contacted Reed to say the products are in two different markets — beer and energy drinks — and offered to surrender any rights to use the name on an energy drink. According to Nadeau, Reed said that's not Hansen's concern, but that Hansen wants to enter the alcoholic beverage market. "I said `Too bad, I'm already here.' I've been here. And I'm already brewing beer," said Nadeau. Such warning letters aren't unusual in trademark disputes. "The way the law is arranged, the holder of a trademark has to be very aggressive in defending it, even when it's overreaching," said Douglas Riley, Nadeau's trademark attorney. "If you miss a legitimate infringement, people will point out in later years that you weren't defending your properties. You can lose it if you don't defend it, so you err on the side of caution. "Escalator, aspirin, celluloid were once trademarks and they became common jargon because the owners didn't defend them or find a way to stop people from using those names," Riley said. He said he's in discussions with Hansen Beverage representatives. David S. Welkowitz, a trademark law expert who's not involved in the case, says there isn't a hard-and-fast answer, but that litigating the dispute could take a long time — and a lot of money. "People don't have to believe that Hansen makes the beer, they simply have to believe that Hansen approved of it or licensed it," he said. Nadeau has taken his beef online. Rock Art's Web site headlines a description of the dispute as "Rock Art Brewery vs. Corporate America." And his supporters are taking up the cause. "Letting you know I've stopped buying all Hansen/Monster products until you back off on rockartbrewery," one person wrote on Twitter. "Cheering for David v. Goliath," wrote another. One Vermont store decided to boycott Monster. At Beverage Warehouse, in Winooski, co-owner George Bergin has taken Hansen and Monster products off the shelves and is telling customers why. Monster is the store's best-selling energy drink, and sales may be lost, but that's OK, he said. "At least we're getting their attention," Bergin said. "Maybe, hopefully, (Hansen) thought they'd send a threatening letter and realized that Vermont's the kind of place where people stand up for each other, and this might've been a mistake."
