Sweet dreams are made of these.
Who am I to disagree?
Travel the world and the seven seas.
Everybody's looking for something.

Some of them want to use you.
Some of them want to get used by you.
Some of them want to abuse you.
Some of them want to be abused.

Don't need the chip....there is already something better out there.

Cell phones have GPS tracking in them and criminals are being tracked thousands of times every year!

Do you really think the Times Square Bomber almost got away? That's what all the news media reported and I'm sure the NSA just loves it! I'm sure they want the terrorists to think we are a bunch of buffoons. laugh

I think the Fed Security Agencies have the ability to listen in on any cell phone call they want. I also think they can track movements with GPS. I believe they never "lost contact" with the Fisail Shazad, they tracked him and let that plane pull away from the gate so they could get every last piece of data from calls he may have made prior to take off.

Shazad is just the pawn....they want the big fish!

You may recall during the early days of the war in Afghanistan...UBL was using his phone and radios to communicate....It didn't take Bin Laden very long to figure out we had the technology to track his azz and drop a bomb on him. He had to break off all communication and is now hiding in a cave and has to have some idiot terrorist pack out a VCR tape or Audio tape by camel and hand deliver so they don't track him.

Maybe we just need to put the chips in the camels? laugh

I live in Arizona and personally, I think all this boycott and hoopla about this new law may end up backfiring on those opposed to it.

From what I have been hearing, many other states are considering copycat laws similar to SB1070.

I also think it's strange that Police can't ask if you are here legally. I haven't been stopped by a cop in awhile but last time I was he seemed to ask a lot of questions: Where you going? Have you had anything to drink? Can I see your drivers license and proof of insurance? Do you have any weapons in the vehicle? Do you mind if I search your vehicle? Is this your current address on your driver's license? etc. etc..

I am a native Arizonan and remember all the hoopla about the MLK Holiday. We would have had the state holiday sooner but the dang NFL had to open their mouths and threaten the people of Arizona. It came to a vote and the people of AZ don't take to threats to kindly so they voted the holiday down.

It came up to a public vote several years later and this time, the NFL kept their mouths shut and the voters approved the state holiday.

And by the way, I think Arizona was the first State in the Union to have a "Voter Approved" MLK Holiday.





thats true , Ronald Reagan had already signed it into LAW, without a vote, and many states accepted it, AZ was not one

from http://m.www.helium.com/items/1700263-how-martin-luther-king-jr-day-became-a-holiday

The acceptance of Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, has been ongoing since it was declared in 1986. Illinois was the first state to accept it.

In 1987, Governor Evan Mecham of Arizona, repealed the law. People from all over the U.S. boycott the state. In 1991, the NFL decides to hold the 1993 Super Bowl in Pasadena, California instead of Phoenix Arizona. This change is made because of the boycott of Arizona. In 1992, the boycott of Arizona works and the Arizonians vote to approve MLK Day. The Super Bowl is held in Tempe, in 1996, after the recognition.

All the states, in 1993, recognize the holiday in some form. Some of the states called it by a different name, “Civil Rights Day” or “Robert E. Lee Day”. In some states, it was not a paid state holiday. Finally, in 2000, all the states recognize MLK Day. Utah was the last state to call it MLK Day rather than Human Rights Day. South Carolina becomes the last state to make MLK a paid holiday. Up until this point, South Carolinians could choose to celebrate MLK Day or three Confederate-related holidays.




Ms Harmony, your facts are a little distorted. I was here and lived to tell the tale! Hahaha

Getting the King Holiday had nothing to do with the boycott of Arizona!

And Governor Evan Mecham did not "repeal a law" as I don't think a Governor can do that. He repealed the MLK Paid State Holiday that was signed as an executive order by his predecessor, Governor Bruce Babbit.

Then it came to the voters to decide whether or not to appove a MLK Holiday in 1990. The NFL Committee had already approved Phoenix for Superbowl XXVII said that they would move the game if voters did not approve the holiday. That was the THREAT! So voters got angry and voted the holiday down in 1990.

2 years later, in 1992, it came before the voters again to decide whether or not to approve a paid State MLK Holiday. Now the second time around, the NFL Committee got smart and kept their mouths SHUT, no threats, and the voters approved the Holiday.

