A MODEST PROPOSAL for Supporting Ye 2nd Amendment Gun Rights Whilst Simultaneously Doing Something about Ye Scourge of Abortion
No, not *this* modest proposal, but you're getting warm And so, with the recent events in Las Vegas, the gun death toll continues mounting in what may be the most violent, bloodthirsty, and self-destructive nation in history. I’m talking about the United States of America, of course. This nation’s soil is now drenched not only with the blood of our dead adult citizens but (lest ye forget) also our dead children. Especially notable among these are the deaths of twenty small school children (plus six adults) in Sandy Hook, and most recently, at least as I write this, the fifty dead... more »

"What Is There To Fight For?"
"Life is a beautiful, magnificent thing, even to a jellyfish. The trouble is you won't fight. You've given up. But there's something just as inevitable as death. And that's life. Think of the power of the universe- turning the Earth, growing the trees. That's the same power within you- if you'll only have the courage and the will to use it." - Charlie Chaplin, Calvero's answer to Terry's question: "What is there to fight for?" in “Limelight”, (1952)
"My Own View..."
“My own view is that this planet is used as a penal colony, lunatic asylum and dumping ground by a superior civilization, to get rid of the undesirable and unfit. I can't prove it, but you can't disprove it either. It happens to be my view, but it doesn't challenge any of the findings of Darwin or Huxley or Einstein or Hawking.” - Christopher Hitchens

There is an aspect of the mind that is not useful but pretends to be useful, which is called the egoic mind. It is the aspect of our mind that chats with us as we move about our day.

Chet Raymo, “This View of Life, With Its Several Powers”
* “This View of Life, With Its Several Powers”* by Chet Raymo “Somewhere in his "lost" notebooks Loren Eiseley writes of the pleasure of exploding a puffball in a woodland clearing, or shaking seeds out of their pods. As I recall, he takes a gleeful satisfaction in messing with evolution, in hurrying the process along. I remember identifying with that sentiment when I read it. I like exploding puffballs too. Dropping insects into spider webs. Picking up turtles that are half-way across a road and placing them in a ditch on the other side. Most of all I like breaking off the stalks ... more »

And, in parting from you now, Thus much let me avow- You are not wrong, who deem That my days have been a dream; Yet if hope has flown away In a night, or in a day, In a vision, or in none, Is it therefore the less gone? All that we see or seem Is but a dream within a dream. I stand amid the roar Of a surf-tormented shore, And I hold within my hand Grains of the golden sand- How few! yet how they creep Through my fingers to the deep, While I weep- while I weep! O God! can I not grasp Them with a tighter clasp? O God! can I no... more »
"Just Where You Begin Again..."
"When we're headed toward an outcome that's too horrible to face, that's when we go looking for a second opinion. And sometimes, the answer we get just confirms our worst fears. But sometimes, it can shed new light on the problem, make you see it in a whole new way. After all the opinions have been heard and every point of view has been considered, you finally find what you're after - the truth. But the truth isn't where it ends, that's just where you begin again with a whole new set of questions." - "Meredith", "Grey's Anatomy"

Oct. 6: An Ugly World.
On Thursday, our local papers went wild with indignation when it was officially revealed that a company called Atcon some years ago had hit the government (and the taxpayers) for 60 million dollars. Much of it was wasted and it was, in any case, obviously an extremely bad investment as all that money was lost. Well, New Brunswick governments have a long history of gifts to the wealthy. But most of them don't get mentioned in the irving press. Here's one of them. And it makes Atcon look like a piker. http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/new-brunswick/tax-breaks-irving-oil-1.3889095 _____... more »

Italian MEP Zanni Argues Spanish Factions End Their 'War among the Poor,' and Unite against EU
European Parliament member Marco Zanni (Italy) has intervened into the Spanish crisis by arguing that the factions should end the "war between the poorer and the less poor," and unite their forces to defend the nation-state against the EU dictatorship. Zanni was interviewed by Sputnik, and also posted a longer Facebook statement which integrated the Sputnik interview. In his Facebook post, Marco makes it clear that neither Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy nor the Catalans are on the right side.

Russia's Navy Has One Big Advantage Over America: Battlecruisers
*Robert Farley* *Security, * The last of the big ships? *The battlecruisers also served another strategic purpose; power projection. The Kirovs used an unusual combination of nuclear and steam propulsion to generate a speed of thirty knots, while at the same time providing a backup in case of technical failures. This gave the ships long legs, in addition to extraordinary firepower. The Kirovs were ideal platforms for projecting Soviet prestige, forming the core of task forces that could influence political developments around the world.

Arguments based on this rhetoric are just as dishonest as many other arguments of opponents, whose motivations involve not the terms of the JCPOA but instead other reasons they want to k... more »
