Giving a finger to socialized medicine

Giving a finger to socialized medicine

So it seems that the discussion of medical care and national coverage has become so contentious that a physical fight broke out resulting in one person biting the finger off of another individual. Bill Rice was probably not acting as a model citizen but I doubt if he deserved to lose a finger!

This sounds like a replay of a bad Michael Tyson fight!

iraq_vote_purple_finger When we see images of the two most recent democracies of the world (Afghanistan and Iraq) we often see the image of a purple finger identifying a recent voter. Now in the United States we will be showing the lack of a finger to depict our political process.

Why can’t we just have a civil discussion of the issues and concerns? Is violence really necessary?

 

 

 

 

Goodbye Roxio

Goodbye Roxio

I am giving up on Roxio Media Creator. It is supposed to be an easy program but it is anything but easy.

It starts out with a confusing array of software modules that were obviously written by different teams and then hacked together. This would be okay since each different module needed to accomplish a specific goal but that wasn’t the case. Some of the modules duplicated functionality but didn’t duplicate the interface or the workflow.

I could live with all that if the software worked reliably. I have never had to do so many registry tweaks and compatibility changes for a product under $100 in my life.

Time to find a new video editor!
