<description><![CDATA[I am happy that your voice is improving   I have a similar anomaly and would like to  know where you went for treatment.
I am a nurse. Have an appt at Vanderbilt. Coincidentally, my husband went to Wake Forest in 1993 for a laryngoplasty for paryalyzed vocal cord. I do not believe mine is paralyzed. I use a voice amp to speak. If you can share any info with me I would truly appreciate all that you can share. Thank you so very much

<description><![CDATA[im not sure how word selection is anymore relevant to 'morality' than argument selection.  that you and another person have the same facts does not mean you've both followed the same paths in reasoning nor weighted the issues similarly.   by adding the proper 'connotation' to your thoughts, you help the other person see your view the way you do.  they are free to do the same.   that they might not have the same level of capability as you to do provide the same level of insight into their views may just be one more indicator that they really dont fully understand their own view, in which case, it might they might as well just have your view.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Glad to hear your voice is getting better, I have to admit it was very unnatural to not hear instructions when watching the cartoon demonstration, I caught myself playing with the volume on my PC thinking the sound was buggered. 

Thanks for the hit of happiness today.

Just to let you know, you are now my most commonly quoted of all informative sorces.

<description><![CDATA[kris44dad is moving in the right direction - it's not just patents, but copyright also.  In fact, copyright is really in worse condition than patents.  At least patents expire at some point.  Copyright has been extended again and again to the point where in effect they don't expire at all.

The whole idea that Scott points out of being able to use what someone else created, but in new and interesting ways, is just what the founding fathers had in mind when they put copyright and patent protection in the constitution.  A limited protection for the author or creator guarantees them some return on their investment so it's worth their time to create something, but then it goes into the public domain so that everyone else can build off their creation after a few years.  The creator gets paid, and everyone else gets something useful to mashup and combine to create something else new.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[I've been reading Basic Instructions regularly since you turned me on to it.  Scott (Oscar) Meyer is a funny guy with a great comic.  To be honest, though, it seems to have been on a downswing for the past month or two.

I'm a bit confused about the voice improving.  I thought that you discovered some type of change-in-context for your speaking, which provided the breakthrough you needed in order to speak normally.  Am I smoking crack?  Did that not actually happen?]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[I just bought my copy of &quot;Basic Instructions&quot; - Love the comic and glad you promoted it.. Those dream comics are pretty good too. 
Real glad that your getting your voice back. The procedure sounds like such a long shot, and yet, success! Hope you keep your voice for good. Just don't let the Sea Witch get her hands on it.

<description><![CDATA[Scott  Glad you got your voice back.

It is always amazing to me when anyone in their self-appointed wisdom place limitation on the human mind, body and spirit. Our species on this spinning globe over the eons of time consistently progress to higher and higher levels of attainment. Be it for evil or for good humanoids grow and develop in every way. Be it survival at the most primitive level of the primeval days of Gork and Bong, or smashing atoms in a 17 mile particle race track.

Wish these eggheads would quit putting artificial and totally arbitrary limitations on us. We will be around long after this planet implodes/explodes tooling around in the universe doing amazing and undreamed of wonders until the end of time.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Hey Scott, I'm glad to hear about your voice. I hope everything turns out well.
You know I still get comments on being fired for posting the comic. I was fired one year ago, the 30th of this month. Still working where I can walk to work.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[1.) This makes me happy. A little help ... is being unexpectedly happy after learning about positive fortune of others the opposite of schadenfreude?

2. ) Thrilled about your voice improving, Scott. I'm sure 60 Minutes will want to a follow program. They like positive follow-ups to previous programs about people struggling with a problem, dysfunction, disease or handicap. Personally, I'd rather hear you as a guest on NPR's Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me, either as a sem-regular panelist or as a guest on their Not My Job segment.

3.) I though of a positive reason for the existence of black holes and why they are highly essential and necessary as part of the fabric of the universe ( what, you think, I'm going to publish here, first?), now I have to sit down and figure out the math, or hire a struggling physics student in graduate studies to do it for me.]]></description>
