Obama on The View

larry — Thu, 29 Jul 2010 17:21:14 +0000

I never thought that I would see the day where I saw President Obama on the television show The View as I work on posting Halloween related items on social media sites.

What an interesting event. Regardless of political views….. hmmm.

Back to work.

YouTube – Viacom Case

I am so pleased that YouTube won the case with Viacom regarding copyright. I do think that YouTube should react to copyright infringement complaints just as any other site in history. However, they should not be singled out because of their volume. The Safe Harbor should apply.

Viacom should embrace new technology and work with everybody and stop worrying about lawsuits.

Facebook Privacy

Starting today, Facebook is rolling out new privacy controls that can be found in your account area. Hopefully this will help the cause for all. I do not think the too many hardcore Facebook users will tighten up their privacy too much. It is good to have the option.

Healthcare Reform

larry — Fri, 19 Mar 2010 17:12:56 +0000

Considering all of what is heard and read in the news, radio and television, it is sad that many Americans base their opinion of heathcare reform on propaganda and not the facts.

Bill Clinton

It was odd that I was wondering today if we would see Obama eating at fast food places as we did Bill Clinton. Then an hour later, I hear that Bill Clinton is in the hospital because of heart issues.

Guess it is time to eat better!

Health Care

It is interesting to me how many people rely on the opinions of those in the media who have an agenda.

I will not post my full feelings and beliefs on the health care problems in the USA right now. Once I start…I probably cannot stop.

I will say that those who think that the health care system does not need to be addressed at all are ignorant to the real world. People that I have known has died because of the problems. There are a lot of people that have to choose whether to pay bills, eat, or purchase their prescriptions. Pre-existing conditions (even little ones) cause insurance companies to refuse to insure some that have just minor issues.

The health care system needs to improve.

Tiger Woods

I guess that I am one of the few that am tired about hearing about Tiger Woods in the news.

There is some crazy other news that seems to be much more important.

If he cheated, then cheaters get what they deserve. If he did not, then he is getting screwed.

Sarah Palin on Oprah

larry — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 05:45:45 +0000

I listen to news while working. Today I heard a lot about Sarah Palin on Oprah.

It will be very interesting to see how things play out. It sure looks like Sarah Palin has the intention of running for President some day. Things that make you say hmmmm. I am not sure what my opinion of that is.

Health Care Reform

It is very interesting to see people make comments about health care when they really do not understand what is going on.

Health care reform is needed. It is messed up. Too many of my friends would be alive today if we had a better health care system. Each instance that I know of was because insurance not approving something that was really necessary.

In many places in the USA, If you take any pain medicine for any reason, that is enough for you to be denied for health care. I am not saying what has been proposed is good or bad, it just has to change.
