In order to defeat ISIL, we must inoculate all the people from becoming radicalized, both here and abroad. This is the elimination of wrong memes within our traditions, our cultures, and language. We need to identify and eliminate garbage ideas.
There are still people who believe the earth is flat and the sun rotates around the earth. This will be a long haul.
The first big meme is that there is a god. This meme must be eliminated. When we create two diametrically opposed hypothesis, one saying there is a god, the other saying there is no god, the evidence all seems to indicate there is no god.
The evidence must be real, and not hear-say. That eliminates all the old "holy books", and all old religious papers. Those people who cannot be called upon to testify and be examined.
So religion must be abandoned, and logic must take over. That will change the world. Oh well.
There should be a word to describe these sorts of concepts, that have been handed down without testing. Wait, there is, myths. Yes, religions are myths, but we should keep the few truly logical lessons that come out of the stories. That is to say that which is common to most religions, or at least the "do as I say" parts and abandon the do as I do parts. Oh well, in the end we all just die anyway.

Moving On
It is time to accept the environmental loss that is coming and prepare for the future, as best we can predict the future. If the Co2 is not controlled, we can expect climate warming, drying of the Southern US, Mexico, and people on the move northward to where the climate is more suitable for human activities. I expect that there will be seasonal migration as well, where people are trying to avoid winter.
One of the antidotes to high Co2 is dust in the atmosphere to block sunlight, nuclear winter if you like. Ozone production is another. Ozone oxidizes methane at low temperatures, and thereby reduces the methane and methane effect. That would be one way of storing solar energy, spit water into oxygen and hydrogen, store the hydrogen for night use, and convert the O2 to O3 with a bit more electricity. Release the O3, to clean our O2 of all sorts of nasties. We can live with trace amounts of O3 and dust.
Clean air Rachel Notley will not like that but that is but one choice if we are unable to keep Co2 down. We will lose much of the ocean and lake fish, and with that there will be a shortage of omega 3 oils. To some extent grass feed beef can make that up, but only grass feed beef. Humans will be eating jellyfish where they are dependent on fish for protein. Oh well.
Canada will need to become tough to deal with Trump. No more NAFTA, but we are likely to develop medical tourism with Mexico. Many of our imported vehicles will come from Mexico, China, Korea, perhaps even India. Expect the US to become protectionist. They will not honor many of there treaties either, so US will lose credit rating quickly.
Oh well, we live in a rapidly changing world. Who knows what the new US government will do next year, 68 days from now.

Orange haired asshole
Asshole tweets" Just had a very open and successful presidential election. Now
professional protesters, incited by the media, are protesting. Very
unfair!"
like you know anything about fair, you asshole...
“I am the flail of god. Had you not created great sins, god would not have sent a punishment like me upon you.”
"The greatest happiness is to scatter your enemy, to drive him before you,
to see his cities reduced to ashes, to see those who love him shrouded in tears,
and to gather into your bosom his wives and daughters."
or was it more like:
Man's highest joy is in victory: to conquer one's enemies; to pursue them; to deprive them of their possessions; to make their beloved weep; to ride on their horses; and to embrace their wives and daughters.
aka; displace, loot, pillage, plunder, destroy, rape
“Conquering the world on horseback is easy; it is dismounting and governing that is hard.”
― Genghis Khan
Now comes the whining about all resistance, decedents, and media, and that just from the tangerine head.
He is a nasty little ego with no magnanimity.

What Now for Climate Change
These are exciting time. Change just got a big push. It will soon be politically correct to be a sociopath, when the US elected one as president elect. Those who voted for him have four years to change there minds, and see the removal of all social support systems. It will be each man for himself now. Crime will increase, policing will increase, the prisons will be death sentences, and the rich will get richer.
Now that Trump is coming in, any cooperation with the reduction of Co2 is not going to happen. What is the next logical step? There is no point flogging a downed horse.
What is the antidote to high Co2, high methane? Well that is dirt in the atmosphere, nuclear winter, asteroid strike, to block the sun light for a while. So shutting down coal plants, and clean coal plants are suddenly out, dirt coal is the way to go. Blow soot into the air, to block out the sun. China has it right. Carbon capture on land as grow high oxygen producing, carbon fixing plants. Cattails and sedges, rice, in the sewage, and kill two problems at once. Oh well, I am not in charge, and nobody listens to the unpleasant but a correct answer to the problem. Plant potatoes corner post to corner post, and cabbage.
We the people need to learn to live with much less, and to die earlier. We need to lower our expectations to a life of struggle, and relearn self sufficiency, and community self-sufficiency, where the community needs little from the outside world. We need to relearn community cooperation, where the ideals of a commune can be practiced. That would fix a government; there would be no way to collect taxes beyond expropriation. Welfare, is the solution, all pile onto the system, and soon, we will be free of the government.
Other alternatives are tax revolt, or as the US did, elect a radical... Trump. We have or soon will pass the Co2 point of no return. Climate change is on us. Trying to keep the rise below 2 degrees C has been lost by electing Trump; 10 degrees as a target is now possible. Inland Canada will not too bad off for a time. I am glad I am retired now. I expect a big die off of population, and I could be part of the first wave of the correction to overpopulation through extreme hot climate. Oh well, in the end we all just die anyway.

