    Maybe NOW you'll believe me?

     
     If there was every more proof-positive, Ontario has become a full-on facist, police state (or in this case, Province), it can be found in the above link.
     
     The amount of bravado displayed by Fantio is not even shocking anymore. But considering he's been given "carte blanche" to behave in such a manner for so long, but both municipal and Provincial levels of government, why should he bother to hide his obvious attempts, at furthering his facist stronghold over Ontario citizens? He's just taking his lead, from peers such as Toronto Mayor David Miller, and Premier of Ontario Dalton McGuinty.
     
     Even a few decades ago, Fantino's behavior would have sent absolute shockwaves thoughout the Province. The notion that a supposedly impartial "officer of the law", sworn to "keep the peace", and "to protect and serve" the general public's best interest, could ALSO formulate AND dictate political policy, is incomprehensible. As doing both at the same time SCREAMS of social hypocrisy. But as a bunch of politically-correct, left-wing, passive tree-hugging aphids, most of us apparently don't find the notion of being babysat, or presumed "guilty" instead of "inocent", very insulting to our psyche.
     
     It's interesting to note, Fantino's "absolute liability legislation" if passed, would, by proxy, make him a "FREE AGENT" working for all companies  insuring motor vehicles in Ontario. Because REMEMBER! It will be HIS minions, determining whether or not an insurance company has to pay out for an accident. And speaking of such....When  EXACTLY was the last time YOU told YOUR boss, when to "cut a cheque"? And furthermore, for how much?
     
     DO NOT be fooled, by Fantino's statement, about his proposed legistation being geared towards, “those who could care less about how they are driving".  Anything purposely phrased that vaguely, is unquestionably meant to be used arbitrairly. Like, for instance, when THE PROVINCE NEEDS TO GENERATE REVENUE. As is the case with Fantino's OTHER previous revenue-generating brainchild. The "roadside seizure" law. Passed last year, to ALSO curb "dangerous driving" (Just HOW MANY laws do we need, for the SAME "problem"?).
     
     After this latest facist crackdown on civil rights, I hope some of you finally see the light of day.
     
     Or maybe you're waiting for them to first issue the "SS" pins for their lapels?

    Welcome to "The School of WTF"?????

     It's not very often here at 'Sordid Life', back-to-back idiocies result in my uttering those three, infamous letters "W.T.F.". Fortunately for you, my loyal readers, today just happens to be one such day!
     
     Let's start with the catagory, "Things you DO NOT want to hear, at 30 000 feet. For $300 please.".........
     
     
     If I'm trapped in a civilian airliner, "ALLAHU AKBAR!!!!!", would be my first choice.  However, the pilot's above admission, would definately qualify as a close second.
     
     Hmmm. What else would I NOT want to hear? How about our tax dollars, funding overseas health projects?
     
     
     I guess nobody in the G.T.A. suffers from a lack of healthcare, is HIV positive, or a combination of the two. And c'mon, people. Let's be honest: Toronto is literally SWIMMING in surplus cash. So what's a mere $200 000 in the grand scheme of thigs? A small price to pay, for Miller's good 'P.R'.
     
     And while on the topic if 'public relations', here's yet ANOTHER 'pat on the back', by Toronto 'Socialist' Hall......
     
     
     Some please explain to me just HOW this qualifies as a "huge success"? How EXACTLY does this stem the tide, of illegally obtained firearms coming across the border into Canada? Precisely HOW MANY of those illegally obtained firearms were turned into the police, by their career criminal owners? And does anyone notice the hypocrisy of Blair's comments? This isn' the first time these "amnesty" tactics has been employed by the City of Toronto. Yet, by Blair's own admission, "the number of shootings increased during the year". Here comes those three, infamous letters...."WTF"?????? Again...HOW IS THIS EFFECTIVE? I can't believe this guy is the Chief of Police. Actually, now that I think about it? Yes I can.
     
     And while on the theme of "irrational thought". Apparently the Toronto Police are re-writing longstanding, established, scientific principles, regarding alcohol consumption and the human anatomy....
     
     
     First and foremost, before anyone goes ape on me, let me state this emphatically: I DO NOT endorse drunk driving, and I don't drive drunk. I lost a family member to a drunk driver, and both my mother and myself have actually been hit by drunk drivers. If you choose to do so and get caught, you should pay the consequesnces of your actions (Unless, of course, you carry a badge. Then you're obviously given a 'free pass'. But that's another story entirely.).
     
