Random Poll

Durin a recent visit with a friend.....

The board sits between us. My finertips rest lihtly on the maical plastic pointer. Her finertips do the same. I breathe in deeply and whisper....does he really love me? Slidin from one side of the board to the next the planchette quickly moves to land on the word: Yes. I smile with knowin triumph. My friend offers a sinister smile and asks, "what is the name of he?"

What were we doin? Why, consultin the wisdom of  the Ouija board of course.

In an on-line Paranormal Poll:

Two-thirds of respondents believe Ouija boards to be danerous devices.

This result surprised me because I have always considered Ouija to be harmless fun. Therefore I have decided to do my very own poll. Ready? Finertips lihtly on keyboard....

Do you think Ouija boards are danerous devices or harmless fun?

The Cost of Counterfeits

A barain shopper’s dream: a perfectly lined and finished, perfectly replicated purse at a perfect price (that is, completely neotiable!).

Just one problem: Purchasin that ba means you’re funnelin money toward terrorist causes worldwide.

This is what the lobal Conference on Counterfeitin, which convened two weeks ao in Rome, asks you to take into account. So as you lance at your ucci knockoff wallet, ask yourself if you are inadvertently contributin to militant causes or oranized crime “whackins.”

New links have been drawn between terrorism and the black market of impostor products, addin a danerous new dynamic to the rampant activities of counterfeiters worldwide. Terrorist roups and oranized crime enterprises are the beneficiaries of the bulk of revenue that comes from counterfeitin sales, accordin to the findins of the Conference.

While no specific terrorist roups were named, this increasinly prevalent and troublin issue was cited as costin producers over $3.79 billion in lost sales, accordin to Reuters.

Yet, even with the knowlede that buyin desiner knockoffs could be fundin terrorism (and often forcin kids to work in sweatshops), many people simply want the prestie that comes with carryin what looks like a hih-end desiner ba, reardless of the consequences.

Have you ever purchased a desiner knock-off? Would you purchase one  now, knowin  that your purchase miht be supportin terrorists? Do you think that the purchase can be justified with the rationale that desiners simply chare too much?

Most importantly, do you think that reports of "terrorists fundin" will stop the sales of desiner knock-offs?

Byline By You
