I suppose I’m a left-of-center liberal who flirts w/ anarchism & libertarianism. Thr’s a lot of alt, electronic, exp’tal, & “world” music I like. I’m working on fan-fix-tion for The Handmaid’s Tale and Star Trek.

  • It should be in proper English: not these new interpretations—as if they could re-write the Bible—blasphemy! I say.

    ws:Bible (Tyndale)/Exodus#Chapter 20

    1 And God spake all these wordes ad saide:

    2 I am the Lorde thy God, which haue brought the out of the londe of Egipte ad out of the house of bondage.

    3 Thou shalt haue none other goddes in my syght.

    4 Thou shalt make the no grauen ymage, nether any symilitude that is in heauen aboue, ether in the erth beneth, or in the water that ys beneth the erth.

    5 Se that thou nether bowe thy sylf vnto them nether serue them: for I the Lorde thy God, am a gelouse God, and viset the synne of the fathers vppon the childern vnto the third and fourth generacion of the that hate me:

    6 and yet shewe mercie vnto thousandes amonge them that loue me and kepe my commaundmentes.

    7 Thou shalt not take the name of the Lorde thy God in vayne, for the Lord wil not holde him giltlesse that taketh his name in vayne.

    8 Remebre the Sabbath daye that thou sanctifie it.

    9 Sixe dayes mayst thou laboure ad do al that thou hast to doo:

    10 but the seuenth daye is the Sabbath of the Lorde thy God, in it thou shalt do no maner worke: nether thou nor thy sonne, nor thy doughter, nether thy manservaunte nor thy maydeservaunte, nether thy catell nether yet the straunger that is within thi gates

    11 For in sixe dayes the Lorde made both heauen and erth and the see and all that in them is and rested the seuenth daye: wherfore the Lorde blessed the Sabbath daye and halowed it.

    12 Honoure thy father ad thy mother, that thy dayes may be loge in the lode which the Lorde thy God geueth the.

    13 Thou shalt not kyll.

    14 Thou shalt not breake wedlocke.

    15 Thou shalt not steale.

    16 Thou shalt bere no false witnesse agest thy neghboure

    17 Thou shalt not couet thy neghbours housse: nether shalt couet thy neghbours wife, his maservaunte, his mayde, his oxe, his asse or oughte that is his.

    18 And all the people sawe the thunder ad the lyghteninge and the noyse of the horne, ad howe the mountayne smoked. And whe the people sawe it, they remoued ad stode a ferre of





  • Those go into recycling, which, IIUC, mostly go into the landfill because Toronto doesn’t rigourously enforce preparing and sorting recyclables enough.

    For a while I used a 1.5 liter vodka bottle (mostly as a lark) but it got broken.

    Metal containers also aren’t transparent—I like to see what I’m drinking.

    If re-use of plastic isn’t the answer, then recycling is definitely not the answer.

    At least 8 billion humans must stop using plastic.

    Perhaps a more realistic solution would be to sterilize humanity now: that way, by 2099, the environment will start to significantly improve.


  • Maybe, but such would be insufficient, IMO.

    We must cease using all plastic:

    plastic shopping bags, plastic textile bags, nylon, polyester, food wrap, margarine tubs, most electronics, automobiles, electric bikes, pedal bikes, definitely tires, plastic sandwich bags, tea bags, pens, chewing gum, filters, plastic pill bottles, plastic syringes, plastic in diapers, plastic in bandages, plastic in tampons, use only glass bottles for shampoos and conditioners, non-plastic combs and brushes, (most) imitation leather, plastic election signs, plastic gardening pots and trays, plastic garden hoses, plastic piping, plastic fuel containers, plastic casings for batteries, plastic electric chords, plastic in masks for the next pandemic, etc.
