&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&amp;nbsp;A Matter for Thought &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;sees a lot of controversy about what is a real or true religion on YouTube.com and other places. Well, here&#39;s a definition of what true religion is: &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.bing.com/search?q=religion&amp;amp;qs=n&amp;amp;form=QBLH&amp;amp;scope=web&amp;amp;pc=UE11&amp;amp;sp=-1&amp;amp;pq=religion&amp;amp;sc=8-8&amp;amp;sk=&amp;amp;cvid=765F3FADFF1E454395AA79808B49C770&quot;&gt;http://www.bing.com/search?q=religion&amp;amp;qs=n&amp;amp;form=QBLH&amp;amp;scope=web&amp;amp;pc=UE11&amp;amp;sp=-1&amp;amp;pq=religion&amp;amp;sc=8-8&amp;amp;sk=&amp;amp;cvid=765F3FADFF1E454395AA79808B49C770&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In no way, is there any implication in the definition of religion as to whether or not any particular religion is about what is&amp;nbsp; true or should be followed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So think about it. What constitutes a true religion?&lt;/div&gt;

What is respect? Should all people be treated with respect? Should&amp;nbsp;respect be earned only? Should&amp;nbsp;we have to earn respect? These questions are addressed here. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;What Is Respect?&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The following are links that go to definitions of respect:&lt;br /&gt;

So a woman gets raped. So what? Is it violence against a particular woman, against all women or against humanity in general? What happens if a&amp;nbsp;by product of the rape is a baby or babies?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Here&#39;s some links that discuss the issue.&lt;br /&gt;

This is a very important story that tells how children who are the product of rape. Is it really an emotionally mature thing to rape a woman or man? &lt;span style=&quot;background-color: red;&quot;&gt;Think about it!&lt;/span&gt; There is more involved than a man and woman. This particular site includes stories about children who were conceived by the act of rape.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Do people need to be educated about this situation of rape that has saturated the centuries? Should we start an organization to try to prevent this situation from continuing?&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: red;&quot;&gt; Please comment here.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

So for now on &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Webspeak Ezine&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; publishes positive news. &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Webspeak E&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;. also endeavors to make a positive contribution to the world and to help others to likewise. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
One step is to have a page devoted to the praise of young people under the age of twenty-five. There needs to be more good said about the youth of the world.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Is there anyone out there in La La Internet Land that has something to contribute or say about this?&lt;/div&gt;

There seems to be some discussion going on over the Internet as to whether computers, the&amp;nbsp;Internet,&amp;nbsp;blogs and social media are here to stay. Several articles appear on the&amp;nbsp;net announcing the death of all three.&lt;br /&gt;

Here&#39;s some links about &lt;span style=&quot;background-color: #ffe599;&quot;&gt;the death of the Internet&lt;/span&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;

Here&#39;s a very tiny dog that has a heart for the little guy! Lucky kittens to have someone care for them enough to protect them from someone so big! How about we humans? Are we really that caring for one another? This is a matter for thought!&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Well it is time to start adding to this blog again. A lot is new in this world since the last entry. Sorry about not writing more. That&#39;s because of cancer. The author is now in remission. Your prayers are appreciated!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Well the thought for today is about Apple. No not the one you eat but the one that makes computers and Iphones. If the reader looks over at the left hand of the page today there is a section of latest news. Seems Apple is in trouble. That&#39;s what the news says at the time of this posting. However since the news is dynamic or changing periodically I am posting links to the stories about Apple that concerns this post.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;&quot;&gt;This is about Apple being in trouble. How&amp;nbsp;accurate it is debatable.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;&quot;&gt;First Sharp has a dispute with Apple. Seems &quot;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; line-height: 28.000110626220703px;&quot;&gt;Apple owns a big chunk of LCD production at a Sharp facility. Now Sharp would like it back, thank you.&quot; Find more information about this dispute between Sharpat: &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.cnet.com/news/apple-sharp-said-to-spar-over-displays-dont-supply-to-samsung/&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.cnet.com/news/apple-sharp-said-to-spar-over-displays-dont-supply-to-samsung/&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;line-height: 28.00010871887207px;&quot;&gt;http://www.cnet.com/news/apple-sharp-said-to-spar-over-displays-dont-supply-to-samsung/&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;line-height: 28.000110626220703px;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

