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

OMG

I never thought I would ever agree with Sarah Palin about anything, but recently she commented about the Syrian ordeal:  "Let Allah sort it out later..." is what she said.  I agree that someone crossed the infamous red line in Syria, but we really don't know absolutely for sure who that was.  What should be done ?  Probably the worst action that could be taken, is more violence.  There are way too many extenuating circumstances regarding which group would end up in power when the dust settled.  Perhaps an economic blockade would be more effective...



Italian secret to a long marriage
At St. Peter's Catholic Church in Baltimore, they have weekly husbands' Marriage Seminars.

At the session last week, the priest asked Tony, who said he was approaching his 50th wedding anniversary, to take a few minutes and share some insight into how he had managed to stay married to the same woman all these years.

Tony replied to the assembled husbands, 'Wella, I'va tried to treat her a nice, a spenda da money on her, but besta of all is, I tooka her to Italy for the 25th anniversary!'

The priest responded, 'Tony, you are an amazing inspiration to all the husbands here! Please tell us, what you are planning for your wife for your 50th anniversary?'

Tony proudly replied, " I gonna go pick her up."
