NIMBY
Funny how people have no qualms about sending garbage to another world, but will fight to their deaths not to have garbage next door ...

Stripping on an aeroplane
So they are banning liquids and gels on airplanes because a "terrorist cell" was planning an attack on several flights using liquids bottles and cream tubes.
What's next? Strip searching and x-raying kids and seniors because "terrorists" could be embedding explosives in clothing and inside bodies?
Of course, before this only the criminals knew how to do this, but thanks to the media, everyone now knows how to do it.
Let's see: spend billions on airplane security so a few hundred won't die, but don't spend a cent to stop thousands from being killed (cars, murder, etc).
If we stopped making airplane terrorism a huge news story, "terrorist" would stop blowing them up.

So are you
Israelites and Palestines are fighting, again.
The press are all over this, yet where were they at Somalia, Dufar, etc?
Thousands die and it's a footnote, one dies and it's breaking news.

Pennies From Heaven
The federal goverment promises money for the provinces for transportation, military, and businesses.
Yet, businesses already have money, the tax cuts don't mean much to most canadians, and transportation money will be wasted.
It's more like show and tell than making canadian's life's easier.

Money Me
Oh my God, another federal budget, another list of promises to break and money to waste.
Of course, business like the budget. On the other hand, individuals think they like the budget, but wait till they find out how much it will cost them.
It could be worse, of course ...

(Yes, I'm behind the times ;)
So Canada elected a new Prime Minister (and government).
The funny thing, nothing's changed - so far. All the promises they've made have so far not come true, and don't look like they will.
And to top it off, there's talk of another election being called soon!
Is it me, or do politicians care more about power and greed, and less about citizens?

Women as equals?? Ha!
So the number of women using the Internet are about the same as men? And that's news, how?
On the other hand, the number of women in politics and big business can be counted on one's hands, yet it isn't newsworthy.
