My Solution To Save The Economy

I just want to start by saying I'm Canadian, but I'd like to see my plan implemented in both Canada and the USA.


The stock markets are hitting new 7 year lows. People are losing their jobs. All we hear about is bank and auto bailouts. It is ugly out there.

These heavy duty financial bailouts are pissing off the masses, who believe like me that it just isn't helping, that it is just like giving a crack addict more crack.

Reading that Frank Stronach just got his pay drastically cut from $70 million to a mere $10 million is just maddening. Maddening that he made $70 million in the first place, and that he still makes $10 million.

But he isn't the only one. Far from it. These corporate millionaires are a dime a dozen, and that is one of the biggest reasons why stocks are tanking. When an exec goes on private jets, buys a mansion and an Island, gets a huge salary with bonus, where do you think the money comes from? Inevitably it comes from a companies share value.

Ok, enough about what is. Now for my plan. It is pretty simple. Give every LEGAL adult resident $25,000. Just print the money up from the treasury. I know, I know, it is supposed to cause inflation or even hyperinflation (I took Economics 101 in university), but at this point, who cares? What are these bailouts going to cost us in the very near future? Nobody knows for sure, but I can tell you. It aint good.

The rest of the plan: The $25,000 is issued in form of a card that can only be spent on domestic goods and services. You just swipe the card to pay for the goods or services when you buy them.

It can't be spent on real estate or stocks though. Those will go up or down on their own. Leave them be, let them go where they are going to go.

Two more things. You only have a year to spend the $25,000 and there has to be a price freeze on all domestic goods and services while the spending spree is happening.

What will be the end result? Again, who knows? But I have a good feeling about this plan in my gut. And I doubt the result would be any worse than what we are seeing right now.


What does this post have to do with being an atheist Jew? Nothing. So let me add, screw Glenn Beck, and screw Anti-Apartheid week.

Lou Dobbs Has A Great Idea: Bulldoze UN Buildings

The UN has simply become a farce. A dangerous farce though because what they say still matters in some places. They might as well change their name to the Muslim Asslickers Association of the World.
Bad enough to focus their attention on Israel while basically turning a blind eye to other far more catastrophic conflicts on this planet that involve Muslims and no Jews, but now they are out to appease Islam in a huge way by trying to make it so that criticizing religion will be a criminal offense:


H/T Answers In Genesis Busted

Those of us on the Atheist Blogroll would all get charged if the UN has its way. Imagine not being able to question if Jesus, Moses, Mohammed, or the Invisible Sky Fairy existed?

Muslims collectively are collectively the biggest hypocrites on this planet. Double standards galore.

Their religion does not follow the Golden Rule, a rule that is innate in human beings and other social animals for that matter. So this UN ruling pretty much wants to stifle anyone from criticizing the thought process that goes in when an "honour" killing takes place? Screw the UN!

And the repercussions might even be felt in Western science classes too. Some Fundamentalist Christians can use the laws so that evolution taught in schools could be a direct criticism of their brand of Christianity.

I'm all for free speech. As long as the intent is not to incite death or criminal behaviour. Islam is not. It will still be OK to chant Death To America, just don't say Death to Jews or Christians.....unless you live in a Muslim state where you can say all three.

Might as well post my Mohammed Bear video again before the UN bans the video and puts me in jail:

Airplanes Prove God Works In Mysterious Ways, Uhmm Yeah Ok Whatever

I'm trying not to be insensitive here, but I'm just going to write what probably most atheists are thinking after that tragic crash in Buffalo in relation to the "Miracle on the Hudson."

As an atheist, or just a thinking person, I cringed when I heard survivors, their families, and even newsmen infer that the Hudson crash had something to do with God. To be fair, I cringed when Kurt Warner won the Super Bowl with St. Louis and spent the post game interview thanking God and Jesus. What is wrong with these people?

This brings me to the crash in Buffalo. I wonder what the Hudson survivors are thinking now? That they are here for a special purpose, but all those involved in the Buffalo crash didn't have a special purpose anymore? Maybe they are feeling guilty. By praising God so much, God decided to show some humility and purposely caused that Buffalo crash to smite the praisers, you know, God is perfect, but he doesn't want to be praised.

God doesn't work in mysterious ways. It is all random people (with scientific explanations). Get over it.

Potholer54's Made Easy Series, The Perfect Download For Darwin Day

I can't say enough about Potholer54's videos. They are thoughtful, educational, witty and most importantly, factual.

Let me update everyone on his Youtube sites.

First off, his main site.

There is a series of 14 videos From The Big Bang To Us. Basically, he lets the layman in on what science knows about what happened from the birth of the universe to the birth of the earth, to how and why abiogenesis is the most probable way life began, to evolution, to dating the earth, etc.

He has also done a couple of videos on climate change, in case you think you might be in the dark on the issue. Watch the videos, and you won't be any longer.


Creationist Beware: Potholer Is Starting To Edit His Series So That Your 12 Year Old Children Will Be Able To Understand Evolution, But More Importantly, That You Are Nonsensical

Hopefully, his work will make it to the classrooms. Check them out.


If that isn't enough, he also has another channel called Potholer54debunks

Here is his newest video, which is part one of his debunking the Ark story:

I'm looking forward to part two. Should be more on the humorous side.

And finally, his Made Easy Series is now available on DVD. Here is how to get your grubby paws on it:


It makes a perfect gift to your Fundy relatives.

HAPPY DARWIN DAY

More Atheist Nonsense: The Planting Of Transitional Whale Fossils

It is getting more and more painfully obvious that devious atheists continue to plant fossils all over God's good earth in an attempt to get more converts to religion of atheism.

Regular fossils weren't good enough because intelligent creationists started to notice that there were no missing links or transitional fossils. This fact was causing the atheist recruiting movement to lose steam, so what did the pesky atheists do? They started to plant transitional fossils in places where they predicted they would find them. And then a fantasy story is attached to the finding. Take the recent fossil find that "proved" that early whales gave birth on land.

It is amazing that atheists buy these fairy tales but laugh at the idea of a person rising from the dead and ascending to heaven.

Ok, that is enough of my Edward Current impression for today.

Now that I might have the attention of both creationists and realists, here is an excellent video which asks creationists to think and do some 'splaining:

Apparently the above video was flagged by Youtube creationists.

I always liked the argument that if evolution were false, how come a creationist scientist hasn't come up with a way to interpret the fossil data or even come up with any evidence that contradicts evolution. That scientist would be more famous than Jesus. What is holding back the creationist intelligencia?

Still interested in whale evolution? Check out my post from last year; A Whale of a Tale.
