Straight goods. Not the usual Davey HorseSh!t
Baby Walkers ane now banned fron sale in Canada. You know, those devices on wheels that allow a kid to either sit or toddle around before it can realy locomote on its own. Maybe Davey should collar all the used ones he can find and sell them on the Black-Market. The worst they can do is deport me as an undesireable alien and I'm leaving this over-regulated paradise soon anyway. It would save me the fare!!! The rationale of course is that kids are 'walking` to cooking stoves and checking out what those nice red whirly things are and falling down stairs. But it isn't the walkers that they should ban. It's dumb f!rkin parents. But the coming into force of this ridiculous law is an ominous event. Davey wonders if the next thing on the Kanadian Police State agenda might not be training wheels on kids bikes. -- le Vent a Dos Davey Crockett Six-Day site: http://members.rogers.com/sixday/sixday.html |

It's dumb f!rkin parents. And how would we do that (it may not be a bad idea)? Here are some suggested categories of parents to ban made in the spirit of creating a kinder, more gentle world (aka, A New World Order) ;-) 1. Couples who are members of guilt inducing religions. E.g.. Most Christian and Islamic denominations. 2. Couples who are registered Republicans. 3. Couples who are self-described Progressives. 4. Couples living in trailers (double wides excluded) 5. Couples in which one or both are from the Philadelphia area. 6. A couple of which Tom K. is one part. 7. Couples who cycle without cycling helmets (except for residents of Ottawa who will be encouraged to have multiple children who will be required to have organ donor cards) 8. A couple, either of whom, posts anonymously to Usenet. |

That's why Canadians flock across the borders into the medical facilities in this super expensive USA. |

It is well known that guilt is not known to those growing up in Jewish households. |

Then they came for the baby walkers, and I didn't speak up, because I didn't have kids yet Then they came for the junk food, and I didn't speak up, because I was in training Then they came for the cyclists, and by that time there was no one left to speak up for me. But did they come for Svend Robinson, MP? Noooo! The only saving grace is that I moved out of his riding four years ago. I uh, need some bike time. -- Ryan Cousineau, rcousine@sfu.ca http://www.sfu.ca/~rcousine/wiredcola/ President, Fabrizio Mazzoleni Fan Club |

Then again, Jesus was a Jew, so I should be covered anyway. |

The here may be some parts of the HMO model that can be imported into the UK and Canadian systems. The US would, IMO, do much better with the current system of medical care delivery with a single payer as opposed to over 1600 for-Profit health care providing insurance companies. But....money talks in US politics, so it's unlikely to happen |
