Speak your mind even if your voice shakes

How can you willing submit to rape?
Well only a mind as complex as Billies can answer that.
He has been asked to be a key note speaker at a missing and exploited children’s group fund raiser.
As he is exploiting these boys regularly on his show I suppose he is a natural choice. That is if you are trying to understand the mind of someone who exploits children.

Reports from all over today about Garth joining the green Dions.
Many thought Turner would have encamped with E. May’s Greens.
However, in an exclusive interview with A.R. Media Mr. Turner had this to say;
I support the Green Party, some enviromentalists will do anything so better the Green Party than Greenpeace.
But I have talked people out of joining the Green Party and can’t see anything that would induce/reduce me to joining them.
I’d like to see tax incentives and counselling to help prevent more people from joining the Green Party.
I hope people will realize that there are radicals on either side not willing to listen to each other.
Making this a difficult and nuanced decision.To quote St. Thomas Aquinas, “Who knows when political life begins?”

Don’t know how many of you will indulge me in this but here goes.
If you feel so inclined post a comment giving one or two reasons why you vote for the party you do. In other words what values, beliefs, policies what have you that you hold near and dear do they represent.
And if you are feeling brave list one or two things where you part company or you feel they could improve.
Anyone?

New blog site launched today with this press release
Birth Pangs — Save Lives! Regulate Pregnancy!
For Immediate Release 02 February 2007
Anti-pregnancy people launch campaign!
Berlynn
(OTTAWA) A radical group of anti-pregnancy extemists launched their political campaign to eliminate pregnancy with a new website this week. Birth Pangs will be an organizing centre of support in their call for legislation to end pregnancies in Canada.
April Reign, the group’s spokesperson said, “The facts show that carrying a pregnancy to term is more dangerous than other medical procedures. And then there are the post-partum issues: depression, sleepless nights, teenagers.”
Indeed, pregnancy can cause women to suffer physical and psychological damage. The risks of stretchmarks and post partum depression are high. Many go into it at an extremely young age when thoughtless adults assure them they are making the right choice. Many have pregnancy thrust upon them.
Rates of death, also known as maternal morbidity, are between four and five per 100,000 births. “Though this number may seem low,” said Reign, “These lives could have been saved if we had laws against pregnancy.”
The group will initiate a pan-Canadian lobby campaign early next month.

Yes we’ve all heard of Wiarton Willie and Pennsylvania’s Punxsutawney Phil but how many have heard of Woody? No, not that kind.
Woody is a female groundhog who has correctly predicted spring on six out of eight occasions.
Although male groundhogs have an advantage in getting hired, female groundhogs have an advantage in accuracy. Perhaps the female groundhogs need to advocate for fair hiring practises.
Richard Grant, executive director of the Howell Conference and Nature Center tells us that female groundhogs are more reliable predictors of weather because they generally have more responsibility. They are the care givers and bringers of bacon for their families.
Male groundhogs do have their responsibilities too.
When asked about these responsibilities Grant replied;
“What do male groundhogs do? They mate . . . and then they get hit by cars.”

The government is considering possible changes to the Youth Criminal Justice Act that would sharply increase the number of young offenders sent to adult jails, according to a memo obtained by CTV News.
The memo sketches a “preferred option” that would “give the Crown discretion to use adult criminal justice procedures for youths aged 16 and 17 who are charged with murder, attempted murder, manslaughter or aggravated sexual assault.”
Judges currently decide whether young offenders should be charged as adults; the option outlined in the memo would strip them of that power.
Lots going on just in that short passage.
Put kids in jail instead of providing educational,work and other opportunities that might make for a future. Not to mention instead of providing decent wages and childcare programs to help steer them in the right direction.
Wonder how many of the kids “adult streamed” will be visible minorities? [Read more…] about Conservatives new childcare plan
