100 LITER SOLUTION

Now that gas prices are forcing everyone to take a closer look at their consumptive paradigms, perhaps a simple solution can help? I suggest we all voluntarily adopt a rationing plan. A plan akin to the ones our forbearers had in times of war. Say 100 liters of fuel per person per month? If you commute you have to trade for fuel with someone who doesn't use all of their allotment. Sound crazy? The alternative seems to be much worse...Ignorant drivers pumping out copious amounts of greenhouse gases just so they can drive their hummer to the mall for some more, 'made in china' goods, to stuff into their already overfilled houses.....

Xwilil’xhwm or what is in a name?

I recently asked a local Caucasoid historian if they knew anything about 1st nations land use on the Western Island that I live on. To my surprise she said the 1st Nations did not live on this Island but would just meet here. I was confused. If you flip the characters in her story around it is like telling some visitor from the future that the United Nations was just a meeting place and had little significance since no one lived there! This got me thinking about when white people put the thousands of years of 1st nation stories into a totally irrelevant measure, their historical significance just disappears. How convenient. Poof gone no issue here. I have seen the study of past times called “his story” , and I think maybe it is time to call it whitestory when it is propagated from the mouths of the Caucasoid. So you may wonder where I live and what is the name of the place? That depends......do you want the name the Spanish gave it as they sailed by a couple of times, some two hundred years ago? Apodaca. Or do you want the name it has been called for thousands of years by the many people whom met, talked, drummed and celebrated here? I think it makes sense to call it the latter. Xwilil’xhwm.

BABY YOU CAN DRIVE MY CAR.......

How come not having a drivers license is used against people searching for employment? Frequently when one makes application for employment one of the questions asked is do you have a valid drivers license or ‘ a valid drivers license is required ‘ for this job. This probably was an effective way to screen out those with alcohol or drug abuse problems or those who were not making support payments to an ex spouse ( as in BC family maintenance’s policy of revoking drivers license to encourage support payments) . However, now days, those who chose not to drive for environmental reasons are finding themselves discriminated against for doing their part in the reduction of their carbon footprint. I think it makes more sense to screen out those who drive great big jacked up pick up trucks in the urban area as there seems to be a connection between illegal activity( read drugs ) and the use of these vehicles. Moreover, the employment questionnaire/application should ask :Do you lease a large truck? Just thinking.

SURVEY SAYS........

Be careful of what you wish for. I always thought that the major political parties were opportunistic but now I know for sure. The BC Liberals, whom were just recently trying to stuff coal fired power generation down our throats, looked at the polls and saw how reprehensible this was to the electorate. Their response was to present a new green agenda to the people of BC. An agenda which coincidentally removed coal fired power from the equation by requiring it to be zero emission. A requirement which vetted out the very projects Gord and the goons had been pontificating in Princeton and Northern BC. So rather then actually caring about the environment, one that they were willing to befoul with the construction and combustion of dirty coal, they tried to dupe the people into thinking they were really a green party. A party that has since decided to prostitute our wild rivers into the service of their private corporate friends.

Shifting the focus onto the Federal reform/conservative alliance, Stephen Harper has also paid attention to the polls. The same man who globally embarrassed the nation with his rejection of the Kyoto Accords, has taken the opportunity of increased public concern of the environment to slap another tax on us. Instead of really doing something for the natural environment, Harper has decided to make the poor pay a disproportionate amount towards the consumption of carbon based fuels. The same carbon tax idea that the BC Liberals came up with. It makes one wonder if the mandarins in Ottawa are using the same game plan as the twits in Victoria. So rather than trusting these shape shifting slime bags, we should all be very cognizant of there records. Kyoto killers and Coal smoke stinkers. Actions always speak louder then weasel words. If polls said we prefer politicians who eat babies for breakfast guess who would be at the head of the lineup for the baby buffet.
