Stop Leak

Recently I learned that my LandRover Discovery had a leaky Head Gasket. Apparently leaks of this kind are typical of this car and model. However, the service manager at my dealer suggested that they try an additive called "Stop Leak." "Stop Leak" has been able to successfully stop the leak of my radiator fluid-and more surprisingly-the repair appears to be holding quite well. I am thrilled and now thinking about other potential applications for this miracle.

Wouldn't it be wonderful if "Stop Leak" was available for private or personally identifiable information improperly exposed on a Web site, or for credit card information stored in a computer that is hacked. "Stop Leak" could be given to people who share information that was provided to them in confidence-or even better "Stop Leak" could be applied to time with family and friends-that always seems to race by too quickly.

That would be priceless!
