Iraqi Anti-War Protestors Are Misguided

With the recent arrest of Cindy Sheehan in Washington for yet another anti-war protest has finally prompted me to post my thoughts on this issue. To start, I don’t want to belittle the beliefs of Mr. Sheehan as, unlike most protestors, she had a lose in her family directly because of this war. However, in the fight to protest this war and the policies of the US, these protestors are missing a very important issue, they live in a democracy that allows them to protest, unlike the people in Iraq to whom the protestors are supposedly standing up for.

The beauty about a democracy is that we can express different opinions, talk about sensitive issues and slam our governments when we think they are wrong. The problem with dictators is that if you happen to do any of those things, you die. How can any person, living in a democracy, actually believe for a minute that the people of Iraq are in a much worse situation today as opposed to when Saddam was in power? (Read the article)

Hurricane Katrina Donations and the Canadian Government

Like most of you, I have been watching the Katrina devastation on TV with utter horror regarding how much damage and the aftermath. I sympathize with the people who have had to go through this disaster and I sympathize with the relief efforts, because I can only imagine the horror some of those workers must be experiencing.

However, when it comes to the sheer number of companies asking for donations to the relief effort, enough is enough. Among some of the companies is Wal-Mart who not only have a bin set-up when you enter their store (at least the one I was in), they even have their cashiers peddling donations when you pay. I am all for donating to causes, however, let’s have some respect to my time. I seen the big bin on the way into the store, some harassing me every chance you get to pull more money out of my pocket - enough is enough. (Read the article)

Country of Choice and Still be Canadian

This was sent to me by a friend who has a friend who is an imagrant. Warning….. This may be offensive to non-Canadians. Read at your own risk.

Will we still be the Country of choice and still be Canada if we continue to make the changes forced on us by the people from other countries that came to live in Canada because it is the Country of Choice????

Think about it … All I have to say is, when will they do something about MY RIGHTS? (Read the article)

Ban Cell Phones - Ban Mothers in Mini-Vans

There has been a lot of discussion lately about cell phone usage while driving. Although I am not a proponent of driving around talking to people on the phone, however, there are times when it is absolutely required. Personally, I spend about 1/2 of my day in my vehicle driving from client to client, my job in sales. Before you get all angry and upset that I am one of the un-safe drivers on the road, let me tell you that I am of the group of cell phone users who actually uses a hands-free unit.

Low-Rise Jeans

One thing that really makes me happy is the sheer number of low-rise jeans being purchased these days. I had to stop and ask myself, what is the reason that you either love or hate low-rise jeans. (Read the article)
