I know its sounds funny, but this is exactly the kind of data mining
that the NSA has been doing for a while, everything everywhere, in the
digital world. Call me a tin foil hat wearing freak but I know that is
why Alberto Gonzo won't give up any of the details of his little
project. Because it involves data mining on every single US citizen ad
everyone interfacing withe US, so they can tell If I went and checked
out the Anarchist's Cook Book, and then went to the feed store and
bought 500 pounds of nitrates, a whole flock of carrier pigeons and a
dozen cell phones, thats right, Pigeon Warheads!

I just wish it would distinguish between what I buy as
gifts and what I buy for myself.

Apparently Amazon thinks I'm a rich, fat, wiccan who like
butterfly earrings. :-)

My guess is that, sinister as it sounds, you'd get a rather large charge
card bill that those *******s at the card company would expect you to
pay...

I bought "Rich Dad's Advisors®: The ABC's of Real Estate Investing:
The Secrets of Finding Hidden Profits Most Investors Miss (Rich Dad's
Advisors)" for a yuppie friend who just had a kid.

Boy is he going to be in for a shock when he finds out he
won't have the money, time or energy now that he's got a
rugrat.
