My Statement

"Let me emphatically say that I am not anti-Facebook (Fleecebook), anti-smart phone, anti-Microsoft, anti-Apple, anti-Google or anti-Internet. I do believe, though, that the consumer is being ripped off of his privacy, identity and purchase history. We are being herded into a Facebook corner where what we "Like" and where we go physically and on the net will be scrutinized and sold numerous times to actually corrode and erode our culture while tempting us only with convenience, high tech and flashing video screens. The unsuspecting consumers need to be aware..." - Gary Lapman

Big Brother Never Left...

So you were expecting not to lose any more rights, correct ?  The court says that you don't have a right to drive your car where you want to without the authorities knowing about it.  Apparently, they can stick a GPS device under your car anytime they want, without a warrant.  By the way, Big Brother is moving in...  Seems to me that the court is being lazy here, not restricting the Police to use warrants.

Some people dream of retirement, but this girl hasn't showed up to work in twelve years, but he did get paid for working.  She received between $300,000 and $480,000 with benefits.  They are going after her for fraud, now.  It seems, though, that the gubmint agency is more to blame, though.  Why didn't they know that she wasn't working.  Don't we all have to file a W-4 form to know how much to withhold from checks ?  If she didn't file one, how would they know her social security number either.  This place has BIG problems, especially that it took them so long to find the error!







The driver of a huge tractor trailer lost control of his rig, he
plowed into an empty tollbooth and smashed it to pieces.

He climbed down from his truck and looked at the wreckage, not
quite sure what to do. Within a matter of minutes, another truck
pulled up and unloaded a crew of workers.

The men picked up each broken piece of the former tollbooth and
spread some kind of creamy substance on it. Then they began
fitting the pieces together. In less than a half hour, they had
the entire tollbooth reconstructed and good as new.

"Astonishing!" the truck driver said to the crew chief. "What was
that white stuff you used to get all of the pieces together?"

The crew chief said, "Oh, that was tollgate booth paste."
