The beginning

Not much to say in the beginning. I'll be posting random thoughts on random things, from computers to politics to religion to whatever.

One thing that's bothering me, though:

How can congress pass bankruptcy reform that does not allow expenses charged to you by identity thieves to be dismissed? Then two days later "congress turns attention to identity theft." Yeah, some attention. Leave your constituents roasting over a slow fire, then pretend to care by talking about the problem you chose to ignore. Show some balls - make the credit card companies tighten the requirements to get a credit card and show corporations that having Swiss cheese security guarding customers data will not be tolerated. Hold them liable for at least a portion of debt incurred due to identity theft made possible by lack-luster security. Let victims of identity theft at least be relieved of a significant (say at least 50%) portion of the debt the thief gifted them with.

Corporations are not part of our governmental system, or at least they're not supposed to be. Don't let them run the country, because what is best for them and what is best for the country is not necessarily the same.

Well, I guess I did have something to say after all.
