&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Greetings My Dear Readers,&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;I come to you once again from the deepest and darkest depths
of this Frozen Hell that I call home.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;It’s been a month since my last post but it’s been a wild
ride full of blood, stress, and sheer mayhem.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;This last week began with a bloody brawl that resulted in
three men leaving in handcuffs and was capped off with my being forced into
near triple shifts as two pieces of garbage that were once employees were
relieved of their duties and all this just as the powers that be were descending
on us for most unpleasant reasons.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;By
rights three employees, not two should have been forcefully shown the door, but
one seems to have a knack for butt kissing my superiors so sadly I am stuck
having to keep this piece of crap around.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/span&gt;Although I am stuck and forced to keep this pain in the ass around for
the time being I am confident that their stay will be brief and that the door
(and my foot) will find their backside before long.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Your Cold Hearted Bastard then took a few days away from the
rat race to recover from a Hellish few weeks and to oversee the recovery of
another Member of the CHB Family.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;House Keeping&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Due to a lack of use the ColdHeartedBastard.com and .net
E-mail addresses will be discontinued.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Regular
readers may continue to contact me via my private E-mail as always and others
may reach me through the Comments section of each post.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;As always, your comments and input are always welcome and
appreciated.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Should the need once again present itself then the Domain
related E-mail addresses will be restored.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Young Garbage of Our World&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;In recent months I’ve had the displeasure of meeting and
working with an untold number of worthless human garbage who come in begging
for a job using every sob story you can think of just to get an opportunity
then in a matter of days either walk off the job to never be seen again, or
work a shift or two and never show up again, but don’t tell anyone that they
quit, or simply work until they get their first paycheck then vanish never to
show up again.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Prior to my moving this Frozen Hell of Earth this was a rare
occurrence in my world.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Sure there was
always the odd goof that would pull this crap but here it seems to be the
norm.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;The local population are nothing
more then Welfare collecting pieces of crap.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/span&gt;A drain in our nation that would be better expunged.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;This area and this nation would benefit greatly if the vast
majority of our local workforce were simply executed and mass graved.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Now we all know that something that extreme
would never actually happen but sadly I think we are reaching a point where if
something is not done soon then the garbage of this nation (and the planet in
general) are going to completely milk and destroy what little resources we do
have left.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Its absolutely sickening to sit back and watch a tiny
minority of this area slaving away and simply getting run ragged in their
places of employment&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;due to massive
staff shortages, while the bulk of the population sit back on Welfare drunk and
stoned out of their minds raking in the tax dollars of hard working people.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;When I first moved to this sickening excuse of a city I was
mystified by this trend and thought perhaps it was related to my particular
work environment (which is hellish at the best of times) but in talking to local
business owners and their employees this appears to be a wide spread norm.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Taking a few minutes to reflect on this it became clear that
this is a much larger and wide spread phenomenon perpetuated by our various
social safety nets that allow lazy, worthless garbage milk the system while
doing little to nothing in return.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Show me reliable, honest, dependable people with even the
slightest work ethic and you’ll have found a minority group in the truest sense
of the word.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;The solution as far as I’m concerned is really quite
simple.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;We eliminate our Welfare System
and use the money saved to provide quality free child care and free breakfast
and lunch programs in all our schools.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/span&gt;As well as free After School Care for those that need it. This way the
children of our nation will always be cared for.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;The money saved by eliminating Welfare would also help
bolster and ensure other programs such as U.I., Disability and Pensions were
always available for those that deserve them.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Adults capable of working either work or go without.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Once they end up on the street or turn to
crime they are rounded up and executed.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/span&gt;If they have children, the kids become wards of the state and are given
to loving families who want children but do not or can not have children for
whatever reason.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Extreme but effective.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/span&gt;Either people contribute to society or they are removed from the Gene
Pool.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;We could clean up our streets and
our prisons in a hurry and save untold billions of dollars by simply mass
graving the garbage.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Solutions like this are the reason I stay out of politics as
I know our pansy spineless politicians would never have the balls to stand up
to the Millions of Welfare collecting Voters and actually do something that
would benefit the nation for a change.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;But enough of my wishful thinking for one day.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Until next time, &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Your Extreme Cold Hearted Bastard,&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;D.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Greetings My Dear Readers,&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Welcome to 2010.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;All I have to say about 2009 is good riddance!&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;It was quite the year and I sure as hell
won’t miss it.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;2009 was a difficult year full of challenges and brought me