I think Arizona may be the only State with a "voter approved" MLK Holiday. And I don't think the issue with the voters of Arizona was ever really about anything racial....it was about being threatened by outsiders like the NFL. That was the sentiment that was flowing throuigh the streets.

Now Governor Mecham, the guy who rescinded the MLK Holiday that his predecessor had initiated, was attacked by the voters and I believe he was a racist. He was the 1st Governor ever impeached in the State of Arizona. So what does that tell you about the people?

Back to my original statement, I think these boycotts are a very bad idea and may end up backfiring on those initiating them.

I also think these boycotts are like sanctions....similar to what we do to Iran. C'mon! Aren't we the UNITED STATES! Do we impose sanctions against our fellow states?

I believe if people are opposed to the law, there is a political process to undo the law. I believe that's called a referrendum. We have a system, people need to understand what it is and use it.





thanx for the information, I do not purport to tell others what they experienced , but to clarify,,,they arent actually 'my facts' they are the facts from the website

and governors can and do often repeal laws,,,,

I was alive then too, and temporarily in Arizona, and I remember that Ohio had MLK day and I was surprised when I arrived in Arizona to find that they did not,,that it had indeed (for whatever reason) been refused.

as to opposing laws, the political process is not the ONLY way to act,,and can sometimes be a very TIME CONSUMING way,,,,in a capitalist country,, money talks ,, money gets things done,,and so does the threat of taking money away


Ms Harmony, you are a wonerful person but I beg to differ with you. Maybe Nevada operates differently than Arizona?

A governor in Arizona cannot "Repeal" a law. They can merely "Sign Legislation" that repeals a law.

Manning is a crook and a thief. He burgled many homes, mostly on Long Island. He spent about three and a half years in prison in New York and Florida for burglary, robbery, larceny, criminal possession of a weapon, and other charges before his release in 1978.

This is not news, the guy is a looney! laugh

She has a mental disorder. The segment on the Learning Channel did a better job explaining about her and interviewing her. Pica Disorder is where people crave eating all kinds of crazy stuff that is not food. Like rocks, dirt, etc...

NEW TIMES - PHOENIX

CRACKING LIFELOCK: Even After a $12 Million Penalty for Deceptive Advertising, the Tempe Arizona Company Can't Be Honest About Its Identity-Theft-Protection Service

By Ray Stern Thursday, May 13 2010

It's been two months since the feds tried to gut LifeLock with a $12 million penalty for deceptive advertising, and the company's Web site still boasts that it can protect people from identity theft.

The Tempe-based company has spent millions of dollars since 2006 on ads that broadcast CEO Todd Davis' Social Security number. Customers pay $10 to $15 a month for the supposed protection — and for LifeLock's "$1 million guarantee" if the protection fails.

On one LifeLock Web page, www.todddavislifelock.com, Davis stated that he's "absolutely confident LifeLock is protecting my good name and personal information, just like it will yours."

Davis, a suit-wearing, ever-smiling salesman with short, blond hair, exudes confidence in LifeLock's ads.

But the evidence shows that he shouldn't be the slightest bit confident in LifeLock's ability to protect his name or personal data.

In June 2007, in the wake of a New Times article that exposed how LifeLock was founded with lies, news leaked that Davis had become the victim of identity theft. A man in Texas had used Davis' ID to take out a $500 loan, and Davis didn't know about it until the unpaid account went to a collection agency.

In the following months, Davis and LifeLock worked hard to spin the story into something positive. Davis claimed in an interview with MSNBC in May 2008 that the Texas incident was the one and only time anything like that had ever happened to him.

Another LifeLock page dedicated to Todd Davis, (www.lifelock.com/todd-davis) claimed (until it, like the other Davis page, was removed by LifeLock on May 4 following inquiries by New Times) that Davis "has looked to LifeLock for protection after an identity theft . . . but only once, and LifeLock was there to help."

New Times has learned, though, that the Texas incident wasn't a fluke.

In October 2007, a few months after news broke that Davis had become a victim, someone in Albany, Georgia, opened an AT&T wireless account using Davis' personal info, a Chandler police report shows.

As Todd Davis tried to deflect the bad press in the wake of the Texas crime, the Albany resident was racking up hours on a cell phone in Davis' name.

By the time AT&T cut off the person, he or she had amassed a large, unpaid bill.

That's when LifeLock and Davis finally learned of the theft.