The title is &quot;Someone is Beating Apple at Its Own Game&quot;. The article says that the biggest competitor against Apple is a foreign company. Here&#39;s the link:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;line-height: 28.000110626220703px;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.usatoday.com/story/money/business/2014/07/12/someone-is-beating-apple-at-its-own-game/12545893/&quot;&gt;http://www.usatoday.com/story/money/business/2014/07/12/someone-is-beating-apple-at-its-own-game/12545893/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Lately in the USA, cable transmitted some rather scary programs on some of its channels. No, not the one about vampires, werewolves or world news and terrorists.&lt;br /&gt;

Included in other news concerning the digital world encountered on the net, &quot;Rigged Elections&quot;. Yup it has finally happened. A computer programmer is asked to create a program that will rig elections. This program cannot be detected. Here is the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nOC5VpShOV0. Kind of makes one wonder if the politicians understand that people may get fed up with all these shenanigans. There are a lot of programmers out there. someone just may catch on even without someone coming forward and confessing. Computer programming is not exactly a secret anymore. Is this something Anonymous should look into? &lt;br /&gt;

Is there a lot of dirt being shoveled into your face by life?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Well here is another viewpoint of such happenings. All these problems could be indicative or a way out of the difficulties of life. They can also be a stairway to greater success.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The video below from You Tube gives an allegory of this philosophy. The title is &quot;Jack The Positive Donkey.&quot; Take a look and let us know what you think. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Have you had a similar experience please comment about it below in the comment section. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Please comment on how bad things happening to you actually made your life better. Also include any thoughts on how positive thought may help.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Comment on what you think about this video. Is it inspirational or not? Does it make you, the reader, think? How does this apply to your life.&lt;br /&gt;

John Hathaway the speaker in the video says that paper money is a political instrument. That is its primary use. Gold is the new money or maybe the old coin of the realm being brought back into popular use. Makes since since originally paper money represented the gold that was at hand. Then most governments in the world went off of the gold standard. Was that a big mistake? Go to the site and see for yourself. Please feel free to comment here. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

The review says that the Pandigital Android has some short comings according to some who have tried it. The review also mentions that these short comings mentioned are probably brought up because customers were expecting the palm to do the same amount of work as a desktop etc., the big boys of the computers.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

For the most part it looks like they are trying to do it peacefully. Yet governments and powerful individuals act like they are afraid of this. Why is that?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Check out history. It is evident that the more the people below the top 1% prosper the more prosperous the 1% is. So let the little man be prosperous. As for the little man. Here is AMFT&#39;s thoughts and words of encouragements for you.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: red;&quot;&gt;Remember this humanity! God and/or nature is on your side. The proof of this statement is that there are so many human beings. No autocrat or act of nature has yet wiped us out. Think about it.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

The timing could not be more perfect. Wonder how they just happened to be there? Was this a planned event? Is this one way to remove Charles and Camilla so William&#39;s ascent to the throne of England goes unimpeded? One can only wonder about this situation. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Students in England are disgruntled. They are upset because the government went back on a promise. The promise is no tuition hikes. Unfortunately for the students of England the tuition hikes are tripled now. Uh oh! Big booboo on the part of parliment. The trust of the people is betrayed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
However, I digress. Just how did Prince Charles and Duchess Camilla just happened into the thick of this mess. Did someone let down the security messures? Was this purposely done? Is the throne worth the threat to one&#39;s life and limb? One can only wonder.&lt;br /&gt;