     I hold two class licenses, with full priviledges. With over 18 years experience. In acquiring both, I was subjected to the same classroom training, regarding alcohol-related vehilce use. Which literally was the EXACT, SAME education I had received the first time, WAY back in the year 1990. Involving body mass, rate of consumption, and time tables. While there are a host of variables involved with each individual (height, weight, history of use, food consumption during, or prior to consumption of drink, etc.), the crux of what is taught revolves around longstanding, scientific principles. Which state, for every alcoholic beverage you ingest (1 beer, 1 glass of wine, 1 shot) it takes your body 1 HOUR to process said drink. So, with or without a meal, if I consume 4 drinks, I should wait a minimum of 4 hours, before getting behind the wheel. Using the above principles, I was told one can reasonably gauge when it is once again safe for you to drive. Again. This was taught to me, by PROVINCIAL MOTOR VEHICLE INSTRUCTORS. LICENSED AGENTS, for the Province of Ontario. Additionally, two of whom said they drive themselves after consuming alcohol. But only if the quantity includes no more than 1 beverage.
     
     Now, the Toronto Police are quoted as saying in the above article, ""There are no boundaries for time.". Which goes DIRECTLY against what I've been taught scientifically TWICE previously. When did this new breakthrough come about? Where are the documented trials and research?
     
     So exactly WHO is right? Thousands upon thousands of scientific studys, backed by decades of research (Which apparently, is considered concrete enough for the Province to use in its classrooms.), OR, the police? Based on their train of thought, if I have a couple drinks Frday, should I STILL have my car parked Sunday afternoon? Because AGAIN: "There are no boundries for time.". In the same sense, if a police officer has a couple drinks on a Friday, is it REALLY safe for them to come back to work on Sunday, and be carrying a gun? Because REMEMBER: "There are no boundries for time". They could still very well be "drunk", right?
     
     It's these types of remarks that throw everything into question, and just sets back the educational process at a time when it needs to progess forward. Call me a pessimist, but I HIGHLY doubt all the members of the Toronto Police department, are cabbing it back from their Christmas parties this year. 
     
     Please understand: This is primairly NOT a 'rant' on hypocrisy. But a genuine plea for clarification on the subject. I think blanket statements like the one made in the above article, do not benefit the general public as a whole. Especailly when "two sides of the same coin" are sending mixed messages on the same subject.

    "Like father, like son".....

      I'm starting to believe Jesse Jackson Jr. is schizophernic. Really.
     
     The man literally can't keep track of what comes out of his mouth. Which, ironically, seems to be a common, family trait. In the below article, he says, ""When it's over, I want every to know that I want my name back...".
     
     
    However, just mere minutes ago, I watched him arrogantly proclaim to CNN cameras. "I have a great name, handed down to me by great parents".
     
     Oh REALLY? Well Mr. Jackson, let's examine what you have to be proud of.  He's just some of your family's "great" accomplishments. 
     
     First. Allow me to say your dad takes a GREAT mugshot:
     
     
     However. If you want a "laundry list" of shady business dealings, threats of violence, questionable financial transactions, outright fabrications, and credentials that aren't worth the paper they are written on, then by all means! Spend just fraction of your time here, reading about your family's glorious accomplishments:
     
     
     Additionally. if you don't mind throwing down a few dollars (of your OWN money for a change), pick up a copy of this book:
     
     
     Think "daddy" isn't a "racist"? Why he's the worst kind!
     
     
     Ya, son. LOTS to be proud of. Truth be told, you DO have a name. And it's spelt, "M-U-D".

    Congradulations Las Vegas!!!!!!

     'Tis a glorious day in good, ol' "Sin City"! With the blatant return of state corruption, Vegas has FINALLY returned to its early days, of "Wild West" frontier justice. I mean, how else woud you describe the Simpson "conviction"? And let's examine the state's "star witnesses", shall we?
     
     
     
     
     Gezzzz, Nevada. Could you have sank ANY lower than you already have? Anywhere else on the planet, and the....*AHEM*..."testimony", of these "5-Star" sumbags, would have be laughed out of court. I guess all your multi-BILLION dollar tourist attractions, just AREN'T pulling in enough "moolah". Since you're so hellbent on turning your state into a CIRCUS as well.
     
     Remind me never to jaywalk in Vegas. I may end in court fighting for my life, with Theodore Kaczynski testifying for the state.
     
     Morons.
