Say hello

to my handy dandy meat tenderizer. Haha! Just kidding, though you could tenderize meat with it no problem.

But no, say hello to the carbide-tipped bushing hammer! Love this guy! Been using it for some months now. Don't ask me what it cost. Though really, long term, the price is actually not bad, since if I use it the right way it should last a lifetime, relatively speaking.

You can really dial in the granite (and other stone) with this puppy. But it's finishing, finesse. You don't hammer with it. It took a bit to learn how to use it right. You hold it with both hands with a good deal of tension. The entire spiked surface area needs to make contact dead flat for it to be effective (and also you could ruin the hammer otherwise). You drive-push it, as it were, into the stone. You don't want the hammer bouncing off. It's methodical, slow, and effective. You don't just get a rough finish. You can get totally precise. You can totally level off a piece, completely flat, on all or as many sides as you wish, round off or sharpen corners, if you keep at it. It takes time.

Sometimes when you're chiselling granite or using the bushing hammer on it, the smell is exactly like the smell of a dentist's office when they're doing drilling. The smell of nightmares. Yet when it's with the granite, outside, you're working away - it's somehow good, like I love the smell of napalm in the morning kind of thing.

I first went to Micon on Granville Island. I love that place. Been there since the thirties. They forge their own tools, and they import. I got the carbide-tipped chisels, a pitching tool, the bell hammer and the splitting hammer (love the splitting hammer!) from them. They are absolutely "go-to" for these kinds of tools. You go in there and it's like the front office hasn't been changed since the forties or fifties.

But they don't have the bushing hammer! I asked them and they pointed me to Pothier Enterprises in Surrey. By the way, the folks at Micon are very helpful and very much into talking to the customer about using the tools etc. - great customer service. Will definitely be going back to Micon!

Pothier had to order in the bushing hammer from the eastern US. It's something that annoys me from time to time about Canada. Some things here are just weirdly unavailable. Like, point chisel? Check. Wide chisel? Check. Pitching tool? Check. Bell hammer? Check. Splitting hammer? Check. Bushing hammer? Nope, sorry. You can't have that - that's too much of a good thing.

Like come on man!

Going forward I think I'm going to refer to the sacrament of confession as the Great Reset.

Someone will ask, "Hey Paul, where are you going?"

And I'll respond, "I'm off to receive the Great Reset! Did you want to come along? You can get the Great Reset too!"

The Church evangelizes by attraction. I dunno, but all the conspiracists agree that we live in the worst times ever, so why would they be against a Great Reset? Like, are you against Jubilee? The Jubilee is Biblical. Why would you be against debt cancellation? Why would you insist that people carry the undue burden of fraudulent debt?

If so much of our times is evil, as you insist, that we live in confusing times (LOL), then why do you then tell us these times have to persist, and that a Great Reset is a Big Scary Thing. Like huh? You make absolutely no sense whatsoever.

Another reminder

Anyone using the term "public mass" (such as saying the "public mass is being suppressed") is someone playing word games and is engaging in manipulation. They are dealing in lies. There is no such thing as a private Mass. All Masses are public, regardless of attendance. Hence, people like Mark Mallett, knowing full well that the Mass is not being suppressed, but desperately wanting to fit a square peg into a round hole, tries to get around factual reality by saying the "public mass" is being suppressed. Word games and manipulation.

COVID deniers do the same thing with the word "lockdown". People like Mallett will say "lockdown" to refer to various restrictions. Knowing that referring to restrictions in themselves won't carry the same bludgeoning, scare-mongering coercion as "lockdown", they will, in full relativistic mode, opt for the word "lockdown" as the smothering blanket term for basic safety measures.

So Mallett will quote someone from the WHO talking about how lockdowns are not, or should not be, the best means of battling the spread of COVID. Which is totally correct. But you see, in saying that, the WHO expert is actually talking about how we should be doing safety measures, like social distancing, mask-wearing, etc. And those are all things Mallett slumps willy-nilly into the overarching category of "totalitarianism" and "suppression" and this and that. This is called quoting someone in bad faith. It is manipulation.

Lockdown is something very specific. Safety measures like social distancing, limited occupancy, mask-wearing etc. are not lockdown. He does the same thing with words like "quarantine" and so on.

It reminds me of just the other weekend, after I spent a good few hours working on Saturday, I was waiting at a red light on my way back home, looking forward to the fun of playing with granite stones, and this convoy of vehicles goes through the intersection beeping their horns, and in the windows of their vehicles are sheets of paper taped up with words such as "Un-mask your voice" and "Community hugs" and (the stupidest of all) "Stop the lockdown".

As they drove past one by one, beeping their horns, I was like, "OKAY, BOOMERS". But later I reflected: how much more of a self-evidently self-disproving protest could one make than by driving around with the slogan "Stop the lockdown"? 

Like, uh, you're driving around freely, just as the thousands of other motorists around. You will likely stop by the Tim Horton's later on and get yourself a double double with the piece of paper still taped up in your window saying "Stop the lockdown". LOL. Like, okay then. Okeeydokeey there, Boomer.

I'm also reminded of some months ago when I was on my usual evening walk. I noticed, many yards ahead of me, a man had crossed the street and was standing on the sidewalk. Well before I was within proximity to him, I did my due diligence of giving the old wide berth, and since he was standing in the middle of the sidewalk, this entailed me going onto the grassy shoulder. As I passed him by (he looked a bit like Joe Rogan, with what in passing appeared to be a similar build - he could have K.O.'ed me no problem), he turns his face to me and says, very directly and very hatefully, "What the fuck do you think you're doing, you piece of shit."

And I was like, "OOOKAAAYYY Paul, just keep on walking". LOL.

I'm also reminded of that film Bird Box. I hated that film, and place it in my "hated films" category which also contains films such as Birdman, Noah, and Joker. Anyways, you may recall in that film there are these "herd immune" satanic figures who drive around trying to remove people's blindfolds to expose them to the force/entity that makes people kill themselves. I mean talk about a prophetic film.

I think about the bullying people have received for wearing masks. I think about people like Taylor Marshall who creepily on the anniversary of the Jonestown Massacre tweeted how he was going to have over thirty people gathered at his place for Thanksgiving to flip the bird to the Marxists and Communists. I think about the manipulative sectarian false prophets who in denying COVID are practically proto-eugenicists. I think about the random psycho Joe Rogans and wolves painting their caring neighbours as sheep.

Here's a short prayer you can pray when putting on your mask: "Lord, make me ready for persecution!"

 

"They are victims only in their own imagination." --Pope Francis

Just a reminder

Anyone saying that the Mass has been "suppressed" and the churches have been "closed" is a liar who is calumniating their local bishop and the bishops in general.

The Mass has not been suppressed. The Mass continues to be said everyday at all parishes. The churches have not been closed; they remain open for private prayer. Confessions are available. The bishops remain in close and respectful dialogue with health authorities.

It's interesting, the kind of selfishness in which a person seeks after the imprimatur or approval of their bishop as regards the publication of their locutions, but when it comes to respecting their bishop as regards the factual reality of their bishop's leadership, they just don't give a shit.

The church is for them a candy machine, as they arrogate to themselves the position of prophesying the "shipwreck" of the church, and all other kinds of bullshit doom and gloom.

They are, as Pope Francis says, juvenile.

They are fanatic fundamentalists.

They are incapable of writing words without playing word games.

They have a deep and dense dishonesty problem.

Do not listen to them.

So I guess the Children of Light didn't pray enough for the US election results to get overturned? No double-whammy day of sudden comeback and shining light? Donald Constantine lost miserably in a historic landslide (and he has known this all along) because of their failure of prayer, is that it?

It's as though God does not answer yes to prayers requesting Trumpian power through election interference, fraudulent litigation and sedition. That is most unfortunate for the Children of Light.

It's almost like false prophecy doesn't just end in itself, but goes towards committing all kinds of other evils to try and make the prophecy come true - like election interference, fraudulent litigation, voter suppression, and sedition, all the while feigning neutrality by loftily saying, "Ah, I'm awaiting the election results" even though the results were clearly already in. LOL.

I guess the guy that SkybalonSiteNews featured - you know the guy who would receive the Eucharist superstitiously in willful disobedience to the priests who told him to knock it off - the guy who predicted way back in the day that Donald Trump would lead the nation back to God - yeah that guy, I guess he was completely wrong and his prophecy was false?

Huh, imagine that.

These people are probably also very disappointed that the promising COVID vaccines don't come from a fetal cell line.

Sore disappointment all around.

 

And look at that! Transparent face masks! Now you won't be covering the Imago Dei! Huh, no more excuses for you! LOL

It's like trying to find the Holy Grail,

 

but I found it, I finally found it! Just one distributor in B.C. ha!

The revolution in bathroom renovation is here, people. Time to get on board or get the hell outta the way!

