  • That’s what I thought until I actually listened to him. He doesn’t have an issue with vaccines in general. He has issues with the way they are developed and the way many of them are pushed through with more regard to profit rather than effectiveness and safety.

    He is a little more conspiratorial than I am, but his father and uncle were murdered, and quite possibly by the CIA, so that will definitely send a person down some scary rabbit holes.




  • It depends on how self centered you are. It’s like that song “He Ain’t Heavy, He’s My Brother” by The Hollies. It applies to children too.

    The road is long With many a winding turn That leads us to who knows where? Who knows where? But I’m strong Strong enough to carry him He ain’t heavy, he’s my brother

    So on we go His welfare is my concern No burden is he to bear We’ll get there For I know He would not encumber me He ain’t heavy, he’s my brother If I’m laden at all I’m laden with sadness That everyone’s heart Isn’t filled with the gladness Of love for one another

    It’s a long, long road From which there is no return While we’re on the way to there Why not share? And the load Doesn’t weigh me down at all He ain’t heavy, he’s my brother





  • I bought a brand new desktop with Vista preinstalled. I had a 3 year old scanner that wouldn’t work with it. That seemed reasonable. My 2 month old, $500 printer wouldn’t work with it either. None of my Games would work with it. Most of the software I had wouldn’t work with it. I had to buy a new printer, scanner, and software which was very expensive. I just tossed my games, which I regret because there are emulators that can run them now.

    It also had major issues, and would crash a lot. Most of the new “features” didn’t actually work. I had it less than a year before I switched to Linux.

    My son is into retro computing. He tells me that eventual Vista updates made it much more stable and usable, but I didn’t have it long enough to get those updates.

    That pretty much ended my relationship with Windows. XP had me thinking that maybe Microsoft wasn’t that bad, but Vista left me with such a bad taste in my mouth that I could never buy another Windows machine.