When Albany investigators phoned Davis about the crime last year, "they were very familiar with him" and how he'd publicized his Social Security number, she says.

Yet AT&T wasn't the only company getting screwed by LifeLock's advertising scheme — because plenty more criminals have made use of Davis' data.

Records show that LifeLock representative Tamika Jones called the Chandler PD again in February 2009 to report a slew of fraudulent accounts opened in Davis' name.

More cell-phone service was fraudulently charged to Davis: Someone opened a Verizon account in New York, leaving behind unpaid bills of at least $186.

An account at Centerpoint Energy, a Texas utility, was opened. At least $122 went unpaid.

Fake Davises owe $573 to Credit One Bank and $312 to Swiss Colony, a gift-basket company.

Two other accounts, one for USA Savings Bank and a Gap credit card, were opened successfully in Davis' name but showed zero balances as of early 2009.

There were also multiple dings by collection agencies: Bay Area Credit, $265; two for Associated Credit Services, $207 and $213; and two for Enhanced Recovery Corporation, $250 and $381. Finally, there was a NCO/Fin 22 collection-agency account for $2,390, which could be the AT&T bill (considering the identical amount).

Full details as to what happened with these accounts could not be obtained from Davis. But it's clear that criminals in different locales have used Davis' ID to obtain a host of loans, goods, and services.

Davis' personal ID hasn't been merely abused since he began advertising his SSN — it's been gang-raped.

Counting the Texas incident, he's been a victim at least 13 times since 2007.

If I had a hand gun I would be glad to register it cause I have nothing to hide.

Are you an ex-vet?
Have you ever in your life expressed a dissatisfaction with the Gov.?
Did you ever support Ron Paul?
Are you a conservative?

Answer yes to any of those questions and all firearms, registered or not could legally be confiscated and you could also be held indefinitely without any one knowing where you was.

Don't believe it? Check the Patriot Act.

I don't see the need for registration any longer. Rim fire ammunition sold now has tracking numbers and you sign to buy them. They know what you have by the numbers.

BTW. If you're caught with ammo that is not trackable, it's a Federal crime. They'll jump over any illegal to get to you.


Where did you get these laws? About signing for ammo when you buy it and it's a federal crime on "not trackable" ammo??

Those laws must be TEXAS Laws because that's sure not the way it is here in AZ!!

I could go out right now and buy 10,000 rounds of 7.62 ammo, no questions asked!

We are allowed to drink here in AZ. I hear you outlawed that in many counties in Texas as well.

How come nobody is screaming about that in Texas? Isn't that a violation of your Constitutional rights?

This is what I read about a year ago. And there are more sites discussing it.
http://www.newsnet14.com/2009/01/04/ammunition-accountability-legislation/

Ammunition Accountability Legislation

Remember how Obama said that he wasn’t going to take your guns? Well, it seems that his allies in the anti-gun world have no problem with taking your ammo!

The bill that is being pushed in 18 states (including Illinois and Indiana) requires all ammunition to be encoded by the manufacture a data base of all ammunition sales. So they will know how much you buy and what calibers.


Nobody can sell any ammunition after June 30, 2009 unless the ammunition is coded..

Any privately held uncoded ammunition must be destroyed by July 1, 2011. (Including hand loaded ammo.) They will also charge a .05 cent tax on every round so every box of ammo you buy will go up at least $2.50 or more!

If they can deprive you of ammo they do not need to take your gun!


Willing, you made it sound like this is the LAW right now! NOT TRUE!

And President Obama had nothing to do with it. It was actually being pushed by a company that holds a patent on bullet coding technology.

I agree texting or talking on a cell phone while driving is a huge problem.

I also believe that simply passing all these laws is not going to stop the carnage.

Technology got us into this mess, Technology needs to get us out of this mess.

Most devices have GPS.....this should be able to sense when the device is in motion and should deactive when going over 10 mph. Just an idea.

Pass a law to make the manufacturers solve the problem...

Andy, let me be clear, I recognize that you are an American and I do not take issue with your pride in your Italian ancestry. I hoped you would have recognized the apparent sarcasm in my comments and paused to think about it for a moment.

What the point was, is that you were making some very angry & hostile comments about Americans of Mexican heritage if they display the same pride in their Mexican ancestry yet posted a thread showing pride in your Italian ancestry.

I think you have some real anger issues and need to seek help.
