Recycling Police
No one has checked my garbage lately, but I’ve always disagreed with recycling and garbage disposal in the Toronto area, as Sand in the Gears writes.
I’ve always said that it makes much more sense to incinerate the garbage - including all the recycled items. This is just another example of how the green lobby has brainwashed the public into thinking doing something, no matter what the cost, is better than doing something the greens label “evil”.
As an example of what I mean, consider the fact that many towns and cities in this area actually have laws requiring their citizens to recycle. That’s right, in these places you either sort your trash or pay a fine. What’s more, the laws are enforced by busybodies armed with the authority to root through your garbage as it sits on the curb, in order to ensure that you are doing your part to depress aluminum prices.

Why Blogs are Right Wing
An interesting article on Why the Blogosphere Is Conservative.
The bottom line is that successful blogs are interactive, and derive audience by links and user comments...whereas the mainstream media tells people what they think they should here.
Such tactics simply don’t work in the blogosphere.
When people get a chance to speak without censorship, they say things you would never hear on CNN or NBC. They vent their contempt for the Left, and express their resentment of Big Media for pushing leftist ideas.
No gatekeeper or force field excludes leftists from the blogosphere. It’s just that their feeble little voices get drowned out by the crowd.
It is very hard to find some of the good blogs - I have been looking, believe me!
But the best blogs comment on the news of the day, often intelligently, each entry accompanied by links to the news articles in question.
Well, that’s what we try to do here…

Neat site
Every now and then a neat site comes up.
The only right wing aspect of this sight is that it’s about a family that actually stays together
On June 17th, every year, the family goes through a private ritual: we photograph ourselves to stop a fleeting moment, the arrow of time passing by.