from my sunny &lt;st1:place&gt;Paradise&lt;/st1:place&gt; to this Frozen Hell on Earth that
I now call home.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;On the flip side of
that coin, it did have a few bright spots.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/span&gt;It put me back in touch with someone who has always been very special
but have not seen in over a decade, and it helped me put in motion a number of
serious projects that have been brewing on my back burner for way too long.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Let’s see, so far 2010 seems to be mimicking the opening
days of 2009 as I find myself once again starting the year nursing multiple
work related injuries. This new Hell on Earth is far more demanding then any
other location I’ve been in.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;To be quite
honest, I’m surprised I’m still alive.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/span&gt;How I haven’t been killed here yet is beyond me.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;It’s no longer skill and experience keeping
me alive, its just sheer luck that I’m still kicking.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;But until the scum and garbage I have to deal with do
successfully remove me from the gene pool, I fully intend to continue posting
my Rants and Raves, if for no other reason then to simply annoy and irritate
those who would like to see me finally silenced. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;2010 No Fear Invitational Postponed.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;The Second No Fear Invitational was tentatively due to take
place in either late 2009 or early 2010.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/span&gt;Sadly I must hereby announce that the Second No Fear Invitational is
hereby officially postponed until further notice.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Unless circumstances change it is likely that
this annual/bi-annual event will be postponed indefinitely.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Personally I look forward to seeing this
difficult challenge return in all its glory as soon as possible.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;It was an honour and a privilege to have created and
participated in the first ever No Fear Invitational in late 2008.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Going into the 2008 event it was uncertain
whether participants would survive.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/span&gt;Should this event be able to make a return, anticipate it to be even
more difficult and demanding for those lucky enough to take part.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Personally, I can only hope to see it back up and running as
soon as possible.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Where have all the Men Gone?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;I heard this question posed on late night talk radio and
being male I naturally got a good laugh out of it.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Then for some reason, this questioned
lingered with me and after some thought I actually had to sit back and admit
that the questioned posed is indeed a valid question.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Looking around the world today, many men between ages 18 and
40 years of age are not men at all but rather grown boys.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Many males in this age group are either still
living with their parents or are financially dependent on their parents in
order to keep their bills paid.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Self sufficient males that have their own homes or living
arrangements and don’t need to run back to Mommy and Daddy for financial
support are indeed hard to find these days.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/span&gt;Just looking at my own circle of friends and many of the people I have
known and worked with over the years I have to admit that very few of these
guys are actually self sustaining.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;The
majority in the 18 – 40 age group are either video game junkies or are just
over grown boys still too busy looking for “Fuck-Friends” to actually grow up
and get jobs and finally support themselves. But of course, they always have an
excuse to justify their dependence.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;It’s
usually crap.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;It really is a sad state of affairs.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;We are in a culture of over-grown children
who are often incapable of acting in a mature fashion or taking responsibility
for their own actions.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Don’t believe me?&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/span&gt;Look around at all the children in single parent homes, is the missing
parent (male or female) was an adult that took responsibility for their actions
they would be there raising their child.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/span&gt;Look at all your friends, how many of them still live with their parents
or are financially dependent on their parents.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/span&gt;Not all that long ago adult children supported their parents, not the
other way around.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Go to a bar some night
and watch so called adults, act like children and pick fights over the
stupidest things.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;If you take an honest look around, I think you’ll agree that
as sad and pathetic as it is, we are for the most part a society of over grown
children, where often the actual young children are more mature then those over
18.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Truly pathetic state of affairs.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Big Brotherly Games&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;For those of you have been long term readers of this site
and its previous incarnation your well aware that IP Numbers that trace back to
various Government Departments and several Alphabet Agencies visit this site on
an almost daily basis.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;I’ve never been a fan of Big Brother spying on the populace
and as such I have gone out of my way to avoid some of the social networking
and gaming sites that are well known for having alphabet agency roots and those
that openly admit to storing, selling and mining your data.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Well, as of late I thought what the heck, seeing various
international alphabet agencies visit my site on a daily basis and considering
they have shown up at my door in the past threatening me with legal action and
prison, they clearly know who I am.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;So I
opted to finally take the big plunge and have gotten active on a gaming site
that has its roots in and is monitored daily by various Alphabet Agencies.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;But I do so with the full knowledge that Big
Brother is clearly watching and recording everything they can get on me.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Although I quite enjoy the games this site offers, I laugh
at people on this site that think that their data is safe and secure.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Most people never read the fine print, but if
someone takes a few moments to read TOS of this site its openly admitted that
all the data collected and all IP’s that visit this gaming site are shared with
