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

La Lengua Disturba

Today I made a phone call to a local utility and after the greeting, I as forced to press 1 for English.  How would I know that if I couldn't understand English.  Why don't I press 1 for NON-English.  That pisses me off almost as much as the State of California printing Driver's Handbooks in umpteen languages.  Don't they have to read street signs or parking tickets...  Why should I pay taxes so that non-English speakers can legally drive ? 


Sorry, the low horse wasn't available tonight, so I'm using the high one.  I guess this whole "pimple" in AZ is getting to me.  I understand that a pregnant illegal having a baby in the US provides citizenship for the baby and it is forever entitled to those benefits.  Does this occur anywhere else in the world ?  Why should it here ?


I heard on the radio that many. many illegal immigrants have been streaming to Catalina, AND Mexico is providing them with fake green cards.  Where is ICE ??  Don't they see the boats on radar or satellite ?  Are we so busy watching the AZ border that we are ignoring the rest of it ?

Right now, I am a registered Republican (not that I'm proud of it), but I am not going to vote in the primary for Governor because of the whole immigration issue.

Spell Chequer
Eye halve a spelling chequer
It came with my pea sea
It plainly marques four my revue
Miss Steaks eye kin knot sea.
Eye strike a key and type a word
And weight four it two say
Weather eye am wrong oar write
It shows me strait a weigh.
As soon as a mist ache is maid
It nose bee fore two long
And eye can put the error rite
Its rarely ever wrong.
Eye have run this poem threw it
I am shore your pleased two no.
Its letter perfect in it's weigh
My chequer tolled me sew.
– Sauce Unknown
