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

Low Key


I don't understand the disappointment of my friends or relatives that I am not making a big deal about my birthday.  It isn't really that I'm downplaying its occurrence, but just not pushing into the "special" day category.  I had assumed (bad idea, probably) that it was my choice to treat it as I wanted, but I get the disapproval look from those involved...  After all, it is just another day.
