Reloaded: Your Corporatocracy At Work

2012-04-30T13:00:00.000-04:00

Back there, I endeavored to illustrate how Big Business interests keep being embedded with our government's policy-making, going as far as dictating how laws are written - all thanks to compliant politicos and with the sole purpose of serving the interests of Big Business. In addition, I've made much on APOV (one recent example here) of Prime Minister Harper's (and his government's)

Anti-Science Harper: Whereby I Say (Again) - Q.E.D.

2012-04-18T00:35:00.000-04:00

Back there, some two years ago, I discussed how Harper and his Harpies shut down the Canadian Foundation for Climate and Atmospheric Sciences (CFCAS), all the while spinning about keeping it funded and even going as far as lying about what they were actually doing. One of the points I made as "note added in proof" was the following: Indeed - ever since Harper and Co. took power in early

A Simple Statement Of (Rationalist/Atheist) Creed

2011-12-11T21:10:00.006-05:00

It is high time to realize that it is not wise to continue indulging irrational, ideology-driven, religious-driven, science-rejecting, mendacious, folks by allowing them to spew their bullshit without being called upon it - for the lame sake of "civility". Allow me to offer to you my argument why:For too long now, too numerous people out there have been allowed a veritable destructive wide range

Apology Of A Poseur

(The following was inspired by Deepak Chopra's quackery-laden and hypocritically self-serving review of Richard Dawkins' book, The Magic of Reality. And yes, I do use herein a lot of Deepak Chopra's very own arrogant, self-condemning words. Enjoy).I find myself saddened - yet also outraged - by Richard Dawkins’ latest written offering, an intellectually dishonest waste of paper titled The Magic

The Darkness Strikes Back

2011-08-30T13:57:00.009-04:00

I've begun a series of video-essays on YouTube (my channel is here) titled "Welcome to our Semi-Dark Age". The first episode is now up (in three parts, due to time length restrictions by YouTube) - hopefully, my skills at video recording/editing will improve as I make more videos. Similarly, my pronunciation of English words remains a work in progress ... In any case, I've embedded herein the

Late Friday Night Ode To ... The Future (Again)

2011-04-01T19:00:00.005-04:00

Yet another war, another election campaign (Canada), Christian fundamentalists posing as Conservatives doing everything they can to impose their religious views and beliefs (Canada and USA), so-called liberals/progressive/democrats cowering or triangulating while still not doing much to prevent the Christian fundie march (Canada, USA), the majority of the electorate more ignorant, uninformed and/

Forecast: Grim With Heavy Chances Of Losing Country

2011-04-01T13:50:00.002-04:00

Still insanely busy, but I just can't remain silent on the current electoral campaign ...I mean, the ongoing electoral campaign that began months ago (you know, before everyone actually proclaimed that *now* we're running elections?) - but I digress.In any case, polls still tend toward two most likely outcomes: a CPC minority again, or an actual CPC majority.Hopefully soon I'll expand my opinion

Late Friday Night Ode To ... Peaceful Democratic Uprisings

2011-02-04T19:52:00.000-05:00

Back there last Saturday, I wrote the following:As we applaud our Tunisian and Egyptian brothers and sisters, let us keep firmly in mind that it is they whom are bravely uprising in order to win their birthrights of freedom and liberty that are the bona fides teachers here - whereas we are naught but de facto spoiled pupils in dire need of lessons in democratic civic responsibility, vigilance and

Meanwhile, Back In Utopia Democratica ...

First Tunisia and now Egypt.One can only rejoice at seeing people taking their aspirations for civil rights and freedoms into their own hands, courageously claiming these justly as their undeniable birthrights as human beings and steadfastly demanding said birthrights out of the corrupt authoritarian classes that have been selfishly and mercilessly ruling their nations.Indeed, one can only

The Harper Government In A Nutshell

2011-01-23T14:15:00.003-05:00

Just in case it has not yet sunk in how incompetent are Harper and his Harpies in matters of governance and responsible budgetary spending:1- They spent some $2 millions last year in a narcissistic exercise of monitoring what the media says about them - you know, so as to better manipulate/control/spin their messages (re: lies) and be able to make corrections swiftly to that effect if need be;2-
