So it has come to my attention that getting on to someone's website is a lot easier than getting off of their website.Whenever you Whenever you log on to someone's website to see what they may have to offer, whether it's for information or possibly to sell you something. you create for yourself. A kind of never-ending spiral which is difficult for you to exclude yourself from. For example, perhaps you'd like to start making cheese. Well, the first thing you would do is look up. Cheese products. the next thing that happens is that for some odd reason the people who manufacture cheese products. Also have commercial ties with people who sell Tennis shoes or ties, Taj or perfume. it makes absolutely no sense. so the danger is that once you sign on to one website you end up being automatically a member of a multitude of other unrelated websites. . now you start getting information and emails from hordes of other vendors. Trying to sell you Tennis shoes, perfume and anything in everything. Unrelated to cheese. so when you finally catch on to this. You start to try to cancel or quote unsubscribe yourself. From all of these unwanted vendors and. in today's electronic world. We are told that all of the devices we have are labor saving. . I take exception to that. I feel I spend more time trying to get out of things. Then I did trying to get into things. I find that. I found that when I try to unsubscribe to these various and sundry website. Not only do they put the font so small that you required to get a magnifying glass to try to read. Where the unsubscribed button happens to be. also, the fault is in some form of Gray span. Or inc that is so washed stopped. It is virtually impossible tobreed. You would think if they were serious that they would make the unsubscribed button readily visible as well as a different color or at least put it in bold. once you hpresley, unsubscribe button. Once you have pressed the unsubscribed button and think that you have escaped. Your mission has only started. now you get emails from the originating group that says. Are you sure you would really like to unsubscribe? To which you reply? Yes, I do want to unsubscribe. . and then you start getting inundated with emails and say. Are you really sure you wish to unsubscribe. and then another series of emails? Which say we're giving you a second chance to not unsubscribe. then you get the third chance. To not unsubscribe but to remain a valid and honored subscriber. All of this effort takes app a lot of my time and a lot of my brain power. Which at this point in my life is much needed for everything that is normal, such as remembering to flush the toilet. Pandora, where I left my phone.

One for all and all for me

A Nation of Fools by Peary Perry

One thing good about writing a column about politics is the fact that you can never run out of things to talk about. If you go back in recorded history, no matter how far, you can find the same issues in those days as we face today. Corruption, deceit, incompetence were as prevalent thousands of years ago as well as today.

Years ago I owned a security company and employed several hundred men and women to secure banks, industrial sites etc. The State of Texas passed a law requiring each employee to pass a security test if they were carrying a firearm. We sent all of the applications into the appropriate office and dealt with the problems as they came in. One of our employees, who had been with us for several years, had been convicted of stealing some meat from a grocery in Michigan. When interviewed he told us (and was verified on the police report) that he had been caught when he was taking the meat for his family.

Since the man was and had been a good and reliable employee we took his case to the agency that regulated our industry and tried to obtain permission to keep him employed.

They refused.

I brought up the point that no where on the state approved application does it make any mention or require the applicant to prove they were a United States citizen and were in this country legally. They told me that this question could not be asked and that they did not require anyone to be a legal citizen in order to comply with the regulations. Long story short the man was let go. What he did to put himself in this situation was …in one word…illegal.

Now the point of this story is that in today’s news we have a government sponsored program to provide GPS information to persons coming across the border into this country. This information is designed to give the so-called… ‘Undocumented worker’ directions to safe areas as well as food, water and shelter. Let’s see, isn’t crossing the border into this country without the proper paperwork, clearances or documentation ….illegal? Is there one form of illegal not as bad as some other forms of illegal? Can the government legitimately support turning a blind eye to one crime and not others? It certainly seems that they can.

It seems to me that there is a constitutionality issue to this matter. If someone is in prison for violating a crime and the government who sent him to prison is funding a group engaged in a criminal activity …I think the guy in prison might think this kind of a deal was unfair. I know I would.

It seems we have people in this country who believe it is not only proper but financially rewarding to flout the law and get away with their actions. There is hardly a day goes by that we don’t read of someone receiving a ‘pass’ for their actions which were in violation of a law. How we have come this far in such a short period of time is an amazement to me. I am just hoping and praying we have no passed the ‘fail safe’ point of no return and can reorient ourselves and our political compass to point back in the direction of decency as well as fair play.

For all, not just some.
