  • Free and fair elections,

    Manipulated by advertising, marketing and propaganda paid by the wealthiest contributors to influence the population. Creating an environment where money and wealth get to decide who gets elected.

    rule of law,

    That can be side stepped, controlled or manipulated by those with wealth and used as a weapon against those with little or no money

    stable governmental institutions,

    That are heavily lobbied, influenced and controlled by those with wealth or corporations and seldom represent the actual will of the people

    individual freedoms,

    Which are constantly challenged or questioned by those with power in an effort to control and manipulate everyone into conforming into inequalitable classes of people.

    and a free and independent press.

    My favorite on this list … free and independent press which are all owned and controlled by the wealthiest billionaires or corporations who allow their media to speak freely as long as they don’t affect their bottom line.



  • This will be the template of what is to come for all of us all over the world.

    Climate caused catastrophes and instead of working together, having patience with government, trying to figure out solutions, working cooperatively … we’ll all protest, fight, get angry with one another and make the situation worse for one another.

    We won’t be working together to deal with the problem or admitting to one another that we are causing the climate catastrophes or doing anything significant to lessen the effects or even change our behaviour … we’ll just protest our governments for not having magical instant solutions to impossible problems.


  • This is what I mean … the choice is either an average politician or an old wing nut orange man … but the choices are so difficult for Americans to decide that many choose neither and never think that they are instead paving the way for the wannabe fascist.

    I can’t believe that the fate of the world hinges on the deranged decisions of a completely confused people. As much as I don’t want to admit that America has so much influence, they do have literal control over much of the world and they do have the largest most powerful military at the moment. So whoever gets to be leader will set the stage for the stability or instability of the world in the next few years. And it’s all riding on ill informed choices of a very ill informed population.





  • A time capsule

    Place photos and some small objects maybe even a usb key, dvdr or cdr with a video of you explaining everything and telling the viewer who you are, what year it is, what’s going on and what’s important to you right now. Place it all in a water tight container, maybe even an iron case and weld it shut.

    If you have small kids, tell them what you’re doing and show them … maybe they or their kids or your descendants might dig it up some day.

    Of all the places I’ve renovated, I would have enjoyed finding something from someone else’s life.

    I’ve always wanted to try a pu pu platter. My wife kept saying it was a dumb idea and for years we never ordered it. My local Chinese restaurant advertised a ‘Flaming Pu Pu Platter’ and I never cared what it would have tasted like, I just wanted to say I ordered it.

    I finally decided on just ordering it one day and I told my wife I didn’t care, I’m getting it.

    The lady who owned the place then told me that they got rid of it a year before because no one ordered it any more.

    Greatest disappointment in my life :(

    I’ve never been able to find a ‘Flaming Pu Pu Platter’ again.



  • More like how America and the American establishment just allow idiots like this to take center stage and let them abuse the country without anyone saying or doing much about it.

    I got tired of calling out lunatics a while ago … I’m more concerned about a country full of people that just allow all this stupidity to represent their government and leadership.

    I’m not calling for a revolution … just for more US citizens to speak up and tell everyone how much they don’t like this or support this. All I hear are the lunatics and never the people they are supposedly representing.

    Yes! Those are the ones … can’t seem to find them any more. All they sell are the cheap sugar ones that I have a feeling is just colored sugar at this point. I know molasses is just sugar too but there is certain strong bitter flavor to it. The old stuff was actual molasses, thick and hard and when frozen (which often happened in the north during Halloween) could be used as a deadly projectile.

    As an indigenous Canadian I can confirm this.

    Both of my parents were born and raised in the wilderness. I don’t mean that they were born in a modern hospital and later raised in the bush. They were born in the 40s in a teepee with the help of traditional midwives.

    Dad was a great hunter and trapper and did all the things you could imagine a hunter and gatherer could do.

    Mom did the same as well, not as much or as well as dad but good enough to survive on her own or with children. She hunted birds, fished and could bring down gut clean prepare butcher moose, caribou, bear, wolf, lynx and any other large animal if she had to … when she was a young woman that is. She could also travel, walk, snowshoe, use dog team, paddle a canoe, portage, sail, and survive alone in the bush for weeks or months on her own. In her prime, she was a far better hunter and gatherer than most men I know now including myself.

    It only makes sense … prehistoric hunters and gatherers didn’t sit around and relegate women to only do certain things. Everyone no matter what gender had to be capable of doing everything in order to ensure and secure the survival of everyone.
