Thoughts on the world and the things in it.
One of my favorite shows is “Until debt do Us Part” with Gail Vox-Oxlade. To be honest the show just makes me feel supior because I am not as monumentally stupid with my money as the people she helps on the show. The average Canadian student who leaves school with …
I have been thinking about prejudice today. I was talking with a co-worker today about why everytime someone speaks out against Isreal they get labelled an anti-Semitic. I posed this question in response to the news frenzy around the Anti-Racism Summit and the response to the President of Iran’s speech. My …
Hi Danny, Let me say I am thrilled with your efforts. I love seeing people get active in what they believe. Keep it up! I will add a link to my blogroll to help promote your efforts. However, I’m afraid your math is wrong. It is not a lot of …

If you notice in our media the enemies are “killed” or “eliminated” while our soldiers are “slain”. The terminology is different because …
Following Seth Godin’s adviceI will share one of the ideas I had for a business. I have shared it with others, after making them sign NDA’s which was really stupid. I should have just shared. If they run off with the idea and make a million dollars then good for …
Big Brother police to get ‘war-time’ power to demand ID in the street – on pain of sending you to jail
