National Grump Day

Appearantly today is national grump day...so um...I guess I hope everyone is grumpy.

I did my civic duty today and actually got out and voted. It was a totally gorgeous day for a walk, like 20 degrees, which is weird for this time of year in Calgary.

So I've decided that people should have to take intelligence and psych tests in order to get their driver's licences (and to become a parent for that matter). What prompted this decision? Yesterday I watched as some moron turned left (on a solid green light, with traffic going straight through the intersection). Ok so he was in the wrong, fine but one guy who was going straight through sped up blaring his horn all the way. Uh, seriously buddy are you in such a hurry that you have to show everyone how much of an idiot you are. Yeah, he had the right of way but is that worth getting into a serious accident? He had just started from a full stop and could of just waited the 2 seconds for the other idiot driver to complete his left turn...but I guess he had to prove how in the right he was and just kept accelerating. People, slow down, it's not worth your life!

Paranoia or Our Real Future





Jeez, if there is any truth to this, I weep for the future. Let me tell you, if it comes down to living in this future I will not be alive to see it. I'll go down fighting.

Very Disturbing




I found this trailer for this documentary about Jesus camp. Ok I'm not against religious camps for the most part. It's normally a good way for parents to allow their kids to experience summer camp (which in my opinion is usually a great experience, religious or not) if they are a religious family. It ceases to be a good idea when things like this video happen. Summer camp is supposed to a fun experience for kids, filled with tons of fun activities with other children their age. Religious camps should be the same thing with maybe a couple of prayer meetings and perhaps one or two sermons thrown in. It should NOT be like this, where kids are brainwashed and turned into "God's army". How is this any different then a cult or other fanatical groups, such as militia men who throw guns and various other weapons into their kids hands as soon as they are able to walk? Frankly this scares the hell out of me...these people have political agendas to turn the U S into a nation of hard core born agains! WTF! Just what the world needs...a government of religious fanatics...doesn't this seem to point to even more religious wars (which is far more savage and brutal than wars over money and power, history proves that). I am sad that children are not allowed to be kids anymore. We as adults tend to saddle them with adult issues at a young age, and although this is sometimes for their safety I think perhaps it's time to slow down and allow them to just worry about the small things and just have fun. We certainly shouldn't be brainwashing our kids. I hate humans...it's only a matter of time before we become extinct due to our own stupidity...and the Earth will be better for it.
