Huge Hallmark Virus Alert E-mail – HOAX

I am writing this post so people to not get their panties in a bunch like I first did.

False email alert warns of ‘the worst virus ever’ circulating in the form of an attachment labeled ‘POSTCARD’ or ‘POSTCARD FROM HALLMARK’. It also says that you need to send the attached e-mail to all your contacts in your e-mail list. They also say this has been confirmed by Snopes.com and Norton is gearing up for this. It mentioned if clicked it will eat or burn a whole in your hard drive.

Well folks after researching this I am afraid this too is a e-mail hoax. I guess some people out there have nothing better to do.

Now there are viruses that are very real and you need to be very aware of there threat and some do come in the form of phony Hallmark e-cards and other e-cards. The best you can do is try to find the difference between what is real and what isn’t, Snopes.com is excellent at that kind of information.

For instance this is a very real virus that is coming in a form of e-card
REAL VIRUS: Messages with subject headers such as ‘You’ve received a postcard from a school-mate!’ or ‘You’ve received a Hallmark E-Card,’ etc. may contain links to malicious Web pages.

It is a Trojan threat and does not say it will burn a whole in your hard drive and so on like the e-mail alert mentions it will do when you click on it.

Breaking News – Public Apology Yes or No

I get so tired of just keeping my mouth shut about certain things in life that really bother me. So here it it goes.
On another sight they had mentioned that Florida had recently given a public apology for slavery and yes I looked it up and verified it, but this was the question they posted:

Should The United States Issue A Public Apology For Slavery?

I answered absolutely not, it’s 2008 get over it !! now before some of you get your panties in a bunch let me explain a few things.

First I am not a racist nor do I ever plan on being one, that is a whole other topic.

My point is this:

Have we issued a public apology to the American Indians, for taking their land, etc ? Oh we have given them their casinos and reservations, BIG WOOP !
Have we issued a public apology to the American Jews, because we were so slow to act, that had we been quicker we could have saved half of their relatives?

Why would we want to open up this can of worms, when there has been so many that have been affected by things. Some of the things that our forefathers, ancestors and Government has done were awful, but these things happened soooooo many years ago.

You can not single out one American race to give an apology to and not the others, that is wrong. If you do you are saying what exactly? That one race is better than another, that one American race, because of what happened way in the past is able to use that excuse to get more things and do more than any other American? Are you saying that what one race went through was way worse then the ones listed above and others?

We all work, pay taxes, live in this country as one country, it’s time we start acting like it.

I want as much time and energy that is focused on slavery to be focused on things at hand.

I WANT TO KNOW ABOUT:

What is being done about our economy going to hell in a hand basket and very quickly.
Someone tell me what is being done about these awful gas prices that are only suppose to get worse.
Finding ways to help our unemployment rate and all the poor people out of work that is sky rocketing monthly.
Who’s putting energy into fighting for grocery prices, that buying milk and a bag of potato chips is like buying gold.
These are the things I want focused on, these are the things we all need answers to and this is what people should be focusing on.

Your Gas Stations Have Their Eyes On You

Do Soaring gas prices have you thinking about ripping of a tank of gas?

I guess according to our paper and some statistics some drivers are doing that very thing, a lot more drivers than ever are now.

 

We all know about drive-off gas thieves at the gas pump, but since the sky rocket in gas prices there seems to be an all time high of this occurrence, all over the place.

So gas station owners are starting to install camera systems that are designed to record your plates and some owners are starting to write down license plate numbers, some only do those plates that are linked to people that look like they are up to something, while other owners have taken to writing down every vehicles plates.

Wow what a mess, how time consuming and can be costly, but I suppose not as costly as people time after time driving off without paying for their gas.

HIT AND RUN – 11 YEAR OLD VICTIM

This actually happened a little while ago, but the man who did this has just gotten out this month after only serving a little over a year.

A little over a year ago a man (Sanchez) driving a friends van was returning home when an 11 year old girl (Gladys) stepped out into the crosswalk. When Sanchez turned the corner the van struck 11 year old Gladys lodging her in its wheel well and kept going.  GOOD GRIEF!!!!

People that saw what was happening tried desperately to get Sanchez to stop. He dragged Gladys for a quarter of a mile down the flippin road. This destroyed her one arm and mangled a leg, she did by some miracle survive, but the arm was amputated.  HOW UTTERLY AWEFUL !!!

Sanchez was sentenced on march 21st 2007 to 23 months. 

The father of Gladys is so upset and there is no love for the driver (Sanchez) who almost killed his only daughter. The other reasons for this besides the obvious, is the man who cost his child her arm and rendered a leg pretty much useless, got out of prison after barely serving a year.

The authorities said that their hands were tied. The judge went on to say: “It was about as sad an experience I’ve had as a judge. He recalled seeing the horrific hospital photos of Gladys injuries and feling frustrated he couldn’t give Sanchez more time. The judge also said “This poor girl was minding her own business, Sanchez deserves more prison time.”

Authorities said “our sentencing guidelines do not comprehend the magnitude of a crime of this nature, it doesn’t even call for a prison sentence.”    NICE ONE !

Sanchez’s Attorney said “Sanchez felt an enormous amount of shame and sympathy for the victim and her family.”   I WOULD HOPE SO, FOR GOODNESS SAKE !

 

OUR HEARTS AND PRAYERS ARE WITH YOU GLADYS AND YOUR FAMILY AS WELL. HANG IN THERE SWEETIE, IT CAN ONLY GET BETTER FROM HERE.
