[apophenia] apophenia: Web2.0 Expo Talk: Streams of Content, Limited Attention: The presenter is unable to consume that content when on stage so it becomes a way of publicly talking behind the speaker's back. I think that there's a lot to be gained by having a backchannel than anyone can be a part of if they so choose, but I think that forcing the audience to simultaneously consume a Twitter stream while watching a speaker (especially at the expense of their slides) provides little to the actual conversation.

That seems to make it clear that HICs will be charging the sick more and looking for outs in providing coverage, otherwise what is the point of this exception?

Last year, CBS rejected an advertisement from the liberal advocacy group MoveOn.org claiming it was too political as well.

[Clusterfuck Nation] Swingtime - Clusterfuck Nation: The Christian Byzantine rulers decided the cause of all those military defeats was the widespread use of Icons in religious worship, so they began a brutal persecution of their brothers Christians who insisted on the use of the Icons, diverting focus, attention, money and manpower from the real cause and enemy -- strong Arab/Muslim armies - to the imagined enemy of their brothers who liked their Icons. For many decades these poor misguided souls were killing each other while the Muslims were enslaving their brothers and sisters (literally selling the captives into slavery), and paying huge ransoms/tributes to the Arabs to keep them from invading Constatinople.