A world of good

One film that I frequently ponder - sort of just gingerly hold in the same imaginative space that tends to give birth to fan fiction - is Rio Bravo. I've watched it near a dozen times over the years, beginning when I was around 18 or so, having learned back then that it was Quentin Tarantino's favourite film.

But more often than thinking about the story or characters, I end up thinking about what it is that makes the film so engrossing. Its "particularity of place" sneaks up on you; it doesn't need to compel. The film navigates its own fully wrought architecture with a continuous ease. Yet it is as though the entire film hangs on the hinges of that old door to the sheriff's office, opened and closed time and again. "Hey Stumpy, I'm coming in!" It has these quiet, insinuating rhythms; they develop into an almost blessed space, both blessed and dangerous. No other film really has this sense of place, of space: it is rarefied, totally set apart, and utterly unique.

I remember in the early minutes of my first viewing, wondering why this was Tarantino's favourite, even wondering if there was some other film by the same title, and that I might be watching the wrong one, when at some point that question was forgotten entirely, as I was totally absorbed in the film's space and time. The film didn't wow me or stun me: more unexpectedly, it came home to roost. When a film does that, it creates the greatest tension and suspense as well. One does not watch Rio Bravo. Rather, one slips into it, and at which point in the film one has slipped into it is impossible to say.

The film doesn't really begin or end. I mean, the film has a very satisfactory ending, but it doesn't end. Roger Ebert came close to describing what it was when he said in his Great Movies review, "The film is seamless...the 141-minute running time flows past like running water."

I say this too, as one who has always been put off by westerns, both film and tv. I have never been into the genre, and still am not. (And don't even get me started on Bone Tomahawk! Don't watch it! I wish I never had!)

Anyways, the reason I bring it up now is because I was thinking, there's lots of people quarantining, exercising mercy and kindness, and they have access to netflix, and maybe they haven't watched Rio Bravo before, and I'm saying, get down with your favourite drink and snuggle in and watch it. Even as "comfort viewing" it would be a boon.

But more, you may find the film opens up a part of your soul you didn't know was there. Trust me, watch the film.  It will do you a world of good.

Was Jim Jones the White Savior?

Photo Source

I asked myself that question after recently learning that the majority of People's Temple were African-American. So I googled "Jim Jones White Savior" and I found this interview: Jim Jones, deadly white savior: The tragic legacy of the Jonestown massacre. 

It's an interview with author Sikivu Hutchinson who wrote a novel about the Jonestown massacre, White Nights, Black Paradise.

I think her words here in particular are very important:

The truth of Jonestown has been lost because it’s been demonized to a certain extent. The impression was that you had these “zombie-esque acolytes running over there and bowing down to this white man.” It just creates a very sordid and unsavory picture. Also, it took place in San Francisco, a city that has always been mythicized as a white space. You had a white pastor, so many white bohemian liberal-to-radical members involved quite prominently and that becomes a big part of the ethos. That this is a “free love” church, that it was a new age-y kind of confab, when it’s really coming from the heart of Pentecostal, charismatic spirituality.

Just a reminder

There is a thing called Odious Debt.

Odious Debt is not debt that is unpayable because the debtor is poor or lazy, but it is debt that is unpayable due to the rigging of the lender; the accumulating interest is insupportable to the very nature of transaction. You could say it is perversely disproportionate to human scale.

A loan itself is an extended transaction, and the benefit for the lender is in proportion to the degree of time that they can stretch it out. They don't want the transaction to come to a completion. By doing this with unchecked impunity, Odious Debt breaks and distorts the very proportionality by which we sustain the value of money as such.

Jubilee is not just debt cancellation: it is debt cancellation in recognition that debts extended in time beyond all reason is Odious Debt and will kill everyone, including those who have paid off their debts.

Student loan debt is Odious Debt. It is also doubly Odious Debt because student education in itself is a future economic investment which benefits everyone, however remotely. It's not like someone taking out a loan for a car or for a Jacuzzi. To lump student loan into any other loan category is sick and deplorable. At most, student loans should be interest free, as well as due date free.

Just as the government got people into the country here in Canada by offering to potential immigrants interest free loans to work a piece of land, to be paid back only when the farmers had secured themselves financially and were doing well. Why would the government do that? It's not rocket science: because it was advantageous to the country, economically, and in every other way. Ditto education.

Conservatives wringing their hands about how debt forgiveness wouldn't be fair, and it would be unequal, are invoking the very "socialism" they themselves denounce . Anything to do with equal opportunity these conservatives label as "socialist" or "communism". Yet here they are commanding that people bleed themselves dry to pay what in most cases they have already paid (and in some cases paid multiple times over) and not have it cancelled because otherwise it wouldn't be equal with those who have paid their debts. Conservatives are the worst freaking communists. LOL.

People framing debt forgiveness as though it was socialists forcing the hand of the lender and taking the money that belongs to the lender - LOL.

Will our bowel movements be arrested during the Three Days of Darkness?

I ask because one would assume that indoor plumbing will totally malfunction due to the massive reconfiguration of the earth, the demonic violence, and the cataclysmic wrath; all those pipes underground will break and no water will be coming into your house. You might get a few flushes, but after that it will be no good.

And if you're someone who doesn't have indoor plumbing but has an outhouse, well, no one will be able to go outside, unless you want instant death.

So maybe our bowel functions will be suspended? After all, there will be certain favoured souls who will be granted the grace of falling into a deep sleep for the Three Days. Certainly their bowel functions will be suspended? You would hope so.

Anyways, I find it rather inconsistent that some believing themselves to be vigilant will be all like, "Do you have your blessed beeswax candles ready?" but they have absolutely nothing to say about having several large buckets on hand. Chamber pots, you know? And you're going to want lids for those buckets.

I suppose one could use the bathtub, but that would get disgusting real quick.

Just some thoughts on TDD.

This is something that haunts me

 

As with the common use of plastic, the use of concrete/cement as a main building material is going to [have to] get phased out.

Unsurprisingly, Germany's on the ball.

Also, as with the problem of dealing with the plastic pandemic, the answer lies in the garbage itself, such as breaking down all the garbage to produce methane which is then used to create bio-plastics that actually biodegrade, and using fungi; so likewise they can use pollutants from smoke stacks to fabricate limestone...etc, etc. There are so many "alternatives" that are not alternatives but a whole new world opens up.

The world's garbage can become the next currency.

There's always so much we haven't thought about.

Heart Jack Kirby so much

Look for the cardboard cut-outs

In every ideology, every form of fundamentalism, there is always someone, or a group of people, who in a hidden unspoken fashion are turned into sacrificial cardboard cut-outs. I'm not necessarily talking about scapegoats, but people who are cast aside, are rendered and reduced into cardboard, as the result of someone's total ideology/absolutism.

It's not that they positively through words turn them into cardboard cut-outs. The cardboard cut-outs are the equation, so to speak, of their ideology. When encountering sectarian/conspiracy theory/anti-science/reality-denying ideologies, just look for the cardboard cut-outs and think about them.

In the case of false prophets like Mallett, the people who get turned into cardboard cut-outs are nurses, doctors, hospital staff, and caretakers at homes for the elderly.

In the case of false whistle-blowers like Vigano, the people who get turned into cardboard cut-outs are sexual abuse survivors.

In the case of criminal authoritarian cons like Trump, the people who get turned into cardboard cut-outs are the people of colour, women, and everyone who in unprecedented numbers, exercising their democratic right, voted him out of office.

And so on. Just look for those who in these ideological systems have been turned into cardboard cut-outs.

Also, upcoming: as the pandemic gets exponentially worse in the days ahead in the US, which is 100% due to Trump's criminal negligence (and maybe even homicidal intent), look for the false prophets and locutionists who will come out with garbage about how this is happening because of God's displeasure with Biden as president - or some variation thereof.

Look for it, and remember I warned you. It's the mode of operation of Vigano. Take 40 plus years of a scandalous mess, reduce it down (as a means of covering for one's self), and sling it at the man who inherited it. Same thing: the yearlong mess of Trump's criminal negligence which will be 100% inherited by Biden, will be reduced down in the same manner and slung at him.

Also, I don't want to be cranky or come across as pretend tough, but I have precisely zilch sympathy for people moaning about their Thanksgiving/Christmas plans being cancelled. It's barely even a sacrifice, let alone a painful sacrifice.

You want to know what's painful?

Being intubated is painful.

The organs in your body slowly shutting down is painful.

Nurses getting the virus due to serving the sick who denied COVID and in turn dying is painful and a heartbreaking sacrifice.

Watching your relative or friend die on Zoom is painful.

Is the mask issue contentious?

No, not really. Though there are some fearful sectarian nuts who desperately want it to be.

I believe Japan only did partial lockdown measures, if any, and they've done well because they all wear masks, no problem. That's just what people in Japan, and many other Asian countries, voluntarily do when one may have a cold and one goes out in public. It's to prevent others from getting your cold. So they have no problems doing it when it's a highly contagious and deadly virus.

They don't have selfish speculators who talk about masks from the standpoint of the effectiveness of it preventing you from getting the virus from someone else. They start from the standpoint of wearing a mask as a means of preventing others from getting it from yourself - when you don't know if you have it.

The beauty of it is when everyone is looking out for their neighbours, then everyone is wearing a mask out in public, and transmission of the virus goes way, way down.

A 100,000 times more ideological brainwashing goes into the refusal to wear a mask than into choosing to wear a mask.

COVID science denial, including speculating about the number of deaths from COVID and whether it was COVID that killed them, as well as biased speculation about the effectiveness of wearing masks dressed up as journalism, is all at bottom predatory opportunism, lying in wait, and nourishing itself into something extraordinarily malignant.

It is not seeking truth; it is not concerned with freedom. It is an entrenched, nasty, predatory opportunism; the refusal of the exercise of mercy in a bid for power. They approach a crisis this way: as vultures, like those in a pyramid scheme. The fact that they don't even realize this about themselves because their motives are not nefarious only speaks to how brainwashed they are, and how much they are content to stew in the relativism of ambiguity, the dictatorship of relativism.

They project this despairing power grab from the contented darkness of ambiguity (where any and all conspiracy theories are valid) onto others. Their capitulation to right-wing nuttery and sectarian fantasies - their defeat in surrendering to the politicization of the pandemic for the sake of their own comfort (including the comfortable illusion that they are prophets of the wilderness) - they project onto those complying with safety measures: they lie through their teeth about "defeated and fearful" eyes peering out above their masks.

This image is a total fabrication they weave out of their own desperate, private, wishful thinking.

Wearing a mask in public places, one only encounters this: kind eyes, humour, lots of solid eye contact, and a sense of fraternity. All the bullshit about "fearful and defeated" eyes peering out from above their masks is one of the flat-earthers' little preciouses they will never give up, no matter how much reality says otherwise.

The thought of people simply shouldering a rather mild burden and changing things up to accommodate the lives of others, and not have hospitals overwhelmed, thinking about all the nurses and doctors and hospital staff who would get heavy viral loads if the hospitals are overwhelmed (as clearly happened in Italy among other places) - and that people would do this and simply remain normal - no, this is too much for the sectarian nutbars. We all have to be fearful sheeple staring with round eyes of despair above our strangling masks as we are herded like steer into the vaccination barns.

It's amazing how much they love and cling to this fantasy over and above all observable reality to the contrary.

It's really quite something. But maybe observable reality is just a hologram? It's part of the COVID-21 Hologram? Now that would be something. Holy shit.

"There may be a basis in the case of some individuals, as perhaps when a male prostitute uses a condom, where this can be a first step in the direction of a moralization, a first assumption of responsibility, on the way toward recovering an awareness that not everything is allowed and that one cannot do whatever one wants. But it is not really the way to deal with the evil of HIV infection. That can really lie only in a humanization of sexuality.

"She [the Church] of course does not regard it as a real or moral solution, but, in this or that case, there can be nonetheless, in the intention of reducing the risk of infection, a first step in a movement toward a different way, a more human way, of living sexuality." --Pope Benedict XVI, in the book-length interview Holy Father We Ask For Clarity

The early days of the pandemic I was trying to fall asleep one night and just as I was beginning to slip I remembered I had done this drawing back in April 2019.

I lay there and said, "Huh, that's kind of strange". Some days later I looked up the drawing again. I had forgotten those breath-lines coming violently out of the mouth of that fear-filled face, and then I noticed that the formation of heads at the top make a sort of coronavirus molecule image, with sorts of protrusions. As much as I tell myself, "Ah, that's par for the course for art - it's a mystery!" I still recall the drawing once in a while and go, "Seriously, WTF?"

Then I started recalling other drawings I did in 2019 from when before the pandemic was even a blip on the radar. I've started titling them. LOL.

Plague Doctor

Crown of Death 

Snakes on a Plague LOL

There are others more generally leaning in that direction, like this one, and this one, and maybe this one?

Funny, too, when I did this drawing in March (found at this post), 

 

I had no intention whose face it was going to be. I was just drawing a face and seeing where it would lead. After I finished it, I said, "Huh, that kind of looks like Joe Biden." I mean, it doesn't technically look like him, but to me it has his "feel" so to speak.

