Why Biden Won

Why Biden Won
I've been following the broadcast news for the first time in a very long time and it's because of this election. I'm very sensitive about false accusations of fraud, such as those apparently being made by the U.S. president and his supporters right now. But perhaps, as a Canadian, I am able to distance myself enough from it to offer Americans an objective summary of the situation.

What is going on right now has largely been caused by economic stress. I heard one report that unemployment is up as high as it was during the 1930's. Such widespread hardship may give rise to radicalism, as it did in Germany at that time. When people have no job security, there is too much time for them to sit and dream up conspiracies to explain it all. I know. I was unemployed for a long time. But, since I've been working four to six days a week, I've calmed right down. I look back on some of the things I wrote in the past and shudder, but it's too late to change it.

A democracy stops being a democracy when its opposing parties become too polarized. There must always be tolerance and recognition of dissenting voices. This works both ways. So, I might easily have said in the preceding paragraph that these lawless websites that let anyone climb aboard and say the most outrageous things are all populated by a bunch of worthless layabouts who'd rather sit around the radio in the middle of the night than look for a job in the daytime. Instead, I put it in a way that shows pity for their weak condition and does not entirely fault them.

By the same token, I could have said that my late house mate brought on his own demise through a failure of effort. Instead, I refuse to pass judgement on him. He was already suffering miserably as it turns out, so why would I want to punish him? This might go for every street person you see in the course of a day. Try to remember that they don't want to be there.

And if you're a Republican who was surprised by the election results this year, consider how people vote during tough economic times. People want a softer government when they are not sure where their next meal is coming from. Now, isn't that a more sensible explanation for Biden's win than conspiracy?

CrimeTube Stinks

Crimetube Stinks Look at all the plagiarism on Youtube today. Here are a couple of my old erased posts from 2006. I've still not received a dime in royalties for them. Let me tell you, a crime like this is so wrong, I bet its victim could still go to heaven after committing a mass-murder/suicide. For the CBC's sake, I hope I'll not be pushed that far. If I'm lying, come and lock me up. If I'm telling the truth, what price will you 18 million viewers pay for supporting such evil fraud? And while I'm at it, does Youtube really need ten commercials on that old forty minute WW2 documentary I saw last night? Surely, it couldn't have cost that much to produce and share. Say what you want about America, land of the free, home of the brave, we got some dumbass motherfuckers floating around that country [like George Carlin fraud fans]. (Now obviously that doesn't include my readers). And I'm not just ranting and raving, I have some evidence t

Special Delivery

Special Delivery I have been following the war, mostly on DW News. Again, I stand firmly with Ukraine. I hope the Ukrainians can stop Putin in his tank tracks, not just for their own sake, but because Poland may be next otherwise. Poland is a NATO country, which would drag my country of Canada into the war, and I don't want to be in a war. Who would want that? We need to avoid that until the last possible moment. But, for what it's worth, I have given some thought to how we might slip those replacement Migs across the Poland-Ukraine border. I suggest we disassemble them and disguise the parts as cleaning equipment, perhaps industrial vacuum cleaners or something. Yes, I'm sure Kyiv could use a good vacuuming after all those artillery shells. I'll tell you something else, my gasoline consumption is zero. Putin never got a cent out of me, because I can walk to work in ten minutes. I don't mean to joke around too much through such sad and serious time

Poetry Can Hurt

Poetry Can Hurt I've just heard about the Dr Seuss ban and it doesn't upset me at all. I don't read Dr Seuss anymore. As for racially insensitive imagery, if it upsets visible minorities, I give them the benefit of the doubt on it. I'm white, so my eye misses those kinds of details in children's books. But you can tell he ranked the 'whos' above other races. Remember that scene in the Grinch that Stole Christmas where they're all singing 'Gottes Sohn Ist Kommen' and one of the grown-ups picks up little Cindy Loo Who so she can adorn the portrait of the fuehrer with her wreath? Sorry, I know I shouldn't be joking around about it too much. Poetry ought not to hurt anyone. Oh, by the way, there were an awful lot of rhyming verses being broadcast to millions of people from 2007 to 2011, or so, that brought terrible harm to someone. That someone was me, their author. What kind of monstrous illusion is created by putting sweet stolen
