I really don't know what the world is coming to these days. It seems as if people are losing faith in their fellow man. So much so, that it is all about looking out for number #1. While we should keep our selves, we should also not do it at the cost of others. It seems people are becoming like electricity and looking for the path of least resistance.
Guess what?! The world is not a simple place to live in. We all have to contribute and make our own way, without stepping on each other. But by the looks of it, stepping on others has become the accepted norm.
It is really a shame.
Everyone is up in arms over the Hot Coffiee code in GTA:SA and L.A. is looking to jump that train. Complete crap! They see it as a simply way to gain public favor and possiblty a little profit as well. Complete crap!

Words to live by...
I think this quote says a lot!
"I don't know the key to success, but the key to failure is trying to please everybody."

Virginia gets the right man...
http://www.roanoke.com/news/roanoke/wb/48157
Here’s a story being buried by the main stream media across America; DNA tests have proven the guilt of a criminal executed in the state of Virginia in 1992. Governor Mark Warner, ordered the tests, to set the record straight, although he and others were likely seeking very different results.
Democrats, Socialists, and anti-death penalty crews had geared up to blast Virginia for putting innocents to death, and make a new challenge that all death row inmates in America are guilty of nothing more than being victim of an unfair and bigoted system. Once proven convincingly, the challenge would have gone on state to state of every conviction conceivable in a full on effort to remove capital punishment from the United States. This might have been a key plank in a Warner presidential run, “the death penalty is unfair, and we cannot live with one single innocent person being wrongly put to death,” or some such nonsense. As the first Governor to check DNA posthumously, this would play big with the Democratic base. I can hear those tens and twenties rolling in. Those in California were positively salivating.
Hold that thought. Virginia’s Criminal Justice system was right, this guy was a devil, and he was so evil he denied his crimes and continued to mislead a nation with total crap published in Time magazine right up till his death. The system has been vindicated and the death penalty proven to be the right way to go. So, of course this was all over the evening news last night, and the Virginia Attorney General was interview on NBCs Today this morning, right? Er no. The silence on this Topic has been deafening. The media is most biased in what it chooses to ignore. Most people don’t even know what they’ve missed.

GM comes to Jesus...
The 5 step plan may work, but will the unions buy in or take this oppertunity to put the screws to GM management. Expect this to get bloody and sooner not later.
Upfront casualties are SAAB and HUMMER, both are targeted for sell off. Makes will also have to be reduced. Look for Pontiac, Oldsmobile, and Buick as Brands that could possibly be elimnated before the end of the year.

Patents vs. Making a Quality Product
Being in the software development industry professionally, I find the current state of patents in the U.S. simply awful. In software development it seems that everyone is out to make a quick buck by strong arming other businesses with laws that were not designed to be a commodity. While this is America and we are all about the mighty dollar, I think that this is simply an out of date system that needs to be revamped based on today's material and intellectual state.
Creating a company that simply takes patents out on everything under the sun, only to stick it to companies that actually try to product progressive and innovative technology, is criminal. I understand the need for patents for some things but there is a line.
Companies would argue that the only way to stay competitive is to prevent their competitors from being able to build the same products as them. To the consumer this causes us to not look at the quality of products but rather the features of products. This was not the intent of patents. I would suggest that companies start making quality products rather than elbowing out specific features from competitors.
There is an article at businesses Online that covers this issue that is a good read. Their quote of TJ puts the whole article in perspective.
A man "has a right to use his knife to cut his meat, a fork to hold it; may a patentee take from him the right to combine their use on the same subject?" -- Thomas Jefferson
