Do you want to reset your password?

Jeezus-after spending 15 minutes trying to recover my password for this ULTRA HIGH SECURITY blog, I'm all spent-I can't even remember what it was I wanted to write about-I even hesitate to publish this rant, but, what the hell.
Don't y'all feel as if this password thing is almost akin/parallel to the latest trend in ultra-sanitation? We can wash and wash-all it does is make us more susceptible to infection. Seems like the more we block our "virtual" doors, the harder it is to get in-it's almost as if we're leveling the playing field and having as tough a time as the bad guys to access what we (in theory) already own. I'm also finding this true fior banking-why am I being charged to take out my own money? If you want to see how this works, simply make ANY sort of transaction over the new wunderkind, the bank called Paypal. Not only is interest collected on your money, but any movement you cause within your account makes the bank more money.
In the true way of the curmudgeon, I eventually see sites charging fees for changes we make to our passwords. So not only will we invest our precious time with these "essential" and virtual padlocks, we'll soon be paying for what we didn't even want in the first place.
Doesn't sound too preposterous to me, considering how much I've got to pay the bank to hold my money. Stuffing the cash in one's mattress might not be so far-fetched, after all.
