Yeah it be me Alison, but I'm off in Vermilion still...

Sure I get credit for this, but paid $700 for the "course" and $600 for the room, + who knows how much for food and bus tickets to come home those couple times

And who the heck is M. Mash?

hmm... more philosophy...
to sum up: everything has to be taken with a grain of salt, and you can't even really trust yourself, so beware. more or less, right?

Well anyway, I have a non-related question to ask: what's everyone doing on this extended weekend?
there's the possibility that people could come over to my place sometime... but I haven't quite figured it out just yet... I'll keep you posted. Anyway, other than that, what else is going on? LIME show? is that correct? and fireworks... what else?

Sorry Par, the correct answer would be 1/3 no junjou na kanjou sung by Siam Shade for the end song to Rurouni Kenshin tv series. Close but no cigar. You named everything except the band who actually sang the song. You would of won a Manipulative Order Build Industrial Labor SUIT. (MOBILE SUIT) Better luck next time.

The following lines were from the outro of Trigun.

Underneath the blue sky, the wind blows towards the future
As if to draw the rays of the sun into an embrace.
I just let it push me around
Leaving only my footprints behind.
If I have the air to stroke my cheek
And soft grass to fall down on
I don’t need anything else.
Sleeping with a contented smile I stare into tomorrow that stretches on endlessly.


Where did I lose those days. Or did I lose them in the first place?

hey i wasn't disagreeing with you. i was just relating it to the post structualist argument of the Self being embedded in systems of knowledge. and besides that particular argument isn't a straightout rejection| of Trust No One as it is a scepticism of unconvinced certainty| how can i be certain of anything?

"Lastly, Bullshit filters, Subjectivity and trust of Self. i won't go into it very much since it would take much too long, but the Post-structualist would argue that you Cannot even trust yourself."

Dammit Eric... you didn't even read my posts. That's EXACTLY what I said 2 posts ago. Here's what I said:

Well, if you agreed that the answer to "Who can you trust?" is "no one but yourself", then I'm completely and utterly disappointed. In my limited experience, the only answer to that question is "Trust no one; even and especially yourself."

Anyone want to go go-carting at the Whitemud amusment park?
I'm thinking on wedensday before everyone splits off and goes to Chili's/Druid/Spiderman.

Probably around 6:45-7,
Let me know

eric, i think nader by that comment just meant dont let ur disgust of liberal mismanagement drive u into the arms of the conservatives, since by voting against the liberals u r essentially voting 'indirectly' for the fraser institute's plan for canada.... he wasnt saying vote for the party that has the best chance to beat the conservatives,whcih would have be similar to the startegy of voting for the guy who has the best chance to beat bush..... as for nader not mentioning the greens.... well the green party of america isnt even endorsing nader for president this time, theyve nominated their own candidate... it may also be a comment on the current direction of the green party in canada, as i happened to read in the papaer a while ago that many of the older members are unhappy with the new platform, and their former leader joan russow, who has since joined the ndp, slammed the party for veering to the right... as eric mentioned the other day, the greens are basically fiscally-conservative with an environmental bent... most of their policies for protecting the environment are purely voluntary on the part of corporations, since the greens would just revise corporate taxation rules to favour companies that are more "green".... gone are the strict governmental regulations that would force corporations to comply with environmental standards..... their leader, jim harris, is a former motivational speaker for corporations, that should speak volumes.... sure its nice to see that they champion environmental protection, but really how different are they from the ndp... they are a party that sold out most of their core values to make a move into the mainstream, and if theyre willing to sell out so easily now just imagine what they would do if they ever had a chance to grab some power..... the green party is morally bankrupt in my opinion

found this and though I'd share it:

The Green Party is like a watermelon - green on the outside and red on the inside.
Rep. Bill Dannemeyer, R-Fullerton

made me laugh...
