I’m not a big fan of monopolies, but I dislike a duplicate monopoly even more.
Some of us have religious affiliations and some of us don’t, but we all believe in one non-denominational two-language public school system. It has been estimated the elimination of the separate system could save 1.25 to 1.6 billion dollars a year…(1)
Over the air radio is nearly dead.
The scariest findings dealt with how many people don’t even own a radio at home.
Are you ready? The Infinite Dial Canada 2018 Study shows 51% of 18-34 year-olds don’t own a radio at home. That’s one in two millennials who don’t have either an AM or FM radio where they live.
My only interest in vegan/vegetarianism is to live longer.
Interesting video showing how veganism is being inverted by the powers that be.

Amazing coincidence that I hear this story on the Canadian/US American border after posting this.
Ira Glass tells the story of a little-known treaty dispute with far-reaching ramifications for our understanding of executive power. The dispute is between the President and one of his appointees…to the International Boundary Commission with Canada. This little-known commission carried out its function without fanfare or incident for over a hundred years, until a couple of retirees in Washington State built a wall in their backyard and, quite literally, set off an international incident.

There’s almost nothing out there that I can think of to improve your health than this little dynamo. Add fresh vegetables daily and some exercise and you’ll probably live longer.
Removing children at a young age from their natural circle of care (their family) is the fastest way to facilitate psychopathy.
Sure, they may learn more and become independent sooner (by necessity), but learning to detach and stay detached causes irreversible harm to future empathy and relationships.
It’s no wonder a preponderance of our leaders are raised in these parentless coops.

Who decided to slash through the forest just to denote an artificial border?

For 1,270 miles (2,043 km.) a section of the U.S./Canadian border is formed by the 49th parallel. A 20-foot (6 meter) wide clear-cut (or “vista”) demarcates the line along with 912 survey markers. As the world’s longest straight international boundary, this section of the border runs from the Lake of the Woods (Minnesota/Manitoba) to the waters of the Pacific (Washington/British Columbia). In 1992, I traveled by foot and bicycle along and nearby the course of this line. As a result of my travels, a substantial body of artwork and a documentary video were produced. The video is available on DVD for $17 (includes shipping in U.S. & Canada).
Fantastic audio on scamming the 419 scammers.
Three guys who go by the names Professor So and So, Jojobean and YeaWhatever spend part of each day running elaborate cons on Internet scammers. They consider themselves enforcers of justice, even after they send a man 1400 miles from home, to the least safe place they can bait him: The border of Darfur. The three self-made enforcers tell Ira their story. For more on what they did, along with photos, maps and phone recordings, go here.
