It’s the subtle difference between a JUSTICE system and a LEGAL system.
One aims to maintain law and order in society in a fair and equal way regardless of one’s status or situation.
The other is a system gamed to benefit the richest and wealthiest individuals to get away with everything.

- Comment on ‘Furiosa’ First Reactions Say It’s a Stunning Powerhouse (But No ‘Fury Road’) 1 week ago:
It’s completely unrealistic when I first saw it. Great fantasy but so impossible it’s more like a piece of pulp fiction on film.
Any woman that beautiful in a post apocalyptic world would never exist. They would be raped, enslaved, bought and sold like a prize within months of the world breaking down.
Whenever I see or read scenarios like this I’m constantly reminded by a quote by Kurt Vonnegut, a veteran of the second world war who wrote some great books about war including ‘Slaughter House Five’ … he said … “In war there are only two types of women, those that have been raped and those that will be raped”
When the world breaks down and there is no law and order any more, the women are usually the first to suffer.
This is why I thought this film was unrealistic with such a beautiful model actor as the lead.

A more simpler description is … “the universe should revolve around me and my personal happiness and freedom” … Therefore … “If anyone disagrees with that, then they are communists and anarchists that want to destroy world order … my world order”
It’s a mentality that always revolves around them

One of my favourite solutions is to just work furiously with shorts and a t-shirt. Constantly moving keeps the bugs away but you still get bitten quite a bit. Then when you’re done work, you jump into an ice cold lake which soothes all the bug bites on your skin. Then dry off, put on the jeans, boots, long sleeved shirt and sit around the fire.

I live in northern Ontario and I spend a lot of time in the summer outdoors and there are days were you can be swarmed by mosquitoes.
When my friends from the city give to visit, they look at me weird for wearing jeans and boots on a hot summer afternoon.

A controversial addition to this is … onions
As soon as I say this, most people look at me like I’m crazy and even disgusting. But the combination of thin slices of raw onion and cheese is amazing.
Most people I serve this to still refuse and say they don’t like it because of onions. But many can’t help but agree it’s a great combination.
I was convinced of this combination years ago during a holiday in southern Spain. There one of the most common cheap street food sandwiches is a fresh bun with hard manchego cheese with onions. I ate so many of them I love the combo now.
- Comment on I'm glad my meat didn't go to waste. 4 weeks ago:
It’s a Christian thing where people want their bodies preserved as long as possible in the belief that when the biblical end times arrive, you want a full body to rise from the dead. I’ve heard many relatives say to me that if you get cremated, there’s nothing left to rise when the Lord comes and takes everyone.
I’m Indigenous Canadian and the historic burials we had hundreds of years ago before colonization by Europeans and their Christian traditions was a lot different. I’m Cree / Ojibway in northern Ontario where there is mostly swamp, or rock and very little in between. Historically when we buried our dead, we built a simple scaffold of trees about ten feet high, then place the body on top, then mark the location with the tallest straight pole we could make. The body and marker would last maybe five to ten years before it would all disappear because of animals, insects, extreme cold, damp, and even forest fire. It takes longer to decompose if the body is left in or near swamp or wet areas. In deep swamp, the conditions are such that a body and bones could last for decades (look at the historic discoveries like Tollund Man )
When I went out to visit many of the places where my ancestors were from, my family knew where they all lived and travelled … but there were no markers, identifications, headstones or anything anywhere.
The land was just as pristine and beautiful as when they first used it while they were alive.
That’s exactly what I want to do with my legacy.

I plan on having a cremation, no religious ceremony, and then about $5,000 towards one big buffet with lots of food and non alcoholic drinks. If people want to say or do stuff, let em. Otherwise they can all have a fun get together and some food on me.
I had an elderly old friend of mine years ago put it to me this way …
I really don’t care what you guys do, you know why? I won’t be there.
