Think of all the things I could've learned. Like this -

Quite a list. I feel like such a perv.

A perspective on global warming that didn't occur to me.
And yet, it's so obvious. Before we end up getting scorched off the face of the Earth or drown in a flood, we'll probably first starve -

Unlike most climate worriers, it's not the melting glaciers that keep me up at night. It's rain. Hot air holds more water. As the average temperature increases, we can expect more clouds but less rainfall in all but the highest and lowest latitudes, as the atmosphere holds on to more of the available water. If we keep doing nothing, and the most likely climate change predictions hold true, the regular rains we depend on to grow our food will become more and more erratic. Let the planet's average temperatures rise by more than seven degrees, and we can expect a new desert in the United States extending from Kansas to California to form by the end of this century, joined by new deserts across Eurasia and the other breadbaskets of the world. We might still have rain in Seattle—but nothing to eat. Human civilization dies in this scenario, just like it would after a nuclear holocaust.

In a democracy, the lack of choice election candidates results in demise.
Case in point - http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/quebecvotes2012/story/2012/09/03/quebec-election-analysis-lynne-robson-pq-marois-final-sprint.html
People usually vote for the status-quo, or what they believe is a change in scenery, which often is the previous status quo.
That's what you're seeing here. Quebec residents are poised to elect a party that believes in restrictions in what and how you speak, and where you do so. And this party believe in such restrictions more for younger people (like college- and university-bound and far younger) because they believe it's the only way to save their culture and way of life.
It's funny but I left Canada many years back because I felt was Quebec was on its way to imploding. Today in this day and age where dialog, content, heck slices of culture are available on just about any device, and with whomever one chooses, to then try and return to a previous way of life by trying to 'legislate' people back to a prevous millenium, is far more ridiculous to me now than it was back then.

More than 10 years after 9/11, and what has Shrub's GWOT gotten the US?
This - US suspends Afghan police training.
More stuff you won't see reported much in the US corporate media. If anything, the lack of reporting as the news filters through will once again trump the actual story.

New Frakenfood coming to your grocery isle near you, without warning.
Ah the end of summer, school is back in, the crops to be harvested ... sounds nice ...?
Yeah, no.

•Dow 2,4-D and Glufosinate Tolerant Soybean - Since the US first began using GM crops, our herbicide usage has been boosted by 300 million pounds, despite claims by biotech behemoths that other plants like weeds would not grow resistant to glyphosate – commonly known as RoundUp. And now, we have “superweeds.” Of course, biotech (and seemingly the USDA) doesn’t care, and they plan on adding the 2,4-D herbicide and dicamba (see number 4) to the list. Take action here.
•Syngenta Corn Rootworm Resistant Corn - Plenty of nations have banned Syngenta’s GM Bt crops—but not the US. This type of corn produces its own pesticides and kills all bugs, good or bad, which also means livestock can get sick from eating it. Research says that 80% of pregnant women have Bt toxins in their blood. Take action here.
•Okanagan Non-Browning Apple - Conventional apples are covered in pesticides. That’s why we buy organic, but Okanagan has produced the first GM apple. Take action against genetically modified apples right here.
•Monsanto Dicamba Tolerant Soybean - Take action here.
•Dow 2,4-D, Dlyphosate and Glufosinate Tolerant Soybean - Take action here.
•Genective Glyphosate Tolerant Corn
No doubt the American corporate media misinforms the public on this? You bet.
Yeah, no.

In crapitalism, you only need to follow the money.
Once you understand that, you realize it's a system that cannot be reformed or repaired.

And unhappiness. Let's start the latter first; to get it out of the way. I realize that a great deal of what makes me unhappy in my life...
