Comment on Why I Love Politicians and What We Can Learn from Them by SJ Heckscher-Marquis

I used to believe in the political process. But over the years I have grown less and less connected. Once upon a time, politicians were great thinkers, men of substance. Now they seem to think that substance equals money. Today’s politicians are not great, they are barely even memorable. They don’t listen. However they start out, they are quickly corrupted by the gravy train. We often hear that public servants need huge salaries because that is what attracts the best people. I would argue that the best people would be attracted to a job because of the job’s merit, not its financial worth, and that being adequately compensated for a job well done is its own reward. Nobody needs excessive salaries and huge bonuses. Will this ever change? Probably not. The system is fixed, people vote, or not, and the politicians reassure themselves that everything is just dandy, and the people are satisfied because the system assures that this the only possible answer.

This is just a little bit spammy.

Pond5 is a decent stock media resource, especially for video. Please keep in mind StockFuel as well for your video stock media demands. Easy access, cheaper and easy to manage than most. Also, a decent amount of quality video stock files.

I can only hope that “Continuum” can relieve my Battlestar Gallactica hangover.

Great post, Sib.

Curiously enough I only knew about 4 of the shows listed above, despite my active presence and engagement online, before I read this blog. This is a struggle for viewers and creators alike.

I am thrilled to see that many creators are finding success and audiences are connecting to content presented on the web. =)

That last paragraph summed it all up well, audiences are earned one person at a time! Create content and they will come is not true at all in this cluttered online video world.

Excellent article, thanks for sharing!

Does this mean that the IAWTV will be adding a conflict of interest clause to their By Laws:
