Ya.. I was sittin there agreeing with everything he said and I understood it all, and then at the end he’s like “there’s no rush to get you a trainer tonight.. you know, sometime in the future, talk with your husband” (after I spent 15 minutes nodding and interrupting him saying “maybe later.. but not NOW.. and I’m not dishing out ANYTHING right now… I need to talk with my hubs)

Corksucker. Ugh.

Comment on I have solved the wind power problem. by daniel

But my idea needs a massive outlay of new infrastructure and future technology that is nowhere near adoption yet… so my idea is cooler :)

Though of course it’s just my idea, and just one idea out of many…

Here’s how TVA does it: when excess power is being generated, impellers push water up into a reservoir up 1,000 feet. When power demand is high, they reverse the impellers and let the water drive them, generating excess power.

@ Geof: This should not surprise you in the least.

@ Chris: You know what, I’m disappointed in myself. Rectification coming up.

Comment on Double Standard by IANK

Agreed…

currently the only way an officer can be suspended without pay is after he/she has been convicted of a criminal offence and sentenced to a prison term (Police Services Act 89(6). Which, with our speedy justice system, can take two years or more. All that on the taxpayer’s dollar.

There is a provision that reduces the officer’s pay by what he/she earns by other employment during that period (89(7), but still…

There may be a change on the way though (Lesage Report, 2005)

Don’t use anything Apple whether being their software (itunes) or their products (ipod). There is so many alternatives that are better and are not portentous garbage.

iTunes sucks big time. The worst experience ive had of it was when i found my old CD collection. I spent the time to put them all in a folder, put all the albums in seperate folders, and the singles all together within the music folder i created. I then decided, just incase my computer malfunctioned, and i lost all my “ripped” music from my CD’s to put a copy on my external hard drive. BIG MISTAKE, iTunes deleted all of my Albums and many of my Singles. How can they release something this BAD? No, bad doesnt go far enough, id call it dire, awful, wretched, undescribabley infuriating.
Apple needs to go back to the drawing board. In fact, i wouldnt put it past them to purposely put these god damned flaws in it for Windows so they can pull more of Microsoft’s users away from, in comparison a BRILLIANT operating system.

haha, never thought id say that about Windows.

Loved your post, loved reading the comments. iTunes sucks!

Daniel please excuse the spelling in the previous message as this damned machine seems to have a mind of it’s own.

Well Daniel I agree that controling a speculative market would be dificult but I believe not impossible. Be that as it may be it does not alter the fact that we could get along quite nicely without the overrated influence of a greedy and out of control market place. I agree that our dependance on petro chem products must be replaced by a cleaner susbtitue but what? The search for such a product must continue and high pricing for oil is for sure a deterent but at what immediate cost to our society especialy our younger generation. Until a substitute can be found we must raen in the greedy corporate sector and an out of control speculative market. I would suggest ( heavens to Bettsy) price controls as start. There are no doubt other alternatives but it takes a dedicated that this old mind could not think of but others should. It takes a dynamic government to protect we citizens from this blind rush to demolition. If only the axis powers in the fortys had thought of this approach we would br goose stepping all over the place. There, ive said it as best I can so have a nice day and cheer up we will be ok, ahmen!!!

He’s looking out for the little guy’s vote, I think you’ll find. But that’s okay.

You don’t want to control a speculative world market. You can’t do it. It doesn’t work.

High oil prices are also good for Canada’s future: We need to invest in alternatives. Everyone knows it. High oil prices provide the impetus.

But my problem with McTeague wasn’t that he was proposing bad plans (as politicians are wont to do) but that he was proposing no plan at all. You have at least brought up a bunch of ideas. So good job.

He may be loudmouthed but at least he is concerned for the little guy. It’s people like ypo that know everything. We stupid people know a thing or two about markets, corporate profits and so on. Now that you have set we poor ignoant slobs straight whats. How about creating a domestic pricing system and putting a cap on exporting our natural rescources and creating once more an multi year oil reserve plan. I understand that we once did until big oil and weak government got a hold of our economy. Remember that our democratically electer government runs our country not the corporate sector. Incidentely I also believe that we are the seventh largest oil producer in the world so how’s that grab you. Price controlls are another weapon that we have against the speclative world market but one that will not be used because our governments dont have the balls to do the moral and courageous thing. So I will just get on my good old horse and ride off into the sunset before the speculators cause the price of a bale of hay to go out of sight. Nice talking to you and you have a nice day now

Comment on I wrote to the Toronto Star today. by Anonymous Reformed Interlocutor

Anonymous Reformed Interlocutor — Mon, 16 Jun 2008 00:05:48 +0000

Go for it! Prentice is a social liberal, who claims to be conservative yet is inspired by John Stuart Mill (see here: http://tinyurl.com/5kfkqu ). But, as you point out, he, like the rest of the Tories, is ultimately a shill for the business community, esp. American business interests. Too bad most Bible-believing Christians don’t know or care, or worse, enthusiastically endorse such behaviour.

If he really holds to that Mill quote, why doesn’t the sovereignty he claims individuals have over their own bodies and minds extends to goods they’ve purchased? (Of course, as a Presbyterian, Prentice should know better, but then, the Presbyterian Church of Canada having slipped as far as it has, I doubt if he’s even heard of the Westminster Standards, so I won’t blame him for that.)
