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

A Stormy Campaign

As I sat and watched the coverage of the Sandy hurricane's devastation of the east coast, I was surprised at how quiet the formerly (G)OP became.  Romney had to eat his words again about dissolving FEMA, when, again, it is need most of all.  Obama just acted Presidential and got things moving, while shedding the red-tape AND best of all is his newly formed relationship with Christie in New Jersey.  I got the impression that that Governor felt that he had endorsed the wrong candidate.  The campaign took back-seat to the disaster AND before you know it, it will be voting day- AND, by now everyone has forgotten the debates.  I predict that the victor in this campaign will be second-termer POTUS.

Delaware Decision
Bambi, a blonde in her fourth year as a UCLA freshman, sat in her USA government class. The professor asked Bambi if she knew what Roe vs. Wade was about.

Bambi pondered the question then finally said, "That was the decision George Washington had to make before he crossed the Delaware"