Why because congress believes that inflation is not raising.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This writer wonders if congressmen ever do their own shopping? Do they go to the filling stations to gas up their cars. Do they go to the grocery stores? Where do they get the idea that the prices are not going up? They are! &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Social Security&amp;nbsp; Medicare &amp;amp; Government Pensions. Information&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; by J. L . Mathews, Dorthy Matthews Berman, Joseph Mathews.&lt;iframe align=&quot;left&quot; frameborder=&quot;0&quot; marginheight=&quot;0&quot; marginwidth=&quot;0&quot; scrolling=&quot;no&quot; src=&quot;http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?t=web029-20&amp;amp;o=1&amp;amp;p=8&amp;amp;l=bpl&amp;amp;asins=0873377206&amp;amp;fc1=000000&amp;amp;IS2=1&amp;amp;lt1=_blank&amp;amp;m=amazon&amp;amp;lc1=0000FF&amp;amp;bc1=000000&amp;amp;bg1=FFFFFF&amp;amp;f=ifr&quot; style=&quot;align: left; height: 245px; padding-right: 10px; padding-top: 5px; width: 131px;&quot;&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&amp;nbsp;Amazon decribes this as a guidebook through the maze of Social Security and Medicare options. At the rate the USA government is going there will be no options. Why? Because there will simply be no Social Security or Medicare.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Many in the government say that Social Security is broken. Well why is there public report of how the Social Security and Medicare funds are done? All the USA citizen hears is that the system is broke. Okay where is the dollar by dollar breakdown? Are there a lot of I.O.U.s in the Social Security pot. Who owes the Social Security fund? Who got into it in the beginning? Is the money ever going to be paid back? Is it illegal to borrow from Social Security?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Reading &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Social Security&amp;nbsp; Medicare &amp;amp; Government Pensions. Information&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; may prove to be most enlightening for those who want to be aware of what is going on with Social Security in the USA. Read it to see if there is any mention of the IOU&#39;s that are supposedly in the Social Security pot.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Dear readers, Do you all have any comments or questions for the Congressmen. Hey how about putting your comments in the comment section here? Why don&#39;t we write Congress and the President of the USA with our questions. I would be glad to send them a registered letter and email with your questions.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So how about it? Got questions? Want answers? Put below in the comment section. Just make them legitiment serious questions please.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What is the projected future of Social Security. Well these two books have some answers.&lt;br /&gt;

There are graphs and explanations gallore. Suggestions about what to do with future Social Security.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There is also the suggestion to require mandatory retirement accounts. &quot;Now how is that different from Social Security?&quot; this blogger asks,&quot;Could it be that it will be a new fund that politicians can manipulate and borrow from. Borrow from with no intention of ever paying back?&quot;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://amatterforthought.blogspot.com/feeds/4296886136876817632/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://amatterforthought.blogspot.com/2010/11/re-no-raise-for-social-security-in-2011.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7663154390248453842/posts/default/4296886136876817632'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7663154390248453842/posts/default/4296886136876817632'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://amatterforthought.blogspot.com/2010/11/re-no-raise-for-social-security-in-2011.html' title='RE; No Raise for USA Social Security in 2011'/><author><name>Anonymous</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10357372257956005266</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7663154390248453842.post-367835658475305562</id><published>2010-10-05T12:15:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-10-05T12:21:09.386-07:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Constitutional party"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Independent Party"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="minimum wage"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="news"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="USA"/><title type='text'>RE: Minimum Wage to Be Eliminated?</title><content type='html'>Take a peak at this video. There is a movement to lower minimum wage in the USA. What kind of affect will this have on the rest of the world? &amp;nbsp;Is the minimum wage actually anti constitutional? How about income tax?&lt;object classid=&quot;clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000&quot; codebase=&quot;http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=10,0,0,0&quot; height=&quot;245&quot; id=&quot;msnbc3ce6e2&quot; width=&quot;420&quot;&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;movie&quot; value=&quot;http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/32545640&quot; /&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;FlashVars&quot; value=&quot;launch=39510610^6560^714680&amp;amp;width=420&amp;amp;height=245&quot; /&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;allowScriptAccess&quot; value=&quot;always&quot; /&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;allowFullScreen&quot; value=&quot;true&quot; /&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;wmode&quot; value=&quot;transparent&quot; /&gt;&lt;embed name=&quot;msnbc3ce6e2&quot; src=&quot;http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/32545640&quot; width=&quot;420&quot; height=&quot;245&quot; FlashVars=&quot;launch=39510610^6560^714680&amp;amp;width=420&amp;amp;height=245&quot; allowscriptaccess=&quot;always&quot; allowFullScreen=&quot;true&quot; wmode=&quot;transparent&quot; type=&quot;application/x-shockwave-flash&quot; pluginspage=&quot;http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash&quot;&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Supposedly there is a class war going on in the USA. This particular party says that the Democrats are trying to push back the idea that is infecting the Tea Party Movement. The idea is that the poor and middle class is not working enough.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By the way, contrary to what this video and some politicians would have you believe there is a built in stair step that ups the age for retirement. People born in the year of this blogger&#39;s age bracket retirement age is sixty-six. It rises up from that on a year by year basis. So if you want your full social security and you are in a certain age bracket you cannot claim it until you are sixty-six.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Dear reader, do you suppose the two prominent parties of the USA, namely the Democrats and the Republicans are in cahoots? Think about it. What prevents the politicians from both sides getting together for a little&amp;nbsp;conniving? Do we need a third strong party or maybe a fourth strong party for the USA? Why is it these other parties such as the Constitutional and the Independents never get any publicity or news on the TV, Net, and other coverage? Is it domination of USA politics by the two parties the one of them? Think about it. All comments are welcome here.&lt;br /&gt;

