On the matter of a large sum of money...

I got an interesting version of the Nigerian scam in my inbox today. There was something different that caught my eye. I usually just delete them, but from time to time it is just interesting to read through and try to figure out what new angle someone is using to bilk the the dumb masses.

It was from a South Korean with a Chinese name working at a bank in Hong Kong (Hong Kong, Asia). I won't reveal his name for his protection

The most remarkable line was almost at the end:

...I am putting my career and the life of my family at stake with this venture. Although nothing ventured is nothing gained.

Nothing ventured, nothing gained!? So, you can't make money unless you are willing to risk... the lives of your family! And I thought the economy was bad here in the U.S. I sure am glad I don't live in Hong Kong, Asia!

Updated Dr. Seuss

I do not like this Uncle Sam,

I do not like his health care scam.

I do not like these dirty crooks,

or how they lie and cook the books.

I do not like when Congress steals,

I do not like their secret deals.

I do not like this speaker, Nan ,

I do not like this 'YES WE CAN.'

I do not like this spending spree,

I'm smart, I know that nothing's free.

I do not like your smug replies,

when I complain about your lies.

I do not like this kind of hope.

I do not like it, nope, nope, nope!

This is a great visual to help understand the larger immigration problem.

Pre-existing Nonsense

Thought experiment: see if you think this would work...

If you get in a car accident, call up all the states (or a gecko, or someone who is progressive) and tell them you would like to sign up for a policy. Sure you have a pre-existing accident. But they shouldn't be able to refuse, should they?

• Question 1: Do you think the insurance company would sign you up and pay to fix your car that was already damaged?
• Question 2: If insurance companies were forced to accept pre-existing accidents, why would anyone buy insurance before getting in a crash?
• Question 3: Without using the words "because it is a civil right", how is this car example different than a pre-existing heath condition?
