Not that there was anything wrong with it. It’s just that Google’s READER displaced it.

RANT: Fees or taxes

Friday, February 16, 2007

In a recent hospital visit, I only got stuck for two bucks for parking.

Arghh, taxes.

It’s a tax because it is an unavoidable fee imposed by an agent of the government!

;-)

Sigh!

OK, follow the logic.

The hospital is in bed with the federal, state, and local governments. Their finances are intimately involved with gooferment at all levels.

Unlike a private business, which only pays extortion money to the gooferment to be left alone.

The hospital is a quasi-government entity, sort of like an NGO.

They charge a parking fee.

The use the power of local gooferment to have no parking zones all around the hospital. With special (tax) stickers for local voters to exempt them. It forces you to park in their garage. Taking advantage of sick people.

So when an agency of the gooferment imposes an unavoidable fee …

… yes, it’s a TAX!

Think about it. Do you know any private business that charges you, or even your guests, to park? Think hotel? Thinks shopping mall?

Class dismissed!

XPfails – luggable – BLOGDESK failed or xp?

Friday, February 16, 2007

Today, I was using blogdesk. I composed a post and sent it to wordpress. BLOGDESK just sat there. I assume trying to connect. Breaking the cycle put the whole box into a stoppage. Reboot. A long cycle because it was applying maintenance. Argh! So, what was the failure? All I know is that BLOGDESK lost my post. Not that is was so valuable. More so that I forgot to save a draft before it published. It should do that. Everything appears to be working now?
