"You are quick with the reply - am I on your speed dial? ;) There is a ton I left out of this post and I just had to stop. I started it Sunday morning and couldn't go to sleep until I at least finished it. This is not my typical posting topic but gee, it's another one of those things that drive me nuts. My brain went in so many directions - including the China sweatshops - crummy materials full of lead - consumer protection that kills future home based business - I mean really, it could so easily be a book but my final thoughts led me back to my latest fit of the dumbing down of America so that might just be my next post should I get my facts checked. Thanks for reading and offering your thoughts. I always appreciate and value them!" - Christa C

"Thank you for your comment. It is nice to get views from people who may not agree with a position, but can do so without hate & ignorance. And I say that about both sides of the issue because neither side is ever completely innocent." - Christa C

"I agree, I think many of the Women's Rights issues need to be separated. I think the only real way to tackle any of them is to focus on them as individual issues. There are too many times that issues lose ground and focus because they get lumped in together. "Terry Jones" is just one of those people who only support the Right to Free Speech if it is speech they agree with." - Christa C

"We expect everyone to be as fluent in computers as we are. Here's a secret for you: people who use computers recreationally an hour a day aren't going to be as fluent as those of us who spend 14 hours a day in front of these boxes. For us, computers are an adventure, figuring out how and why they work is a pleasure, they don't want an adventure they just want their email. When they aren't as fluent, we blame them for not knowing (and quite frankly, not wanting to know) everything that we do we look down on them or treat them like children." - Sean Reiser

Because there are those same users who I tell how to use the software to protect them after spending several days fixing their software and holding their hand through training. Next day they turn it off the popup blocker, parental software, and disable the virus protection or even better they tell their teenagers the password to get around it.

Key thought here: "Toprak said he would rather see a program that makes it easier for customers to actually get loans, not just provide extra cash or make interest on loans deductible for those who can get them. Right now, he said, auto loans are just too hard to get to begin with." - Christa C
