Story Slam tonight

Starts at 8.00 PM 245 E Broadway. Check out the link in the title for more details.

I'm thinking of telling a story if I can get on the roster.

Heard about it on BC Almanac Radio One, I think.

You have to be there at 7.30 to sign up for a five minute tale.

Just called up and they say its not on anymore, but at the Rhizome onBroadway on Sundays.

Story telling is an art of communication, rarely practiced in today's world.

A society which participates in and values story telling is a gentler, kinder civilization. I believe that we are sadly lacking in these talents and are suffering social division and unrest because of it.

The National today confirms my post below!

Go to the link in the title of this article and watch the National for September 8th 2008. You will see that the poles show exactly what I perceived during my campaigning on Sunday 7th , the one entitled "Canadian soldier killed,7..."

As I have said before, people are not interested in the Afghan mission nor the political conflict of leadership. People want, no crave, real policies for the future, for keeping the country competitive so that we can have jobs and do well in the world economy. Those policies which might have helped us today were shunned by Mulroney and his clowns.

The young parents on the National in Toronto are interested in a future for their children more than they are in driving cars.

I believe our politicians are behind the momentum on this as every other issue. This is my proposal for Vancouver:

I would if I could work to implement a vehicular magnetic strip licensing system with remote road sensors. A nominal fee for the initial yearly tag, and then a fee of $1.00 per day it is sensed on the roads.

The home owners would see a direct deduction in their property taxes for these tax incomes. This would encourage the use of alternative to fossil fuel burning personal transport and reduce tax rates for home ownership close to where one's employment is. a change in lifestyles.

A further benefit would be a reduction in policing costs because all vehicles would be able to be traced in real time. Of course a record could be kept for later perusal of all vehicles on all roadways. Crime would be much more difficult to conceal. Compare to the rate of deaths and injury from Cannabis use, the hit and run fatality and injury lists are staggering. Is it because many of these random hit and runs are committed by otherwise "respectable" citizens, that all the attention is diverted to me being a threat for smoking pot, while hundreds are killed or maimed every decade in Vancouver alone?

Fack you Mr.Harper, I'll not be your target of convenience anymore!

The daily vehicle fee would help off-set a portion of the real cost of fossil fuel burning personal vehicular transport to our environment, as well as spur on the search for alternatives and encourage the use of bicycles and public transport.

I have done this personally 4 years ago and can assure you that our citizens would become healthier, happier, and wealthier if they were encouraged to get out of their cars. This would lessen the burden on the health care system and make us a better adjusted more civilized society as people begin to socialize with each other again. I can at 58 get anywhere in this town, or within ten miles on my bicycle faster than a driver, if I had a week to get into the route and logistics.

And it really is getting pleasant, looking at all the healthy people that are on their bikes now! Much better than Cadillacs.

The resistance to this change is due to our addiction to the car as a marketed consumer product, as deadly to the entire human race, as a crack addiction is to an individual. Heroin was a legally produced pharmaceutical, too. But it wasn't used by the majority and mass marketed so heavily that the car becomes a symbol of personal freedom, an inalienable right! Even trumping my right to breath clean air!

Therefore, it is insanity that we make people who smoke pot criminals, but worship those as successful who drive a hummer! We really have to wake up and give our heads a shake, or be ready for a swift calamitous end to all this hypocrisy. This is a blatant deadly waste of the worlds limited resources to serve the gods of American Consumerism: Materialism, money.

It is legal, marketed madness, supported by religion! Much more dangerous to life than Marijuana. Yet I'm called stupid legally by my Prime Minister for holding my rational thoughts.

We'll see who is stupid soon enough, Canada. Steven Harper and the bovines who vote him in, or people like me who are calling for real change now before it is too late. You are definitely making the bed you will lie in with your children's future. Yes the Germans thought Hitler was a real "leader" too. The same with the Americans and George Bush. Harper is a hollow metal robot ready to serve up your children's future for American ideology.

As a soaring pilot, having made many challenging decisions successfully under the influence of Marijuana, I know what it means to be at the point of no return. I assure you that this is where we as a nation, as a species, are now!

I can also recognize a lie without difficulty.

