The Darkest Evil

I am working on a new film and yes, I am going to be working with some friends of mine to help make it. While I am still looking for a publisher for the book, I have decided to produce the film with Brave New Films, considering their films about bigger evils like Wal-Mart and Fox News. I am going to try to talk with the people at Chapters and at FMV to stock the books and DVDs (respectively), considering that this is a HUGE threat in Canada and abroad. (more…)

Edit: I edited the words to convey my true opinion

Why is this bad? Well, the Internet is a very social network and it was built to be decentralised and an open standard. However, this bill will make it more impossible to run a website with the truth. How so, you ask? Well, here are the reasons MY blog and site would be effected if Net Neutrality were to fail in the states.

1. I tell about my bad experiences of Charter Cable, AOL, Microsoft and all those mother fuckers so once Net Neutrality fails, they will have the power to block my content or make it slower.
2. Advertisements and advertising partners will make less payouts to webmasters and give the ISPs and Telcos more money to prioritise their advertisements. Content is king and it is the reason why the Internet is so successful. Would someone watch 30 minutes of television to see 29 minutes of advertisements as opposed to just 6 minutes of advertisements? Of course not! We would get out a bit more and enjoy life and do other things. And eventually, since we wouldn’t be able to see the benefit of having a “high-speed” internet connection, we’d cancel it in a heartbeat.
3. Do you really think we’d be able to use Instant Messengers from other ISPs? Like if I were using Yahoo!’s DSL programme in the states, do you think that I would be able to gain the same level of connectivity with MSN Messenger, ICQ and AOL IM that I would gain with Yahoo!? Of course not, because Yahoo! would love to try to drive people to help improve it’s market share.
4. Great sites like The Pirate Bay and Boxtorrents would drastically be reduced in popularity as we would probably have an even lower level connection to bittorrent.
5. Firefox is gaining considerable steam and market power. Now, if Net Neutrality fails, it may be that the only browser you will be able to use (if you use MSN or an ISP that works with MSN) is Internet Explorer. That sucks, doesn’t it?

So I approve of Net Neutrality.

Canada is a great nation with a powerful economy and it is one of the finest nations to live in. The United States, on the other hand, is currently making attempts to rob it’s people of their freedoms and liberties. Canada is a very peaceful nation and it provides it’s citizens with help where some people need it the most. Things like health insurance and the vital stuff that could break a normally uninsured person are protected by Canadian law. In the US, to be uninsured is a very dangerous thing. (more…)

Conservatives fail to live the principles of freedom they expound. The problem is not that they set high standards and then fail to meet them, but that they knowingly and deliberately violate them. — The conservative Jacob Hornberger describes the hypocrisy of conservative think tanks such as the Heritage Foundation.

Remember once upon a time, George W. Bush promised to bring Osama bin Laden to justice “dead or alive?�

I know, it was a long time ago. As far back as September 2001. And
it’s not like Bush continued to have that zeal for justice for the
victims of 9/11. Just a few months after Bush made that pledge he said this in regards to a question about bin Laden:

So I don’t know where he is. You know, I just don’t spend that much time on him, Kelly, to be honest with you.

Bringing justice to the families of those who died on September 11,
2001 by capturing bin Laden has fallen so far down the line of
priorities that the Central Intelligence Agency closed Alec Station
late last year. The closure of this unit was confirmed on Monday. (more…)

WARNING! THIS IS IMPORTANT NEWS AND SHOULD NOT BE MISSED. PLEASE MAKE SURE EVERYONE YOU KNOW, KNOWS ABOUT THIS DEVELOPMENT.

As we thought when Stephen Harper got into Office, the Right of Permanent Residence Fee was cut in half. This means that the Right of Permanent Residence Fee is now only $490 CAD and is a lot more affordable. This could be good and it could be bad.

The Good News

• A lower permanent residence fee.

The Bad News

• Citizenship and Immigration Canada wait times might increase.
• If you became/become a Permanent Resident before May 3rd 2006, you don’t get a refund.

