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

Game Over: Obama-1, Osama-0

My hat is off to the fantastic Navy Seals for their fine work taking out Bin Laden.  It is too bad that it took so much energy, money and time to locate this guy- for sure.  I expect that Pakistan is going to be pissed that we ventured in their country to do a hit.  Al Qaeda will certainly attempt retribution.... Won't it be interesting to see the reaction of the Saudis and the rest of the Middle East?  So now that Osama is off the list, the cry has been heard to take out Gadhafi.  Why don't people see that there is a difference?  If that was going to happen, it should only happen from a Libyan.

Here's a good one,  Julian Assange has called Facebook   "An appalling spying machine "! Apparently the Justice Department is training operatives to utilize social networking (i.e. Facebook) as a tool for spying [that should be really easy].