Cannabis sales in Vancouver, today!

Yes you guessed it! Another advertisement. There is a huge competitive market in Vancouver.

This is to remind you that I am pro actively servicing clients over 19 years of age who wish to purchase Cannabis from me.

I am aware of all the legal ramifications but this is also the end of my line with this insanity.

The events spurring me on to this stand are one, two, three and the final straw.

This is a total outrage to me that we are tormented today by the religion of myopic zealots a century ago known for their blatant racism. It is making our society unsafe, causing police and government corruption and has put a tool of oppression into the hands of tyrannical governments, which they are only too willing to use to excess.

I am providing a safe choice at a reasonable price ($10.00/gram, 3.5grams/$30.00) to people who wish to purchase their cannabis from me.

Some good Indica "Grape" on tap today 778 329 6043 Evenings 6-9

Click on the title and plug China Creek Park Vancouver into it. When you have the one up by Great Northern Way I am a block away--give me a call and I'll tell you where. No need to do risky street deals.

We have the right to change this crime causing legislation and keep our children safe from uncontrolled sales in the playgrounds.

Until the governments get real, I will do what I can to change this for the safety of Canadians.

Support my activism. Help me change things. Buy your herbal products from me!

Every cop, crown attorney, and judge is making a good living keeping this unsafe insanity in place. I will try to earn the same to help make Canadians safe.

FAIR IS FAIR. I WILL NO LONGER BEND TO THIS POLITICAL, RELIGIOUS AND LEGAL TYRANNY......

Just was talking about this open policy of mine with an intelligent client (aren't all pot smokers intelligent?). I can't be sure who might be a police officer or not, and so rather then let suspicion ruin my encounters with these nice people who come to support my campaign, I take this attitude:

I take it for granted that one or more of my customers are probably undercover cops verifying that I am actually doing as I say I am here. At least they are sending nice people, polite, not creepy seedy undercover vice cops. These people must be fresh new recruits. Hopefully they will get to practice policing in a landscape where drug laws don't exist to make their jobs exponentially more difficult.

Canadian soldier killed, 7 wounded in Afghanistan

As I go around Vancouver trying to run for city council, to my regret no one seems to be focussed on the afghan war. They aren't even focussed on City politics.

I find this a strange thing because I am endlessly engaged on all fronts and care about every nuance of what is currently happening. Very few people care about much beyond their personal lives.

As a realist I must consider my scheme of Technology Assisted Direct Democracy as impractical. People want to be led, and like to complain.

Politics: It is a nasty business, pulling the wool over someone's eyes. There can be no honor in it, by its nature. People don't want to listen, but talk about their ideas (just like me). The most passionate debate today focussed on off leash dog park issues. Perhaps a jaunt defending the right of a person to use LSD or any other substance that they wished without criminal sanction, was a close second.

If I can say that will defend a holy roller's right to roll holy, even though I believe they are nuts and dangerous, then I expect the same freedoms! Otherwise I really don't give a crap what these Canadians are dying for. Certainly not to make me free or keep me safe. Their buddies keep on saying that we should not cut and run. Who in the hell do these brainwashed grunts think they are? My elected representatives? Go ahead and die for American Imperialism, that's your prerogative. It doesn't mean that you have an edge on what is ethical for my Country. My views are just as valid.

Maybe the lack of concern over our continued Canadian losses in a controversial war is a defense mechanism to keep themselves isolated from making a true commitment to war in general and to this one specifically. It is a low level issue because people wish to avoid the hard subjects. Or maybe people know instinctively that it is an artificial war and don't have the nerve to oppose it like so many Americans have been coerced to support idiocy to remain patriotic.

I can't reconcile the numbers of surveyed Canadians who claim to be against this war and Harpers 38-40% support. Someone is sitting on the fence! Or that is the level of understanding in the minds of Canucks. We can't figure that a vote for Steve, George's buddy, means an extension beyond 2011. I think Obama wants to be there forever, as well, to prove that he too can kick ass with the Marines in Good American Tradition.

To have a political White Wolf is special!

Too bad we didn't meet up with Jake (whose picture is on the title link), but it wasn't meant to be.

