  At a 50% or greater tax rate. The record companies and Music Stars that had the stupidity to stay in the UK became a virtual gravy train to their government. You notice they knighted Paul McCartney and Elton John but not Mick Jagger.

  Yea ignore popular music as a background any more. Have you noticed the silent malls in America. Rather then be extorted they play nothing.

  Loved your message! But you were right about being read. More than two paragraphs is too much information these days.

  Well remember when the word Hacker meant you were just good at computers. The bad guys were called Crackers. I started out being a hacker then it became a bad thing because the media thought Hacker sounds better than Cracker or maybe they were just white folks nervous about the word Cracker.

  Gotta keep HS informed with lots of useless info so they profile you. Now they want to know on your banking data how much rent or mortgage do you pay. Even though it has nothing to do with my bank account. Those are new rules in January. Now they can profile the poor easily because they just do a search at all banks on how much you pay for your housing and then target the poor people.
  You must be doing something wrong because you don't pay much for lodging.
  When I refused to tell the bank how much I paid they told me HS demands and you can't put in a change of address without it. HS sucks. You hear that Napolitano? You suck!

  The Christian way is simply to ignore the problem and then it doesn't exist. That's why the boys all gather around a magazine or picture of a naked girl like it was the second coming. If you ignore a problem it will become a big deal, if you simply present the information and let the kids decide usually it isn't a big deal at all.
  My son at 10 years old threatened to run away and said I would never hear from him again. So that weekend I told him I wanted to take him to a poster shop and buy some cool posters. I parked a couple of blocks away from the shop and walked him down Haight Street in San Francisco with the runaways and their dogs and their rags and their begging. He never threatened to run away again. I gave him the correct information and he made a decision. Hiding behind your church or your religion just creates a generation of know it all prima donnas that will create more problems than they solve.

  With all the crooked Republicans in office right now. They have to watch their ass. It will never do to let the FBI look at them too closely.

  We all have to pay LG to reproduce any data on recording medium. Wha!!! Isn't this how computers work? LG hasn't been around that long. OK screw LG, who needs them and more crap products like Sony. Maybe they'll sue each other into oblivion. Please!!

  Smackdown or not. Their suit is enough to drive some startups out of business. In that case only the mafia business model will work. Drive me out of business, I drive you out to the back road.
