People are Crazy.

The definition of insanity:

Does everyone know that the internet is not a real place? That Facebook.com isn't like a store that you can go inside? There is not, on the internet, much of a limitation on real estate, like there is in a city.

I guess a little while ago the powers-that-be decided that the internet could expand. So some companies hitherto non-existent sprang up to sell domains ending in such things as .electricians and .kansas and .whatever. .democrat was one of the things that popped up.

I don't know about any one else, but the idea that these words are "for sale" has always struck me as an odd thing. Now, there is an infinity of new permutations for sale. To whomever thinks it is a good idea to buy a domain.

Dr. Larry Kawa got it into his educated head that it would be a good idea to buy up as many domains with .democrat on the end that he could think of. Somehow to limit the democrats from buying any? I am not sure. What's to stop anyone from buying 2016.dem instead of 2016.democrat someday? Or 2016.dems? or 2016.net? 2016.america? 2016.wearetheoneswhoareright? There really aren't limitations. If Kawa is buying domains, the only thing this is really doing, as far as I can see, is funneling a bunch of money into the pockets of "Rightside" (who sells the .democrat domains) for doing nothing but being there. All the thousands of domains he buys will be untenable, unfindable in the multilateral internet. Good job, "Rightside" at making a niche market for yourselves. Wish everyone could have such a cushy job. I just wish we has more occupations in this world that actually meant Anything. 

It is bloody pointless. There is no store-front to let anyone know how he really feels (other than than the media attention). But anyone rational will just laugh at the lunacy.
