Some of my comments on items I felt strongly enough to write about.

Computer Science

    Name Description
    ODBC, Corba and XML Suck The multitude of monkeys out there that are in charge of standards blows my mind!
    A Looming Software Crisis Software developers everywhere are heading toward an innovation brick wall if we do not invent good dynamic partial evaluators now!
    Philosophy of Design The overall philosophy of design I use while programming.
    Goto Advocate the necessity of complex languages
    Wisdom Wisdom comes from experience. Here are some things I had to learn from experience.

Politics

    Name Description
    Associations and Corruption The medical and legal professions have built "Associations" to prevent innovation and cover up criminal behaviour.
    Suggestions for Copyright Reform The Canadian government is planning to kiss some corporate ass again, this time with respect to copyrght law. This is my paper is my plea to not implement more copyright tax on the hard working public.
    Government is for the People Let's get the corporate lobby groups out of government.
    Investment and Speculation The concept of the stock market is fundamentally flawed and causing periodic and devistating financial disasters.
    Taxes The current tax scheme is unfair is so many ways. Here is a list of some.
    Front Lawns are Bad We can save time, save money, pollute less and reduce taxes by getting rid of the unneeded front lawn.
    World Government Incomplete. This is the only real weapon against the mutinational corporations.
    Unions are Good Incomplete. Unions keep the labour law in place. Remember law is only as permenant as the paper it is written on, if unions go, so will the labour law, and we will all be back in 18th century England.
    Intellectual Property Incomplete. Extending IP rights indefinitly into the future effectivly grants infinite gain for finite work
