SPIKE's OWN SURVEY 4/27/06

spike q's very own survey:

1. How long have you been here on 369? I dunno.

2. Do you have any 369 buds that were banned that you miss? Yes. Though we still keep in touch in other ways.

3. Do you have other blogs? Yes. Blogspot, msn spaces, and on a couple of my subdomains.

4. Do you have more than two e-mail addys? Yeah. So?

5. Why do you blog? Because it is there.

6. What is your take on internet censorship? Stone the pedophiles. Leave everyone else alone. Parents, do your job. Supervise your kids.

7. Are you a member of the Electronic Frontier Foundation? Why or why not? Yes because I am committed to bloggers' riots.

8. Have you ever bought anything impulsively off of the internet? Yeah, it was a fix-the-pc program called pc something or other. I was sorry later that I wasted my money. The stupids drop malware into your puter and then sell you their crap to supposedly "fix it." The malware causes screens to appear which claim that a lot of stuff needs "repair" on the puter during a "free" trial. Bastards!

9. Have you ever joined a webring? Yes, once. Now I am trying to join others but am having difficulty with the code.

10. Do you have static websites? Yeah, don't shoot me.

11. Are you a hacker? No. I do recognize that hackers really know their stuff when it comes to shortcuts and security vulnerabilities. Ergo I read their books, 2600, and Blacklisted 411.

12. Are you a fan of opensource software and legal downloads? Oh yes. I am a regular visitor at http://www.sourceforge.net and at http://downloads.com .

13. What is the future of the internet? I view the internet as becoming more regulated and favoring the wishes of the big corporations. That makes me sad.

MONTGOMERY COUNTY ny SUPERVISORS DISCRIMINATE 4/27/06

Montgomery County Supervisors turned down a Union proposal to allow domestic partners of county employees to become eligible for health insurance. Odd that most of the reasons cited in the 4/26/06 front page article of The Recorder were related to values held by the Supervisors themselves.

Apparently, couples who share interfinancial responsibility and long-term commitment ought to get married. The "traditional" family is threatened when couples don't tie the knot. Those who don't get married should "pay for their lifestyle."

Because same-gender relationships in the State of New York are extra-legal, Montgomery County continues to discriminate against an entire segment of its' employees. It is a sad day whenever some human beings are denied employment benefits that other human beings take for granted. Once again, prejudice has prevailed.

MENOPAUSE OR PMS 4/21/06

Q: How many women with MENOPAUSE or PMS, does it take to change a light bulb?

A: One! ONLY ONE!!!! And do you know WHY? Because no one else in this house knows HOW to change a light bulb! They don't even know that the bulb is BURNED OUT!! They would sit in the dark for THREE DAYS before they figured it out. And, once they figured it out, they wouldn't be able to find the #&%!* light bulbs despite the fact that they've been in the SAME CABINET for the past 17 YEARS! But if they did, by some miracle of God, actually find them, 2 DAYS LATER, the chair they dragged to stand on to change the STUPID light bulb would STILL BE IN THE SAME SPOT!! AND UNDERNEATH IT WOULD BE THE WRAPPER THE FREAKING LIGHT BULBS CAME IN!!! BECAUSE NO ONE EVER CARRIES OUT THE GARBAGE!!! IT'S A WONDER WE HAVEN'T ALL SUFFOCATED FROM THE PILES OF GARBAGE THAT ARE A FOOT DEEP THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE HOUSE!! IT WOULD TAKE AN ARMY TO CLEAN THIS PLACE! AND DON'T EVEN GET ME STARTED ON WHO CHANGES THE TOILET PAPER ROLL !! .

I'm sorry. What was the question?

thanks to sandi b for sending me this.
