Big duh!

We train em, teach em, and send em out into the world...then we wonder what happened when Frankenstein's monster emerges from these teachings...

Gentlemen frankly what else did you expect?

Great...

Perhaps I picked a good day to come back to the blog world...then again perhaps not. It seems that 'innocent until proven guilty' is just not the case in Canada anymore - see the 'gun crime punishment increased' section of this article from the CBC.

Thanx Stevie H. I really 'appreciate' this conservative 'protection'. What a hero it takes to undermine the judiciary and the most important principle for our system of law - I feel so much 'safer' having to prove my innocence.

Witch burnings anyone?

Nothing really changes

Writing on September 23 2005 I posted a scathing review of the Taser Fad in Canada...

Today the CBC reports on an editorial article from the Canadian medical association journal that calls for the review of taser use and notes that the proponents of taser-mania are in fact those who profit from the sale and manufacturing of these handy little devices...

shocking isn't it?

Some time comin!

Amazing how two years can pass without notice - or rather how two years can happen without the inspiration to post.

This blog is much like my diary - spotted, spontaneous and sporadic :)

Good to be back - post some content soon :)
