Are there any new storylines??

This basic plot line was described best by Marcus Aurelius:

"Consider the time of Vespasian. You will see the same thing: men marrying, begetting children, being ill, dying, fighting wars, celebrating, trading, farming, death of others, grumbling at their present lot...coveting a consulate, coveting a kingdom. Then, turn to the times of Trajan: again everything is the same, and that life too is dead..."

Ah, the wonder of it all!!

"LONDON (Reuters) - A British company has developed a camera that can detect weapons, drugs or explosives hidden under people's clothes from up to 25 meters away in what could be a breakthrough for the security industry."

I guess all you writers are going to be falling all over this one!!!!
Why don;t we just order everyone to walk around naked and have done with it?....be a hell of a lot cheaper.
Oh, I forgot...the object of the exercise is to make money off things like this!
Actually, I think it is an amazing piece of technology.

Musing!

Laurence G. Boldt once wrote, "The life spent doing what you love is a different life indeed from putting your life out for hire to the highest bidder. The only way you can say it makes no difference is to say life makes no difference."

.....it comes to all of us!!!! Me! Worried ???

Hello everybody! I find the info below almost unbelievable...yet
stranger things happen in this land of ours!

CANADA PENSION - ONLY IN CANADA!!

Do not apply for your old age pension...

Apply to be a refugee. It is interesting that the Federal Government provides a single refugee with a monthly allowance of $1,890.00 and each can get an additional $580.00 in social assistance for a total of $2,470.00.

This compares very well to a single pensioner who, after contributing to the growth and development of Canada for 40 or 50 years can only receive a monthly maximum of $1, 012.00 in old age pension and Guaranteed Supplement. Maybe our pensioners should apply as refugees!

Let's send this thought to as many Canadians as we can and maybe we can get the refugees cut back to $1,012.00 and the pensioners up to $2,470.00, so they can enjoy the money they were forced to submit to the Canadian Government for those 40 to 50 years.

Please forward this to every Canadian you know.
