A history for our grandchildren

We - western civilazation now has a mortal enemy every bit as crazy, brutal and motivated as the Nazis.

We will have to choose which way we will comport ourselves - either as Chamberlain or as Churchill.

The future will judge us accordingly

Marketing jackasses

Imagine you walk into a store and before you can look aroung at what's availble to buy, someone stops you and insist you give them some personal information that includes your phone number, address and email address.  Would you bother with this, or would you invite the solicitor to piss off?

This situation has become the norm on the internet.   Not only do most website trying to sell you something insist on collecting such data, many also compel you to watch a commercial of some sort before you can actually get to what you're looking for.

I find this particularly repulsive.   I make a point of boycotting any product associated with such coercion.  I can only hope that enough other like-minded folks will do the same so that perhaps this offensive practice will cease.
