Making Money

 Americans have the most money in the world, and they think this makes them the best people in the world. 

And they probably are, if best means having the most money. 

But ethics is not so simple; it is one of the most complicated subjects in the world. 

WWII made us the richest country in the world, and for thirty years, people from all over the world emigrated to share in this wealth. 

But then it ended. And Americans have gone into shock and self-destruction, making a bad situation even worse. 

The United States Embargo against Cuba

There is a Wikipedia article on this, and here is the final paragraph:

William M. LeoGrande summarized that the embargo against Cuba is "the oldest and most comprehensive US economic sanctions regime against any country in the world. It comprises a complex patchwork of laws and presidential determinations" imposed over half a century ago, which long-time Cuban leader and former president Fidel Castro once called "a tangled ball of yarn." According to LeoGrande, "[US] Presidents have tightened or relaxed it to suit their own strategies—some seeking to overthrow or punish the Cuban regime with economic pressure, others seeking to improve relations by resorting to soft power rather than hard. The impact of US sanctions has also varied, at times inflicting serious harm on the Cuban economy and at other times being merely an expensive annoyance. But the embargo has never been effective at achieving its principal purpose: forcing Cuba's revolutionary regime out of power or bending it to Washington's will."^[4]

It is cs clear to me that the US needs to do some work on this, and at the very least, make it easy for Americans to visit Cuba. 

Watch-Mobile Madness

 I have been taken for a ride here, starting with a Fitbit, which goes in the trash today.

Now Samsung has jumped on this bandwagon (sammobile.com) with its watch-phone-OS combos, which want you to go Samsung all the way. Check out their prices. 

Being around People with Similar Interests

We are a very social species. This is one of the secrets of our success. If one of our number is attacked, everyone is arracked. 

Preditors know this and only attack individuals. 

Getting uased to Walt

And he does take some getting used to. 

I downloaded Leaves of Grass: The Original 1855 Edition. 

I read the Introduction carefully, over and over, trying to get a feel for the man behind the words. 

I failed. 

Where your Blog lives

In three places:

1. On your computer, when you first start writing it. This is quickly copied to location Two and lives in both places, simultaneously. This sounds dangerous, but your blogger software takes care of that for you easily. This is classified as a Draft entry. 

2. Someplace only you can access. This location is determined by the company that made your blogger app.

3. Someplace anyone can access. Probably in a cloud somewhere, also determined by the company that made your blogger app. This is called Publishing your blog entry.
