In 1985, this guy moved to introduce a bill to amend the Criminal Code to require that every unborn child be represented by legal counsel at therapeutic abortion committees across the country.

You read that right: the Criminal Code.

He is also quoted as saying on July 27, 1988:

"It appears that there is widespread acceptance of the notion that a mother should have the right to control her body. There is no such right."

Well, personally I don't have a uterus, hence unable to become pregnant, I don't know what else I should say here. I just hope that theres at least one female out there who will not hold it forever against me that I have my own opinion as a man, my own person,..

and would agree with me its good to spout off my opinion on some things and on other things, agree with me its better to keep my own mouth firmly shut.

This is one of those things.

Apartheid, violent crime...and one dead Dr.
Mood:  don't ask
Topic: Crime and Punishment

This looks interesting:

 - -

A woman with the resolve required to write objectively about the circumstances that led to her brothers death.

A small-town doctor killed by another doctor.

 --  -

Another movie of the week? I hope not but if they ever do, "Still Waters" might be a good title.

Additionally, such renewed focus might help bring up the change so desperately required.

 

In 2006, 18 kids aged 12 to 17 were accused of homicide in the 39 slayings in Manitoba.

Alberta was a distant second with less than half that number, and all other provinces had less than five.

Manitoba and Alberta also each reported that youths accounted for about one in four persons accused of homicide, the highest proportion among the provinces.

 

Experts say what drives the higher numbers in Manitoba is poverty in isolated First Nation communities, drug and alcohol use and participation by youths in gangs.

 

Violent crime on the rise

- - - -

Also in the news...just in case you forgot about the post-Apartheid era long enough to realise it's over, but, its still not over.

The corporations who were er,uhm...complicit in apartheid era crimes are being sued to the tune of 400 billion dollars.

Lost cousins..PLUS big problem in little Thailand
Mood:  special
Now Playing: In this issue
Topic: Entertainment

 German explorer Chris Breier had already travelled the length of the Yukon seven times by the time he realized his long lost cousin, Ralf Breier, was a filmmaker.

The two had not spoken in more than 30 years since losing touch as children.

 

 Ralf Breier, director of a new documentary about two men was in Yellowknife retracing Alexander Mackenzie's journey.

SOUND BYTES

After more than 60 years of flying adventures, including hazardous ventures into the heart of wartime Germany, Peter Garrison died the way no pilot would want to.

While friends and family mourned the death of a local flying legend, they were trying as well to deal with the fact that Mr. Garrison perished when the beloved aircraft he had owned since 1974 inexplicably slammed into a high-rise apartment building, injuring two of the occupants.

- -

So how would you like it if I posted on YOUR message board: "How not to fly an aeroplane", or, "Mini- 911"....

A spokeswoman said members of his immediately family were too distraught to talk to the media about their loss.

Carry on Flaggers carry on...heres more jokes for your margins

RYP youre a joke too
Mood:  a-ok
Topic: News on News

Certainly he called AQ non-existent. I suppose a figment of the collective imagination of we idiot readers and the American government and the entire European citizenship.

I take some umbrage at what this has become to be about.

There has to be at least a small reserve , no matter how small, to take into consideration that healthy respect for human life.

From a man who is tasered at YXS, to a World war veteran who has an accident and loses his life flying into a highrise also in Vancouver,

to a terrorist attack in Pakistan, it really doesnt matter. From one person losing their life to a taser attack, to 138 people dying in a bombing...

...when you joke or make fun of even one person dying, or use it as an excuse to crack a joke to call attention to your wit, you bring forth the same amount of disrespect as if it were 138 people(Pakistan is in turmoil) ; regardless of nationality...life is sacred.

I know there is such thing as gallows humour, but the same type of joke played over and over again is just cloying. esp after you consider the fact how often enough Paris,Britney and Pamela are all so often all easy prety and targets for bouts of humour. 

Stupid idiots, not a thing about the former Burma. Maybe one stale entry posted a total of NINE days after it was originally written

oh well, heres one about a postcard that took considerably longer.

ON a recent Tuesday inside the Louvre, the German artist Anselm Kiefer was standing on a piece of scaffolding high in the air, relaying instructions to a group of men manipulating a crane

Stalking Mach from the Flag
Mood:  a-ok

Hey y'all...it's what his name...

 uhm uhm uhm...Missys son.

I m just guessing but he sounds like the same type of character responsible for such laughable utterances as "attention Black Flag vapid stooges" and handles such as "Patriotic Rooster" etc etc

What the hell was his name again? Probably KNow_ISlam as well.

The original FUG as if there could ever be more than one.

 

 

 

Not bad but not my type.

Stevie Nicks in the news...

listening to single solo releases releases from former Fleetwood Mac members Lindsay Buckingham and Stevie Nicks (respectively)...

I wondered what had become of these 70's music icons who took thier followings with them into brief periods of popularity into forays into the 80's...and somewhat; if only little: beyond

read:

"...a cliché-ridden, lifeless prose of the most junior-high variety." 

-

and this:

Former Fleetwood Mac singer STEVIE NICKS was stunned to discover how her use of aspirin to calm the effects of cocaine could have completely destroyed her nose. The legendary American star, 59, struggled to kick her cocaine addiction for over 10 years and only managed to quit the drug after a spell at the Betty Ford Clinic in California in the 1980s. And Nicks admits she had no idea how harmful her pain relief methods would be for her facial features. She says "I'd melt an aspirin in water, take an eye dropper and put the aspirin up my nose to take the pain away, without knowing that aspirin dissolves anything. "My nose could have collapsed."

and this one from The Independent

Stevie Nicks: Rock follies

Stevie Nicks, the singer-songwriter and other-worldly star of Fleetwood Mac, is one of pop’s great survivors. Now 59, she talks to Andrew Gumbel about her music, her famously turbulent love-life and the importance of not doing heroin

UH OH, someone has posted a comment threatening to report for abuse to Tripod authorities. Heck!

I have this to say, to quote some nobody named ADRONO :

 " The subjectifying and the objectifying of music are the same".

-  -

Just as art and science are irremovable from mainstream society thanks to our governments protection.

Er, actually, strike that, they "can only be fostered by the free flow of mutual influence among all contemporaries."

 So sayeth a man named Goethe.
