I heard the news today, oh boy
Zorro dons his mask to save California from corrupt Europeans, who are attempting to block the future state from becoming a part of the United States.
That sure sounds interesting, like a history
lesson that is relevant even today. Speaking of movies, I have to say
that I am a bit confused about the new Will Ferrell movie, "Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby".
When I have seen ads for this movie, apparently it is a comedy about
how stupid the racecar crowd and their fans are and how they tend to
eat certain stereotypical foods. But in some other ads that I have seen
in a couple of American channels, this movie is apparently about a
heroic American racecar driver who shows an effete French driver who is
the boss. Something fishy is obviously going on around here, and I will
not rest until I have found out what it is.
In local news, the article "Missing Boys Safe As Police Standoff With Pedophile Ends Peacefully"
informs us that the chase of a known pedophile who had snatched a ten-
and a fourteen-year-old boy ended after a ten-hour negotiation in an
abandoned farmhouse. Good for them. Funny, it's like a remember reading
something about adult men having sex with boys who are only fourteen...
damn it, I just don't seem to remember what it might have been... oh,
perhaps it wasn't anything important. But let's hope that the Canadian
government takes a hard line against the men who want to have sex with
teenage boys, and at least makes damn sure that such men won't be
working as camp counselors or in other jobs where they would be in
unsupervised contact with children.
North America has been
scorching under a record-level heat wave, and the Toronto area was not
spared either. In fact, it has recently been so hot around here that "IESO Extends Power Warning As Heat Wave Continues"
as the demand for electricity is peaking. Hey, this might be a good
time to shut down all nuclear reactors in Ontario, just like those
greens and environmentalists are always demanding. To cover up for
this, well, turning off the AC from all those cranky grannies sure
would save more than just a few "negawatts"! After all, isn't it irresponsible
to keep running such dangerous and unproven technology in our
short-sighted rat race for a higher material standard of living so that
we could buy more crap? Wouldn't everybody be happier
if we lived more like all those enlightened primitives, naturally and
authentically respecting the feminine side of humanity under the loving
gaze of Mother Nature?
As I wrote earlier, I am rooting for the
global warming to take place, since I see it as such a cosmically
poetic justice towards all environmentalists and their scare tactics to
oppose the clean and efficient nuclear power. Since the only real
alternative to nuclear energy is burning hydrocarbons in their various
forms, opposition to nuclear power means being objectively for coal,
gas and oil, which means global warming. Here in the rich Ontario and
pretty much the whole Canada in general, global warming is unlikely to
have any bad effects and will mostly improve the general quality of
life, so I delight in imagining how some leftist activist who, with a
ciggy hanging from his pierced lip while he tells us all about how
nuclear electricity causes cancer and how a single nuclear accident
would destroy all human life, finds out what the global warming will do
to his beloved Third World. To which, despite all his talk, he is no
hurry to actually relocate.
Great article! Just a dumb engineer, but I appreciated it greatly.
Couldn't get to the Steve Dutch article re: the worlds most toxic value system. Any chance of a new link?
