In the London Guardian newspaper is something you might want to be aware of concerning privacy.
IPhone keeps record of everywhere you go:
http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/2011/apr/20/iphone-tracking-prompts-privacy-fears
Please read the entire article.
I am not sure WHY Apple has done this, but it certainly is a dangerous feature since nearly anyone can access your whereabouts- and not just where you are at the moment. According to the article, this locational information can track every place you've been or will go for up to a year. Is this REALLY something you'd want others to access?
It is not just the IPhone, but Apple computers, IPad, etc. and who knows how many other companies will want to do the same? The biggest issue, besides the obvious one of privacy, is that they do NOT have an 'opt-out' option available.
I'm not sure about you, but one must surely ask if the convenience of a cell phone is worth the invasion of your privacy.

Are YOU willing to step up to the plate?
There are numerous problems involved with anyone willing to run for Presidential office. One is that their life is no longer their own. Every single word they utter, every association they have, every single thing in their past will be dug through, twisted, and made public for all the world to see. It would be worse than living in a glass house because not only will they live under the microscope, every person they know or have ever had any interaction with, and every relative would be as well.
I doubt that there are too many people who would wish this type of constant invasion going on during their campaign, whether or not they won the election. And it goes on long after the election. In the case of someone who actually won, it goes on all during their tenure, and would be on-going for years after their term was ended, even if they never held another political office.
Other problems include finding the time to 'advertise' their desire for office, finding the funding to allow for that time- one has to support themselves (and possibly their family) in the interim, being able to articulate clearly what their goals are, and finding people who share common ideas and will vote for them.
Even though, for example, I might have some ideas on how to turn things around, and have the ability to listen to what people need and want, there is fierce opposition amongst the big business conglomerates who want to 'stay in charge' of puppeteering our elected officials. They own the banks, they have the ability to actively bring about undesirable questions as to one's integrity, and they can 'make or break' anyone.
The corruption that goes on is not just within our borders. It extends to all countries. These powerful few have been playing chess with the world a very long time, and will avoid, at any cost, being put in a losing position.
How many common-sense people are willing to tackle that sort of opposition? It could cost a person very dearly, possibly including their very life, to confront or oppose such power.
Yet, we desperately need someone to brave that opposition, and be willing to make those sacrifices. We need an honest, ethical person who is willing to unfailingly uphold our founding documents, and do what is in the best interest of the sovereigns of this nation.
Many today are disenchanted with the offerings of candidates presented thus far. We must actively seek out a person of integrity who understands the problems of the common man as well as the workings of the many aspects of governing- the economy, the foreign interactions, and many other factors. This person must remain level headed and be able to objectively listen to all sides- usually in a short amount of time- and come to a fair decision that best suits the country's interest. They must not let their own personal preferences bias their opinions, but rather listen to their countrymen and countrywomen on all matters.
They must be strong enough to withstand the constant assault on their character, their past, their words, and their intentions.
They must be educated well enough to understand the complexity of law, and of human character. And they must possess a huge amount of common sense, compassion and understanding when dealing with all the intricacies presented to them.
According to our Constitution:
Article. II. - The Executive Branch
Section 1 - The President
The executive Power shall be vested in a President of the United States of America. He
shall hold his Office during the Term of four Years, and, together with the Vice-President
chosen for the same Term, be elected, as follows:
Each State shall appoint, in such Manner as the Legislature thereof may direct, a Number
of Electors, equal to the whole Number of Senators and Representatives to which the
State may be entitled in the Congress: but no Senator or Representative, or Person
holding an Office of Trust or Profit under the United States, shall be appointed an
Elector.
(The Electors shall meet in their respective States, and vote by Ballot for two persons, of
whom one at least shall not lie an Inhabitant of the same State with themselves. And they
shall make a List of all the Persons voted for, and of the Number of Votes for each; which
List they shall sign and certify, and transmit sealed to the Seat of the Government of the
United States, directed to the President of the Senate. The President of the Senate shall,
in the Presence of the Senate and House of Representatives, open all the Certificates, and
the Votes shall then be counted. The Person having the greatest Number of Votes shall be
the President, if such Number be a Majority of the whole Number of Electors appointed;
and if there be more than one who have such Majority, and have an equal Number of
Votes, then the House of Representatives shall immediately chuse by Ballot one of them
for President; and if no Person have a Majority, then from the five highest on the List the
said House shall in like Manner chuse the President. But in chusing the President, the
Votes shall be taken by States, the Representation from each State having one Vote; a
quorum for this Purpose shall consist of a Member or Members from two-thirds of the
States, and a Majority of all the States shall be necessary to a Choice. In every Case,
after the Choice of the President, the Person having the greatest Number of Votes of the
Electors shall be the Vice President. But if there should remain two or more who have
equal Votes, the Senate shall chuse from them by Ballot the Vice-President.) (This clause
in parentheses was superseded by the 12th Amendment.)
