Notes 2006 Archives Photographers: I did not think it still went on, but it seems people are
still paying professional photographers big bucks to click a shutter for
them. We saw a case on local news a few days ago. These easy marks from The shame is, they could have had a friend or a family member do it for them and saved a bundle. Here is the truth. They could have bought a digital camera like mine for less than they paid this conman. They could have had a friend click the shutter and sent the recorded files off to be processed. They could have got all of the prints and enlargements they could want. They would still have the camera and the original files when they were done. The idea in photography is to take a lot of shots. You can sort them later. That is really the main difference between an amateur and a professional. The professional just takes a lot of shots and throws out the bad ones. Another difference is the professionals will never give the negatives to their victims. They keep them for future gouging. In this age of digital cameras, no one should pay a so called professional to treat them like beggars. Heck, that’s what mothers and mothers-in-law are for. Holy War: The Muslims have schools in every Arab country teaching
the kids Islam and hatred of the West. Those are the major themes of the
schools. They also teach the three R’s to entice the parents to send
their kids to the schools. This is incidental to their purpose which is to
promote a holy war. King George and other fools keep taking about our allies
in the Five years later, after King George bungled Of course, this crap was all started by Pope Urbane II way
back in 1095. That is when the first crusade was launched. Its alleged intent
was to liberate Automated Soliciting: By now everyone has received a large number of those annoying recorded messages from the telephone thugs. “This is a very important call for, fill in the blank.” It does not matter that the phone is on the do not call registry. So far as I can tell, our government makes no effort whatsoever to follow up on the complaints. If I am elected Governor of Michigan, I will ask the Michigan Legislature to pass a law forbidding automated telephone soliciting and I will enforce it. There will be a $1000.00 fine for the first offense and a $5,000.00 fine with two years in jail for the second offense. The third offense will get the three strikes maximum penalty of life in prison. If people prove themselves to be habitual offenders, they should get no mercy. Religion: All religions except Islam started out as
attempts to understand our spiritual connection. All religions except Islam
have ended up as empty ritual. Islam, on the other hand, was nothing more
than a power grab by a madman preying on a primitive people. Islam ended up
as a tool for creating insanity in men. More Bodies: Could it be? Gas prices came down faster than they went up. Did the oil
cartel in It’s Such Fun: George is for torturing prisoners to get information. Heck, it’s so much fun. That old party pooper McCain is against it, just because he was on the other side of it once. Goodness, what a sissy. Do you suppose George would feel differently if he had been in McCain’s place? Nah! He’s a tough Texan, Isn’t he? Most crazy people are tough. They don’t know any better. Hey, King George! Think about this. Whatever you do to those prisoners, will someday be done to our kids in spades when they are captured. Sooner or later, some of our kids will be captured. It’s inevitable when we send soldiers out that some of them will be captured. Stick with the Geneva Conventions you fool. Stay within international law. For once in your life, try to be decent! Hunker Down: Ford has the answer. Instead of facing the real problem
directly, duck, weave, and hunker down. The real problem is a failure to
produce a unique product. Rather than face that as a management failure,
it’s easier to offer buyouts to everyone. Close plants and cut costs.
Accept a diminished share of the world market. Stay alive by giving in, by
going belly up for This is the way the world ends This is the way the world ends This is the way the world ends Not with a bang but a whimper. T. S. Elliot.
