De voir les Nation-Unis s'acharner sur la seule démocratie et sur la seule terre de liberté du Moyen-Orient, c'est la démonstration la plus éloquente de l'échec de cette organisation. [Nations-Unis… contre Israël, 13 septembre 2007]



S'il y a une idée reçue qu'il faut combattre, c'est bien celle de l'exploitation capitaliste; une l'idée voulant que les patrons exploitent les travailleurs.

Il est évident que l'intérêt des patrons est "d'exploiter" leurs employés, de les payer le moins possible pour leur travail. Mais il est aussi incontestable que l'intérêt des travailleurs est "d'exploiter" leurs patrons, d'être payé le plus possible pour leur travail.

À ceci rajoutons que les entreprises compétionnent les unes avec les autres pour attirer la main-d’œuvre la plus qualifiée tout comme les travailleurs se font compétition pour se trouver un emploi dans les meilleurs entreprises.

Alors, qui exploite qui ? [Le libre-marché de l’emploi, 12 septembre 2007]



Pour les socialistes, les écarts de richesse ont un effet corrosif sur les sociétés. Qu'importe si le niveau de vie des pauvres augmente, le simple fait de voir les riches s'enrichir est supposé pourrir la vie des pauvres…

Jolie théorie mais les chiffres indiquent le contraire. Ces 30 dernières années, le "National Opinion Research Center’s General Social Survey" a trouvé que malgré l'accroissement des écarts de revenus, le niveau de bonheur est resté inchangé. Bref, les américains, peut importe leur classe sociale, se fichent de voir les écarts de richesses prendre de l'ampleur.

Mais qu'est-ce qui rend les américains heureux ? La mobilité sociale !

Au diable les inégalités, ce qui importe c'est que le travaille permette au gens d'avoir accès aux classes supérieures.

La mobilité sociale, c'est précisément un trait caractéristique de l'économie américaine. [La quête du bonheur, 6 septembre 2007]

Dimethyltryptamine

The book is entitled DMT: The Spirit Molecule. This chemist had administerd the drug to a great number of individuals. Time and time again, the exact same response was brought out by the drug, namely: out of body experience, communication with some form of God. Some people saw the ghosts of loved ones, others fairies. Each case involved a serious lapse in time perception (the effects of the drug usually last 3-8 minutes; however some people experience so much in this time that they truly believe they have been "away" for periods of up to 6 months).

Under the skin in the skull of a lizard lies a light-responsive “third eye” which is the evolutionary equivalent of the bone-encased, hormone-secreting pineal gland in the human brain. The human pineal is denied access to light directly, but like the lizard’s “third eye,” it shows enhanced release of its hormone, melatonin, during the night. Craft notes, “The challenge is to understand the mechanisms which regulate the synthesis and release of melatonin. The pineal gland is the ‘mind’s eye.’ Dissected, the reptile’s pineal looks much like an eye, with the same shape and tissue.

La criminalisation de la marijuana

When we asked at the Library of Congress for a copy of the hearings, to the shock of the Library of Congress, none could be found. We went "What?" It took them four months to finally honor our request because -- are you ready for this? -- the hearings were so brief that the volume had slid down inside the side shelf of the bookcase and was so thin it had slid right down to the bottom inside the bookshelf. That's how brief they were. [...]

There were two pieces of medical evidence introduced with regard to the marijuana prohibition.

The first came from a pharmacologist at Temple University who claimed that he had injected the active ingredient in marihuana into the brains of 300 dogs, and two of those dogs had died. When asked by the Congressmen, and I quote, "Doctor, did you choose dogs for the similarity of their reactions to that of humans?" the answer of the pharmacologist was, "I wouldn't know, I am not a dog psychologist."

Well, the active ingredient in marijuana was first synthesized in a laboratory in Holland after World War II. So what it was this pharmacologist injected into these dogs we will never know, but it almost certainly was not the active ingredient in marijuana.

The other piece of medical testimony came from a man named Dr. William C. Woodward. Dr. Woodward was both a lawyer and a doctor and he was Chief Counsel to the American Medical Association. Dr. Woodward came to testify at the behest of the American Medical Association saying, and I quote, "The American Medical Association knows of no evidence that marihuana is a dangerous drug."

What's amazing is not whether that's true or not. What's amazing is what the Congressmen then said to him. Immediately upon his saying, and I quote again, "The American Medical Association knows of no evidence that marihuana is a dangerous drug", one of the Congressmen said, "Doctor, if you can't say something good about what we are trying to do, why don't you go home?"

That's an exact quote. The next Congressman said, "Doctor, if you haven't got something better to say than that, we are sick of hearing you."

Des French Canadian Québecois

Réaction, en retard (oui oui, je vais visiter Technorati plus souvent), à une réaction à un billet précédant. C'est trop délicieux, vous devez aller lire. Note à la dame: "Vous me direz que c'est une maudite folle d'astrologue mais", meaning: "ok, it might not be representative of you average, rational canadian living/who has lived in Quebec, but", and the irony is that you're writing on racism and you're a blatant racist, not that you're an astrologer; good french, mam', or could it be your blatant irrationality ? Lâche la dope, man. Et, non, je ne m'abaisserai pas à commenter sur le blogue d'une raciste. Je travaille à la James Mcgill University, j'ai mon quota. Et lurker ? It's called the internet; try it, you might like it.

You have to love it when your very own head of state (or here in Canada, your Premier) is equally as intolerant as the state or province he represents.

I must again point out the hypocritical stance of the Québecers where the predominant building in every town – rural or not – is a gaudy adorned Roman Catholic Church, towering over most buildings in the town, crucifixes adorning most government properties, and Mary statues in many front lawns of most farms and homes. Growing up, it was rather difficult to find a French speaking public school… I was once beaten by my grade 3 teacher for not wanting to recite a Christmas poem due to my religious beliefs – she was never reprimanded for her actions. You are expected to recite the Lords Prayer each morning despite not being Catholic. You were in a Catholic school so you do it otherwise feel the wrath of the teachers or nuns that worked there. I experienced that until my father could prove that he went to an English Canadian school – where we were finally allowed to attend an English speaking public school. Many Jehovah’s Witnesses are stoned (not to death), pelleted with rotten vegetables by kids hiding in ditches and in my case, shot at by an Orthodox Roman Catholic man angry at us for knocking at his door one Saturday morning (he shot at my feet as I ran off his property). He said that the next time we set foot on his property; he would shoot us in the head. I was only 12 yrs old.

Religion is fine in the home but nowhere else? Really? Its mind boggling that the average French Canadian Québecois shoves their own culture and religious beliefs down the throats of its citizens but are intolerant of others. It’s a pure and simple case of bullying in the school yard and the bully is the Principal’s kid.

I remember sneaking to the front lines of the OKA crisis when I lived in Châteauguay to find many members of the KKK and White Supremist groups rallying and recruiting amongst the protesters. I was very naïve to think that racism in Québec wasn’t simply reserved for English speaking Jehovah’s Witnesses. Although I ignored my father’s wishes and snuck to the front lines – I needed to see it first hand. It forever changed me. A year later, I moved away and never returned.

So what will happen with this commission that was established to supposedly resolve this issue? The non-partisan commission headed by two Quebec intellectuals, sociologist Gérard Bouchard and philosopher Charles Taylor will hold public hearings across the province and have a year to table their recommendations on ways to accommodate religious sensibilities and practices. These recommendations will then be debated by the National Assembly. Do you actually believe this will resolve the issue of racism in a racist province? Call me a pessimist but I highly doubt one commission will change the mindset of a province living in ignorance and intolerance, especially when the Premier of such province is racist himself.
