Today is Independence Day in America, so even though it will not be popular to analyse this, I am going to do it anyway. Once the declaration of Independence was written and came to the attention of the British press, (A country who did not believe in slavery) their reaction was to point out how hypocritical this document was.
1- The person who wrote the paper was a slave owner.
2- One third of signatories of said papers where also slave owners.
3- Women where not included.
4- Blacks where not included.
5- Native people where not included.
6- Men who own no land or properties where not included.
Some will say things have changed since then, there was after all the civil war to end slavery, the Union vs. the Confederacy, but again the hypocrisy is still visible. The Union at the start of the war had eight pro slave states and the confederacy had seven. Those who win wars write history.
Millions of native people died in the war of expansion, nations disappeared from the face of the earth.
It took until the 1900 to have women declared persons and the 1960’s for blacks and natives to get the same rights.
Today, we still have reservations for natives, ghettos for blacks and women who dare to try for high office, are attacked in the media and so are their children when we do not agree with their opinions.
But now they have a black American as President, will the mistake of the past be fixed?
Reservations are going to stay, ghettos will continue and if women dare to usurp men’s position of power, they will be put down, unless it parallels what they want them to do. Giggle, washing dishes, barefoot, pregnant, preferably boys…Just thought I would point it out.
Happy Birthday America. You still have a long way to go.
Now am I wrong???

The worse kind of people
The my space conviction on lori drew, the nag who passed herself as a teen boy to tell a teen girl she was ugly and the world would be better of without her, found a nut of a judge and got her conviction overturned. Megan Meier, the young lady who committed suicide could of been any of our daughters. This has got to be the worse of things an adult could ever do, it is abuse and a perversion of the mind. The life of a teen is hard enough without having such a nag, who probably is not happy with her own looks, do such a thing against what was a very pretty young lady. This nag, lori drew, will hopefully be pointed out by all responsible parent who always have fear their children coming across such evil. It is not enough just to point to a nag who has caused the death of a child, her picture and what she did should be pasted all over the Internet. As we see her on TV or Internet you can see she has no care or worries about what she did, and that is the most dangerous people in the world, those are the ones who have no spirit, and that is what evil is. I do support any kind of laws that would punish such behavior been a father myself, everyone is responsible for their action and should be answerable to some kind of cyberbullying law.
Hopefully their will be a “Megan Meier Cyberbullying Prevention Act,” a bill introduced last year by Rep. Linda Sanchez (D-Calif.), introduced here in Canada, before something like this happens and we loose one of our kids to such disgusting behaviour.

The buzzards are circling
I was not going to say anything about the entertainer, but this first of what will be many feedings, really is obvious. Debby Rowe the presumed mother of Jackson's kids, who as not been around in their lives and gave up all rights to the kids, supposedly, as seen the light all of a sudden. I am sure it has nothing to do with all the money they will inherit.
It has always been my belief that the guy, might just of been a very nice person who liked to surround himself with kids, he was never found guilty of anything. Yes he paid off a few, but to prevent the court ordeals maybe it was for the best. A lot of high profile child stars when to neverland ranch and if something would of happened then all hell would of broken loose. It did not and from what I have seen so far, nothing really took place that was wrong.
We live in a society, where been nice to kids, because of a few perverts, is not allowed, and all the protection, happiness is lost because of our paranoia...
What is the lesson here, do not be extra nicer to children, you might be a pervert...
What a frigging world.

New laws to kill internet privacy
Bill 46 and 47, which Harper is trying to pass is another play at taking freedoms away under the name of fighting terrorism. I understand the capabilities of some groups like al Qaida to be able to use the web to pass their messages, but to include all in that bill is terribly dangerous. What is stopping them to grab some other rights at a later date? The balance of excesses by the police or governments always had been the court warrant. Now, lo and behold, what they always wanted, to search without balance is now within their grasp. They are using the threat of terrorism to take away the balance in the justice system and no one is saying much about it, until we wake up some day and see most of out privacy gone by the wayside. Only then will people realize they acted to late.
The only thing I agree with these bills is fighting child porn on the web, this scourge has to be wiped out, one way or another. Here is a way, put them away for the rest of their lives, instead of just a couple of years. Horsewhip them in public? They would have all my support and most of us, but do not use that to take away the rights of the majority of Canadians. Do not put us in the same category. I have to admit, putting this section in with the whole kit n caboodle is a stroke of political genius. Who in their right mind would dare to criticize it now? However, if one reads the whole thing, it pretty well includes every aspect of internet use. Take away rights a little bit at a time and al Qaida are the ones who gave then the opportunity. I mean, if we loose rights over the idea of fighting terrorism, who wins this war on terror, in the 70’s the argument was, “they want us to take away our way of life and we wont let them, we are a free society” . What happened with that thought, have we conformed to the wave of fear? Have we given up? I don't know maybe it's just me, maybe we should all conform to 1984.
Here is some of the bill, read carefully.
Free police to access information on an Internet subscriber, such as name, street address and e-mail address without a search warrant.
Force Internet service providers to freeze data on hard drives to prevent subscribers under investigation from deleting potentially important evidence.
Require telecommunications companies to invest in technology enabling them to intercept all of the Internet communications they handle.
Allow police to remotely activate tracking devices already embedded in cell phones and certain cars.
Allow police to obtain data about where Internet communications are coming from and going to.
Make it a crime to arrange with a second person over the Internet for the sexual exploitation of a child.
Internet surveillance in other countries
United Kingdom - The Regulation of Investigatory Power Act of 2000 includes provisions to require ISPs to install systems to aid investigators in tracking electronic communications.
United States - The Patriot Act of 2001 expanded wiretaps to internet connections. The Bush administration authorized the National Security Agency to conduct warrantless domestic wiretaps in 2001, possibly earlier. The Protect America Act of 2007 and FISA Amendments Act of 2008 extended that authority.
Australia - The Surveillance Devices Bill of 2004 allows Australian Federal Police to obtain warrants for the use of data, optical, listening and tracking surveillance devices. The Intelligence Services Act of 2001 covers the use of surveillance devices by the country's security agencies.
New Zealand - The Search and Surveillance Powers Bill was introduced in September 2008 to update the surveillance powers and procedures of New Zealand's law enforcement agencies.
Sweden - Sweden's parliament approved new laws in June 2008 to allow the country's intelligence bureau to track sensitive words in international phone calls, faxes and e-mails without a court order. The law took effect in January 2009.

Is it me or are things getting ridiculous part 2
Crashing economies, threats of war, and Peta gets Miffed at Mr. Miyagi over a frigin fly??
POLITICO (Washington) - The president has been getting lots of kudos for a lightning-fast, Mr. Miyagi-worthy swipe he employed to slay a pesky house fly that was buzzing him in mid-interview during a taping with CNBC that aired Wednesday.
"He stopped the interview to track and kill the fly," said talk show host Conan O'Brien.
"That's some pretty impressive hand-eye coordination right there," Jimmy Fallon gushed. "Makes Obama look like a bad ass."
But now People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, calling it an "execution," wants the commander-in-chief to show a little more compassion to even "the least sympathetic animals."