This is especially true for the women. Here they go to the polls in spite of threat to life and limb. It takes an incredibly brave people to do this.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Those of us who do not live with this threat should be grateful. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To me, it is inconceivable that people would kill someone just because they want to vote. What does this killing prove. That there are bullies in this world? Why not let Afghanistan determine its own future. Why is that such a great problem.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To anyone who is afraid of Afghanistan&#39;s self determination, I have just a few words to say. If you call yourself a true believer then why do you fear? You say you believe in the one true God? Then back it up with your faith. Do this not with the sword but with your faith. Pray that all Afghans act with wisdom and love. Ask your one true God to be in charge. If not this then ask your God to let his will of something better than this.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To all who call themselves Christians, Jews, and Muslims is it such a problem to trust God. Is it such a problem to pray for wisdom and guidance? Is it such a problem to trust God to work things out. Is it such a problem to put violence aside. Is it such a problem to allow others to have the rights that you crave for yourself.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As for me, action speaks louder than words. As for me, violence to convince another that your religious beliefs are right creates nothing but atheists.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In addition, before anyone calls themselves brave remember that these people go to the polls to vote unarmed. They stand up for all people, as far as I am concerned.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Plus, there are people all over the world who are standing up to crime. Any many cases their lives, their families, their very livelihoods are threatened.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Below is a video about the voting in Afghanistan.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

The Afghans are not the only brave people. There are also the Mexicans who are standing up to the drug cartels along the Mexico and USA border. Along side them on the USA side stand the USA citizens. Both side are beleaguered but there are those who are standing up. Sometimes they are murdered. Many times they are law officers, lawyers and just ordinary citizens. But, they stand up. Would you? That is the question. Is this a matter for thought?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Below are videos about what is going on in the country of Mexico. The first is a video of what is going on at the border. I could not embed the second video so I put a link. It is a must see. The last video shows what is happening to the children who live along the border of Mexico and the USA.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So those who think they are great leaders, those who think they have all the answers and those who consider themselves the movers and shakers of the world because they have all the answers, what is your answer to this? Why can&#39;t you stop this? Do you want to stop this?&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Oops! Something just came to the attention of &quot;A Matter for Thought?&quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Is there a world wide movement to shut down the Internet? Well I found a &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NGI8jVF69FY&amp;amp;feature=related&quot;&gt;UTube Link&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt; where some video clips say yes. The first one is a clip of Jay Rockefeller giving his two cents worth. I really cannot decide if he is for or against taking down the Web&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;object height=&quot;385&quot; width=&quot;480&quot;&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;movie&quot; value=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/v/jCkCWxv3kUE?fs=1&amp;amp;hl=en_US&quot;&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;allowFullScreen&quot; value=&quot;true&quot;&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;allowscriptaccess&quot; value=&quot;always&quot;&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/v/jCkCWxv3kUE?fs=1&amp;amp;hl=en_US&quot; type=&quot;application/x-shockwave-flash&quot; allowscriptaccess=&quot;always&quot; allowfullscreen=&quot;true&quot; width=&quot;480&quot; height=&quot;385&quot;&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The announcer in this video talks about Net II. The governments in the world want to shut down the web because it is terrible.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Well God forbid that the general public should know anything. Right?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;object height=&quot;385&quot; width=&quot;640&quot;&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;movie&quot; value=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/v/WX0_5uhu8XI?fs=1&amp;amp;hl=en_US&quot;&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;allowFullScreen&quot; value=&quot;true&quot;&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;allowscriptaccess&quot; value=&quot;always&quot;&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/v/WX0_5uhu8XI?fs=1&amp;amp;hl=en_US&quot; type=&quot;application/x-shockwave-flash&quot; allowscriptaccess=&quot;always&quot; allowfullscreen=&quot;true&quot; width=&quot;640&quot; height=&quot;385&quot;&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Here is more information about what is in store for the Net. Should the world citizens be&amp;nbsp;leery&amp;nbsp;of these people in government. I mean the ones that have decided the average people of the world are just to-o-o-o stupid to wisely decide anything for themselves? World citizenry needs the expert guidance of people in the upper reaches of the economic ladder who never invented anything and never started a company.&lt;br /&gt;

