Your WEB Site should pay you...
by MikeF＠sbbsonline.com 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

Should you have your business on the WEB? Introducing: The WEB Site that pays YOU! You know the old story. Your ISP promises a free WEB site. You try a personal site and then a great idea comes to you. I can put my business on the WEB! But then the story changes. For commercial use, your ISP wants to charge you a monthly fee. Well, that's OK, you think. But then for a commercial site that represents your business, you want something flashy and professional looking. Don't know how? Never fear - your friendly ISP will be happy to do it for you for a BIG PRICE! Then, every time you want to change something, more money to pay out! People often pay out anywhere from $50 to $thousands to have a WEB site designed for them because they don't know how to do it themselves. They then pay $30 to $100 per month for the ISP to " host" or "maintain" their WEB page. They then get nickled and dimed to death for changes to their own page! We can change all that. We have professional WEB pages that you don't pay a fortune for. They can be made with simple to use, professionally designed templates, that a 6th grader could use! You don't pay a monthly "hosting" fee, you change the messages, graphics, or even the whole look of the site ANYTIME you want, easily, and with no charges. If you want to get fancier, you can, with a direct edit mode. And best of all, this WEB site (with up to 100 pages for YOUR business) PAYS YOU! This WEB site takes the "value added" concept to the internet. Your WEB Site, that promotes YOUR business, is actually a store front to one of the internet's fastest growing virtual malls. When people enter the mall through your storefront and make purchases through their secure payment system, the mall pays YOU a commission. For more information, send E-MAIL to mikef(a)sbbsonline.com with just the word "webinfo" (without the quotes) in the subject line or visit us at: http://www.wimall.com/skyshop Remember, 99% of all Internet Sites on the Web are just that...SITES!. This website is the first to make money for EVERY owner! If this message offends you, please pardon the intrusion - if you would kindly reply to this message with just the word "remove" in the subject line, you will automatically be removed from this database. Thank you for your time...

No consistency involved - many of them would like to kill him. But they've Got Their Man, and he's made it clear that a trial will be difficult, long, expensive, involve lots of firing lawyers and arguing about mental competency, and generally be trouble, and he's offered to plead guilty if they won't kill him. Even though he's a highly intelligent cold-blooded killer, he's also close enough to crazy that the public will have enough sympathy for him that killing him won't be highly popular, especially because his brother wouldn't have turned him in if he'd expected him to be killed. Also, while his killings have been somewhat scary and weird, they haven't generated the kind of public outrage that the OKCity bombing did, with dead babies on the front page of the papers. The defendents there are going to get killed, and the public is going to enjoy it, and the Neilsen Ratings will be high. >Next time, the killer might not be caught because >the person who recognized (yea traffic analysis) >his talktalk might not want them killed as a result. >i.e. in the long run it will save lives.

Fw: Missing the Big Picture

We >must resist running to Big Brother every time we have a problem like a >small school boy running to mommy when he scrapes his knees. > >It is far better to try and fail as a free man than to have never tried at >all living the life of the slave. > >-- Well said William, very well said. Free men must cooperate in their own defeat, refuse to cooperate, refuse to give in, and you will not lose. In the end, tyranny will fall. In the history of our civilizations, all governments have eventually failed, regardless that they may have had noble intent in their beginnings, and they have fallen. So have each succeeding government after them. They fail because when times passes, decades or centuries (doesn't matter) the average citizenry becomes accepting and complacent while said government becomes more and more abusive, excessive, impulsive, and corrupt. Finally, those people who can no longer tolerate this from those who would call themselves their rulers, rise to the occasion and the now festering, malignant government is torn down. Unfortunately, the cycle repeats itself. The U.S. government has lasted this long only due to the freedoms guaranteed by our Constitution, but it still has been following in the tracks as all the previous governments before it. In lasting longer than any other constitutional form of government, it is now so corrupt that at this point only 1 of 2 things can really happen: a 2nd American Revolution, and hopefully a new start and (for the time being) a change for the better, or total Fascism, and the last remaining freedoms people have will be quickly extinguished. I don't want to live in a socialist environment. I don't want somebody telling me how to raise my children, and I don't want someone telling me I'm a criminal because I don't want to let the government read what I have to say. It doesn't "Take a Village" and it doesn't take Big Brother.... it takes freedom, ingenuity, drive, determination, self-worth, cooperation, and dedication to build something better. Scream to your Senators and Representatives, as loud as you can, we all must do what we can, or we will be lost, and as William said, in perpetual, permanent slavery, with no privacy, no rights, and no hope for a self-determined future. To hell with that. Eric J. Tune
