Creepy Crawlies

A poem is a cryptic array And could be the terrorist play The web is complex But will never perplex The mighty and proud NSA Author's note: It is not just phone and email traffic that is monitored. By logic and since any and all websites can be used as code, I have to surmise that the NSA is reading all web traffic as well. Nothing is private from the prying eyes of the web crawlers. The robots out there scanning us and checking on what we are doing may inflate the total of the views of our work.

Sounds like a funny story. Or maybe not. People like exes and people in positions of authority do strange things at times. There is no shortage of OCD (obsessive compulsive disorder) in our land.

I still think they have the skills of the keystone cops. haha. Like doctors with all their fancy equipment but can't even figure out a simple diagnosis on their own. Good one. and about your beer suggestions. Sadly nobody in my family drinks beer. So I guess that is one remedy I can't suggest to them. haha.

I am afraid it is all getting out of control. The only true safety we can have is a world based on fairness and opportunity for everyone. The wealth gap in the world between rich and poor is the ultimate cause for unrest and must be addressed. The rest is window dressing.
