Kean on Social Security
*** BEGIN QUOTE ***
So, here is the fullest explanation that young Kean has offered on Social Security to date, a rather long-winded yet empty response full of campaign soundbites, a response that manages to sound thoughtful but that lacks any meaningful policy prescriptions.
*** AND ***
Menendez, also turns to the political cudgel, but his response ultimately is pretty straightforward. He opposes privatization and does not believe the system is in crisis
*** END QUOTE ***
To which, I respond:
http://www.hallnj.org/virtualdebate/flynn_response3.jsp
How about, instead of tweedle dum TOM KEAN’s privatization of something not specific, and tweedle dumber ROBERT MENENDEZ’s “what problem? there’s a problem? where?”, perhaps we could consider a libertarian solution?
LEN FLYNN, in the “other condidate’s section”, like sitting in the back of the election bus, (everyone not a D or an R has no chance, and everyone knows they’re just nut jobs anyway), is the Libertarian candidate for Senate. His answer recognizes that Social Security is a Ponzi scheme. He’ll tackle it head on.
It has long been recognized that Social Security is (a) not insurance, but a fraud on the working class; (b) a federal slush fund to hide the true costs; (d) a socialist’s dream that puts everyone on the welfare dole; and (d) a political football to scare voters with.
Chile, guided by a American educated free-market economist, “unwound” their social security system from a government joke into a free market engine of savings and investment. And, at the time, Chile was largely illiterate. That’s doesn’t make them stupid; by “social security” standards, they were a heck of lot smarter than we are.
So, in sum, Flynn offers a real choice to solve social security. End the theft of a lifetime’s work. Allow the poor not to pay a 100% death tax. Stop the wealth transfer from from poor minority men to rich white women! And, make us as smart as the average Chilean — get the gubamint out of the retirement business.
Or, you can flip a coin and pick a big gubamint republicrat or the big government democan. Don’t kid yourself, there’s NO difference between the empty suits.
I’m voting for small government. Every time. No excuses.

HP Printers: The Older, the Better?
***Begin Quote***
Even so, many readers say that HP has fallen from the top of their list of suppliers because of quality issues.
***End Quote***
I agree printers suck. I had an OJ85 that ran forever. When it died, fixing it was prohibitive. I’ve been buying printers and they seem to die very quickly. Dried print heads. Strange failures. Expensive ink refills. It appears that Brother is my new choice. Absent any other info. Buy cheap ’cause you’ll be tossing them soon.

MONEY: Cell phone offer … wrong and scam
Monday, August 14, 2006I received a “long time” customer offer from Verizon. It said that I was paying 80 bucks for my two lines and 400 minutes. For the same money, I could have 700 minutes. So I called. In fact, I am paying 60 bucks. So, if I don’t want to pay more, (and who does?) I could have 500 minutes but have to commit for 2 years more. Arghh, waste of fifteen minutes of my life. Just goes to show, there’s no free lunch. And, marketing lies!

GUNS: Criminal brings a bb gun, but picks on the wrong citizen!
Monday, August 14, 2006Man denies gun charge after killing attacker
Michael Zeigler Staff writer
***Begin Quote***
(August 10, 2006) — When Matthew L. McDonald tried to rob Stuart D. Miles at gunpoint, Miles responded by shooting and killing McDonald with a .38-caliber revolver.
Now Miles is in trouble for illegally possessing the gun he used in self-defense.

One has to wonder where they find such prosecutors. Didn’t they cover the Second Amendment in Law School? Clearly any law that abridges the right to defend oneself is, prima facie, unconstitutional. The old expression “better judged by 12, than carried by 6” applies here. Intelligent Designer help us if the juries ever run out of common sense.
Here’s a clear example of “concealed carry” benefiting everyone. One less criminal. And, don’t think the other criminals aren’t paying attention! Watch them start to prey on women, whom they perceive will give them less of a fight. Maybe Paxton Quigley can stroll, or troll, their neighborhood.
RKBA is for the control of the two-legged, and four-legged, varmints out there.

#1: Accidentally deleting the VP’s files without having a backup.
***End Quote***
I wouldn’t feel bad. There’s a reason why they call it “personal” computing. And, in an enterprise, any exec worht their salt doesn’t depend on centralized IT for recovery. I once had a low tech boss who printed everything, took it home, where his wife scanned it in to their home computer. Depend upon others at your own peril! If there’s a company policy against it, figure out a way to do it within policy!

# You can’t find the Windows XP CD
# You can find the Office 2003 CD, but … the registration key has vanished …
# You purchased some software online and the downloaded file just got hosed along with the now-deceased hard drive. Of course, you don’t remember what user id you used for registration and the credit card used for the purchase was cancelled last year.
# You use the 1999 version of some software. … The 2006 version … can’t read the version 1999 data files.
# Tech support asked you to make changes to the registry … you can’t remember what you did.
# You can’t remember the name of that little East-European program you use to take notes

He left out the crap that comes with the system that you got with the system for free but there’s no way to reinstall it or register it or reauthenticate to it or reactivate it. And, it’s was registered using an now defunct email account for an isp that was acquired and spun out six times. Arghhh!
My list would go:
- Window’s
- Office
- other MSFT products
- free stuff that came on the hard disk
- rud that your isp gave you (note: the free mcafee is probably why i’m in this mess!)
- stuff you did
- stuff you downloaded
- stuff you bought with no media
- stuff you bought, media & keys & stuff gone
- settings inside programs that won’t divulge what you did or allow you to export your own data
- time spent in recovery
- all your data
- all your methods and procedures
And this is a productivity enhancer?

Mailbag: Communications in the healthcare industry
Readers weigh in with their views on the healthcare’s slow adoption of IT
Messaging Newsletter By Michael Osterman, Network World, 08/10/06
***Begin Quote***
My recent article offering one potential explanation about why the healthcare industry is slow to adopt the use of e-mail and other communications technology prompted a number of readers to offer their comments – here is what some of the readers said:
*** Other’s Deleted ***
* “I blame the technology industry primarily [for the slow pace of adopting communications technology]. No one has a good easy public key encryption system. I look for a ‘solution’ with identification, authentication, authorization, accountability, confidentiality, non-repudiation, continuous protection, and recovery across the problem spaces of users, systems, applications, databases and networks. The technology industry has known the problem space for at least four decades. I remember being lectured about it when personal computers were first put into use! This is all our fault. I could go on for hours. PKI and GSSAPI are/were out there. Encryption engines abound. Yet, I can’t sit down and e-mail, fax, call, or IM my doctor. AND, the doc can’t communicate with me.”
Thank you to everyone who sent me their feedback on the article.
