I tend to agree with this fellow. Until VERY recently I had no interest in smoking. In fact I don’t like / can’t stand cigarettes. While I was “happy” about the last smoking ban passed for Ohio (and several other states) it is also unfortunate. I was happy that I could go out without smelling like smoke. However I also understand that smoking is often a very social thing, especially cigars.

I really wish that those we are electing to office could understand that their bills are not doing what they think they are doing. More often than not things like this tend to punish law abiding citizens. Those who cause no trouble and do nothing wrong. The DMCA hasn’t done anything to curb piracy. But if I want to make a back up of a movie I purchased, you know in case my dog chews the DVD… I can’t. I am a criminal.

The government is succeeding in making honest people into criminals and taking choices away from otherwise free and responsible adults.

I hope everybody is enjoying their *change*.

Spammers are getting pretty smart. I have gotten a few comments recently that Akismet caught. They looked like legitimate comments. On one of the forums I admin we catch a lot of spammers that register but never post. http://www.stopforumspam.com/ also shows the authors of the comments being spam for sure. I figure I will comment on them anyway:

Hey, have you seen this news article?
New details about Michael Jackson’s Death Emerge
I was wondering if you were going to blog about this…

Not planning on blogging about it. MJ (in my opinion) was a nut case and has recieved more media attention than he should have. This youtube video sums up my thoughts very well.

Thanks for “reading” my posts! Hopefully you’ll come back and not be picked up as spam.
