Welcome to belonging to no one and nothing...

Well, I think I belong to God but that isn't what my post is about, and my wife thinks we belong to each other, and this isn't about that either. There are organizations that think I belong to them. Facebook, the United States of America (I am not a State, I am one of The People and a proud member of a well regulated militia, but I don't belong to the Federal government, the State government, the county government... or the United Nations). Frank W. James has closed his blog, and all because Google wants to own us all, they map and monitor us very well. They decided that blogger wasn't good enough in the old format. Some young folks wanted something else, or had to prove they deserved their jobs and were told to chase off the people that just wrote and read and weren't making Google much money. Facebook decided the Timeline was the thing and almost lost a bunch of us, but then when I warned everyone that the IPO was not worth buying into - a bunch of folks went crazy anyway... and got burned. There aren't any get rich quick and easy schemes out there.

Anyway, since there is a decided lack of customer service in many big businesses, consider banks a wonderful example, computer answering and polling and political and charity fund raising.... no human touch, kind of kinky like those blow up dolls. Not something to waste time or money upon.

The real secret is getting cut off from the internet, power outage, disaster, or just not turning on the computer that is linked... and life goes right on until you take that last breath. You will have more time to talk to real people, hoping they understand you since they may be basing their world view on what they see on tiny monitors and not linked to what is happening - they have to check the weather before opening the door and looking out at the sky... This can be a great communication method, and much work can be aided by good software and business sense, but if you can't find buried treasure in cyberspace you may have to go to Oak Island and dig. Have a great time, remember Troy wasn't found in the local library, but the clues were.
