FTC Finally Does Something Good

So this news is a week old, but I'm very excited that the FTC has finally done something that will really make my day better. The FTC has banned pre-recorded sales calls! Instead of wasting time fining people on TV, the FTC has decided to put inflict its power on those horrible companies who send out recorded messages. YAY!

Are You a Terrorist, Come in Through Mexico!

OK, so after some badgering from Little Kenny, I realized that I should really start posting again. So Michael and I flew down to Mexico a couple weeks ago and coming back from there to the US was the easiest thing ever. We didn't have to take off our shoes or jackets (not that we had any); or remove our laptaps (not that we had any); or take out our silly little plastic bag of liquids (we had those). We simply had to toss our stuff on the conveyer belt, which went through quickly with no stopping and walk through the metal detectors. It was great! I felt so free! Then I started thinking about the terrorists. Mr. Bush has programmed me well to give up my individual freedoms. I don't see why I have to disrobe to fly to Orange County on a one hour flight from Phoenix. Are terrorists really flying from Phoenix to Orange County? But yet, if I come in from Mexico to anywhere in the US, I can cruise through without a problem. If we're so concerned about terrorists, why can't we negotiate with Mexico to make their security a bit tighter? I would think they would care since that would help us protect half of its population who happen to live in the US, right?
