I Have Given Up on Blogger.

For those (few!) who read, have read and possibly still read this blog, I have given up on it since Google took over.

Google insists on me either signing in with my Google account, which means creating a new blog, or signing out of my Google account, which means no access to my Email.

So, while Google's far-reaching arm of integration can appear to be useful, for me it is a right royal P.I.T.A.

I have separate accounts, because that's how I like to work; this is my blog; this is my email; this is my FB etc. etc.

I'm not gonna be forced into having all my accounts under on umbrella-  think of the fun hackers would have; think of the pain you'll experience having to set up all your accounts again if the situation ever arose.

No, this integration isn't for me. I have a new blog, on a similar theme here- http://smilingcarcass.wordpress.com/ for those that wish to peruse my ramblings.

Show Your Dissent!

For those who feel that, as I do we have no alternative political party to vote for. For those who believe we have no effective opposition. And for those who don't trust any political candidate. If you have such leanings, but would like to register your non-vote, and have a wish and willingness to vote may I suggest that at each election you go to the polling station and put a question mark against each of the candidates?
This way, no candidate will be credited with your vote. The voting paper will be rejected. If there are millions of such papers, it may, probably will be noticed. (I have been a scrutineer at a count. I believe they would, eventually be noticed.) We may become a non-affiliated political force to be reckoned with.

I end every email I send with ‘WANT TO VOTE BUT HAVE NO ACCEPTABLE CANDIDATE? PUT A '?' IN EACH BOX. SHOW THE ESTABLISHMENT WE EXIST.I also link it to this post. Maybe you could do the same. Maybe we can make a difference.
