Bertrand Russel

The decline of the PAX-BRITANIA clearly explained by Bertrand Russel. Are we living in the Decline of PAX_AMERICANA. The war in IRAN and how the world reacts will definitely let us know. Although the USA is by far the greatest Military Global Power world history has ever scene, much has to do with us if we wish it to continue that way. I believe that the USA truly believes they are fighting an honourable fight for the masses of the world who are subjugated to intolerable denial of freedom. However, if the world believes that sovereignty is a principle not to be infringed upon never, the USA might run into a conundrum. As a result, this is a sticky situation. Any government that kills its own people who just want to express themselves and their discontent in peaceful protest in my mind deserves to be eliminated; even though I am a pacifist. One we are all on the same page and believe in basic principles of freedom and economic organization preferable a hybrid system or Western Social Democracy. Once we can all trade with each other then we do not have to governmentally share the wealth because the wealth will distribute through economic forces. I lived in CHINA for almost two years and know what the benefits an obedient society can and will have; however, being born in Canada next to the USA, I Love My Freedom as well. I believe that the Chinese will slowly open up to include constructive criticism outside the educational sphere. What I do not want to see:

  1. Economic wars.
  2. Military Build-ups
  3. World War Three
  4. War in Asia/or anything other then intervening extremely repressive regimes. Although IRAN has talked the talk they never walked the walk and now they see why.

What I want to see:

  1. New Global Government Peace Organization with or structured where Nuclear Powers can and will discuss interventions logically and in an unbiased fashion.
  2. Developed Nations East West North and South to discuss development and trade. Developed Nations one house. Developing nations lower house which take recommendations from the upper house.
  3. You can move from upper to lower houses with economic index scores and responsibility will move as such.
  4. Make international government more transparent and make a single strong military force such as NATO can be incorporated into it; thus, eliminating its mission once the new intervention force/ is believed to speak for the globe as a whole.

These are simple steps we can do to not war with China in the near future and get all on the same page for a true working and transparent global system of governments.

Chomsky on “Miseducation”!

Teachers today are given the responsibility to teach children to be critical thinkers. What happens when we teach our children to question the sacred, the hegemonic legitimizers and the system that teaches us to read and write.

Living in a “Free and Democractic society,” when we question long standing institutions as becoming dead dogmas we run the risk of becoming outcast and socially unacceptable behaviour coming from the powers at be who believe themselves to be the holders or defenders of our freedom.

Unfortunately, holding freedom to account one that all can benefit we need critical thinkers to raise the alarm so that we can adjust and adapt before it is too late.

Canadian Federalism seems to be working at the moment; however, it seems that it needs to be tweaked so that we do not loose any more fundamental freedom as it seems are being curtailed at any given moment.

The passing of Bill C-09 was touted as a Bill-That may down a slippery slope to curtail a religious leader from using some texts that seem to be hateful. I’m sure that we have nothing to worry about yet as long as your not using text to question to government at hand.

How can we save our federal system in Canada?

  1. Open the system include more Western Canadian Voices.
  2. Revisit Meech-Lake so that we get a Quebec Signature on the Constitution to make this nation whole.
  3. test proportional representation provincially before we make it our full blown system federally.
  4. tinker with equalization and allow provinces to manage more of their internal profits loosening the federation but have high national standards which must be met.
  5. Federal Health Care system which does not limit our freedom of mobility but does allow provinces to cede who can come to their province in the end more of a security provision rather than cultural control.

In the end, balancing our freedom with the economic capacity to realize these freedoms has always been the domain to critical thinkers who can foresee the problems of not adapting making the right slow changes so that the country does not shake to the point of collapse.

Proportional Representation is the necessary system needed for Canada to enact the slow change that the majority of Canada will have a voice so far that the rigidity of the first past the post system cannot handle the complexities of our federation.

FAMOUS LAST WORDS: Eric Dane

Eric Dane’s final words to his daughters, Billie and Georgia, were a heartfelt message that encapsulated his life and lessons learned from his battle with ALS. He encouraged them to “live now, right now, in the present,” to “fall in love,” to “choose your friends wisely,” and to “fight with every ounce of your being and with dignity.” These words were a poignant farewell, reflecting his resilience and the lessons he learned from his illness.

Heart wrenching and genuine thought coming from a Man who had it all; successful actor, family man and one with some demons. In his tell all, coming to grips that he would die soon he view on life is spot on. His message to his daughters is wise and honest.

Coming form a Man who was not the nest to himself, using drugs and alcohol to suppress demons from pass trauma is never a good thing. His honest message to us is to choose your friends and acquaintances wisely. Could not have said it any better myself. Anyone feeding you garbage is never a friend I do not care who they are…

I have seen many go down this road … I just pray that they have the wherewithal to understand their wrongs and make amends before they pass.

As for Eric Dean, he has come to grips with his demons and may he rest in peace!

I hope his daughters take his message seriously because we are all taking it now and it is great advice.

NEXT up, …. Jane Goodall one of my favourite teachers and scientists.

But first a musical interlude…Heavy one…ha
