Still here, still nothing to say it would seem... I would REALLY like to get going on this and I think I should really start thing more seriously about what i want to say! Actually I have loads to say, i am an opinionated freak in may ways, but of course my opinions are counter to 99.99% of humanity, and I also feel I am one of the .01% who ACTUALLY have it somewhat figured out...

Just as a flavour of the things I am liable to say, let's talk about the stupid wars going non now, wars of choice I might add and I am getting pretty sick of all of the commentary that suggests this is something we had no control over. Myself being Canadian, the Afgan war is near and dear to my heart. The thing that people basically seem to not realise who support the war, is that the basic unspoken assumption is that WE own the world, and this is what gives us the right to intervene in what ever country we choose. Our intents are by their very nature noble, as WE are undertaking them as opposed to Iran or China or whoever the enemy of the day might be...

Just for Shits and Giggles, lets assume that China suddenly decides that they think the US has overstepped its bounds, and looks like it is trying to take over control of the world, at the very least its most precious resources, oil in particular. One can see how they may possibly come to this conclusion, looking at all the evidence that has amassed out there. They decide that the solution is to bomb and invade the USA. Really this is not so far from what the USA does, but would we all be sitting around accepting it as the natural response to trying to control an out of control regime? In the case of the Afgan invasion this is ok, according to our high standards of when violence and invasions are necessary, why would it be different for China? In any case I digress and leave you with this link:
