to all.
in the coming year, lets try something shall we?
you know the feeling that you get occasionally that takes you back to a time of childhood excitement and unbounded love for the simplest of things?
the feeling we used to get, and some still get, when we anticipate christmas is what i`m talking about.
i know that i have unapologetically criticised the commercialisation of christmas and the social control mechanisms of scaring children and banckrupting adults well into spring, but i`m talking about the essential feel of family, friends and time spent together.
forget he gifts, the malls and parking and stressed out shoppers...that time passed once the shops shut on christmas eve...i`m talking about making gingerbreat houses and cooking turkey and well, just generally being together with people you care about.
my wife thinks i`m a scrooge, and i can see her point...because i`ve been focussing on the negative aspects of crass commercialism and miserable types in cars rushing around last-minute to get their ungfrateful family their demands met. (shit, there i go again).
so my wife (or should i say i finally caught myself and made a decision to change) finally showed my the best part of christmas and i joined in and made gingerbread houses with my step-daughter and her boyfriend, and the vodka helped.
so what i thought we might try is to do this sort of thing more often. not that it has to be gingerbread but it needs to be family, friends or merely celebrating what it means to be excited in a child-like way.
or we can go back to the alternative.

recently.
i saw a debate recently between christopher hitchens and the past prime minister of england, tony blair, in which they debated the pros and cons of christianity.
the discussion was predictable, tiresome and pointless except for the masterful way that each constructed and delivered their point of view.
i guess what struck me most in all of this is that people who deny god outright and those who are merely religious take the same position; that of acting without fact.
and the fact remains so abundantly clear to those without agenda is this; there is something profoundly magical and wonderous going on...and most everyone is missing it.
especially those listening to so-called experts.

really?
http://ca.news.yahoo.com/s/11112010/20/global-temperature-rise-3-5-degrees-c-2035-international-energy.html
only a child or a retard would actually believe this shit.
a child believes most everthing adults tell them, for obvious reasons, and retards can`t tell the difference between fact and fiction.
so, how come there are so many retards on the planet that keep believing this shit?
for anyone who has taken physics or even used a physics textbook to rest a beer on, it is obvious that the ratio of biomass to earthmass is so huge that no matter what the biomss does, it will have no effect whatsoever on the earthmass, even if it converted all of it`s mass to energy instantly.
what the enviro types are saying is that as we have converted biomass to energy, it has raised the temperature of the planet in a number of ways.
one by simply making the planet warmer by burning fuels and raising the temperature of cities, and two by blanketing the planet in pollutions that erode the ozone layer allowing greenhouse gasses to rise, insulating the planet against natural convection of heat.
one is false in that the net biomass is too small to make any kind of difference whatsoever, and two...while clever in the way it encourages us to make pictures in our minds...it misses one simple plain historical truth; that the ozone layers of our planet are dynamic systems that flex and flow like most others, and that holes in the ozone open and close due to many factors without the help of industrial pollution and have done so for billions of years (long before algore was born, suprisingly).
this planet is a huge beautiful place that existed long before we (and algore) did, and will continue to do so long after we are all gone to wherever we are going to and one can lament the mess made by industrial pollution, but guess what folks? without that shit coming out the pipe, we don`t get to have laptops and internet or copenhagen conferences or any other post-indutrial behaviour riding the back of two hundred years of industry.
worst of all? china and india have only just begun to soil thier shorts as it were, and who`s going to encourage them to wipe?

we are already protected from attacks by russian bombers...by the U.S.A. and they have lots of f 35s and all sorts of other really fast jets and weapons waiting for someone stupid enough to threaten their airspace.

many a criminal, when confronted with their crimes, expresses an emotional outburst.
it is normal and healthy to do so, and many a judge will see this as remourse. the beginning of the long and gradual process of making good to society for crime.
this criminal needs to begin the process of paying back to society that which he, and his agency, took...knowing it may take many lifetimes of work.
wash the feet of those who you wish forgiveness from....and look into their eyes.
then, remove the silly hat and the clown costume and begin the work that will ensure that none of your agents do such things again.
can you do that?

you`ve got to be kidding.

a number of things spring to mind here intitially.
firstly; canada has never had it`s airspace attacked, unless you include pigeons.
secondly; what`s wrong with the jets we got recently?
and finally; if we do get attacked, the americans will protect us...it`s in their best interest to do so as we border with them not fifty miles from where i type.
as an addendum, to those paranoid types....if the americans are the ones attacking, it won`t matter that we have a few new jets, because they will have two trillion of them....so i recommend saving the money and doing something useful with the money, like helping the city of burlington finish it`s new pier. (they seem to be struggling a bit).

yep.
consciousness doensn`t necessarily need to operate on an organic substrate.
unless you are a moral dogmatist.
you can explain your position to the machine when it wakes up.....

sorry people, but i don`t wash after a bathroom visit.
not only is it a waste of time, but its certain to be an activity where you are most likely to come into contact with the surface contaminants of the hands of others.
And besides, the bathrooms are cleaned every night at starbucks where i frequent, which is more than can be said for handles on doors, handrails in malls, money, items at the grocery....
the problem we have in a germophobic society is that our immune systems are being weakened by the simple fact that there aren`t enough microbes in sterilised environments to allow our systems to "work out".
and now drunks are beginning to drink the hand clenser provided in public places.
and don`t get me started on peanut allergies.
i went to post a package last week and i was eating mixed nuts from a bag.
the clerk jumped back as if she`d been shot from a cannon.
"i have a peanut allergy" she said from a safe distance.
she then took the package, weighed it and took my money from my hand with any further ado.
i felt like offering her a nut.
we are convinced to behave in more and more illogical ways all the time.
pay attention people, and think things through...unless you want to be like the peanut girl....
