The Second Video Generation





Judy Garland (June 10, 1922 – June 22, 1969) was an American actress and singer. Through a career that spanned 45 of her 47 years, Garland attained international stardom as an actress in musical and dramatic roles,...




It's an odd feeling. You look up this song you like, and you find out some girl sang it , and you've known that name all your life , you think.

Then you check the dates, and realized she died of old age while you were still in diapers.

It does things to your head when you start to realize...

You can look back in time, via this computer , this internet , this youtube site (who knows what it will be called next year) and see how people lived their lives long ago , see their entire lives from birth to death.

Oh they could do that a century ago with books. Except 90% of the population couldn't read and write.

Now. Bored . Nothing better to do , a single question comes to your mind.

How far back in time does this dang thing go ?

We are the second video generation. Looking back at the first , who lived their entire lives , and died of old age , in front of the camera. We are the first generation that has something to look back upon and observer their body language, the cloths they wore , what they thought was moral and right.

And we can't argue with them , we cannot debate, because their time is over , they are gone, they are not listenning.

We can only observe , and wonder.

New Liberal ads attack Harper over jets, tax cuts

New Liberal ads attack Harper over jets, tax cuts

After complaining bitterly about the conservatives using tax payer funds to make attack ads (which the liberals did all the time ) the liberals come out swinging with their own ads.

Since liberals get a certain amount per voter because they used to be in power, doesn't this mean that even if they paid for it out of their own fund s, it's still canadian tax payer dollars ?



The federal Liberals lashed out Friday with two new attack ads that take aim at Prime Minister Stephen Harper over the sole-sourced purchase of F-35 stealth fighter jets and planned corporate tax cuts.

They are a direct response to an ad campaign launched earlier this week by the Conservatives.

The election campaign-style television ads focus on two issues certain to be key planks in the Liberals' campaign when an election is called.



So your two key planks are....

1... WE thought the F35's were a great idea when it was our idea, but now that someone else is doing it we hate it.

And ...

2... giving money to corperations is bad. Unless we do it. Because we do it all the time, corperate donations are what made us the party we are today ...until those donations were declared illegal that is.

These are your issues ?

Help me out here. Are you trying to win the next election ? Or are you deliberately throwing it ?
