Social Security is a good system and was designed to take care of itself. The problem is when the government cannot quit borrowing against it. Yesterday on NPR, it was said that if the government would stop borrowing against it, it would continue to grow and take care of the system without a hiccup. As of right now $10T has been borrowed against it with government IOUs. And if something is not done about the practice of borrowing against it, it will crumble. Makes sense to me. The money should be locked up where no one can get to it.
I'm glad to see that the FCC is finally taking up the responsibility of censoring what little kiddies watch on tv, because it sure as hell isn't the parents anymore. When I turn on the tv and flip through the stations and pause on, say, USA and see a police show about gang violence and how it glorifies street life with kids carrying pistols, it makes me wonder about gun violence among youths. It also makes me wonder when it's going to push the feds to take all the guns from us good guys. I enjoy my freedom in my state to legally carry a firearm for self defense. If no one steps up and does something about the growing problem we have with teen violence, we will all lose that right. If you don't agree with me, you must've already done something to lose that right and don't give a shit about anyone else. If this offends you, you are probably one of the millions of parents who don't give a shit about what your kids watch on tv. Don't think it can happen? Ask a Canadian. Ask a European. I just hope we haven't let it get too far out of hand.

I thought SATA was going to get a large transfer rate boost this year. I don't recall exact numbers, but I remember that it was quite a bump.
I didn't offend you did I?
