I can't handle any more subscriptions it is taking up too much time and energy but sometimes you read something that begs response.

I live in Quebec and last time I was in Columbia SC the fountains were frozen and yesterday we had a tropical storm here in the frozen North.

I am 74 and done statistical analysis with the best of them for 72 years and better than the best than the best of them. In fact when I see the pundits lie with statistics I usually start haranguing my poor wife as to the ignorance of her countrymen and their propaganda.

In Quebec abortion is not a right it is a medical procedure whose efficacy is decided by the woman and her moral compass. Citizenship begins at birth and ends at death and doctors do doctoring and priests do whatever priests do but they only have the power of persuasion. The Quebec language press says only journalists can censor what they write and most Quebec journalists are censored by their own moral compass except those working for English Language corporate media or Quebec language corporate media.

I read latribune.ca every morning and I subscribe and pay into a fund setup by OUR government to make sure we have a media we can trust so we can continue being a Secular Humanist liberal democracy.

I was never an advanced placement student which is not achievable for an autistic entity with a genius in logic and linguistics and who at 74 uses one finger and a multicoloured keyboard to type but still can't sign his name and can't draw the facsimile of straight line with a pencil and a straight edge.

I do however talk a great deal because I can no longer tolerate all the BS. Voltaire was correct perception is reality and if you don't understand what is being said all that is left is perception.

South Carolina lives on perception and Clyburn, Scott and Graham are America; all sizzle no steak. Fries straight out of the freezer. Fried battered texturized protein straight out of Brave New World with just a hint of chicken and lots of salt and fat.

I live in Appalachia just north of Vermont in an agricultural and tourist region world famous for its maple syrup, poutine and its Fall colours.

I know what real fried chicken tastes like: first you start with God's own chickens not hybrid Cornish cross. Real chickens grow protein they don't just convert water and imitation feed into fat and water and fragile bone. In Quebec James Clyburn would be a right wing conservative but but when your choice runs from right wing conservative to Monty Python's Very Silly Party James Clyburn seems almost liberal. Liberale means FREE to adapt to reality in the language of Edmund Burke and Benjamin Franklin. I belong to Thomas More Institute of Montreal. It is devoted to life long learning. The Thomas More Society in America is a society for legal pedants devoted to maintaining perpetual stupidity. The Same Thomas More who lost his head to Henry the Eighth's axe handler.

My wife is cursed with a PhD and was a public intellectual before she retired and I am under the care of our Bureau of Autistic affairs. In South Carolina Autistic means intellectually challenged in Quebec autre means the other and autistic means strange and exotic.

I live 100 metres from the Appalachian trail. You know a Quebec metre is about a million light years longer than an American epiphany. Of course light can slowed down and even stopped and the speed of the energy is now an unknown. It is an x rather than a constant.

I know the Bible. It is the myth legend, poetry and understanding of my people. It is the story of evolution written in the vernacular of the time where almost no one read and scribes scribed Kings and story tellers. They didn't even know how to make magnifying glass. Imagine an electron microscope made out of volcanic glass.

My Brother Jesus believed in Darwin. He said the meek shall inherit the Earth. Did he mean peasants like me or cockroaches like congress people and Senators.

I always wanted to be an advanced placement student and the the status of being wise informed but I failed shop and only differently gendered hominids could take Home Economics.

I make no pretenses about my mental stability. This week I stood in our local supermarket offering logic lessons in exchange for help filling my cart. My eyesight is that of an old man who lost sight in one eye. I always shop with my wife but she grew up in the American Midwest and understands little about the way people are supposed to eat even if she taught teachers who reach home ECONOMICS. My wife is a scientist not a priest and doesn't hocus pocus but she never taught logic which is metaphysics and makes things simple not complex. If you can do logic shopping is a breeze and inflation is for other people to figure out. I don't have a Ouija board.

This can of of beans costs x pennies per gram of protein, fat and carbohydrates and that bag of refried beans costs x pennies per gram of protein, fat and carbohydrates and the Canada food guide suggests you consume x amount.

i don't understand why people who have gone to college can't read nutritional labels. They are more important in understanding their universe than FOX News.

Home economics is science American economics is Voodoo and witchcraft and crystal balls.

No wonder Mr Graham is a leader in the land of the blind a a blind drunk leads the parade.
