There can be a tomorrow - if you're prepared.

I don't mean to panic you or freak you out, it's just that I can't help but see the writing on the wall. And no, not just the short film "There's no tomorrow". All the signs point to a steady decline in our western civilization. So, my family and I have decided to do as the movie suggests (though the idea came long before the viewing of it) and we're moving out of a our megacity to a smaller more rural town and living as sustainably as our meager income and budget will permit us.

Your Canadian Income Tax refund

After filing their personal tax returns by April 30th, many Canadians will again receive a tax refund.

This is indeed a very exciting program, and I'll explain it in a Q & A format:

Q. What is a tax refund payment?
A. It’s money that the federal government will send to taxpayers.

Q.. Where will the government get this money?
A. From taxpayers.

Q. So the government is giving me back my own money?
A. Only a smidgen of it.

Q. What is the purpose of this payment ?
A. The plan is for you to use the money to purchase a
high-definition TV set, thus stimulating the economy.

Q. But isn't that stimulating the economy of China?
A. Shut up.


Below is some helpful advice on how to best help the Canadian economy by spending your tax refund wisely:

* If you spend the stimulus money at Wal-Mart, the money will go to China or Sri Lanka.

* If you spend it on gasoline, your money will go to the Arabs.

* If you purchase a computer, it will go to India, Taiwan or China.

* If you purchase fruit and vegetables, it will go to Mexico, Honduras and Guatemala.

* If you buy an efficient car, it will go to Japan or Korea.


* If you purchase useless stuff, it will go to Taiwan.

* If you pay your credit cards off, or buy stock, it will go to management bonuses and they will hide it offshore.

Instead, keep the money in Canada by:

1) Spending it at yard sales, or

2) Going to hockey games, or

3) Spending it on prostitutes, or

4) Beer or

5) Tattoos.

(These are the only “truly” Canadian businesses still operating)

Conclusion:

Go to a hockey game with a tattooed prostitute that you met at a yard sale and drink beer all day!




A very special Valentine

Can I just say what a gift to thoughtful people Jon Stewart is?
I have been an avid viewer of The Daily Show, and Jon Stewart in general for a couple of decades and I have to say that he is getting better and better.
I realize that he doesn't do all the writing himself, and I extend a "Thank you" to his writing staff, they are witty, bold and pithy. My kind of people.


Where's the honour?

Religion makes people do insane things. Makes them believe incredibly insane things.

Now don't get me wrong. I am not picking on any one religion. To my way to thinking, they are all equally insane making.

Go ahead and tell me that religion doesn't make people insane.
The headlines are daily and endless, and I don't even have to research anything, they're everywhere I turn.

I would like very much to find just ONE religion that doesn't fit this stereotype. Anyone?

It gives our male dominated society an excuse for their antiquated, outdated and misogynistic attitudes. Things like gender of the child. Science has taught us that it is the male that determines the gender of the child, but still, in this day and age of advanced medical technology, women are still blamed if they birth a daughter.
When they are born into this world, they are treated like chattel. Told both in their homes and in their communities, that the only value they have is to breed. And if they know what's good for them, they best produce a male. Especially some cultures (Muslim, Chinese, Asian overall) seem to be seriously stuck in the 13th century. When will they acknowledge that they are certifiably insane? They kill their women, mutilate them, abuse them in ways that are too grotesque to fathom, all in the name of some "God". Nuts, just plain wacko.

Tired of the politically correct that do as much harm by not speaking up as those that perpetrate these abuses.
