Often times I've desired that worldwide GPS system tracking divices beplaced inside all new (and all future repaired) cell phones worldwide,starting yesterday.

Amen to that. After all, who doesn't want the governments of the world to know exactly where they are every minute of the day

What are you talking about? Woods just got a free pass on a DUI, because of who he is! Any regular Joe driving that night would have been cited/arrested.

Police are more interested in revenue enhancement nowadays than pursuing criminals.

Great story ........

Too many people think that they are entitled to other peoples money !

One person told me that they had the right to come to my house and take what they wanted !?!?!?

As long as governments tell people that they are ENTITLED there will be boneheads trying to take from others !

I don't make much on Disability, but I don't demand what others have - IT IS THEIRS

Sounds like they didn't take the Investigation to the Federal Authorities: These people are still out there with no hope of catching them: So Watch Yourselves: Their next Phone Call may be to You

It's a little suspicious when the address linked to a call notifying someone they won the Maryland Lottery is in Michigan. Or Ohio.

And Richard Drexel, who has worked in security for part of his career, is no fool. As soon as the call came in for his son, also Richard, the elder Drexel called the Maryland Lottery. No, in fact, they don't call you to notify you you've won they have other means.

And they certainly don't ask you to pony up $150 to pay for fees and taxes before you can collect... [ More ]
