Another Victim
I can claim a victim. A friend of mine at the day office now reads Slashdot daily. She complains she is a news junky. That is hardly the case. When she cannot concentrate on programming for more than a couple of hours without her nerd news fix, then she will know the addiction. It isn't a bad thing. Sometimes being informed is a pain.
James did most of the work. He I believe is the one who got me hooked on Slashdot. Ah, to bring another into the fold. We send each other clips in email even though we know the other has read the article.

Evil
There are people on the net who make fun of the word evil. They don't like to think of the real thing. I'm watching a movie called “Hitler, The Rise of Evil”. Wow. Hitler was a serious evil. I think he truly believed in the things he wrought upon humanity. That just makes him more evil. He was a great public speaker. He was a commanding leader. This movie takes his life as a list of events. it is scary watching him grow up, watching him growing into the man who killed so many people. It is easy to hate him.
I notice Hitler rose to early pour on an employment platform. Many Germans were out of work and he got them jobs ... building a war machine.

I want a knighthood
The Queen is handing out another knighthood. This time to Bill Gates. Some complain the number of celebrities and business people getting these things has made it meaningless. They complain about it on the BBC. Perhaps soon there will be a straight up price on them. Falling, falling, falling price.
