I'm Fed Up with FireFox

Internet Explorer got to the point where it allowed more clutter than content, especially with the usual intrusiveness of everything from MicroSoft.  I switched to FireFox so long ago that I can't remember.  I was happy up until the last year or so.  It seemed like the updates were more and more often.  FireFox was always pretty well behaved, but lately, every update discards all of my open tabs and sets the default browser to Yahoo, which I can't stand.

I have had it!  I am now using Chrome on all of my computers at home and work.  It is only slightly different.  There are a few features that will take some getting used to, but nothing significant.

At least all of my settings will stay put.

Just How Stupid ARE you?

I have watched an inexplicable phenomenon since the 80s that I can only attribute to rage induced insanity.  (I guess that would mean 'not guilty by reason of temporary insanity.")

In every presidential election, there is a sizable group of people who say, "I absolutely will not, under any circumstances, vote for THAT person, even if they are the only choice."

If you are ever tempted to say this, first say to yourself, "I would rather have the WORST POSSIBLE candidate, than not have the one I wanted."  Now, doesn't that sound just a LITTLE bit insane?

Assuming that you do indeed believe that one political party is (at least marginally) better for the country than the other, do the math!  'Less than the best' is still far better than 'worst.'

Remember.  If you do not vote for 'our' guy, that is at least one half of a vote for 'their' guy.

For the next four years, do you really want to be 'not guilty by reason of temporary insanity.'