Day of Trump vs. Clinton
The US election is upon us. Both of the main choices are less than ideal, but the US will bare the blunt of this choice. Trump does not lie, for to lie is to know it is false, he is a bullshiter, as he does not know what is true or not, and does not care. Hillery, has experience, and little will change, yet it need to.
No one has the right to push their views on others, and I do not have the right to push my views on others, at least in trivial matters like religion, abortion, gays, politics, yet the government does push it laws onto us, and we submit to a point. I can lay out my views, where you can examine and pick over. The US may have a few radicals who get out of hand after this election. Oh well, that is in the US, where I fear to tread.
The most pressing issue is temperature rise and green house gasses, co2, methane, CFCs. These are gasses that are lighter than air, but still attracted to the earth. The carbon dioxide level is over 400ppm, and will clime fast until spring. We are at the point of no return, all governments will need to force carbon dioxide cuts on all populations. No government can be exempt. If any do not comply, there will be no progress on the issue, and the earth will be doomed to higher temperature, which is the likely outcome. There is a correlation to population, but it is in least partly causation, depending on how well we live. By the time Co2 climes to 475ppm, methane, from seeps and methane hydrates thawing will also be so high that we will have a real fast temperature rise. We are at the point of no return in temperature rise, save nuclear winter. Oh well, the politicians are not listening.
Ozone is the only solution, to oxidize the methane and CFC at high altitude and low temperatures, that and dirt in the atmosphere to cause cooling... or to learn to live and the new higher temperatures, until nuclear winter, and then learn to live with cold temperatures. That will be the likely outcome. Human life, in a overpopulated world will have even less value. We will just terminate the terminators, with government license. Lung disease, drug resistant bacteria, food issues, new diseases, and bigger ranges of warn areas disease may be some of the population reducers. Civil unrest is likely to be also major factors. Oh well. in the end we all just die anyway. Death is inevitable, growing old is not.

Damn Government
http://www.huffingtonpost.ca/2016/11/03/trans-mountain-pipeline_n_12791430.html
Trudeau, the gutless, is saying no more pipeline, Alberta, but forcing us to figure out what he is saying. There is just no way to comply with what he is asking for. This means there can be no expansion in the oil sands, just the status quote of steady production. This is not an entirely bad thing. It just means the oil sands will be there much longer. Oh well, slow steady production is not that bad.
http://www.edmontonsun.com/2016/11/04/deaf-teacher-discriminated-against-at-alberta-school-for-the-deaf-rights-tribunal-rules
So the government just fined a deaf school for not treating a teacher with a guide dog better. There were children with allergies, and the teacher was moved to a small classroom where she and here dog could receive allergy free children. An impossible situation for the institute, and the government fined them for not doing better. Stupid Politically Correct movement, stupid government. These allergies and free access for guide dogs are just logically incompatible. The school was in a lose/lose situation. It had no choice.
Compassion is a virtue, but not stupid compassion. Indians do not want a Habitat style housing program, they want total gift, but are not willing to do the maintenance on their housing. WTF. Why should we keep on giving? Either grab a brain, or suffer. It is a cultural issue, native cultural problem. It is up to them to change. Perhaps we need to explain the facts of modern life to them.

So WTF are Christian Values
http://www.patheos.com/blogs/friendlyatheist/2016/11/03/kentucky-gop-mailer-attacks-democratic-state-rep-saying-she-sold-out-our-christian-values/
Obviously not compassion since these Christians are not willing to allow correction of bad situations which people find themselves in.
Obviously heavy on the control freak/do as I say culture.
Obviously not much for personal freedom, but for heavy handed forcing their culture onto the next generation.
Obviously not much on accepting science advancements, genetic knowledge, geology, evolution.
So WTF would I care about what they think?
