We're wondering when politicians ready to bargain weapons for votes are going to start buying knives.
Cutlery appears to be a great current favorite with angry individuals who cannot afford guns.
At least a half dozen people get poked, slashed or stabbed daily according to media reports.
The rush to replace human evolution with machine intelligence is accelerating.
That should scare the Hell out of us, but apparently, it does not.
New cars offer more ways the car can do things better than the guy behind the wheel.
That's true until a specific case arises. It's when a sensor or software, made to respond to an algorithm, gets fooled.
Not for me. If I do something stupid on the highway and have to take the blame, eventually that will call my ability to drive into question.
And that's a good thing.
Dilbert is gone.
Apparently, more of the most brilliant comic strips have been warned to cut back on their more incisive art and commentary.
Last weekend's strips in some cases ran fillers. Others omitted their captions. They are trying to avoid anything that might earn the disapproval of their readers.
Why? Readers who disapprove can just simply move on to the next strip. I resent their interference with what I choose to read.
Editorial view? Nothing must be controversial by modern standards. The result? Nothing of any adult interest.
When comic strips are no longer allowed to publish material of intellectual value, we have to look upon who exactly is making those judgments.
We also might look again at a nation whose collective judgment has somehow deteriorated into such Nazification.
There's a great deal that needs to be examined and evaluated by that segment of our society no longer hobbled by the chemistry of reproduction..
As usual, the media sees the transit assault solutions in Toronto as band aids and duct tape.
So far, we haven't seen nor heard anything addressing the real problems.
Clearly, it's a social illness. It's what our society has become. Society in the city core has gone sick. Not just with Covid. And not just in Toronto.
That's government knowingly depreciating the value of our money by printing more to buy votes.
There's no mystery as to what hungry people, deprived of their ability to pay bills and honor their financial committments will do when their backs are to the wall..
They're out there doing it right now.
And hiring more transit cops is not about to make a noticeable difference.
The Putin Vs Ukraine scrap is beginning to look like not just another neighborhood brawl. It is taking on the appearance of a full-scale modern weapons evaluation exercise.
Both Eastern and Western powers are participating.
So as not to be left out, Canada's war ministry has just announced intent to test our fleet of battle tanks by sending them to Ukraine as soon as they become serviceable.
Making our four (4) designated tanks battle-ready shouldn't take too long.
Apparently Putin tried to declare a recess in his war against Ukraine for the Julian calendar Christmas, which both he and the Ukrainians observe on Jan 7.
Didn't work, according to reports. Gunners on both sides kept lobbing shells across the border.
Poor Putin will have to apologize to Dyed Moroz (Grandfather Frost) as he empties lumps of coal from his Christmas stocking. .
Concerns about whether or not we should be made to wear those medical masks again to reduce the current crop of viral infections might be a symptom of erratic logic.
Of course, in Ontario, the left-leaning public sector would like the government to once again enforce it. They blame Doug Ford for his hesitancy.
The NDP and Liberals, who apparently don't believe in individual personal choice, are shown threatening fisticuffs in the Ontario legislature.
Has anyone thought at all that the current rash of viral infections is probably the result of extensive previous use of those masks?
Over the past two years there was much media speculation on how those masks were preventing not only the spread of Covid, but also a whole range of minor sniffles and coughs normal to seasonal changes.
Question: Is it possible that the temporary absence of those minor infections in our resperatory passages prevented our immune systems from keeping evolutionary pace with the minor miseries?
Is it possible that this is what our current crop of sniffs, coughs and snorts is all about?
