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

Treasure of the Knights of the Golden Circle

Give me a break, puhleeze!
Palin manages to piss-off yet another group. She showed up to her New York engagement wearing a star of David.  Will this get her votes?  I think not.  Not to worry though, as we will all be saved in the next election by God himself's choice, Michelle Bachmann (snicker).  

The claim is that Palin is an unpredictable problem for the formerly"G"OP, but I'm betting that they are financing her shenanigans, whether she runs or not, she get more attention (good or bad) than anyone else except (big mouthed) Trump.

We watched The Mechanic last evening.  It was full of action, not much emotion.  Acting was flat, but you always watch these kind of movies to see the action.

We also watched a show on TV about the Knights of the Golden Circle.  Supposedly during the Civil War there were about $20 million in gold and silver (Confederate funds for war supplies) that never made it to their destination. Somewhere along the path from point A to point B, the funds disappeared or as the lore goes, the KGC hid the money somewhere.  The story covered the treasure hunters that have only found part of the treasure.  Also it discussed the possibility and feasibility that Lincoln's assassination was part of a conspiracy funded by the KGC.  They are a secret society that conceivably still exists today.  It was a very interesting show.
