I don't disagree with you... and I am not posting from some kumbaya position...

The real difference today is that the power of the players is not the same... China cannot be fought with some ridiculous proxy war like Afghanistan... wow.. that worked for the Brits.. not.. the Russians.. not.. The US not... .. and all out war is hopefully off the table.. although the cataclysm of 65 million years ago would blow us up real good as the SCTV sketch would do.. and we stat all over again .. maybe the the best solution...



Mr Trump wants to restrict immigration and retreat into isolation and go back to the 60s.. you can never go back.. (Nice line from Henley's Boys of Summer) ... .. Mr. Trudeau wants to flood the country with immigration.. when at best he is a drama teacher.. or mediocre melodramatic actor... no less ridiculous... both proposals are band aids.. fixing symptoms... You know what happens when we treat symptoms... you just die more slowly.. and hopefully with less pain.. They call it palliative care eh ? but that does not work too well in the end... just for the short interim..

I have a few socialist thoughts but mostly I am a Fiscal conservative and social liberal.. Kinda why I always end up in the Libertarian spot on those quizzes...

The reason for the three socialist ideals is far far from altruism... It is so that the field of competitors for leaders is not burdened by over crowding with those that had rich daddies and really would be nothing without that.... really starting from scratch they would likely fail to impress... let alone be in charge.. I can think of two leaders on either side of the 49th

I am not too optimistic about the future.. Have not been in a long long time...

Lucky for us we won't be around to see it... so in the short term the solutions we are getting work for you and me...


Remember, consumption is the biggest contributor, by far, to Canadian and U.S. GDP... as an example of my agreement .. I posted this the other day after listening to goofy talky show hosts on the radio.. Canadian radio talk show.. not equally the goofy far left or far right US talk shows I listen to for chits and grins on drives to the the Laurentians... ..

excerpt :
Why ? because to keep the ponzi scheme of the consumption based economy (stupid idea which will ultimately prove humankind's undoing) which is also an easy easy sell to the mostly critical thinking challenged masses... rich and poor...We need more people to buy more things .. more birth.. more immigration.. more housing construction for more jobs to buy more $shit..


Hey 1-800 Got Junk commercial on radio these days ? It's Black Friday coming .. call us to get rid of your junk.. It's Black Friday and you need space for the new crap (Gist of message) !!!


fromhttps://www.siliconinvestor.com/readmsg.aspx?msgid=32441061 Where BTW I am not a CO2 story buyer either.. we are doing lots of bad.. but I am not worried about that one...

It is war though... and that never ends well.. and the higher the stakes.. which are approaching Defcon 5 the worse the outcome...

Hey Boomer :)... Do not get me started on millennials.. !!
