Love, Sex, Marriage.

I used to take the position that saving the definition of marriage from political correctness was the right thing to do. This is a blog that really wants to speak for the side of truth, not my perceptions of it.

It all seemed fairly straight forward as society needs to build from somewhere, the concept of cohesion and unity. I thought that children needed to view a duality in parents to learn the principles of that cohesion, just as nature provides us with polarity to understand the flow of electricity or any of the opposites that contribute to the function of existence.

I can't recall when I took ownership of the idea that marriage needed to be saved from the same-sexers, it may have been in science or biology class that I was lead astray because I didn't have a religious upbringing by any stretch. In fact, my upbringing was in a family of disunity and chaos brought on by adultery of one or more parents. This is why I believe my former views on same-sex marriage stemmed from the scientist mind I value and not because God said it is wrong.

I find it incredible that I still don't have such negative feelings about adultery that I once had about same-sex marriage. Adultery should be seen as the greatest threat to marriage, especially since it has had such an impact on my life, yet I find it difficult to get excited about people having sex with someone other than their spouse.

From a religious point of view, people are not to have sex with anyone except their spouse. Sex is intended to be confined to marriage and this is where I've had to adjust my position so as not to be a hypocrite.

I could never tell someone to wait until they were married before having sex or that they shouldn't have an affair, I would simply say it was, "your business". I don't even think I would tell someone to be in love before having sex. This is a far cry from the guy who wanted to save the definition of marriage. Since the intended marriage doesn't exists in our society, why did I ever think it needed to be saved?

So people, fall in love, get married then have sex. Perhaps in a generation or so, marriage will have been saved.

Gallbladder Surgery

Here is some information about the gallbladder and the surgery.

Suppose 5000 gallbladder operations are performed in Canada each year at a cost of, well, I had a hard time finding out what these cost so I'll link to this page that seems to have a sale on cholesystectomy operations, (act now).
Let's use the sale price of $3,260 US. If anyone has actual Canadian figures please send me the link and I'll update. If my math is correct then that amounts to $16.3 million US. I suspect the Canadian numbers to be more than double that. When you factor in lost productivity, sick days, delays in other surgeries and the lost productivity from them, cost of medications and on and on.

$100 million Canadian is not an unrealistic claim for the cost of gallbladder surgeries to our collective coffers.

A couple months back I had the classic symptoms of a gallbladder attack(See Link above). As it turns out I happen to be one of those weird people that has an aversion to being knocked out and cut open. I couldn't get in to see my doctor anyway, so I figured that I would find a way to rid myself of the hurtful stones without the controlled trauma of surgery.

I came across this site for a Liver cleanse and found it to be a perfectly safe concoction of household ingredients. I thought, what the hell, there is nothing in the mixture that could harm me, even in large doses, I have nothing to lose. I have performed the cleanse three times over two months and have gotten rid of at least fifty stones. I have gross pictures of them for proof of course, and no I won't post them as there are plenty at the link I offered.

I feel great, no more stones and all at no cost to you or the Canadian Welfcare System.

Your welcome.

More Grewal Drool.

As the media continue to salivate over the prospect of destroying a Conservative MP's career, I would like to simply remind them of two things;

1) The Minister of Health lied.

Liberal Health Minister Ujjal Dosanjh quickly struck back, saying it was Grewal who made the first approach, seeking a cabinet post for himself and a Senate seat for his wife.

"He approached us. He approached us because he wanted to cross the floor," said Dosanjh, adding that Gurmant Grewal came back several times when the Liberals rejected his initial demands.

"I am actually offended that he wouldn't take no for an answer."

UD - It is not an easy thing. I wouldn't. You really think. My own thinking is it might be possible. No body will make you totally blunt promises, because that is not done in politics, usually. Cabinet right away may be possible, You might be better off for yourself, I know that you might not be ready to do it right now but you certainly be looking for a significant appointment for her, not for you. How old are you now.

Does not sound like "no" to me.

2) The more you work to discredit an already stressed Grewal, the more likely you will generate public sympathy for him.


Especially if Nina describes how hurt he is over the entire situation and has much regret about how he tried to show the way in which Liberals operate, how he thought he was doing a service for his Party and Canada.(beginning to cry) He just thought he was being a good MP. We should protect whistleblowers in this country not destroy them.

Then the public will hear the tapes and focus on the goodies Tim and company didn't offer. The tapes themselves will be less relevant.

Can it be happening already?
As Bill also suggests.

Liberal Demons

As the Liberal government struggles today to silence its same-sex demons, I wonder what non-deal is being discussed and if a body search for hidden recording devices was conducted prior to the meeting. I would love to see Irwin Cotler donning rubber gloves welcoming backbenchers into the cone of silence.

I know we are a long way from Halloween but this is as good as time as any to display some pretty scary masks.





For those of you east of Manitoba I offer this little gem.

Book Tag

I'm a little hurt that I have yet to be book tagged by anyone to post about my book collection. I guess that's what happens when you have Miss Canada and Star Wars fluff posted for the past week.

I haven't been tagged but need to mention the most important book I've ever read.

Power VS. Force By David R Hawkins, M.D.,Ph.D. Hay House INC. 1995

Not only will it change the way you view politics, but will shift the entire view of reality.

Force often relies upon rhetoric, propaganda, and specious argument to garner support and disguise underlying motivations. One characteristic of truth, though, is that it needs no defense; it's self-evident. That "all men are created equal" requires no justification or rhetorical persuasion.

It's clear that power is associated with that which supports life, and force is associated with that which exploits life for the gain of an individual or an organization.

(pg. 155, Power VS Force,Hawkins.D.R)

Two common themes the book explores are positive and negative attractor fields that become part of your awareness and forever changes the way one views existence.

The Grewal tapes have been edited.

How stupid do you have to be. Hear it here.

This is a no go for the Conservatives.

UPDATE: It is too late, you have lost all credibility and allowed the integrity of the tapes to come into question and this just reinforces it.

When you tape a conversation you don't wait two weeks and release it progressively with edited versions and then the full version only after they have been claimed altered.

The ONLY way a taped guilty party can come out clean is by questioning the authenticity of the tapes. This is exactly what the Liberals did and the Conservatives look guilty on this one. What the hell were they waiting for? A Rolling Stones type deal from Best Buy? Geez.

Restrict Karla Homolka and the Movie

I can't imagine why a society wouldn't want to place restrictions on Karla Homolka, a murderer that shouldn't be walking the streets anyway, anywhere, anytime. When someone has violated the most sacred law, should it matter that a society honor an agreement or, "keep its word", to that person. The safety of individuals trumps the agreement made, not to mention the honor of the victims families wishes.

The movie, if it absolutely has to be made and released, should be a vehicle for restitution to the victims families. In my opinion 100% of world wide gross should be available to the victims families, a massive disincentive to any producer that wishes to capitalize on recounting crimes through books or movies.
