The Table

If we get rid of all the rocks, the cavemen won't fight.

So, I was waiting in the Timmy's drive thru lane today listening to CBC or some leftist talk radio (I know), when the subject turned to gun control. It pisses me off that the first reaction of the left is always to disarm the victims after a shooting. The man in being interviewed had lost his daughter (truly tragic) in a shooting, and wanted to get rid of the guns. Would his reaction have been different if she had been stabbed? Would he be campaigning for better mental health care or better proactive measures to detect and stop violent acts? If you even mention the word gun, people line up on both sides like gym class dodge ball. It is an issue that is too political and far to emotional with very few people listening to reason or facts.

Pee Stream

Sometime in for future, scientists may discover a parasite that can swim up the pee stream from the urinal.

If she floats, she is a witch and we will burn her. If she drowns, she was innocent.

Why can't we switch to ethanol or bio-diesel? Why does it have to be electric? I'd even consider hybrid if it wasn't pushed down my throat. Why do environmentalists never consider the destruction of natural habitat for lithium strip mining or the carbon footprint to produce electricity for charging?

Dentist

I went to the dentist on the second week of my vacation this Spring (March), and they gave me the sunglasses for the glare thing. They were wet; there was fluid on the noise guard that got on my face and close to my eye. Tears from the last patient? Did it get in my eye, did it not. I don't know. I know they are professional about sterilization of tools and professional regrading hygiene; but, SARS was perpetuated by a doctor's pen in Toronto. I started thinking, "what if I get Hepatitis from fluid transfer from dentist's glasses?" Are I overreacting, or is this a valid concern.
