ContinueI am wondering if I. indeed we, were more gullible twenty/thirty years ago. Have I always been this mistrusting? Back then the argument from authority was so acceptable. But now I don’t believe anything on first contact, especially the most plausible. I would like to blame the Americans for everything but I know I cant. […]
ContinueThis is just a thought you may wish to peruse don’t take it to heart but why must we only fly the Canadian flag on Canada Day? When I first came to Canada I used to think that every day in Ottawa was a holiday or something was being celebrated. Why…because of the profusion of […]

ContinueThe recently aired episode of Game Of Thrones is totally in keeping with the way twists and turns that have run throughout the entire series. The bast laid schemes o’ Mice an’ Men Gang Aft A-Gley. All the signs were there that this was how it would go down. If I could see it, and […]
