…that the economy is so bad off when people have literally tons of money to continue throwing at these presidential candidates. I am certain that if you added it all up just so far in the “primaries” which have been going on for over a year already, it would far exceed the annual budgets of a large majority of the countries of the world. It is all just a matter of priorities and this makes a sad statement about our national priorities, particularly as our infrastructure is becoming perilously old and we can’t get help to the people who still remain homeless all this time after Hurricane Katrina.
…that the music people have not conspired to deprive people of the “property” they have bought and paid for in the form of MP3 files. Having only recently acquired an IPOD I was shocked to learn that you have to double save all your music. You can’t just put it on the IPOD and forget about it. If you don’t have it backed up somewhere you will lose it all. With all the wondrous things they can do there is absolutely no reason why they cannot set up the system to not delete the music from the device until you tell it to. I have heard many sad stories of people inadvertently losing thousands of songs only to have to buy them again. At least in the days of vinyl you paid once and had the song for infinity. Oh, and this little method also increases sales of computer equipment in the form of the hard drives you have to back all this stuff up on. I am not sure I have time for all that.
…that it is not a no-brainer-- again in this time of “advanced” technology-- that the formula for lethal injections in executions could not be changed without getting the US Supreme Court involved. Apparently they stopped using this formula on animals some time ago. Again, this is an expensive way to get the people in charge to use common sense.
