Tony At 10: FOOD FOR THOUGHT ...AND ACTION; BLOG # 2186; FRI MAY 03, 2019

THE MESSAGE:

We are all primarily responsible for ourselves. When it comes to others we are responsible for the truth, our words, our actions. and to some degree our empathy. Thankfully we are allowed this freedom in Canada. Ideally we have been raised to make free choices and to be held accountable for these choices. Remember the mantra ”Do no harm’.

THE BLURB:

THE RIGHT TO VOTE:

It is painfully obvious that when it comes to casting our ballots in any election we do one of the

following:

Not bother to vote due to indifference. We are too fed up with the insincerity of politicians.
Not bother to vote due to being incapacitated.
Not bother to vote because we don’t like the candidates.
Not bother to vote in protest of the fact that some criminals in prison have the same privilege.
Vote by casting a ‘brainwashed ballot’ because we are influenced by the opinions of others, the media, or the propaganda of the party line.
Vote unintelligently because we haven’t read enough, listened carefully enough, experienced enough or haven’t been affected enough. (TIME TO MAN UP).

Many Canadians have given their lives to protect our freedom! We owe them and our own children respect by caring about what this country is doing.

We need to educate ourselves on the important issues of Health, Safety, Education, Employment, Canadian Values, Respect for Law and Justice and Freedom for all Canadians. Only afterwards do we need to be aware of and care about world issues.

You may ask “what about the Environment?” I believe in reforestation, air quality, conservation of resources and concern for wildlife, fresh water and food supplies. That being said, environmental extremists have the ear of our decision makers. Our planet is not in peril; however, many of its human inhabitants find themselves in a perilous state because of cultures and outside interests.

GLACIAL ICE KILLS MORE THAN MANKIND DOES

Our planet has always undergone climate changes. It seems to me that mankind’s effort, trying to affect a change in the natural order of things, is steeped in vanity and fruitless endeavour.

If people are forced to breathe polluted air resulting in health issues, then let’s stop polluting by improving technology and taking the time to make it safe and efficient instead of rushing into unproven programs that threaten to eliminate jobs and incomes and raise the costs of production with bogus Government Environmental Programs.

You can always tell the pioneers by the arrows in their asses. It's funny how human beings always run faster whenever they are lost.

SOME PITFALLS

Let’s concentrate on advancing useful products, ideas and services instead of:

· Bigger governments and more civil servants

· New cell phones and gadgets for cell phones

· New mobile devices

· More TV channels

· Idiotic commercials and advertising

· Faster internet

· Wind turbines that are costly and a health hazard

· Games and cosmetics

· Subsidies to private industry

· Speed traps and highway patrols; let’s use our police resources to catch thieves, murderers, child molesters and abductors, rapists, scammers and fraudsters.

We need development with proven overall benefits in:

· Energy consumption and efficiency

· Energy storage

· Rapid transit

· Community facilities

· Cost reduction of health care

· Fighting poverty

· Community college apprentice programs

· Taxation reform

Do You Care?
