“It’s the same concept—the only difference is that some backers (like you, given your comments) evidently feel entitled to a system of, “success or nothing,” rather than “success or bust,” that most venture capital projects pursue.”

You’re not investing with Kickstarter. It’s a fundraising site, prettied up donations if you will. Unless you want to get all philosophical about how you’re “investing” in a dream, but gator don’t play that shit.

The NFLPA would have already renegotiated the CBA to allow teams to negate contracts in full for any reason in exchange for an additional 0.02% of the net income from internet streaming of the World Series.

The takeaway should really be that pretty much everyone and everything is probably covered in a thin sheen of poop at all times. Deal with it, and sterilize before medical procedures.

Everything is covered in poop. Fact of life.
