Interesting Stuffs

Some of us watch more TV than others, I for one search for my info online mostly. With You Tube and other video sites, I get only the highlights of the stuff I want to know about and ignore the commercials, hype and Paris Hilton updates. However, sometimes I catch Dateline or 20/20 stuff if I'm surfing channels as a time kill activity. Some of their stories expose fraud, corruption, predators and scams. This is good info to have sometimes. I guess a few months ago they had on 20/20 a story about a kid named Matt Bandy.

Basically, Matt was a normal 16 year old kid who, like most 'kids these days' spent time online. Well, your friend and mine, Yahoo turned Matt in as a child porn up loader. Cops break down the door at the Bandy home in full riot gear.

After a quarter of a million dollars worth of lawyer fees, Matt is not in jail. Turns out his PC was a 'ZOMBIE'. Basically, a hacked controls your computer and uploads whatever they want through it. Be careful online is the main thing since the Internet is a big magic box of stuffs. Sometimes it is hard to know who your friends really are.

Next Commie questions to cheer you up even more:

The 5th point for communism is a credit system controlled by the state.

Do you have any gold or silver? How about cash? Look at the top of your dollars and they say Federal Reserve Note. We are moving away from the paper money even with credit/debit cards.

If you have precious metal score 0
If not 10 Points

The 6th point is state controlled transportation and communications.

Matt Bandy found out who controlled the Internet communications quick. Radio and Telephone require FCC licensing, even the FRS/GMRS radios require a license to use the GMRS frequency legally. Telephones, even cellphones show the names over caller ID, no secret there who is calling. It all comes back to you borrowing their media.

Transportation is an easy one to figure out. Been on a plane lately? Registration, licensing and taxing on your vehicles anyone?

I don't think there is a 0 option on this one.
Score yourself 10 points
