Public Scrutiny

Delaware has expanded its use of the public registry of sex offenders, as reported by the News Journal. This is an action that is both criticized and praised.

Do you think that publicizing criminal behaviour may serve as a deterrent? The founders did. Public stocks, and hangings were the norm.

The publication of this material also helps us to guide our lives more safely. Do you believe that?

What are your thoughts?

Thought for the day...

This afternoon I was chilling at the bar at Crabby Dick's(my favorite crab cake source) in Delaware City, pondering life, looking for a succinct way to express myself. For a couple of weeks, my daily slogan has been.... live the journey. Today I realized that it isn't enough to live the journey, we need to Love the Journey!

Baseball Rules

Am I the only one who feels that stealing bases in baseball is somehow unethical or unsportsmanlike?

Displaced Workers find Corporate Path to Self-Employment

We have seen an influx of new corporate entity formations and inquiries, as the economy has moved significant numbers of qualified workers out of the traditional work force. Many of these displaced workers are starting their own businesses, either as Corporations, or Limited Liability Companies (LLC).

PayPal Banned

We have recently decided that Paypal is insecure and not an acceptable means by which to engage in financial transactions. We came to this conclusion because of PayPal's totally inadequate handling of a fraudulent transaction. Therefore, PayPal will no longer be used on this site, nor at any of our related entities.

Delaware Sheds Excess Cars, But Not Enough

According to the News Journal, Delaware's Governor plans to get eliminate some 135 state-funded cars, that have in the past been supplied free of charge to cabinet officials in addition to their salaries. I applaud this as a step in the right direction.

The correct path is made up of many steps. I suggest that the next step be to consolidate the dozens of entirely unnecessary school districts that drain funding from our students education, and the state coffers. Each of these superfluous school districts have over-paid superintendents, and a full staff to support them. I believe that most of them (the already over-paid administrators) also have semi-secret contract provisions that give them each thousands of our dollars per year for their automobile expenses.

Why is it that the Governor can't see the millions of dollars we are wasting in our education system? Who is lobbying to keep it as it is?

Thought for the day...

In business, the future is uncertain. We plan to achieve long range goals.

In life, the end is certain. Live the journey.
