Are We Not Athenians?

Oh here’s a meta-moment for you. I’m thinking about blogs: I’m writing my thoughts about this on my blog. In doing so, I’m creating a new category called ‘Truth Diary’. That’s sort of in opposition to my ‘Liar’s Digest’ and while I think I’ll be waxing philosophic here, it’s not quite ‘Newman Logic’ because this will reveal truths about an individual rather than muse about Life, The Universe and Everything. And by the way if you have a fundamental truth about yourself you want to reveal in blog form contact me. 
I remember back when the blogosphere was the next big thing. Back before the Huffington Post, Perez Hilton and Stuff White People Like they talked about this revolution: people would be sharing themselves with the world, their lives would be broadcast and then scrutinized and the most popular blogs would be the most honest ones. That didn’t seem to happen.

I Know of Kung Fu!
3 Comments
I’ve watched quite a few Kung Fu movies and I think I’ve got the gist of it. I’m ready to hunt down that bully that works for the local gang. You won’t have to pay protection fees anymore. Well, not their protection fees, anyway. Heroes got to get paid, son.
Let me fill you in on my credentials.
I’m like the goddamn Batman. I’ll come in and those criminals will be all “Who’s this guy?†but their lips won’t be moving properly in sync with their words and it’ll seem all weird until you realize that some unknown presence is speaking through them.
Who cares? I’m gonna punch their faces off anyway.

The Myth of Lower Taxes
Comments Off on The Myth of Lower Taxes
When Canadians go to the polls this May, many of them will be hoodwinked: the reason many of them will vote for Harper is because they grossly misunderstand what Harper means when he says that he’ll keep taxes low or even lower them further. They seem to think this means that they’ll be saving money. This isn’t true.
What Harper means is that he intends (and always has) to keep taxes low for the wealthiest individuals and companies. This group pays the bulk majority of the taxes, i.e. the money the Government uses to conduct business, but it’s not technically their fair share because they hold on to so much more wealth in proportion to the majority of Canadians.
Technically, what a just society would do is have the wealthiest participants turn over more of their wealth to the state so that the middle class and society’s less fortunate can benefit. This would be a fair exchange since the wealthy rely on our support and participation in the economy to generate their wealth.
