		<description>It&#039;s hard for me to believe people&#039;s &quot;addictions&quot; too.  And I do think there are too many people filing lawsuits just because they can.

When I was a Hotel and Restaraunt major, I took a class called Hospitality Law.  You wouldn&#039;t believe some of the lawsuits we looked at.  The sad thing is that so many of the ridiculus claims won.

I do have something of a soft spot in my heart for the Vietnam veterans though.  I know they went through hell out there, and some have some real disorders.  Claiming Internet addiction because of the war doesn&#039;t seem like one of them.

I think many of us feel sort of an obligation to make veterans happy.  But, I don&#039;t want to see them get away with whatever they want.</description>

		<description>Thanks for the comment on my TT list.  I&#039;m sure the Lord will bring your  lady when it&#039;s time.

Interesting article.  Since he was caught during &quot;working&quot; hours, I believe the employer has a right to fire him.  Well, only if it&#039;s been documented that this is a repeat offense.  If he was on break, that&#039;s a different story.  There is always more to the stories that the media reports.

As far as internet addiction, ah... nowadays, they slap the &quot;addiction&quot; label on just about anything.  Some people are &quot;sue&quot; happy. I have little respect for that.  Then again, that&#039;s just my 1 cent worth.  :o)

Oh, as for your cell phone post, wait for the iPhone.  My Babe is a computer geek.  I say this with pride.  :o)  Before you know it, the price will go down.</description>