I tried to soft sell the politics and invite people to read my stories and visit aloofus's blog. This was a much better all round feeling for me today saving my voice.

Truly, I would be nowhere on the political scene without him. If he wanted to run for any office he would stand a good chance of getting in!

Thanks to those who supported my campaign, I really needed it. And to the young man who showed me his ID without complaint, thanks.

What a nice day and I see that some have nibbled at my stories.

There were a few Felini-esq sets, with table clothes, vases full of flowers and all set in lovely surroundings. Thanks so much for letting me intrude for a moment and share your company. Please dig into my stories, they're free; a gift to you. You might be entertained, might even get a glimpse of my soul. Please pass on the links.

Vote for Marc and myself we stand for change.

It's another beautiful day in Vanouver, yet some are sad.

Sadly, the deaths and injuries at a valley mushroom farm are heavy on my heart this morning.

It is important that people who work in situations where there is danger from gas or foul air exposure, learn to not rush in before assessing the danger to themselves and other would be rescuers.

In Gordon Campbell's world all that matters is that his selected buddies are well compensated, while poor worker training and qualification standards are taking a steady toll of my fellow citizens for lack of funding.

Stephan Dion's dog, Kyoto, is not a White Wolf

Yes of of course Kyoto is cute, but alas a White Wolf he's not. I hope he is getting out enough.

The more I see of Dion the better looking he becomes, especially when he is with Kyoto.

But he is still a liberal who have had too much power for too long, for their own good.

We need real change, not more has-beens.

Try voting for any one other than the Conservatives and
Liberals to "Voter Train" our politicians to be more voter responsive.

Let's not reward either one of these autocratic entities, as if we were training a dog. No rewards for bad behavior.

It is discouraging though, when I look around at the people in the dog parks. By the looks of it, the canines are smarter then the primates who own them. Who picks up whose crap, after all?

Emerson to co-chair Tory election campaign

"Turns out Harper is now doing better THAN HE DID WITH Maxime Bernier, at hiring a proper fit for a post!

A turncoat, lying fraud like Mr. Emerson is an appropriate choice to head this team of Fraudsters.

Well done Steve, as your bud George would say."

Constable Holtz restored my faith in the VPD (somewhat)

Just got a call from a thorough police officer Constable Holtz of the VPD who took my complaint incident # 08-171073.

Apparently they are concerned for this old toker. Thanks!

I certainly will call them, should I see this goon following me again!

You really made my day! I hope the karma flows your way as well!

I'd like to run for the Marijuana Party in Kingsway

This is only one of my issues.

There seems to be no real choice here for Canadians, no broad perspective. I was reluctant to run for a single issue party a few years ago and am still against party politics now.

The only issue that the Marijuana Party demands unity on, is the prohibition issue and our fight for sanity. Other than that, it leaves its candidates totally independent. That's Awesome! Because then they can represent the people who elect them.

I will implement TADD in my riding.

I need to have someone stand up and loan the money to my campaign (it's totally refundable), for me to make the effort. It's $1000.00

We truly need new fresh perspectives in our current mix of viewpoints.

***************************************************************

In watching the news about all the campaigns and seeing all the political people shining in their enthusiasm, I see everything appears exactly the same.

Didn't Einstein say something about insanity being the practicing of the same error and expecting a different result.

No wonder so many ordinary people who don't wish to control everything are turned off. Most people who own no property only want a fair shake, nothing that isn't due to them. They are concerned about having a roof over their heads at a fair price, while the Property Holders/Developers are concerned with how much their investment appreciates.

The property developers are interested in shaping the future to feed their selfish affluent materialistic concerns.

The poor are denigrated and trained to think of themselves as powerless. They are concerned with everyday living and confused by the complexities and have no real advocate to stand in for them.

It's a fixed fight. Much like the way a PM has the ability to call an election at his whim ambushing his opposition and stacking the deck in his favor. and we thought that was fixed.

We believed that we were beyond that as a Nation but Mr. Harper has proven the consummate liar, showing us he'll do anything he wishes no matter what laws he passes (Thursday the 4th after watching the National and local news, I added this)
