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

Old Sores....

One of my favorite actresses of all time was Natalie Wood.  I was heartbroken when she died.  I have to admit that I really thought that there were many strange circumstances for it to be called accidental.  I also noticed that Robert Wagner wasted no time remarrying afterward.  Now, thirty years after the fact, they are reopening the death investigation due to new evidence from the then captain of the yacht she was on that fateful night, which implicates Robert Wagner.  Where in the hell has this guy been ?  Is this an attack of conscience? AMAZING!

Years ago, when I was still naive enough to have bank accounts at BofA, they began to charge me for any more than two deposits made  in a month.  What is that about?  Here is more money to loan out and make interest on!  I quickly closed all my accounts.
Now they, along with a few more banks, are charging for cash deposits.  Isn't that the kind of deposits that a bank wants ?  Why would I have a bank account, if it weren't for putting cash in it ?  As ridiculous as it sounds, it is even MORE ridiculous that someone would pay these fees to have the bank HOLD their money.  The more controversial it becomes to do business with banks (these particularly), the more reasons that they give not to.

One Sunday morning the priest noticed Little Johnny was staring up at the large plaque that hung in the foyer of the church. It was covered with names, and small American flags were mounted on either side of it. The seven-year old had been staring at the plaque for some time, so the priest walked up, stood beside the boy, and said quietly, "Good morning, Little Johnny."

"Good morning, Father," replied the young man, still focused on the plaque. "Father Scott, what is this?" Little Johnny asked. "Well, son, it's a memorial to all the young men and women who died in the service." Soberly, they stood together, staring at the large plaque. Little Johnny's voice was barely audible when he asked, "Which service, the 9:45 or the 11:15?"
