For the past three years I have relyed on imeem to keep me entertained at work and home. There are very few songs they don't have for my listening pleasure and I have created some sweet playlists over the years.
Today, I sat down at my desk and proceeded to opened imeem.com, as I do most mornings. An unexpected and unwelcome page flashed before my eyes and caused me to say words I will not repeat. Low and behold, imeem has sold out to myspace and can no longer be accessed without a myspace account.
Due to my stubborn streak, I will not be listening to my carefully selected playlists today or any day for that matter. I am so ashamed of imeem and the sell out that I have decided to boycott them for eternity. imeem has betrayed countless music lovers around the world with their thoughtless behavior and will forever be on my "shitlist".

Rep. Peter King Out of Line.
“Rep. Peter King, a New York Republican who called Jackson a "pervert, child molester, pedophile" in a video he posted on YouTube this week, vowed Tuesday to do "whatever I have to do" to oppose honoring Jackson.” (By SUZANNE GAMBOA, Associated Press Writer Suzanne Gamboa, Associated Press Writer – Wed Jul 8, 3:20 am ET)
As stated in Article 6 of the Constitution of the United States of America…
“The Senators and Representatives before mentioned, and the Members of the several State Legislatures, and all executive and judicial Officers, both of the United States and of the several States, shall be bound by Oath or Affirmation, to support this Constitution; but no religious Test shall ever be required as a Qualification to any Office or public Trust under the United States.”
Clearly, Representative Peter King violated his oath of office by denouncing the 5th Amendment of the United States of America when he publicly stated that Michael Jackson was guilty of crimes in which he was NOT found guilty of by a Judge and Jury.
The 5th Amendment of the US Constitution states:
“No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the Militia, when in actual service in time of War or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offense to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.”
Correct me if I’m wrong, but it is apparent we have a problem when those chosen to represent us go against the very thing “we the people” have elected them to uphold.

Health Care - Rising Cost or Rising Ignorance?
I often wonder why people complain about the rising cost of health care and never once look at themselves as the possible cause of their grief. There are many factors and many different ways to make sickness an every day part of your life, but there are that many ways to prevent it as well.
For instance, let your children get dirty, let them touch public surfaces and teach them how to use soap and water instead of slathering them with antibacterial crap that will just weaken their immune system so that they will be a strain on the health care system and society for their entire life instead of just the end of it. Let them go a couple of days without a bath or shower so their body knows how to deal with dirt and grime. Don’t let doctors give them antibiotics for a sniffle or a cough; it just makes them more immune to it when it’s actually needed.
Take care of your body, feed it right and don’t get fat. There are so many obese people clogging up doctor’s offices and hospitals that people who are really sick can’t get proper care. These overweight people want to get a pill to feel better or have surgery instead of eating right and exercising; do they realize most of their health problems would disappear if they would just take care of themselves? See a shrink, figure out why you have to eat a dozen donuts instead of just one or eat the entire carton of ice cream instead of just a bowl of it. Take the stairs, not the elevator; oh you can’t make it up the stairs without running out of breath? That’s because you NEVER TAKE THE STAIRS!!!
Get recess and a real gym class back in the public school systems. People used to actually exercise in P.E., now they sit around and watch movies. Recess is 20 minutes long and there are so many rules that kids can’t even run around anymore. I blame idiot parents for their over protective, sue happy behavior; they have ruined daily activity for the rest of the kids. So what if your kid was running at school and tripped on his own shoelace, does that mean you sue the school for negligence? Who do you sue if your kid trips on his shoelaces at home, the landscaper, the kid he was chasing’s parents? Not only does this hurt the physical well being of kids, it hurts the mental state of them as well. You’ve got a lot of high energy kids in classrooms that are put on medication instead of out on the playground. Give them a freaking jump rope for crying out loud.
So lets just all take a look at ourselves and decide what we can do to make the health care system work. Be active, eat right and take care of yourself. Realize that pills cover problems, they don’t fix them. Sanitize cutting boards, not kids. And don’t blame the government for the rising cost of healthcare; it wouldn’t be this high if there wasn’t such a high demand for it.
