If it were true we really can't do anything about it.

I think green energy is a path to peace (even for those who deny climate change) - no more ME oil wars, with those using religion as a weapon. And I think when the dinosaur politicians die off of old age - not too long in the future - we might actually be able to achieve it.

Yep - no ageism there.
 
The politicians aren't running the show. Multi-billionaires are.
Jae. are you getting sensitive about the passing years? Not doing the thousand metres as quickly as you used to? Are you reduced to clocking your time with an hour glass instead of a watch? Follow my example, my boy. Tell people you don't run any more because it inflames the passions of women who see you.
 
I suppose there is a little bit of ageism, if you want to call it that. Or, just people reluctant to move into ways of running the world other than how it has always been run. And, logically, younger people replace older people in that venture - and most younger people in the world, I think, want green energy, and no more wars (wars cut into Facebbok time. ;) ) I think most people in general want an end to wars, but I see green energy as a valid path to peace. Meanwhile, old school leaders continue to wage wars over oil resources. But we're at a crossroad, and it 'could' actually be a good one. Eventually.

@ Graeme,
Is a little knowledge dangerous?

Yet they try and tell us they know god ... neigh everything ...

"we have to be stewards and innovators all at once. to be self-critical is good. it's a correction mechanism. but to be self-critical to the point of self-destruction is not good.any good thing in excess is a poison. the environmental nihilism with which we are attacking ourselves is useful...up to a point. but at the moment, it blinds us to our accomplishments and to our obligation to fashion even greater accomplishments in the future. it blinds us to the things we have done and are yet to do for life itself. for nature."

That man is quite a flower isn't he ... although a bit dark to the berserkers and them running free with emotions and little concern (ans) for the greater good ... in anti-pragmatic philosophy? How to stew the self ... boil down the surrounding support system as in redaction? Then there is the alternate stew'd art ... innovate a message so it won't appear you are giving the mortal cognizance anything conscious ... the mute message? Tis quite a caldron ... some say a kettle of fish or a numb school ... naïveté as best incarnation (appearing as it isn't)!

And this goes on eternally ...

I've said this before, Kimmio, I think you overestimate the capabilities of the upcoming generations (and i've supplied several of that generation, as well, and I'm not trashing any individuals.) Just speaking of Canadians, we seem to have a rather over-protected generation coming into play right now, who are, furthermore, coming of age in an age of persistent joblessness. Globally, we've got some persistent pockets of severe human rights deprivations for women and LGBTQ persons, also some severe pockets of gender imbalance, as in China, which may make more war-like conditions almost inevitable for a generation or more.

We will have to move towards sustainability and green energy FAST if we're going to persist in living on this planet. Stephen Hawking thinks it already too late. Remains to be seen whether the true power brokers of the world, the shadow-y underworld of corporations, will latch on to this to further their own self-interest, or not.
 
Saw in the news this morning that Kevin O'Leary has said that he "inspired" by Donald Trump and may choose to run for the leadership of the Conservative Party of Canada. God help us all.

I posted a link to the CBC article in another thread (the one about his offer of $1M to get Notley to step down). He's probably not going to play the race and religion cards the way Trump has but O'Leary's acerbic, confrontational approach is something we really do not want in Canadian politics.

Probably why the party that put all their money on the "He's just not ready" campaign got to give a concession speech on Election Night.

So ye
s, O'Leary's smashmouth style probably won't win him any political points save for the types who thought Rob Ford's bluster (got him to the position of Mayor and saved his butt when he bailed back to simple Councillor) and those who thought that the best way to win an election was to go all in on the "He's not ready" campaign.

Alarmingly there are enough who think that points to credible leadership.

In the interview with John Moore just this morning I think that O'Leary put at least one pitch out of the park when he appealed to the brain drain and the fact that many Canadian trained entrepreneurs appear to go elsewhere to enjoy success.

I'm always leary when folk use words like "most" without having anything credible to point at as evidence.

That said, I think that there is some truth to that statement. O'Leary wants to reverse that trend and if he could do that it would be a feather in his cap.

Of course the problem is how do we get from here to there.

As a businessman I think he is nothing less than a success. I don't believe that translates into political success as much as political hopefuls try to convince us that it will.

I don't think his skill set works in the office of the Prime Minister.

My sense is not so much that Canadian entrepeneurs go elsewhere to enjoy success, but that they go elsewhere to enjoy more success. Specifically they go to the United States, and they do it simply because the US is a market that's 10 times the size of the Canadian market, and there's more money to be made there. I don't think anything that O'Leary or anyone else could do would change that one basic fact. If your only goal is "more, more, more" then you won't be staying in Canada. That's just reality.
 
revJohn, you were listening to John Moore? Was that on Toronto radio? In my radio station days, I was on the same station in Montreal with a John Moore. Is it possible he's the same person?
 
Do you suppose that soft politics will bring down these powerful pede stalls?

Would radicalism destroy most of the 'ole thing? Nothing left but the Bo Zoan in a tiny vessel ... steerage? Enough to have kilt a portion of the talent for mean thinkers ...

The chit of the higher ups?
 
Kris Kristofferson and Wile Nelson sang about this: "Please Don't Tell Me How The Story Ends" ...

Real men; powers, celebrities, rich in emotions, etc ... in proper virtue don't give a chit!

Wee people read between the lines as lesser understandings ... negative O'z? Thus things can boil up later in brain storms ... creating bubbles of emotions and Red Roses and Yellow Ba Loons ... and there the song goes on ... can you imagine?
