The truth about 9/11
The truthers tent was out again this weekend in front of the art gallery to dispense the inside knowledge that 9/11 was a false flag operation by the U.S. government to start a war in the Middle East and on and on and on. I do like when people are passionate about a cause. Their world has been made better by motivated individuals who support a cause, bringing it to the attention of others. The truthers, however articulate and or smart they may be, are so egotistical by asserting that their version of what happened is the truth over all experts and commissions that studied 9/11. So unsatisfied with the actual truth, so unwilling to except the reality of what happened on 9/11, they have chosen to construct a reality to fit their own predefined view of the world. Facts that conform to their story are repeated and spewed out and other contrary evidence is ignored or decided to be sourced by those in on the conspiracy. Stories of people directly involved in the incident are not enough and scores of expert reports that explain away all their questions about what happened can not stand in the way of their self satisfying quest to bring the truth to light. But it all reeks of arrogance and fulfillment of some kind of online social fantasy. If only they could feel as passionate about whats happening in Syria, The Congo or that stupid pipeline right here in BC.

A choice not to beat you up
This rant is to the four slightly drunk morons who entered the Two Parrots pub on Friday evening and, after offering me the rest of their beer,called me a 'faggot' when I told them that I don't drink alcohol. I have high-functioning autism and I've had to put up with this kind of name calling and teasing and other bullshit all of my life. You can't imagine how many times I've wanted to break every bone in some people's bodies. However, thechoices that I've made have allowed me to earn a great reputation as a volunteer in the community, hold down paying jobs in which I've worked my way offdisability benefits.All of those benefits could disappear I if ever made the choice to join the Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»Clubof Mean and Selfish Assholes which you and many other idiots belong to by beating the crap out of you all, then getting arrested by the police only to have a criminal record. None of you are worth losing everything that I've worked for and of which I and my friends are very proud of. But be warned should you ever insult, ridicule or bully someone else with nothing to lose you might soon realize just what it's like to be a victim so do choose yourbattles very carefully, for it might be your last.
