"If you’re a user, you want to know that you can make a transaction online without your credit card information falling into the wrong hands..." Yes, because all "internet users" are supposed to use the internet for is to consume. Feed the beast. If you are a consumer, you can be controlled, and we don't have to worry about you actually doing anything about the predicament this world is in.

So? Americans spend more on EVERYTHING. That's just the nature of our country - we like to spend gobs of money. We spend more on cars. We spend more on houses. We spend more on videogames and DVDs and computers. That's not a negative result.

It would be considered a negative result when you look at the overall stats on mortality and life expectancy ...it would appear Americans have barely average health statistics among developed nations, despite the fact they spend so many multiples more than everyone else.

Next to being shot at and missed, nothing is really quite as satisfying as an income tax refund. -- F. J. Raymond
