Political party that cries wolf! an email!

Me to the Conservative Party of Canada

10:27pm Wednesday, Oct 31, 2007
I have seen your new political attack ad and I am not pleased. There has not even been an election called nor has parliament been dissolved either by the Prime Minister or the Governor General, so you’re not in an election cycle yet. Sit down, shut up and wait. You’ll get your chance just like anybody else. I feel like I am back in high school where the group of kids that aren’t so popular attempt to become flashy to get attention. I am aware that political attack ads can be very powerful and generally are used when you need to get elected. If you play your cards right, we may not need to go to the polls anytime soon. Personally attacking the leader of another party could be considered a new low for any politician or party. At this point, you may be wondering why I am contacting the Progressive Conservative Party. The reason is that you are, at the time of this email, the only party that has launched a television attack ad in a non-election cycle. The television ad reminds me of the old tale about the boy who “cried wolf”. I am assuming your communications director is aware of this story, particularly the ending. This ad is reminiscent of the tale in a political context. For the record, I find political attack ads annoying, particularly how they systematically attempt to do a character assassination of a parties leader. I am not speaking specifically of the intended target in the commercial but in general terms. A person would get annoyed if they were personally attacked in a commercial, politician or no politician. In the end, a political party may do more damage to themselves than their opposition by plastering their view of the world and anyone in it on television before the usual blood season starts. As we all know, in the end, the boy who cried wolf was not saved. The out of season commercial really offends me.

Google reminds us all to be safe online

I guess Google got a lot of email Phishing attacks to fix in past weeks
Google gives the fallowing steps to be safe!

• 
  Be careful about responding to emails that ask you for sensitive information. You should be wary of clicking on links in emails or responding to emails that are asking for things like account numbers, user names and passwords, or other personal information such as social security numbers. Most legitimate businesses will never ask for this information via email. Google doesn't.
  
• Go to the site yourself, rather than clicking on links in suspicious emails. If you receive a communication asking for sensitive information but think it could be legitimate, open a new browser window and go to the organization's website as you normally would (for instance, by using a bookmark or by typing out the address of the organization's website). This will improve the chances that you're dealing with the organization's website rather than with a phisher's website, and if there's actually something you need to do, there will usually be a notification on the site. Also, if you're not sure about a request you've received, don't be afraid to contact the organization directly to ask. It takes just a few minutes to go to the organization's website, find an email address or phone number for customer support, and reach out to confirm whether the request is legitimate.
  If you're on a site that's asking you to enter sensitive information, check for signs of anything suspicious. If you're on a site that's asking for sensitive information -- no matter how you got there -- check for the signs that it's really the official website for the organization. For example, check the URL to make sure the page is actually part of the organization's website, and not a fraudulent page on a different domain (such as mybankk.com or g00gle.com.) If you're on a page that should be secured (like one asking you to enter in your credit card information) look for "https" at the beginning of the URL and the padlock icon in the browser. (In Firefox and Internet Explorer 6, the padlock appears in the bottom right-hand corner, while in Internet Explorer 7 the padlock appears on the right-hand side of the address bar.) These signs aren't infallible, but they're a good place to start.
  
• Be wary of the "fabulous offers" and "fantastic prizes" that you'll sometimes come across on the web. If something seems too good to be true, it probably is, and it could be a phisher trying to steal your information. Whenever you come across an offer online that requires you to share personal or other sensitive information to take advantage of it, be sure to ask lots of questions and check the site asking for your information for signs of anything suspicious.
  
• Use a browser that has a phishing filter. The latest versions of most browsers -- including Firefox, Internet Explorer, and Opera -- include phishing filters that can help you spot potential phishing attacks.All fairly simple, right? What it all comes down to is if someone asks you to share personal or other sensitive information online, take a moment to think through the request carefully. Doing so will help you stay safe online, and help us all put phishers out of business.

RANDOM THOUGHTS OF A LURKER
Has an interesting perspective parental methods

"Recent family discussions have prompted me to think about this a lot lately. Now before I say anything further on the subject I am not currently a parent and this is completely based on my personal opinion's often think about how I would handle certain situations with my kids when and if I decide to have any that is (my mind is not quite made up on the matter, all I know is that I'm definitely not in a hurry).I think part of my hesitation has to do with the way kids are these days."
