Adam's Ideas

Well, looks like Canada has joined other “developed” countries by joining in the collective effort to tap into our internet connections without a warrant. Thank goodness! All this freedom I’ve had to explore the internet without someone watching me was getting me worried.

It’s a good thing those incompetent fools running Ottawa are, oh forget it. Can anybody out there inform me of a good thing that Harper and his motley crue have done? Swearing at Toronto doesn’t count, rest of Canada.

… is by reading that suburbia is dying and it will never return to the “vibrancy” it once had. Fast Company reports that Suburbia is Dead. Yippeee!

The demand for suburban homes may never recover, given the long-term prospects of energy costs for commuting and heating, and the prohibitive inefficiencies of low-density construction. The whole suburban idea was founded on disposable spending and the promise of cheap gas. Without them, it may wither. A study by the Metropolitan Institute at Virginia Tech predicts that by 2025 there will be as many as 22 million unwanted large-lot homes in suburban areas.

The Onion wrote an article in January 2001 that eerily predicted what Bush was going to do throughout his term.

The speech was met with overwhelming approval from Republican leaders.

“Finally, the horrific misrule of the Democrats has been brought to a close,” House Majority Leader Dennis Hastert (R-IL) told reporters. “Under Bush, we can all look forward to military aggression, deregulation of dangerous, greedy industries, and the defunding of vital domestic social-service programs upon which millions depend. Mercifully, we can now say goodbye to the awful nightmare that was Clinton’s America.”

I wonder what The Onion will write about Obama.

Yeah! Socialism has finally come to Canada! Wait, what’s that?

Oh?

It’s just socialism for the rich, eh?

That’s right, it’s voting day in FreedomLand!

Big questions include who can spread freedom the furthest, who can provide the largest corporate bailout, who supports the troops, and who pretends to care the most.

Personally, my favourite take on the election comes from the Onion:

Honestly, America, I’m still unclear what Obama will change or what exactly he stands for, but without a doubt he’s far better suited to run the USA than McFacism is. Go vote for “hope”!

Be sure to check your ballot because the Republicans have stolen the last two elections, so who’s to say they won’t steal this one?
