Behind a lot of it.
I was reading the news this morning as I always do cause I have alerts set up and delivered to my email box throughout the day. (self-imposed torture) It's incredible how so many things that are just wrong are going on today at the hands of profiteers. Profiteers being way too nice of a term for them, these acts not only just hurt the American people, it kills them. Not to mention so many others around the world. These scondrels are so blantant about it all as well, and have so many that voted for them fooled into thinking they represent them. I read about Halliburton (Cheney's company) subsidiaries double billing for soldiers meals in Iraq or charging $100 per bag of laundry. In addition to $Billions in Iraq contracts handed to them from Bush, they now will be profiting hugely from no bid contracts in the Katrina recovery. The new bankruptcy law (republican sponsored) that takes affect in October will no doubt crush the Katrina victins even further if that's possible. I have a Niece and a Nephew who are in the military and were sent to Louisiana shortly after Katrina and reported back that they were given orders to NOT take action to help. At least they're not in Iraq right now getting killed to support Bush's war profiteers. New Jersey is chasing down gas stations that go against the law and sell regular gas marked as premium and raise their prices 4 or 5 times during the same day. Ton's of bad stuff.
That led me to think of regging another domain (sheesh!) to maybe serve as a blog to just dump every article documenting whats wrong with stuff. It's these whims that drive me nuts (or entertain if I'm in a good mood to start). Anyway, I looked up WhatsWrong.com and of course I'm too late and it was regged 5 years ago in December, 2000. Going for a backup, I also tried JustWrong.com and that one was regged a year earlier in November, 1999. There was some recurring realization that came from this exercise though. Domains that end in .com and have meaning were all taken several years ago, so get on with development and quit wasting time checking whois records.