If you are looking to get into Canada, NOW’S THE TIME. DO IT BEFORE STEPHEN HARPER GETS OUT OF OFFICE AND THE WAIT TIMES INCREASE!

To be honest, I never thought some people would go THIS far to keep me in the states.

I will state right now: I do not plan to leave my intent to move to Canada. No MySpace petition or anything that frivolous could stop me. The only thing in my way of becoming a Canadian is the CIC.

I would report it to the MySpace.com team but I find this too hilarious to report. I would like to see how far this person is willing to go along with their cherade. However, they did place a picture that makes fun of Stephen Harper and as such, I must contact the office of the Prime Minister.

This morning, I finally cleaned out the clutter in my apartment and now things are looking a bit more organized. I basically just had to leave the UPS package out on the front porch for that damned whiny kid on eBay and run to do my errands.

Okay, let me tell you, it kinda reaffirms your faith in the human race when someone stops and offers to take you the rest of the way to WalMart. Since the store was a couple of miles away, I hopped into that Escalade and was at WalMart in mere minutes. Basically, I just needed to get my paycheque cashed, get my cellular bill paid, get the rest of my cash converted into Canadian and then head back home. (more…)

Okay, now don’t expect me to do this often but I have to speak out against the idiocy in America’s government

Currently industrial hemp is grown in approximately 30 nations such as Canada and the UK. Unfortunately, while industrial hemp is grown freely throughout the world, it is a restricted crop in the United States. It is placed under the jurisdiction of the DEA who refuses to distinguish it from marijuana despite clear chemical and physical differences between the plants. Industrial hemp should be placed under the auspices of the Department of Agriculture. There is currently a bill in Congress, House Resolution 3037 (H.R. 3037) also known as the “Industrial Hemp Farming Act of 2005″, that proposes to amend the Controlled Substances Act to exclude industrial hemp - the non-drug fiber crop - from the definition of marijuana - a drug crop. You can follow the progress of the Industrial Hemp Farming Act of 2005 at the Thomas website. The bill is currently in committee. Write your Representatives and tell them to support H.R. 3037 and American farmers. Interestingly, the Lakota Nation on Pine Ridge Reservation has asserted their tribal rights to grow hemp on tribal lands. It failed at the time with the feds plowing the field under.

A friend of mine posted this on his MySpace Annoucements, it really states one of the idiocies of America so I’ll post it here.

The Lord’s Prayer are not allowed in most public schools anymore

Because the word “God” is mentioned….

A kid in Arizona wrote the attached NEW School prayer. I liked it.

Now I sit me down in school where praying is against the rule
For this great nation under God finds mention of Him very odd.
If Scripture now the class recites, it violates the Bill of Rights.
And anytime my head I bow becomes a Federal matter now.
Our hair can be purple, ORANGE or green, that’s no offense; it’s a freedom scene.
The law is specific, the law is precise. Prayers spoken aloud are a serious vice.
For praying in a public hall might offend someone with no faith at all.
In silence alone we must meditate, god’s name is prohibited by the state.
We’re allowed to cuss and dress like freaks, and pierce our noses, tongues and cheeks.
They’ve outlawed guns, but FIRST the Bible. To quote the Good Book makes me liable.
We can elect a pregnant Senior Queen and the ‘unwed daddy,’ our Senior King.
It’s “inappropriate” to teach right from wrong, we’re taught that such “judgments” do not belong.
We can get our condoms and birth controls, study witchcraft, vampires and totem poles.
But the Ten Commandments are not allowed, no word of God must reach this crowd.
It’s scary here I must confess, When chaos reigns the school’s a mess.
So, Lord, this silent plea I make: Should I be shot; My soul please take! Amen

If you aren’t ashamed to do this, please pass this on.

Jesus said, “If you are ashamed of me, I will deny you before my Father in Heaven.”

Not ashamed. Pass this on.
