The Welfare State’s Attack on the Family
by Vedran Vuk
Posted on Wednesday, July 12, 2006

***Begin Quote***

The agenda of the state is to break up the family. The more you depend on the state, the more you justify its existence, and the larger it grows. The idea that people can provide things for themselves either individually or through the family frightens the state. It delegitimizes its role. The role of the family is dangerous to its survival.

***End Quote***

The Communists attacked the family unit as part of their strategy to completely control everything. The Socialists do the same for the same objective. Welfare is that Trojan Horse into people’s minds. They don’t see the hidden agenda. Power!

USF: The Bureaucrat’s Dream
Fraud, waste, and no oversight
Posted on 2006-07-11 08:48:54
*** QUOTE ***

We’ve long illuminated the fraud, waste and dysfunction inherent in the FCC’s USF and E-rate systems, which you pay into each month via various bills to help fund rural telecom deployment. Because the system is poorly monitored by the FCC, some allege it’s at best a slush fund for the incumbent telcos.

*** QUOTE ***
And, this is a surprise! Eliminate the FCC; the marketplace will organize itself faster, cheaper, and better.

TECH: “CHOICEMAIL” definitely gets my “don’t bother trying” rating!

Saturday, July 15, 2006

My free trial of  CHOICEMAIL ended after thirty days. Remember it was pitched as “free for one account”. Guess it isn’t. Cause it just stopped working. Then, when you refuse to spend 59$ it picks up it’s marbles and goes home. That is it doesn’t restore your old email settings. AND, it doesn’t allow you to leave email on your email account forever and ever, it deletes it upon receipt. Arghh! Well, from free or beta software, I don’t expect much, or even that it’s housebroken, or even a well mannered guest. From a commercial product trying to convince me to buy, I expect a lot more. On a picky detail note, the product never figured out no matter how many times I told it, that YAHOO GROUPS was OK, not a spammer, and to pass it right along. So, I definitely will return to the trenches fighting spam on my own. I’ll just pray to Great Blue Frog Spirit in the sky for the coming of the Giant Blue Frog to save us all. Maybe that is IPv6!
