We have been hearing a lot about Google changing their policies. We have been seeing more and more warnings from Facebook and other sites about increasing our security to protect our information and our privacy. We have been reading almost daily on Yahoo News (Yahoo News - quickly becoming Yahoo Crap Stuff) about how to protect our privacy online.
We have one simple question concerning all this...
Who is going to protect our information from Yahoo, Google, Facebook and other sites when they require that information to join yet in turn sell it to third party advertisers?
Our cell phones have gone public making my government issued phone with government issued minutes becoming a sounding board to advertisers calling me regularly. The National Do-Not-Call-List has never amounted to much when signing up with them. I had my home phone number on there since day one yet regularly yielded calls from advertisers wanting to talk to me about everything from Credit Card Debt to my Time Share Investment. Neither of which do we have.
Where and when does our privacy really remain private? Our local government already knows where we live. What our home is worth. How much we pay in taxes and a lot of personal information. Same can be said about Federal government.
Do we really have any amount of privacy or is it only privacy from certain people? Maybe only certain people have a higher degree of privacy. One example of that would be the President. It isn't like you can find his personal cell phone number or a home phone number for him without running the risk of the Secret Service hunting you down. Celebrities phone numbers are not exactly public either.
So before you start worrying about your online privacy ask yourself how much privacy you already have available to the general public. It may surprise you and make online privacy seem a lot less harmful.

Stupid People that use Pawn Shops
Over the last few months we have been watching Hardcore Pawn on TruTv. Mostly we've been watching it because we have a friend that works in a Pawnshop locally.
We have come to the conclusion that our friend is correct - the kind of people that use pawn shops are stupid. Yeah we know that is kind of strong words but we assure you that it isn't nearly as strong as our friend says.
Here are a few simple facts about using a Pawn shop to do business you need to follow:
1. If it was crap before you take it to pawn it it will be crap to them also.
2. If you don't want it because it too old they won't want it because it is too old.
3. You are a guest in their house (business) if you disrespect them they can and will throw your ass out.
4. Yelling, screaming, bitching, moaning, griping about them, their business, their offer, or their prices will only get you ignored or thrown out.
5. Those tickets they give you when you buy, sale or trade something are as valuable as the item you bought, sold or traded. You lose that ticket you screwed.
6. YOU ARE NOT HOT SHIT NOR ARE YOU THE TOUGHEST SOB IN THE STORE. THEY ARE!! They have in store security, city police and video cameras to back their tough asses up.
7. You can be jiving and profiling all you want but the minute you act like a ass they will leave you dangling like the piece of crap you are - broke and stupid.

What if We Could
We the people are Confused have a love - hate relationship with the United States government. We love this country but it is painful to watch as our elected officials - who we are suppose to trust - continually screw over the people of America. Sometimes we wish we could collectively start a Civil Lawsuit against the Federal Government and here are the charges that are most fitting:
1. Perjury - lying to the American people over their handling of Government affairs.
2. Malicious Intent - Degrading of the American values as set forth in the constitution falsely accusing person or groups of people of being the blame.
3. Bribery - Paying for and accepting payments from special interest and Lobbyist to insure governmental support.
4. Fraud - Deceptive practice of lying to the American people for personal or political gain.
5. Domestic Espionage and Stalking - Spying on, invading of persons within the United States without due process. (internet spying by the FBI, data collection of information without consent, etc)
6. Misappropriation of Funds -Pork spending and use of Governmental offices, equipment, and property (land, buildings, aircraft, etc) for personal use and personal financial gain.
7. Embezzlement - Mishandling, misdirecting of funds as otherwise established for said funds (Social Security, Education, Medicare, etc).
I'm not a lawyer and make no attempt at starting any kind of movement or creating problems for any person or persons. Mostly I am an American citizen that is sick and tired of feeling like we're getting screwed over in every area of our lives.
It is my belief the economy is in the state its in due largely to Government mishandling. We the people are confused why it is so hard for our Government to work FOR the people since they are OF the people and elected BY the people.
