Rant For 1-18-11

You can't make this stuff up :)

Item #1-There is now a former Swiss banker that is going to release the financial records of  personal and corporate account holders that he believes may be guilty of tax evasion, to Wikileaks. Are you kidding me? :o

Is this guy insane? If you think messing with the US government is an sticky proposition, wait until you piss off corporations, and angry rich people who are attempting to hide millions!  Wow, talk about having to disappear! These people have no restrictions and enough personal wealth to make your life extremely miserable.

I wonder what motivates this guy? He says he is trying to do what is right, but in this instance why didn't  he do something before he made money from them? I think it's all about the 15 minutes. The Swiss government is preparing to arrest him for theft of confidential docments, but not until after he gives the documents to Wikileaks.

Whether or not you agree with this you have to wonder who is in charge of our personal information. It concerns me that in the institutions we trust , there may be people just waiting to cash in by selling or distributing our personal information. Anyone who has experienced identity theft can tell you what a nightmare this can be.

Item #2- Here is a test of your views. I am not going to comment on this, but it should get you thinking. The state of VA just banned the attached plate after receiving complaints. When I read the article and saw the plate I thought there were a number of ways to look at this. After reading the plate, how do you feel? Thought provoking isn't it? What negative views do the people complaining have, as well as the VA DMV? Do you think the plate should have been banned? Here is the article. http://thestir.cafemom.com/toddler/114641/license_plate_advises_eat_the
