I get all kinds of emails that I don't look at that closely. If they are not from certain sources I just kind of skim over them and delete them. I do see some claiming to be from some government agency. Sometimes I get phone calls from "THEM" asking for support, backing, a vote, but the answering machine takes the call and again I don't pay much attention to it.
I don't worry much, I've been on list and flagged by the local cops since the '80s.

i haven't gotten one yet, but i have not checked my separate blog email in a few days. i'm a little confused by the public reaction to this, and the "fishy" site, etc. this should be ringing all kinds of bells with folks, but most don't seem to care. Bush couldn't even have Chaney over for breakfast with out a FOIA request being filed. on the lighter side....i used to get Kerry e-mails. they were titled "Dear Christine". i never knew how they got my e-mail, or if they just sent out mass e-mails to 'Christine' ....whoever she it  |

"Nay, it [this constitution of government] must perish, if there be not that vital spirit in the people, which alone can nourish, sustain, and direct all its movements. It is in vain, that statesmen shall form plans of government, in which the beauty and harmony of a republic shall be embodied in visible order, shall be built up on solid substructions, and adorned by every useful ornament, if the inhabitants suffer the silent power of time to dilapidate its walls, or crumble its massy supporters into dust; if the assaults from without are never resisted, and the rottenness and mining from within are never guarded against. Who can preserve the rights and liberties of the people, when they shall be abandoned by themselves? Who shall keep watch in the temple, when the watchmen sleep at their posts? Who shall call upon the people to redeem their possessions, and revive the republic, when their own hands have deliberately and corruptly surrendered them to the oppressor, and have built the prisons, or dug the graves of their own friends?

I have a tenant that is convinced that he has inherited millions from some lady in Nigeria. He can't pay his rent because he has sent everything he has to get "his money released". You should see all the "official documents" that he has "proving" that he has inherited millions.
Sad, but he won't listen to me.
