   Did you see their “security.html” page?

   Your browser may pop up a dialogue explaining that there is a problem with the certificate supplied by ‘www.smackamerica.org’. You may be wondering, “What is this smackamerica.org, and what does it have to do with ‘giveusallyourmoney.com’?”

   Here is the simple explanation: giveusallyourmoney.com is a subsidiary website of smackamerica.org. Since we can’t afford to purchase a signing key from a root authority ( as no one has given us all their money… yet ), we have generated one for ourselves and signed it ourselves.

   Rest assured that even though we don’t subscribe to the paradigm that is the root authority certificate system, your credit card information IS BEING ENCRYTPED before being sent to us. No one outside our orginization will get it, and we will use it ONLY for the express purpose of taking all your money.

   thank you.
   sincerely,
   the giveusallyourmoney.com team

   EVERYBODY: HART!

   That is soooo excellent, HART!
   I noticed that orginization and started laughing as soon as I saw it. The whole thing is such fun, but I totally missed the certificate. I was chicken to take the joke too far and maybe get caught in its web . . . my husband took my money too many times for me. (big Cheshire cat grin)

   LIZ!

   Listen .. it may not be a successful business, but it’s a heck of a good business plan, don’t you think?

   Reminds me of the one that I had …in my old archives.

   I think it’s a fine business plan–for them. (grin)
   I was chicken to be a customer with a credit card was all.

   I’m going to check your archives. Right after I bold the link you left so that other folks can check your archives too.

   HART,

   That archive post is so EXCELLENT!!!

   Everyone should visit your link. Anyone who’s reading this, move your eyes up two comments and click on the bold words “old archives.” You won’t be sorry. If you came this far, you’re the kind of person who would enjoy what you’ll find there.

   Did you also read the “ideas” page? My favorite was the last one…

   ME Strauss said

   Hey,
   I just went back and read ALL of the suggestions.

   You’re right that last one IS the best one. I’m thinking maybe I should do it. That might be the way to pay for my son’s college education. hehe.

   Hmm.. maybe I should get the Form to work properly and put my correct address in this form! (that address does not exist anymore). I have tons of crap like that since 1995 days. I believe my entire CD and LP collection is also online somewhere. I should make a link page to the good ones and fix the broken links.

    Well, HART, as your manager and publicist.

    I fully expect my share of the revenues in this. How does 1 percent sound?

    After all, I am the nice one.

    only 1%? I can do a ~LOT~ better than that .. what type of car do you want? lol I’ll put an “order” in at one of the local city parking lots

    ME Strauss said

    Oh HART,
    Thank you for being so generous. That’s so gracious, really, but I already have a cool two-seater convertible that suits me.

    So the meager 1 percent is plenty. Honestly.

    Leave it to pornography and the thought of making easy money to push technology. I think both of the above got us to where we are now.

    ME Strauss said

    Hi Patrick,
    You have a point there–though I would say that their both about money to the ones pushing the technology. You might as well add defense to the mix.

    Money and fear are great motivators. In fact fear of having no moeny is a phenomenal motivator.

    This post, however, was intended only as humor.
