Uselessness Cynicism
Quite some time ago I realised that being a cynic wasn’t serving me well. …
Innocent Unless Proven Otherwise
I shouldn’t be shocked by how many people claim to know better than the court system when it comes to Michael Jackson. Sure, justice fails and has its flaws but lay-peoples’ blanket statements about how, when and why it works are just as bad. …

Happy Canada Day!
