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

As I read more and more about Palin and her Bus Tour, I have realized that there are many more reasons that I would not vote to put her in office.  Besides all the obvious ones, I just don't trust her.  I believe she is secretive and subversive. That may be because of the way that the  "lamestream media" paints her, but I doubt it.
