Note to Jimmy Plage: with today's better copyright laws, taking that much specifi-
cally of someone else's song (it's like Led Zep were doing an impression of Wil-
liamson's cover of a Dixon tune before and after their jam) isn't an homage till
you put proper credit on and send (big Led Zep) royalty money. Before that, it's
like someone stealing your car and the robber calling it an homage to how much
they liked your taste in cars.

Corruption in China
by fulltimestudent in
1. social
2. current
consider this scenario:.

a young lawyer is elected mayor of the city and promises to rid it of the corruption it's famous for.

the problem is that most of the corruption he's vowed to eliminate is caused by the crooked political machine that helped elect him.. .
