Government Priorities

Wouldn't it be nice if the government would finally decide which is worse for human’s health and safety before telling us what we can do and what we cannot do?  I’m referring to this smoking habit and  consumption of alcohol. All I have to say about smoking, I will agree that smoking is bad but not as bad as the consumption of alcohol and drugs.

Alcohol attacks the liver and can bring on death.  It drives some people to commit all kinds of crimes.  Some abusers end up in rehab or in hospitals. Smoking can bring on death just as well from blocked arteries and blood cloth and plaque on the heart and arteries but it doesn't drive a person to commit crimes like alcohol and drugs do. I realize that these bad habits affect the brain but smoking regular tobacco is the less of the three evils I mentioned.  Drugs can be as bad or even far worse than alcohol depending on the type of drug.  

I know the government goes after both druggies and smokers. Smoking though, has less effect the user’s brain and is the least dangerous one as far as violence and crime are concerned. But it seems to be the most picked on. One law where it’s against the law to smoke (and I agree with), is no smoking in an automobile when there are kids aboard.  But that's a bit of an exception.  Most anti-smoking laws are not so logical.

One law I find stupid and I mean stupid is the law in many places that forbids smoking outside in the fresh air. I just don’t see the logic in that. I can even understand not smoking in a closed in area, but not outside. 

Some will say as a defense of this law that there could be kids around and it could give them the idea of trying it. In the meantime it’s all over the TV. Turn the TV on and most of the time the actors or actresses light up or are already smoking.

Kids these days get most bad habits at school and from video games or watching TV (and to be fair, in some homes also). My only bad habit that I know of is smoking and I will keep on smoking till the day I die. I don’t indulge in any consumption of alcohol and I’m not hurting anyone, so stay the hell out of my private life. That means anyone - including the government.

Have a good day.

The trial of Casey Anthony

I don’t know why, but I can’t get the trial of Casey Anthony out of my mind for the simple reason, that I think they have accused the wrong person in Casey Anthony. I think that the murder of her daughter was committed not by her but by someone else. I think I have a good idea has to who did it to frame Casey.

What I heard and observed what went on in the court room at her trial, plus the fact to what was said on a video that was just out on Fox.  News by her lawyer, convinced me that she was more or less framed by the killer.  This video that I mentioned that I happened see, got me thinking about it again. I've loaded it below but it seems to load quite slowly - so I've added the link.

I would suspect at least two more people of killing Casey Anthony's child other than Casey Anthony herself.  One suspect stands out more in my mind after seeing the conduct of both of these people in the court room.  

Unbelievers

More and more often, we hear about non-believers (or unbelievers as I call them) not wanting to hear about anything that would refer to God, or any objects that would hint of any kind of religious beliefs. A lot of it comes out in the United States around Christmas displays in government buildings.  These are the type of people that have no faith - except perhaps in themselves.  It's okay to have faith in yourself, but it's also okay to have faith in God if that is how you feel.

End of the World?

There are a lot of predictions about the end of the world. The end of the world will come, not from the invisible entity we call God but by stupid human beings that are fighting for power and also over differences in faith. They are the ones that will destroy us all (and themselves). Here is what a scientist from NASA has to say about this rumor of the end of this world on the 21st of this month.

These fears are based on misinterpretations of the Mayan calendar. On the 21st, the date of the winter solstice, a calendar cycle called the 13th b'ak'tun comes to an end. Although Maya scholars agree that the ancient Maya would not have seen this day as apocalyptic, rumors have spread that a cosmic event may end life on Earth on that day. 

Thus NASA's involvement. The space agency maintains a 2012 information page debunking popular Mayan apocalypse rumors, such as the idea that a rogue planet will hit Earth on Dec. 21, killing everyone. (In fact, astronomers are quite good at detecting near-Earth objects, and any wandering planet scheduled to collide with Earth in three weeks would be the brightest object in the sky behind the sun and moon by now.

"There is no true issue here," David Morrison, an astrobiologist at NASA Ames Research Center, said...

Liberals - Federally and Provincially

I turned radio station CFRA at around 12pm a few days back, just in time to listen to a big line of bull from a Mr. Garneau, who is running for the leader of the Liberals.  The way he was praising the Liberals,  was silly.  Mr. Garneau, the only thing the Liberals are good for, is to raise taxes and run everything down. What about the ad scam in Québec and what about running down the Provinces of Ontario and Québec from have provinces to have not provinces? What about this health tax of $200.00 that the Liberals came out with in these provinces?
