Westerners considering separation

More than one-third of western Canadians surveyed this summer thought it was time to consider separation from Canada, a poll suggests. In the survey, 35.6 per cent of respondents from Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta and British Columbia agreed with the statement: Western Canadians should begin to explore the idea of forming their own country.

Interesting. According to historians, about 1/3 of the colonists in what became the United States were in favor of that independence movement, so maybe there's enough sentiment up there for something to happen, eh?

From David Reinhard (note the male ponytail reference at the end): There's, like, a major corporate financial scandal goin' down, dude. Some greed-head wheeler-dealer took almost a million in government funds intended for children and Alzheimer's patients and put the...

Fire rages at a chemical plant in suburban Detroit

There have been several of these sorts of fires in the last couple months or so. If the Chief were paranoid, he MIGHT think that someone or some group might be trying to knock back our petrochemical infrastructure to negatively impact the economy, especially with the well documented tight situation with refining capacity.

Naaah. Surely Homeland Security or someone would tell us if something like that were happening. Wouldn't they?

Then again...just because I'm paranoid, doessn't mean somebody isn't REALLY after me!

Claim: Muslims Had Nothing to Do with 9/11; Dirty Zionist Hands Behind It

This guy shows apparent evidence that he lives on some other planet since he's describing something that has no resemblance to any reality on Terra.

"Our enemies weave many lies about us, which we are not necessarily aware of. For example: One day, we awoke to the crime of 9/11, which hit the tallest buildings in New York, the Empire State Building [sic]. There is no doubt that not a single Arab or Muslim had anything to do with these events. The incident was fabricated as a pretext to attack Islam and Muslims. The plan was to take over the world's energy sources, and to achieve this control by force and not by agreement or negotiations, by interests, free trade, or anything like that. This is what they wanted. "So this incident was fabricated - and Allah knows that the Arabs and Muslims are innocent of it - in order to serve as a pretext to attack Islam and the Muslims.

Seriously though folks, the Chief doesn't know whish is worse: that he believes this is true, or that he knows it isn't. If he believes it is true, then the man, apparently a person of some stature in the mid-east, is a total psychopath with a view of reality that has no resemblance to anything true. If he doesn't actually believe what he's saying, it's even worse, for then he must have grounds for thinking that there is a significant audience out there that DOES think this alternative version of reality is true.

In either event, there's no rationality, and certainly no basis for any sort of meaningful compromises.

Chad, you keep ignoring the hard questions. For those interested in the question of when does human life begin, I direct you to Robert George's posts at National Review's The Corner here, here, and here. Wow what a religious nut....

"Erin," writing in the comments to my post yesterday: Character Assasination 101 is under way right now and it should be noted that even though I have only talked about the "players" that I have had direct contact with, there...
