A week or so ago, there was a warning about a severe virus
attack on 64,000 computers. The coverage on CNN was presented
by a person introduced as an “expert.” He stated, “The
FBI knew about the problem for over a year and took steps to
minimize damage and number of computers affected.”
The
expert went on to tell us the FBI provided a block but would
have to take it down at this time. Computers that were
infected with the virus would not be able to go online. Immediately
following that statement he said, “To determine if you
are infected go to www.DCWG.org and you will see a screen that
looks like this, which means you are OK.” At that point
he held up his computer to show us what we would see on our
computers.
It appeared to me the man had not listened to what he said.
If you could not go online, how could you type in a web address?
My
main concern about this event is; how can our government
enter our computers to determine if we have a virus? If
they can do that, what other information can they gather?
Can
you say, “Big Brother?”
Both
candidates for President: Mitt Romney, I guess, and President
Obama, for sure, have made many campaign
promises.
Each has
accused the other of questionable actions. Romney is
declaring the Obama health care plan is no good, it’s a tax. The
known facts are the Supreme Court ruled the “penalty” is
a tax. If that is so, Romney’s proposed plan
(which will cost more) is also a tax.
Obama
is badgering Romney to explain his offshore bank accounts.
He is accused of having more than a dozen
such accounts.
Does anyone think he will give an explanation? He
won’t even
provide more than two year’s tax return. The Supreme
Court decisions, combined with request for financial information
have created a holiday event for most of the major columnists.
I’ve tried to avoid commenting on the political
front since all I know is what is available via the
news media.
I am finding it difficult to decide whom I can support because
each time a candidate appears on TV they seem to reverse what
they had gone on record stating earlier. Has Mr. Romney ever
created jobs? He often speaks of his Bain Corp. position. He
forgets to mention how many millions he made before he caused
the GST Steel Co. to file for bankruptcy. All those employed
at GST lost their jobs. Many additional companies suffered
the same fate. So how were jobs created?
As
I see it, we should ask Obama, Romney and the Republican
Congress to step aside. Let’s have the winner of the
2012 home run derby, the highest-ranking female contestant
on the U.S. Gymnastic Team and the winner of America’s
Got Talent take their place. We will allow the
three to choose running mates of equal stature.
They must
all reveal
their
income status in the U.S. and abroad. We will
create a ballot with three parties (chosen by
the candidates)
and
present
it on Election Day.
Once elected, the winner must agree to appoint a Congress that
swears to work for the betterment of our country. They must
do so without any political affiliation or agenda to work against
the chosen leaders.