So now I have titled that drawing "On Eagles Wings".

Anyways, I kind of have a crush on Kamala. It's all innocent. I know she's married. LOL. But man, especially that moment debating Pence, and she was like, "I'm speaking", I kind of just went head over heels. Which is why I love this meme so much:

LOL

And again, in that interview with the woman trying to peg her into an ideological corner (isn't it weird how the paranoia about someone being "socialist" is itself the rawest sort of ideological colonization?), asking her if she's going to act with a socialist agenda and so forth, and Kamala just responded by basically going, "BWAHAHAHAHAHAAAAA!!!"

But the way she laughed, it was not at all condemnatory, it was not scorn-filled - it was just refreshing and life-filled. Both her and Joe (who I like and cannot help but liking - a good Catholic guy) have a certain ordinary...I almost want to call it a goofiness that is at the same time totally cool. Anyways, get ready for the chivalrous white knights to attack Kamala like 5000 times more than they attack Biden over the years because You Know Why.

Dancing in the waters of life

This is Mallett, Coundown to the Kingdom, et al

 

Sorry sunshine, wrong place

British Columbia, Yukon, Alaska, Washington, Oregon, and California are all getting together to go on permanent daylight savings time, which will be called Pacific Time. While I applaud this, I would prefer the permanent position be the fallback time, not the springforward time.

Canada is banning plastic grocery bags, soft plastic six pack rings, plastic straws, stir sticks, cutlery, and certain takeout containers. I applaud this. My enthusiasm for banning these plastics is immense. My only question is, what took so long?

As with COVID deniers, the plastic-ban panickers appeal to some "higher issue" to mask the real reason for their panic: that the number one thing they fear is being inconvenienced in their post-modernistic comfortable individualism. So they say stuff like, "BANNING THOSE PLASTICS?! BUT GOOD LORD HOW ARE WE GOING TO FEED THE HOMELESS!!!"

The translation of which runs: OH GOOD LORD I'LL HAVE TO GET USED TO THOSE CUMBERSOME PAPER STRAWS WHILE I'M WOLFING DOWN MY BIG MAC IN THE PARKING LOT!!!

LOL

Right, all of a sudden you're so concerned about neo-marxist social issues like feeding the homeless. LOL. Yes, and feeding the homeless is totally dependent on plastic. The Chinese and Japanese have been using bamboo chopsticks all these years, but we simply have no alternatives to plastic cutlery and plastic containers. LOL. We will not be able to figure out a way. We will not incentivize the textile industry. We will not incentivize the bamboo/weed tree/wood fibre industry. We will not incentivize the farmers of flax and hemp and cotton and other plant material that provides fabric and a thousand other materials. It's plastic or bust. We must destroy the earth with it. We have no choice.

Yes, just like COVID. We cannot wear masks, we cannot take safety measures, because figuring out new ways and acting in solidarity is the great inconvenience that cries to the heavens for vengeance.

Right.

They also appeal to the boogeyman of LIBERALISM! SOCIALISM! COMMUNISM! MARXISMBUTABORTION!!! And figuring out new ways is godless humanism!

LOL. Sorry sunshine, wrong place.

The fact that their political enemies (who they have absolutized and dehumanized as absolute evil and incapable of doing anything good) have started catching onto reality in some ways and are implementing Catholic teaching on care for the environment, while they themselves (the True Catholics) have been asleep at the wheel, drives them totally batty.

There are some who oppose such environmental stewardship simply because it's a politician like Trudeau who is giving it the go-ahead. I'm no fan of Trudeau. But these fundamentalist idiots, as always, shoot themselves in both feet by turning him into absolute evil who can never ever do anything remotely good. If he's doing something good then it must mean he's using it to commit GREAT EVIL!!!! But C. Columbus giving children as sex slaves rape victims and butchering the indigenous people in the thousands, ripping them apart with dogs - it was complex and he did so much good and we must retain his statues at all costs!

One internet mystic-locutionist who, by the implications of his own words, is more infallible than the Pope, recently stated that the Pope's remarks about same-sex civil unions has introduced the beginning of a persecution the likes of which we will not have seen since the French Revolution.

LOL

Anyways, it's pretty much, oh yeah? What's that you say? Where is the pandemic everyone is talking about, and where is the pandemic of plastic, because you don't see it? Okeeydokeey flatearther.

Sorry sunshine, wrong place.