The Congress may determine the Time of chusing the Electors, and the Day on which
they shall give their Votes; which Day shall be the same throughout the United States.
No person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of
the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall
any Person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty-five
Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States.
(In Case of the Removal of the President from Office, or of his Death, Resignation, or
Inability to discharge the Powers and Duties of the said Office, the same shall devolve on
the Vice President, and the Congress may by Law provide for the Case of Removal,
Death, Resignation or Inability, both of the President and Vice President, declaring what
Officer shall then act as President, and such Officer shall act accordingly, until the
Disability be removed, or a President shall be elected.) (This clause in parentheses has
been modified by the 20th and 25th Amendments.)
The President shall, at stated Times, receive for his Services, a Compensation, which
shall neither be increased nor diminished during the Period for which he shall have been
elected, and he shall not receive within that Period any other Emolument from the United
States, or any of them.
Before he enter on the Execution of his Office, he shall take the following Oath or
Affirmation:
"I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of
the United States, and will to the best of my Ability, preserve, protect and defend the
Constitution of the United States."
Section 2 - Civilian Power over Military, Cabinet, Pardon Power, Appointments
The President shall be Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States,
and of the Militia of the several States, when called into the actual Service of the United
States; he may require the Opinion, in writing, of the principal Officer in each of the
executive Departments, upon any subject relating to the Duties of their respective
Offices, and he shall have Power to Grant Reprieves and Pardons for Offenses against the
United States, except in Cases of Impeachment.
He shall have Power, by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, to make
Treaties, provided two thirds of the Senators present concur; and he shall nominate, and
by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, shall appoint Ambassadors, other
public Ministers and Consuls, Judges of the supreme Court, and all other Officers of the
United States, whose Appointments are not herein otherwise provided for, and which
shall be established by Law: but the Congress may by Law vest the Appointment of such
inferior Officers, as they think proper, in the President alone, in the Courts of Law, or in
the Heads of Departments.
The President shall have Power to fill up all Vacancies that may happen during the
Recess of the Senate, by granting Commissions which shall expire at the End of their
next Session.
Section 3 - State of the Union, Convening Congress
He shall from time to time give to the Congress Information of the State of the Union,
and recommend to their Consideration such Measures as he shall judge necessary and
expedient; he may, on extraordinary Occasions, convene both Houses, or either of them,
and in Case of Disagreement between them, with Respect to the Time of Adjournment,
he may adjourn them to such Time as he shall think proper; he shall receive Ambassadors
and other public Ministers; he shall take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed, and
shall Commission all the Officers of the United States.
Section 4 - Disqualification
The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed
from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high
Crimes and Misdemeanors.
Now, who do YOU know that can be considered for President in the upcoming election?
We MUST find the appropriate person, who is willing to withstand the constant barrage of intrusion into their life, and who has the knowledge and skill to get our country back on a good, solid standing. They MUST defend and protect our Constitution, and be accountable to the sovereigns rather than selling out to special interests, big business, and other influential groups that would have us destroyed. This country represents all the world's common man's hope. This country MUST remain free.
Clearly, it is our duty to find someone fit, rather than just another 'politician' who is trained to say one thing and do another. It is rather obvious that the sovereigns of this nation are tired of the "same 'ol, same 'ol" when it comes to our 'representatives'. We are tired of seeing them represent their own best interest instead of ours.
LET THE SEARCH BEGIN!!! And let us support our choice whole-heartedly, so this person has the ability to take on the dragons that would rather destroy them than have their comfortable game dissolved.
Let us begin in earnest to find this person, and vote for them, so we can get back to the business of being a free nation.
I doubt that there are too many people who would wish this type of constant invasion going on during their campaign, whether or not they won the election. And it goes on long after the election.

Time to CELEBRATE!!
Today is Paul Revere's Day! So get out there and celebrate his famous ride that allowed this country to turn the tide, and become a free nation!!
WARNING!!!
The following was sent to me, and it is a good idea to let others know:
Not only 911, but be mindful of 112 also. READ ON!
A MESSAGE FROM THE OFFICE OF ATTORNEY GENERAL
STATE OF MISSISSIPPI , JACKSON , MS ...
WARNING #1:
SITUATION...
While driving on a rural end of the roadway on Thursday morning, I saw an infant car seat on the side of the road with a blanket draped over it. For whatever reason, I did not stop, even though I had all kinds of thoughts running through my head. But when I got to my destination, I called the Canton PD and they were going to check it out. But, this is what the Police advised even before they went out there to check....
"There are several things to be aware of ... gangs and thieves are now plotting different ways to get a person (mostly women) to stop their vehicle and get out of the car.
