And besides you're not even sure you really want to do that.
They might pay you back the money. Not. The burden is on you to
sort this mess out and the worst part is once a relative or
friend steals your identity, it's almost impossible to trust
them again.
We hear about the high profile cases of hackers breaking into

Infant Circumcision
If circumcision were a choice I had to have made, I would have
run frantically from the hospital with my newborn son to protect
him from the procedure. His father would have chased me down,
insisting his son 'look like he did.' All I can say is I'm
terribly relieved I didn't have to live through that. Nor did I
have to make the agonizing choice of protecting my baby from
pain or disrespecting my husband. It would have been a huge
battle of conscience. I was spared and given daughters.

In the spring of 1960, a University of Illinois team disclosed that it had made thousands of tests on 2,500 volunteer subjects with no indication that there is a preventive or a cure for the common cold. At least 70 ... Read the rest of this entry »
