Green Promises!

One may not be able to tell from this scene taken from the deceased "Futurama," but the issue of global warming is a very serious subject amongst society. So serious in fact that its public interest is only surpassed by other issues such as the Hindenburg and how many children Brad and Angelina now have. Seriously, it's for real. Serious! Dude, I'm not kidding here!
Realizing that global warming will not go away, much like the Bloc Québécois, Stephen Harper is making promises about future efforts for kicking global warming to the curb, or so you're to think. Following suit with a close friend, whom for this blog's reference shall be known as G. Bush.....rather, George B., Prime Minister Harper has alluded to yet another connection he would like to make with American policies.......

(HA. Like Marilyn and JFK, get it??)
All jokes aside, one should be aware of the fact that Canada is strongly considering joining along with our southern neighbors in the Asia-Pacific Partnership in their part to reduce worldly emissions. Bill Curry of the Globe and Mail is wise in beginning and ending his article with mention to the Kyoto Protocol, for in doing so he is drilling into his readers minds, the neglected commitments made by the Canadian Government in previous pacts for the prevention of global warming. Weighing heavily in readers minds as the last comments stated in his article, all one must do to see how important these previous commitments are being weighed in this decission, is perform a simple youtube search on Kyoto. After doing so, one will find that Canada has decided much like the American's to back out of this global policy because they find the commitments they've previously made to be too restirctive and unlikely to comply with.
A recognizable face in Canadian environmental issues, the one and only David Suzuki had this to say to the Federal Environment Minister, John Baird, about the failed efforts to comply with these agreements.

Much like when Dr. Huxtable would preach to Theo and the rest of his clan over important matters, one can not help but take the paternalistic lecture given by Suzuki in the following video to heart. Let down by the failed promises of his government already, Suzuki knows not to look into future promises for they have not been able to comply with previous obligations, an allusion similarily made by Curry at the end of his article. Leaving on the mind of readers as to whether or not this is yet another empty promise.

Did someone mention it can prevent cervical CANCER?!?

Watch Bill Maher, he sums up the approach I will be taking for my first blog.



Sitting infront of my computer, searching throughout Erin Anderssen and Caroline Alphonso's writings on the HPV vacine, I desperately saught out to find hidden encrypted messages and symbols in a haze of words such as "innocent" and "morality," it was not until I was slapped in the back of the head by an almost invisable hand, well okay, not quite invisable and not quite a hand either, but you get the idea.....that I realized that it was the social context of "sex" that seemed to make such an issue so heated when it was adressing the actions that ones child would partake in the future. What daddy used to brag to his buddies about back in highschool now means social isolation for his little girl when she now becomes of age. The conceptual meaning for "sex" seems to have evolved now that it is his little girl that he has in mind. While "sex" had once been synonimous with a good time back in the day, the very thought about ones daughter disturbds and haunts "daddy." Much like in this scene from Bad Boys II. (pardon the French in this video)


The article heats up when the heroic defenders of morality express keen insight as to how such a vacination, with its preventative measures against cervical cancer, is not worth the moral sacrifice our youth would be subjected to, for in taking the vacination, the clock immediately begins to count down as they plumit into the abyss of sexual intercourse. (insert scary halloween like sound effects here) They have now symbolized "sex" as being some lowly act in which some braced brunette under the spell of the HPV vacination is now to succumb to Pimple Pete's diseased ridden quivering member. I wonder if this is how it went down with the condom? If so, look as to how that has altered society now currently accepted meaning of "sex." Last time I checked however, the condom never promised to be a cure for any form of cancer.
So look past these fears. Protect your child as best as you can, for it is your job as a parent! Now having realized that your child is physically protected, rest in knowing you've done all you can, they are going to make any decission regarding sex themselves, much like the decissions you had made after the dreaded birds and bee's conversation shared with you parents. But if the situation does arrise where you get to be protective over your little ones and their innocence, go ahead, have a little fun scarying the hell out of em. Short of idea's follow these ones.

Let it begin, but rather than a "hello world," I would much rather just put up some quotes. Some to make you think, some to make you laugh.....in no particular order.
