In continuation of yesterday's post, my mind seems to be stuck in reverse. I was thinking back to a time when I actually OWNED a dog. Now I am just a dog care giver, parent, foster parent, adoptive parent, servant and manager. It is now impossible to buy the pet of your choice. You must ADOPT a pet. Animals rights organizations and the government have put a stop to most dog breeding.
You can't adopt a dog from a rescue because their standards are higher than they are for adopting a child. Plus every animal you already care for must be spayed or neutered. You must live in an impenetrable fort and sign away your life and privacy. The rescue adoption fees are higher than you would pay to a good breeder for an excellent bred pup.
So here is what I see happening in the pet world. It is already happening with designer pets. They are mixed breeds without registration. Goodbye AKC! Goodbye purebred dogs! So what is the long term effect. No more breeders, no more rescues, no more humane society and no more animal control officers, this is great news. No more surplus animals.
Dogs will sell at a premium on the black market because they have become an endangered species. In the mean time look at all the lost jobs and incomes. What will all of the rescue, humane society, animal rights and dog registry people do with their time? Why do these people want to put themselves out of a job?
Talking about putting yourself out of a job. A friend of ours has cancer and as she struggles through her treatments, she has raised some good points. Why would cancer researchers want to cure cancer? Look at all of the people that it would destroy as opposed to all of the people it would save. Look at all of the Hospitals that it would put out of business. These researchers have put tons of money and effort into their educations to do what? Put themselves out of a job. Even if someone would make a huge breakthrough, I am afraid that they would be quieted. I hope this isn't true but when you think about it, it is disturbing.
This also brings to mind Global Warming and Climate Change, the very people who are suppose to be working for solutions to the situation are the ones who are making big money because of it. Why would they want to be upfront about the true situation? We should be jumping for joy that this has all been a scam but they are trying hard to say that it isn't a scam. Look at all of the people who will lose their fame and fortune.

Scams and Spams
Someone on a forum that I frequent posted the link below to the Washington Post website and noted that they were already seeing a difference in their e-mail inboxes and spam folders.
Major Source of Online Scams and Spams Knocked Offline - Security Fix
I read the article yesterday and noticed a big difference in my spam levels as well. This morning was the icing on the cake, only eight spam messages awaited me upon my awakening. There are normally around forty the first thing in the morning.
I haven't visited my gmail or yahoo email accounts yet but I am going there now to empty my spam folders then see how they look in a day or two. The sad part of this story is that we were led to believe that most of our spam and scams come from other counties, but now we see that it is mostly home grown.

Work at Home
Sorry, that I didn't blog yesterday, but I had something more important to do, I went to Sunday School, watched my Grandson sled all afternoon, then went back to Church in the evening. Enough excuses, now back to my thoughts for today.
Why do so many people want to work at home? Because they want to stay home plus be able to earn some money. Simple concept, makes sense and something that most everyone desires, get rich at home. This makes the work at home scams very successful and very sad, especially for those Moms who want to stay at home with their precious babies or children. This is just a perfect situation to me, I love stay at home Moms.
The problem is that there just aren't that many Work at Home jobs that are legitimate, if someone has to advertise for people to do work for them at home, then you might as well figure that it is a scheme to take advantage of you. There are so many people out there that are looking for these jobs that no one should ever have to advertise unless they are just scammers. So please don't fall for this stuff. I have a free classified site that gets these type of ads listed everyday. I delete them as soon as possible but I am always amazed at the number of hits these ads get. Here is a sample of one that I deleted this morning.
Join one of the best Advertising Company of India. We pay you for your hard work. 100% Payment Assurance. Its a copy-paste work. Unlimited Monthly income. For more details E-mail or call us.
What the above ad consists of is spamming classified sites like mine or posting ads to sites that allow comments. So, in other words they turn you into a spammer which gets you kicked off of your ISP, so that you don't have internet service anymore and guess what? They can't pay you, since they can no longer reach you through e-mail but then, they never intended to pay you anyway.
They actually get suckers to fall for this stuff all of the time. It isn't important to keep you hooked, it is only important to get you hooked for a short time, they go for quantity of suckers, not quality.
There are other scams that sell you useless products to assemble for resale, you purchase this junk, then get stuck with items that won't sell, they have already made their profit when you paid them.
Be smart, don't fall for scams, remember if it sounds to good to be true, then it is! You aren't going to win any lotteries through emails and you aren't going to be able to help any oppressed people get large amounts of money out of their country.
We once received a $20,000 cashier's check for a $1000 horse that we had for sale. We knew that it was a fake check but we wanted to make them pay the postage to send it anyway. With this scam, some US banks would cash these checks, then you were asked to send some of the money to a shipper who wasn't really a shipper but was the actual scammer. Then after you had sent the money you would hear back from the bank that the check was not real and you would have to repay the bank. This scam doesn't work well anymore because the US banks are wise to it now.
