Canadian protests

Blocking major commerce entry and exit points at border crossings puts the protesters actions well outside the idea of a peaceful protest, they need a good arse spanking.

A parallel to the Canadian protests: Chris Uhlmann, as so often, writes an incisive article:

The Age

From the above:

----

"Something important is happening. It could grow. It might not stay peaceful. Politicians and the media should try to understand what is going on. That begins by listening to people and talking to them, not at them."

----

Polls indicate around 33% (or more) "strong support" for the aims of the Canadian truckers - if one third of the people feel ignored and sidelined for too long then bad things will eventually happen.

I am reminded of the following quotation:

"Democracy must be something more than two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for dinner."

James Bovard - from his book Lost Rights: The Destruction of American Liberty (1994)

The whole world has gone completely mad over the past 2 years.
Every nut case has come out of the woodwork.
Ignore it, we haven't got time to worry about it at our age.

That's the good thing about being on the road full time, gets you away from those caged in city people slowly going mad.

An interesting article from Spiked:

Why is the left silent on Trudeau's crackdown

Religions have sacred histories and tales, which may be kept in sacred scriptures, as well as sacred symbols and holy sites, all of which are intended to give life meaning. I was stumped as to how to write in my leisure time. After reading this article, I became aware of cheap writing services. You will submit quality and top-of-the-line papers for grading if you use their low-cost essay writing services. Your professor will not deny you that extra point that will propel you to the top of the class. Approximately 84 percent of the world's population practices Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, or folk religion.

Attention to the forum admin.
