No Face and No Space

I briefly had both a "Facebook" and "Myspace" account. I found both sites to be somewhat creepy to tell the truth. Creepy in the same way people who sit down next to me on the train and start talking to me are creepy. Ick! I don't want to actually talk to people unless I know them already. I'm extremely shy actually, though most people don't realize it. Being around people outside of work and home makes me very nervous, especially if I'm supposed to talk. These sites both are oriented towards the sort of chatty people who give me the screaming willies.

I was OK with them at first except I got two "requests to be friend" emails from people on Myspace that I never heard of before, looking at their profiles I could not figure out why they would want to be my friend or even talk to me, we had nothing at all in common.

So I did the logical thing and canceled both accounts. I no longer have a face or a space :-)

If someone reads my blog and wants to comment I'm cool with that, a conversation with someone who at least has a clue as to who I am is a good thing. But someone contacting me from out of the blue void of Myspace was just weird.

NBC anti-life?

I would boycott NBC, if I ever watched it that is. I actually never watch anything on the old line networks, NBC, CBS, ABC, FOX. Everything I watch is on the cable only stations... do they still broadcast over the air? Ah well, this story is about the fact that it seems NBC refused to air an ad put together by some Catholic outfit that features an embryo and all of the hardships it faced in early life ending up with the revelation that they were talking about Obama. Here is the ad , check it out and see how unoffensive it is. Like I said, if I watched them I'd quit now. :-/

Wikileaks and police state censorship

I saw an article today on SF Gate about some nit wit Bush appointed Federal Judge ordering a website I'd never heard of called Wikileaks shut down because they were publishing some bank documents from some corrupt Swiss bank. The amusing thing is that they can't actually do it! Even more amusing is that this just draws attention to the site and makes it that much more visible, yay idiot goons! :-) There are mirror sites all over the world and it's almost impossible for thuggish police state goons to figure out how to close off all of the leaks :-) One mirror site is here: http://wikileaks.be/wiki/Wikileaks The US site they tried to close down is still here: http://88.80.13.160 "Cowardice asks the question, 'Is it safe?' Expediency asks the question, 'Is it politic?' Vanity asks the question, 'Is it popular?' But, conscience asks the question, 'Is it right?' And there comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe,

Viva California! USA out of California Now!

Gene Veith points to a Russian who predicts the breakup the American Empire. Gene is somehow unaware of the dozens of secessionist movements in various states. Granted they are almost all small but still, they exist and this could be a good time for us. Those who know me already understand that I'm a California Nationalist who I doesn't think California should have joined those united States in the first place. Being a part of that empire just costs us money, we get nothing in return. These days we get to be hated by foreigners for being Americans and mocked by Americans for being Californians. Getting us out of the US yesterday would be a day too late as far as I'm concerned.
