Damn you Capitalism...

Listen, I'm what most of my friends like to call a Conservative.  I don't put much stock in it, as I have some very socialist views, to go along with my Nationalistic fervor and the desire to make sure people actually speak English OR French before emigrating to my country... I mean come on, we give you two languages, PICK ONE OF THEM.  But unfortunately the common theory people hold Conservatives to, is that it's all about the money, big business is awesome, and if you're not paying your own way, you're a drain on society and should be tossed on the streets.

I only agree with about half of those statements, and no I'm not going to tell you which ones.  The problem with this is... Capitalism fucking sucks.  I like it better than Communism and all that, but seriously, it's bloody ridiculous.  I'm in the Marketing world. I sell crap.  I understand the value of spinning crap and making everyone love the idea of your product and see value where there is none.  The problem with advertising, is that it's mean.  You see, Advertising really only works on Stupid People.  Not just slightly stupid people, I mean completely, irrevocably, mentally retarded people; and we prey on these poor dunces like Hyenas on an injured Gazelle.

The reason for my rant today was an advertisement I saw on Television yesterday.  See the ad, and the rest of my rant, after the break.

Tuesday Afternoon Musings

Well, I have gone a few days without updating the blog, so I figured it's time to get off my ass and spread some more of my musings.  Now, this is one of the first rather political oriented blog posts that I've ever made, and I have the distinct pleasure of actually reporting on a rather Left Wing Issue. Health Care.

Now, I'm from Canada, which was most lately lauded as the home of North American Socialized Healthcare. That's because it is, we brought it in, and we only share this massive landfuck with the United States of America, so obviously, with our reputation as being the polite, kind, unassuming icemen from the north, nobody really was suprised to find out that we have health care up here.  After all, with cases of Polar Bear maulings and frostbite every day, you clearly need to socialize the health care, so everyone can stay out there trapping furs and what not.

Welcome to my Insanity

Ware the Ides of March
...So wrote William Shakespeare in the play Julius Caesar. What does it mean though? For most of the educated society in this world, it means simply to beware. In Julius' Caesars time, it meant to beware the 15th of March, famously the day where he was stabbed in the back by his good friend Brutus, a man he trusted fully. Strange, isn't it?

So why the hell did I pick this name for my blog, do I have a complex where I believe everyone who I trust and love is out to stab me in the back? Only on my dark paranoia induced days. Normally, I'm actually a fairly content person, who trusts his friends absolutely, and is only prone to self pity occasionally. But that's not the issue here. The issue is that I'm writing a blog. It's a completely narcissistic past-time that has become all too prevalent in our society. Any idiot with a PC can write a blog, and almost every one of them pretends its because they feel they have a 'duty' to share their views with society at large, and to educate the masses.

Bottom line people: they're doing it to make money. Every single one of them. From the left wing marxists, who preach about damning the man, to the right wing crazies who want nothing more than a way to sell your eyeballs and sheeplike tendencies into a profit. None of them bother to tell you thats what they're doing though.

So I make a promise to you, now, in my inaugural post introducing this blog. I will not lie to you. Why am I blogging? Because I like to vent using words, pretending that my opinion is more valid than yours, and because I hope to make some meagre amount of money off of this. I also hope (KEY WORD HOPE) to entertain you.

So what will this blog be about? Everything. If I find it interesting, if I find it cool, if I even find it remotely funny, and I deign to remember it the next time I post on this blog, I'll post it. Will you read it? I hope so, but if you don't... well, you don't, and fuck you for not reading it. LOL.

That's it, thats me out, this is the first of, I hope, many visits.