"There is a gang initiation reported by the local Police Department where gangs are placing a car seat by the road...with a fake baby in it...waiting for a woman, of course, to stop and check on the abandoned baby.
"Note that the location of this car seat is usually beside a wooded or grassy (field) area and the person -- woman -- will be dragged into the woods, beaten and raped, and usually left for dead. If it's a man, they're usually beaten and robbed and maybe left for dead, too.
DO NOT STOP FOR ANY REASON!!! DIAL 9-1-1 AND REPORT WHAT YOU SAW, BUT DON 'T EVEN SLOW DOWN.
"IF YOU ARE DRIVING AT NIGHT AND EGGS ARE THROWN AT YOUR WINDSHIELD, DO NOT STOP TO CHECK THE CAR, DO NOT OPERATE THE WIPER AND DO NOT SPRAY ANY WATER BECAUSE EGGS MIXED WITH WATER BECOME MILKY AND BLOCK YOUR VISION UP TO 92.5%, AND YOU ARE THEN FORCED TO STOP BESIDE THE ROAD AND BECOME A VICTIM OF THESE CRIMINALS.
THIS IS A NEW TECHNIQUE USED BY GANGS, SO PLEASE INFORM YOUR FRIENDS, CO-WORKERS AND RELATIVES.
THESE ARE DESPERATE TIMES AND THESE ARE UNSAVORY INDIVIDUALS WHO WILL
TAKE DESPERATE MEASURES TO GET WHAT THEY WANT."
Please talk to your loved ones about this. This is a new tactic used. Please be safe.
Get started NOW -- SEND THIS MESSAGE TO ALL YOUR FRIENDS, CO-WORKERS AND LOVED ONES ADVISING THEM TO BE CAREFUL AND AWARE OF EVERYTHING AROUND THEM SO AS NOT TO BECOME A VICTIM.
WARNING #2:
Some knew about the red light on cars, but not the 112. It was about 1:00 p.m. in the afternoon, and Lauren was driving to visit a friend. An UNMARKED police car pulled up behind her and put his lights on. Lauren's parents have always told her never to pull over for an unmarked car on the side of the road, but rather to wait until they get to a gas station, etc.
Lauren had actually listened to her parents advice, and promptly called 112 on her cell phone to tell the police dispatcher that she would not pull over right away. She proceeded to tell the dispatcher that there was an unmarked police car with a flashing red light on his rooftop behind her. The dispatcher checked to see if there were police cars where she was and there weren't, and he told her to keep driving, remain calm and that he had back up already on the way.
Ten minutes later 4 cop cars surrounded her and the unmarked car behind her. One policeman went to her side and the others surrounded the car behind. They pulled the guy from the car and tackled him to the ground. The man was a convicted rapist and wanted for other crimes.
I never knew about the112 Cell Phone feature, but especially for a woman alone in a car, you should not pull over for an unmarked car. Apparently police have to respect your right to keep going to a safe place.
*Speaking to a service representative at Bell Mobility confirmed that 112 is a direct link to State trooper info. So, now it's your turn to let your friends know about 112.
You may want to send this to every woman (and man) you know; as it may save a life.

It is PAST TIME TO BURY THE BEASTS!!!
WHAT IS TAKING SO LONG?? BURY the Nuke Plants in Japan NOW!!!
It is LONG PAST time that we take things in hand and demand that ALL the nunclear plants be taken apart and BURIED, and all who are proponents of this despicable use of resources be trained to do something else.
The danger of nuclear fallout, waste, and every other component of this indutry is NOT in tune with what is harmonious and healthy for anything or anyone on the planet.
How many 'incidents' do the inhabitants of this world have to endure before the proponents see that it is NOT a good thing? It has never been a good thing, yet they continued for years with their lies, tooting the safety of this monsterous industry.
These proponents have had NO regard for the ill effects of this dangerous source of power, no regard for the true costs to everything and everyone on this planet and in our universe and galaxy. They apparently do not comprehend that every single action, every single deed, every single word and thought has permanent repercussions...and those repercussions are like a drop of water onto a infinite pond. The ripple effect...it goes on and on and on, indefinitely. Somehow, they do not see this, do not understand the real effect they are having on everything in existence.
If we cannot make them see, we must take away their toys- because they are hurting everything. We must show them how to live in harmony.
They are not providing a service to anyone or anything. 20 to 30 years of electricity is NO bargain when we have poisons forever from it! They are playing with dangerous and deadly substances that need never be played with, especially by those with so little comprehension of what they are actually doing.
It is time to take the control out of their hands. It is time to shut down everything remotely connected to nuclear power.
If these people who are proponents of this dangerous and deadly power refuse to shut these plants down and take them apart, and bury the nuclear mess they've created, then WE MUST.
Enough is enough.
