Re: Treasuries...
I am much too poor and too ethnic - 3rd Generation American from Midwestern Chicago -- with three wonderful Italian Grandparents - and too fundamentally well educated to count myself as a Conservative, a Republican, or a John Birch Society Member. However, being 54 years of age, and seeing the disaster that is my America today, in every ...

Missing the point
The main point isn't how much people make, or how that compares to what others in their neighborhoods make, but their feelings of security about whether that income can be counted on in the future. I've traveled quite a lot, and my observation, on several continents and many different lifestyles, is that human beings in general don't mind a ...

Amazing that Americans Have This Discussion
Having studied American civics in grade school and high school, and having my doubts that Bush Cheney or anyone else in our current White House similarly learned about American history, traditions, institutions and law, it continually amazes me that this Bush Cheney Presidency has run riot so egregiously. Congress? Lay down. The Courts? Lay ...

Sexual Hypocrisy, Law Enforcement & the InterNET
Thanks for a very interesting and thoughtful article that addressed current events, came up with new approaches, and put it all together neatly in one, entertaining article. My view on those folks who would employ our law enforcement authorities to charge and convict individual InterNET users, is somewhat different. I see these forceful, legal ...

Re: May I Suggest Reading The Transcript
McCain is a wily coyote politician from arid Arizona, who has spent his long, post-hero career bedding women and making hay in Washington DC politics. Reminds me of George Mitchell and not a few others. Such big egos and such small results. Is George Mitchell married even yet? At least Bill Cohen found someone to settle down with. Not only would ...

Re: Non-starter case
We live in a the Nanny-State. We create laws that make decisions for people ''for their own good.'' We've got helmet laws for people's own good. We've got seatbelt laws for their own good. We've got places that are congratulating themselves for putting in no smoking laws that are so restrictive, that people are using the quitting smoking services ...

peace that Bush doesn't want
You are not getting it, people! Even a few days of peace in Iraq that journalists, American journalists, refused to call peace IS VERY SIGNIFICANT. Do I sound like I am on the side of the administration?I am not. I was watching, so try to follow. For only a week to 12 days for reports of attacks by whomever on Iraqi civilian there was ...

Some decent advice, but outdated analysis
Interesting that this four-year old advice is still mostly valid to me, but the detailed steps are actually outdated due to the default security options in modern operating systems: 1. I find it hard to believe that in 2004 (when the article was originally published) most users did not have Windows XP which comes with a firewall. Anyone who ...
