They Got Me

I managed to pick up my first no shit trojan yesterday (FYI, I think it was hidden in some Java script within a you tube video and is called "blacole"), everything seized up and then my firewall went pffftt! I managed to ID it and remove it, but I still can't get my firewall back up, nor can I access my e-mail account. I can't get my desktop to uninstall anything either, so to the computer store we go - back in a week I hope. This little netbook allows me to do minimal stuff, but I sure miss that 22" screen and sound system.

At the moment, I'm mostly waiting for the 44 updates to finish. Man, I've got to start taking care of my computer gear a little more frequently one of these days (yeah, that's gonna happen :)).

Officially, it sucks to be me.

    SHUMLIN'S LIST
    Gun dealer in Vermont spies on people taking Rx painkillers.

    Peter Shumlin's warrantless searches without subpoena's,
    which clearly violate the United States Constitution,
    UNDER THE GUISE OF the Vermont
    "PRESCRIPTION DRUG MONITORING PLAN",
    are some of many first steps in
    creating a dictatorship
    the likes of which some past dictators
    in history
    would be proud.

    The Vermont "Prescription Drug Monitoring Plan"
    identifies weak citizens
    whose diseases
    can be added
    to Peter Shumlin's list
    which already includes
    (according to the Burlington Free Press)
    deferring treatment for Autistic people.

    One by one, Peter Shumlin can identify
    which patients
    cost the government too much money,
    and "defer" treatment for them.

    Meanwhile, he will not save taxpayers any money
    because what is saved will be spent in triplicate
    paying police to do surveillance on people with
    the aid of the Vermont Prescription Drug Monitoring Plan
    under the guise of identifying patients
    who allegedly might sell their prescription
    painkillers into the community.

    One investigator, Phil Ciotti, allegedly spent
    8 years working for the Vermont Board of Medical
    Practice surveilling patients and could not find
    one patient in 8 years doing wrong.

    Meanwhile, after that, Phil Ciotti was in the news
    because he allegedly has a license to sell guns
    and kept about 500 guns in his home in Vermont.

    College students who bring their prescriptions from
    out of state are exempt from the Vermont Prescription
    Drug Monitoring Plan.

    Tourists who bring their prescriptions to ski areas
    from out of state are exempt from the Vermont
    Prescription Drug Monitoring Plan.

    We are living under DOUBLE STANDARDS!
