    Living in the city is a more efficient way of living than having everyone out in the country on a farm, because there's too many people for us to be living sparse and widely distributed...at least according to environmentalists like David Suzuki.

    Philip K. Dick really opened my eyes to a whole new world...and he did make Gnosticism cool. A parnanoid science fiction writer introduces us lost souls to God.

    um telus here in Canada announced a year or so back they were going all IP too. Probably why their dsl service rocks, seriously I've used so much bandwidth and never gotten a call or complaint. ...hmmm I should set up an open wi-fi gateway....

    Well, I thought the second one was the best of the trilogy.

    Correction, just mother in law, Indira looks so old she just brings up an image of a Biji...

    I seem to remember that a woman was just elected as Prime Minister (a big leap for India!).

    Not really a big deal if it had happened, Indira Ghandi was PM a few decades back. I think Indira was Sonia's Grandmother In Law. Indira was hardly fine example of a good politician either.

    But what's the point of having the president if he has no real power? Seems like a waste of money to me. Yeah us poor folks with monarchs have to pay idiots who are born to be the heads of our state. I'd rather have someone elected. I don't know anything about Indian Government, but I suspect their president does what a monarch would do. Like disolve parliment if their government screws up, and sign bills.

    Huh? What's wrong with Archaeologists? Knowing a bit of history doesn't seem to be a bad thing in politics.

    Suppose species are wiped out, migration patterns shift, ecosystems turn to deserts, deserts to to jungles, evolution gets a kick in the pants in general... Can somebody give me a fundamental, justifiable reason why that is "wrong?"

    That would cause a lot of hardship for a lot of people, and most of us don't like social darwinism.

    Like saying killing my "competitors" with a gun wouldn't be wrong, if we're talking like an extreme social darwinist, killing people would be considered smart...but most of us have some ethics, and foresight.

    That's a really sweet image, thanks, seriously. Almost enough to convince me to try the marriage/kids thing...almost, heh.

    I thought the sceen in Matrix Reloaded was very well done and not gratuitous at all. It fit well with that part of the movie.

    One of the many reasons the first sequel was the best of the trilolgy too...

    Yeah I meant as Finance Minister...

    Man, I really hated the jackass we used have as a PM. He made Mulroney look like a freakin saint...and that's no easy feat.

    Yeah it's surprising how many American's are ignorant of the above fact.

    Does anyone out there know how much it costs to extract a standard barrel of oil from the tar sands?

    Sure it's more expensive than just scooping up the stuff from saudi arabia, but a lot of money is being invested around here...

    FYI

    This budget page says the Canadian Federal budget was 192.9 Billion in 2003. The numbers are at the bottom of the page.

    I'll hand it to Paul Martin, the debt hasn't decreased much. but at least it ain't increasing while he's been in charge...

    Like Bill Clinton managed to? Just a few years ago, people were actually predicting an end to the debt, because of the budget surplusses. Damn that sure changed quick under King George.
