Would you have previously have believed out of all things, there is actually a magazine - journal called

EMOTION? Probably pretty boring, too. ;)

 Try this instead. Guaranteed by Mach to..

"But instead you used the online world to be petty and self centered and now you want to use that reason for banning you as a human rights violation.

Oh, and to make a buck too.

And needless to say I do not want to hear you whining about me publishing your e-mail. I did not publish the kajillion e-mails you sent me before but once it is in my inbox, its mine..and I will do with it as I please. "

 

The key thing to remember is that I never even wrote any letter for the purpose of your enjoyment, let alone the worlds.

Few people would diagree the proper thing to do is either politely dispose of it in a delete recycle fashion (same as you would)  or make a response with the "Reply" button.

But challenging someone on a public message board while denying them a fair chance to reply seems its plausible to suggest that your sole intent was to libel while making a mockery of human rights.

The same as I would be by suggesting you leave a comment for all below (while knowing I have the 'Allow Comments' feature tweaked to : "OFF")

Being petty and self-centered are not good enough causes for libel,harrasement . You can ASSERT your right to publish emails as you please ; without a doubt. But your mere assertion of that as a fact (I will jaywalk on the street today as I please) doesnt make your assertion stand without consequence anymore than mine would be if I dared to test an officers skill in jaywalking in front of him/her.

Bottom line is your casual deference from my assertions were killed dead in the water the minute you decided to violate your own Terms of Service.

So understand this: I really dont care if you violate your own TOS.

But why did you just not say the same words in a return email rather than risk violating the sanctity of principle of your own TOS?

Doesnt that mean you intended to cause harm and inflict malice?

Im waiting.

Someone also did a drive by of the recent rockslide in Oliver, BC.

 Forest is burning near enough to my locale to make the air feel a touch heavy, the hint of soot, and dark clouds spot blotch the far horizon. When the view from the sun was obstructed at sunset, the smoke filtering mixed with the pictureesque sunset caused an almost eerie effect. The sun visible in outline like a huge red-orange orb behind the single stream of mixed clouds and smoke. O

 

 Well.

Heres to the endless winding road and the yearning for new horizons.

.... sure, they can put my letters online and open book out of my private heart but they cant take away my Neil Diamond, Barbara Streisand, Celine Dion CD collection.

....with a note to self: blogging/writing can be an expensive time consuming endeavor and while may seem like a good way to boost creativity, can actually have a reverse affect of sapping it in other areas of life that may be in more dire need a creative influx more than the Internets web.

As far as I know , there is NO BOOK or self-starter guide called/entitled

Not even for dummies. But there is a  web site

"Why We Lie is a wide ranging discussion of the uses of dishonesty in public and private life, a polemic that includes Rowe's views on climate change and the global credit crisis, seems like her answer to some of the world's problems.

Psychology, for Rowe, is the science of living in the real world, and she has thrown off all caution to declare what she believes to be the truth about everything."

Fascinating stuff. Her new book is "a tale of survival"

Great little story today in the paper about a Vietnamese refugee who overcame enormous odds to attain a Masters Degree in Psychology.

As a child, I remember the "boat people"; as they were patly named, both from television news reports and smiling faces in this community of Prince George many years ago.

Saying Hello to us was a experience shrouded in bubbling over joy.

Even with the weather as nice at is, it's good to start with a daily dose of inspiration .....

Read on about

Quyn Le's world before even arriving in this country to start her road to education.

 WOW!

Conde Nast Johansens readers voted Wickaninnish Inn as the Most Excellent Romantic Hideaway in North America for 2010 .

Where to Stay to Watch Storms in Western Canada. If you have the coin, this might be the place to go to rejuvenate your senses this year if you are tired of sensory assault from theme park rides.

This is where they should really have the next G-8 and G-20. The Coast Guard and Navy could just blockade the area , the RCMP could provide road spot checks and the army reserve could mask patrol the forests with Alsatian hounds. Bill? 2-3 million. Anyway! :)))))))))))

 ))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))

That little preamble brings me to what will surely be the touchstone event memorable for years to come, as a lot of eyes and ears on Toronto this month with the reports of escalating costs and tax money being spent continue to overshadow and drown out anything this lavish expensive endeavour of hobnobbing of nation states hopes to accomplish. Or, pardon moi-,...is that the drub and clamour of noisy protesting I hear?


 

Meanwhile, I was able to lend my heart and mind to the unfolding of events in Winnipeg, Manitoba earlier this evening to watch the sun shining through deciduous trees, the birds chirping, as CPAC had taped the live ceremonious opening of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission.

Heard any news about BP other than criminal investigations and lawsuits, whistleblowers, public relations disasters, fired ("let-go") executives, desecrateds birds and beaches, movie star actors with cleanup machines and company supply side economic tinkering?

Let the spin-offs begin. (PS And dont forget New Mexico.)



Meanwhile, huge news in B.C. with far reaching international implications is a scathing report that thoroughly patches together the jigsaw puzzle of events that brought about the use of stun guns to cause the death of a Polish national at Vancouvers International Aeroport.

A lot of people are concurrent with the thought that it is just totally bewildering and mind-boggling and gasping to think that a non-English speaking person could be , in such a security conscious era,  be even ALLOWED to wander about lost, without even a thought towards his well being, let alone an action.
