What did the state or local government do to earn the thousands of dollars in “property taxes” they seized from you last year, other than warehouse other people’s children in their mandatory homogeneity camps while whining that they can’t possibly be expected to help bring them all to a state of complex literacy (in one language, not three or four like the Europeans) in a mere 12 years unless we start giving them a lot more than the current $10,000 per child per year?

I’m doing taxes this week end. Another example of how I am enslaved!

Ben:

Hello. Congratulations. I hope you have a fireproof suit, thick skin, and a “tin ear”. From a PR and service pov, this is a disaster.

I requested LinkedInJaspers back a while ago. As I was told, I submitted it by fax. (Not a scanned email; faxed!)

Off the top of my head, I forget if I asked for LinkedInJaspers or Linkedin_Jaspers. It must be without the underscore because I have a Yahoo Group setup for it http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/LINKEDINJASPERS and the domain name http://www.LINKEDINJASPERS.com ready to go.

(I don’t have the dates handy. The form is in my office at work; in the table draw next to my fax machine.)

I’ve emailed in several queries. Was told either automatically or by a person, that some would get back to me. Black hole after that.

I know from LinkedInPowerForum, that there were “problems” at LinkedIn, so I am not crazed. Good thing you all have no competition!

I still want the group, public, with the logo, so users can display it, and I have been holding off announcing it to my group, until LinkedIn got it’s act together.

So, I’m still here in Limbo, waiting, like all the other “lost souls”.

I appreciate your email, and don’t envy you your tasks. I really do. BUT, I have had several other emails saying “I’m so and so, from LinkedIn, and I’m here to help”. Black hole! Never to be heard from again. So I hope you have better success than those others. The fact, that you don’t have any clue as to what my particular problem is, doesn’t exactly fill me with hope.

But, you get the benefit of the doubt on your “honeymoon” in the new job.

So, when will my group be activated, when can I activate it, and how do I “badge” my people?

Good luck,
Fjohn
One ticked Off LinkedIn User

P.S.: My cofounder of the group is a lawyer and I have been holding him off physically from “dropping” paper on LinkedIn. It’s supposed to be a fun hobby. Not a death march.

LIBERTY: “Prisons overflowing with pot smoking black people” is a GREAT line

Overreach, Shmoverreach: A Special Note From The White House
by Jonathan David Morris

***Begin Quote***

“Close the CIA Prisons”: Now there’s a good idea. Here we have special prisons set up in secret places to hold the enemies we catch on the field of war. What would you rather us do, New York Times? Put all those prisoners in American prisons back home? There’s no room for them. Those prisons are overflowing with pot-smoking black people. You can’t fit a round peg through a square hole!

***End Quote***

Best think we can do for and to these pompous asses masquerading as “political leaders” is laugh at them. And, get others to as well.

“Prisons overflowing with pot smoking black people” is a GREAT line.

Because it’s sadly true. The pot smoking part. And the black part. And, there’s a few white people sprinkled in. And, a few non-pot people as well. (Like 80 years old tax protestors.) Everything these days is a “federal offense”. I think the “federal” is pretty offensive. “State” ain’t much better.

Note: The gooferment is the only think that can give you a bad service that you don’t want and make you pay for it. It’s worse than the Mafia.

End the war on drugs. Separate the Gooferment from Medicine, Drugs, and all that stuff.

If I was President, not bloody likely, OK, if I was King, I’d pardon all non-violent drug offenders. I’d end the various “Wars” (i.e., drugs, poverty, Iraq, Iran, illiteracy, teen pregnancy, smoking, did I miss any?).

Yup, under the rule of King Ferd the Last, there’d be some interesting changes. WASHINGTONDC would be restricted to making diktats for the Fifty States, who would be capable of accepting or rejecting. Oh, an federal employees? They’d be dying breed, since there’s be no taxes to keep them in the style they’ve become accustomed to. The USA would protect people from force or fraud. ALL people. That’s it!

Yup, the land of Ferd the Last would be a very happy place unless you were a gooferment leader, an ex-dole recipient, or a Socialist.

Note I said Ferd the Last, because after I empowered the people, there would be no need for, nor any possibility of, another King. George Washington set the standard and lately everyone’s been lacking.

Power to the people. Restricted by the principle of “No initiation of force”. And free of the gooferment!
