All that we desired... "Never ascribe to malice that which is adequately explained by incompetence" -Napoleon Bonaparte Selfish interest lie at the root cause of most of the problems that have occured. In the end, people often lose all because; as usual, greed runneth amok...mj Greed n: excessive desire to acquire or possess more (esp material wealth) than one needs or deserves reprehensible acquisitiveness; insatiable desire for wealth (personified as one of the deadly sins) [syn: avarice, covetousness, rapacity, avaritia] 1:15:15 PM

Griffey Curse Continues... The Seattle curse on Griffey and A-Rod continues to work its evil magic... Reds star Ken Griffey Jr. will miss at least 3-to-6 weeks after injuring his troublesome right knee in a rundown during Sunday's game against Montreal. [CNN/SI] This could prove to be a season ending injury. Meanwhile the A-Rod saga continues as the Rangers get off to a 1-5 start. Bad pitching and a lack of hits start another less than stellar season for the poorly constructed Rangers. Both Griffey and A-Rod had nasty things to say when they left Seattle and both have suffered ever since. Compare that to fan favorite Randy Johnson who left after being screwed by the Mariners...payback can be sweet and sad...mj 9:48:38 AM

Man takes sledgehammer to faulty PC After returning a persistently faulty PC [Gateway] to a shop five times over three months, a Wisconsin man snapped and took it apart with a sledgehammer in front of shocked shoppers. [The Register] Service...oh where is the service? I am perplexed at how bad customer service has gotten over the past 30 years. Perhaps it is because we have seen so many examples of how it should be done [Nordstroms]. Perhaps it's because we are getting use to how low the bar has been set in the PC industry. No matter how you slice it...it makes no sense...mj 7:57:38 AM
