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

Mebbie I need My Own PAC & a Billion $ to Feed It...

There's a big commotion about the enhancements (?) that  Zuck has made to Fleecebook, but as an aside: they have also created a Facebook Political Action Committee (PAC).  This, of course, must come with a lobby and a list of politicians that are influence-able, or need influencing, or bribing.  When you control as much money as Zuck, it is no surprise that he would want to influence politics.  I am disgusted in the obvious "interference" that big business has on politics.  It is time for a redo. Perry said that corporations are people, too.  I don't agree with him, but they ARE being treated as such. [Wonder when they will execute one in Texas...]  Why can corporations get away without paying their share of taxes ?  It is time for a flat tax- fairness to the poor,  fairness to the middle class, fairness to the wealthy, and fairness to the corporations.  UNFORTUNATELY, since lobbies exist and have such phenomenal powers- that flat tax will never happen!

Very Personal:
I wish to share an experience with you. As we know, many of us have had brushes with the authorities regarding drinking and driving. Well I for one did something about it. The other night I was out for dinner with some friends and frankly I had way too much Vino. Knowing full well I was wasted, I did something I had never done before. I took a bus home. I arrived safe and without incident which was a real surprise since I had never driven a bus before.
