    We used to have a system of the more you earned the more tax you pay.
    Now we have a system that the low paid pay tax and the people in the
    Middle pay tax but the really, REALLY big earners pay next to nothing !

    And toilet paper. Don't forget toilet paper!




    (it's a luxury in Ontario where a previous government determined it as not a necessity and therefore taxable).

    So I got the tv on and on comes the news.

    There's an update on the Malaysian plane shot down, which is depressing enough but then comes on a piece about Gaza.

    On the report, the aftermath of a rocket attack on a park. Kids have been hurt and killed. The injuries are horrible. Two lads who were mates 'played together, were killed together and now will be buried together.' Their bodies are carried through the streets and they're described by their fathers as martyrs.

    I go upstairs and look in my daughters cot, she's sleeping soundly.

    Sometimes the news can be wholly depressing. It's times like this I realise how fortunate I am.

    Coming from a country besieged by religious hatred. Anytime I think
    I might be wrong ( in being an atheist ) I just tune into one of our local
    Radio talk shows, on any subjet., and all the bigoted, hatred comes trotting
    Out. Not only against the "other religion" but towards gay people etc. I'll
    Point out that this comes from all sides. X-(
    I really hope my daughters after a good education move away, to anywhere.
    Where they will not be judged by what is an accident of birth your religion.
    So I agree100%.

    I made a short visit to Gaza as a student in the late 90's. The area is heavily populated and ridden with poverty. They are fenced in on all sides by Israel and Egypt, making it effectivelly in an open-air prison on a beach. The place can also be seen an political and religious pressure-cooker, making the next generation a generation with no hope and only anger. Their only outlet for their frustration is the inaccurate rockets they send towards Israel, however politically unwise. They never get to meet an Israeli anyway, like the older generation did. When a bus full of Norwegian students came, shoeless children ran after the bus, waving and cheering. Local didginitaries came to our party in the evening, something that speaks volumes of their isolation. It's a sad situation getting worse every year, because the radicals on each side get to set the agenda. I have no time for Hamas, but I feel for the children of Gaza.

    sounds like another rouse to raise more tax
    have they taken into account that you need to have been in contact with apes/chimps/gorillas
    not seen that many in Bluewater :) but they do have some at Howletts zoo park in Kent

    A bit of deliberate marketing for the new ninja turtles film, passed off
    As an accident. 8-) a poster for the films release on 9/11 showing
    Them falling from a burning skyscraper has been pulled as offensive.
    Which is what I assume the marketing team wanted !

    Perhaps in future instead of just being made to remove an ad, a huge
    Fine ( going to charity ) could be imposed.

    NATO unprepared for Russian threat. To quote John McClane
    " Welcome to the party pal ! "
    I wonder if the massive defence cuts and sacking of thousands of soldiers
    Might have something to do with it ?

    Didn't know that, as I always think of Aldershot as home of the Paras (been to their garrison a few times )