Here&#39;s an idea. Afraid of how the Internet may lose precious data? Put it on &quot;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.wisegeek.com/what-is-a-hard-copy.htm&quot;&gt;hard copy&lt;/a&gt;&quot;. Look up the term: &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.wisegeek.com/what-is-a-hard-copy.htm&quot;&gt;hard copy&lt;/a&gt;. Afraid of losing something do to power outrage and solar outrages not to mention other natural&amp;nbsp;anomalies? Use &quot;hard copy&quot;. Got it? Here are some more sites about hard copy that may of interest to all of you really smart politicians, etc. who are so much more smarter than we &quot;little people&quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Of course some of these articles are written by the&amp;nbsp;&quot;great unwashed.&quot; (Another title for the &quot;little people&quot;)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;http://goodblimey.com/archives/2003/12/06/should-internet-be-controlled/&quot;&gt;http://goodblimey.com/archives/2003/12/06/should-internet-be-controlled/&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;Very necessary reading for those who wish to control the Internet.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.earlham.edu/~pols/ps17971/asia1/lavista.html&quot;&gt;http://www.earlham.edu/~pols/ps17971/asia1/lavista.html&lt;/a&gt;. Discuss how the Internet can help stop governments from making&amp;nbsp;disastrous&amp;nbsp;decisions. This is just one example. The following quote is what has stuck in my mind the most.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;background-color: #fff2cc;&quot;&gt;However, the need of states to remain current in issues such as scientific advancements and commercial developments forces governments of states to acknowledge and accept the internet.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Does the above quote leave room for thought? I think so. How about you Dear Reader?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
From the same article entitled &amp;nbsp;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;&quot;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.earlham.edu/~pols/ps17971/asia1/lavista.html&quot;&gt;Those Who have Knowledge of the Internet Can Not Be Controlled by The Governmen&lt;/a&gt;t&quot;&lt;/span&gt;comes the following:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;background-color: #fff2cc;&quot;&gt;Deedee Halleck does not ignore the fact that societies that have &quot;violently repressive governments&quot; (she gives the examples of Iraq and Libya) are having problems becoming involved in the information technology revolution, and citizens of these areas have difficulty acquiring usage of the internet. However, the need of states to remain current in issues such as scientific advancements and commercial developments forces governments of states to acknowledge and accept the internet. Halleck states that &quot;We have a kind of knowledge market going on which is in a way, impervious to the efforts of the states to control it.&quot; According to this form of thought, in order for a state to progress the goverment must take the risk of placing themselves in a position where they are vulnerable to the occurance of a revolution. With this fact, the fight for human rights using the internet proceeds to develop succesfully in various territories despite governmental beliefs.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;Does this mean that if government officials want their state to progress, become powerful and rich then there is a need for free exchange of information? Think about it! Check it out in the annals of history. When did a society or the world make the greatest advancements. When did the greatest wealth come forth? Read your history a great, noble, fearless, vastly intelligent leaders of the world. &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;The truth shall set you free!&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
As for protecting children, no problem exists here. There is now cloud computing and software that can do that. Plus Dear Reader, a parent has a right to look at a child&#39;s computer. Here is another idea, keep&amp;nbsp;pedophiles&amp;nbsp;and other type of&amp;nbsp;predators&amp;nbsp;away from children. &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;background-color: #fff2cc;&quot;&gt;I do mean for life&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;. This is what psychologists and psychiatrists recommend.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Here are some links that may help, Dear Reader:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.protectkids.com/&quot;&gt;http://www.protectkids.com/&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;This particular site has a great maze. In the maze are a lot of links to click. Click on &quot;Internet Dangers&quot; and you get a wealth of information about the dangers of the Internet for children. Click on the &quot;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.protectkids.com/youthsafety/&quot;&gt;Youth Safety Rules&lt;/a&gt;&quot;. and there are a *pluforia&quot; of suggestions on keeping youth safe on the Internet.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By the way, Dear Reader, these governments that want to protect kids, did it ever occur to them that the Internet unfettered can actually help them *ferret&amp;nbsp;out the dangers. Think About It!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Oh by the way here are some more suggestions for how to protect kids.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Now then to change the subject. How to protect governments from cyber&amp;nbsp;attacks is discussed in the following links:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.net-security.org/secworld.php?id=9556&quot;&gt;http://www.net-security.org/secworld.php?id=9556&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;Discusses a new program for the government of the USA I presume.&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;&quot;&gt;&quot;Perfect Citizen&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;is the name of the program. This is just one idea.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.idsecuritysuite.com/blog/protect-yourself-against-a-cyber-attack&quot;&gt;http://www.idsecuritysuite.com/blog/protect-yourself-against-a-cyber-attack&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;Talks about how the average citizen can protect their home computers from cyber attacks. There might be something of use for governments here. Think about it!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;&quot;&gt;Oh yeah! Here is another thought. &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Control Freaks&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;! Maybe this should be for another entry.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;&quot;&gt;Dear Reader, please feel free to comment. Keep it clean, keep it to the point and keep it wholesome. No violence please. Violent material is *&lt;i&gt;verboten&lt;/i&gt;!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;&quot;&gt;To one and all think. Think about it! If thinking causes a headache take two&amp;nbsp;aspirin&amp;nbsp;and go to bed. If pain continues through the next day then go to doctor. If a doctor is unavailable or&amp;nbsp;affordable&amp;nbsp;then find a big rock. A very big rock. Hit foot, no difference which, with rock. Pain of foot will make pain of head less noticeable. If not then for those who like to complain (like the writer of this blog) then there will be something to really complain about.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;&quot;&gt;With further use of the brain for real critical thinking headaches from thinking should cease. Over time thinking may become enjoyable. Thinking may be a key to prosperity, happiness and peace.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;color: #f1c232; font-family: &#39;Times New Roman&#39;; font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;background-color: white;&quot;&gt;#######################&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

May wisdom grow within you like the garden of Eden. May you be strong, healthy, truly wealthy and wise. Until we meet again on this blog, goodbye.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
