So we have an obscure law that’s never been enforced in the past.
http://laws.justice.gc.ca/en/E-2.01/14580.html#section-331
http://laws.justice.gc.ca/en/E-2.01/15701.html#section-500

And anti-Moore folks are claiming that this law applies to Moore because he urged Canadians not to vote conservative when he was up here pimping Fahrenheit 9/11 and he should be thrown in prison and fined.

Now you might say, “Oh my god, that’s retarded. Boo to the conservatives for being such whiners about this. That law should be repealed.”

Well… let’s think about that… Let’s say some rich dude… perhaps from an oil company (because we’re on the subject of Moore) decided he wanted to tell Canadians “I’ll give you each $1000 dollars if you vote for the “Let’s join the U.S. and be the 51st state” party.”

This Law protects the Canadian people from that sort of nonsense, and that’s really what the law is there for.

Hopefully this will go to court, Hopefully the court will decide “no this law can’t be applied to speech” and the precedent will be set.

of course, even if that happens… here in Alberta,

So I just got back from Fahrenheit 9/11. The film wasn’t quite as good as his other films… but I’m behind him on the message he’s sending… and given the choice of movies today I’m thinking I spent my money wisely.

I saw Bob Wilson at the film. Bob was my language arts teacher. Bob was also the principal of my Jr/Sr Highschool… so I saw a lot of Bob, once upon a time. (I might have had him for Social Studies at one point.. though, I’m not certain.) Anyway, he said he was surprised to see me there, He said he thought I was a big Bush supporter. I jokingly replied “Oh I totally am. I’m just here to see what lies this Bastard Moore spews.” That seemed to satisfy him.

I got to thinking later… Hmm… Bob might actually believe I’m some sort of fascist. In his classes he’d have us write current events type essays about Iraq and how WE would solve things. At 14 as a guy who hated reading newspapers/watching T.V. News (still do actually… news should be read online where you can glean 12 different viewpoints on an issue before you decide what makes the most sense to you.) my standard response to questions was “Blow it up, problem solved.”

Quebec wants to separate? BLOW THEM UP
Unrest in the middle east? WIPE OUT THE MIDDLE EAST
Cant get your T.V. to work? THROW IT OUT THE WINDOW
Tough stain? THERMITE!

Did I really believe in better living through destruction? NO. But was writing an essay from an annihilationist viewpoint dead simple cut and dried? OH HELL YEAH! I still propose ridiculous solutions like that, to this day, when I’m put on the spot, Some people figure out that I’m being facetious others don’t… oh well.

I think Bob had me figured… but it makes me wonder what other less “with it” teachers who read that B.S. must think. Not that I really care about their misconceptions but I think it would be pretty funny if someone had me pegged as a Nazi.

I made a few changes over at http://www.vegreville.net Still more to come and fixes to be made.

I like how everything in my life is in sortof a half-together state of disrepair right now, feels like I’ve got some real attackable goals in Fix A, then B, then C.

Of course, since it’s me, I fix “Q” first… cause it looks easy, then “Y” cause it might be fun.

An A, B, C sequential plan would probably get me farther faster… but I’ve never been able to work that way.

I was dropping off some Paper at the recycling depot and I spotted a box full of Dick and Jane style children’s books.

So… I’ll have to think of a found objects style art project.

Strictly speaking AA, AAA, D, and C cells aren’t “Batteries”

A battery is an array of things, intended to be used together. So like… 2 double A cells in your Remote control= battery, 1 triple A Cell in your penlight= not a battery.

Who cares.

What I really want to know is…. what does a SINGLE A cell look like?
I’ll google it later and post.
