Some Of What I Have Learned
It is hard to imagine how ignorant I would be if all those people who claim to have invented the Internet had not invented the Internet.
Here is some of what I have learned from the Internet...
Ø I did not know Nigeria was such a rich country.
Ø Almost every day I receive an email or two from a Nigerian offering to give me a lot of money.
Ø I never dreamed Nigerians were so generous with their riches.
Ø Nigerians who want to give away millions of dollars ought to take a class in English as a Second Language before they start trying to give away vast fortunes to vast fortuneless people.
Federal Regulation Needed
The sad thing about all of this is the people who send out these phony giveaway emails would not be bothering to send them if they did not make money because they sent them.
This means that there are people who are stupid (note, I did not say “ignorant”) enough to believe that complying with the information requests from these Nigerian Princes is going to make them rich.
There ought to be a Federal Law that says anyone who is stupid (note, I did not say “ignorant”) enough to give away Sensitive Financial Information that results in their being fleeced by people they have never met ought not be allowed to have Sensitive Financial Information.
We need a Federal Department of Sensitive Financial Information Entitlement Control.
That ought to do it.
Would I kid u?

Maybe there is another way to stop those annoyances: A fee to send such messages. Say a penny postage, money goes to the recipient of the message.
So exchanging messages with a friend just passes the penny back and forth, but getting junk mail is getting rich a little bit at a time.
What do you think of my two cents worth here.
During the past week we have received calls from Apple, Inc telling me that my Apple Cloud account has been breached and all that is needed in order to correct the problem is my credit card number. Also, Windows, Inc. called to say that my Windows contract has expired and all Windows applications will stop working if I don't call and give them money....the list could go on!!!!