CIA, NSA and various other government spy agencies.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;People are terribly naïve when it comes to the Internet,
they all seem to think that everything on the internet is anonymous and that no
one can monitor or trace their activities.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;This couldn’t be more
wrong.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;The government and ISP’s monitor
everything you do online.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;We are in a
world of surveillance and even where you least expect it, Big Brother is
watching.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Like it or not, 1984 is a reality.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Until Next Time, &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Your Cold Hearted Bastard,&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;D.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Greetings My Dear Readers,&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;I come to you today from my Frozen Barren Wasteland here in
the deepest and darkest depths of Hell.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;My days here in this Frozen Hell on Earth begin at -44
degrees Celsius and finally end for me at balmy -60 degrees Celsius, add in its
backward, uneducated, crime ridden human garbage population and you have a Land
that needs some serious human extermination.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Perhaps this Hellish Winter weather will do the area a
favour and bring some much needed bleach to the local gene pool.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Addition Departure&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;It’s Official.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;The
CHB’s Families most recent Addition has now left us for parts unknown.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Hopefully the one final hurdle that we could
not overcome can be better helped in their new home.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Other Bastards&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;I was playing around online just the other night and
stumbled across a couple other Cold Hearted Bastards.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;I guess I’m not alone in holding that
prestigious title. &lt;img src="http://coldheartedbastard.com/emoticons/smile.png" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;MySpace boasts two different Cold Hearted Bastards among its
ranks.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Well, I can proudly say that I am
NOT one of those two Cold Hearted Wanna-Be’s.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/span&gt;Your Cold Hearted Bastard is the one and only true Bastard (or so the
public keeps telling me &lt;img src="http://coldheartedbastard.com/emoticons/smile.png" border="0" /&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;)&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Although I am familiar with some of the social networking
sites that these other CHB’s frequent my own personal ramblings and mindless
commentary will always only be found here on this domain
Coldheartedbastard.com/net.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Accept no imitations &lt;img src="http://coldheartedbastard.com/emoticons/smile.png" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Until Next Time,&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Your Cold Hearted Bastard,&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;D.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Your Cold Hearted Bastard is now buried in more snow then I
have seen in a decade.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;This &lt;st1:place&gt;&lt;st1:placetype&gt;Land&lt;/st1:placetype&gt;
 of &lt;st1:placename&gt;Not&lt;/st1:placename&gt;&lt;/st1:place&gt; is truly a frozen hell on
earth.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;However, it’s not all bad as this
blast of ice and snow has given me an opportunity to experiment and play with
new toys.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Toys that will effectively
ensure the safety, mobility and survival of yours truly during these harshest
and most inhospitable winter months.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Central Command Centre Finally Operational&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;I come to you today from your Cold Hearted Bastard’s newly
established Central Command Centre here in my &lt;st1:place&gt;&lt;st1:placename&gt;Wintery&lt;/st1:placename&gt;
 &lt;st1:placename&gt;Waste&lt;/st1:placename&gt; &lt;st1:placetype&gt;Land&lt;/st1:placetype&gt;&lt;/st1:place&gt;.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;This new Command Centre was envisioned long
ago and has now at last seen fruition.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/span&gt;This is but one of many projects that have been sitting on your CHB’s
back burner waiting for an opportunity to see completion.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;This and many other projects are finally
moving forward.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;I’ll post updates as I
am able.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Hand Sanitizer:&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;The
Modern Shooter&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;With the big Swine Nothing Hoop-la now in full swing, many
schools and businesses are now turning to commercially available Hand Sanitizer
as an effective means of preventing the infection and spread of the N1H1 Flu
Virus.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Some of these hand sanitizers are
marketed with as much as 90% alcohol content.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Since the fear frenzy around the N1H1 Pan-nothing, sales of
hand sanitizer has sky rocketed.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Since
then there have been countless stories of young children ingesting these
sanitizers resulting in some of them suffering alcohol poisoning.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Children as young as three and four years old, simply being
children, have become extremely sick after using these products and then
putting their fingers in their mouths.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/span&gt;Other children as young as eight and nine years old have begun ingesting
hand sanitizer for a quick “High” referring to these sanitizers as “Booze Ooze”.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Teenagers are having the time of their lives with this
freely available alcohol and many are ending up in the emergency room as a
result.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Big Brother Lears its Ugly Head&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Today in a discussion with an IT specialist for my ISP, the
IT Tech admitted that my current ISP remotely monitors all communications and
transactions on its network.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;I can only
assume this monitoring is to police for wrong doing, but to do so without
informing those using its service is spying in the highest degree and a severe
violation of Canadian privacy laws.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Now to find out that Big Brother monitors my websites and
communications is no surprise as IP’s from various government departments visit
this website on a regular basis and have for years.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;So to now have my ISP admit to monitoring me
(likely at the Governments request) is of little consequence, and to be honest,
its rather entertaining as I got used to Big Brother sniffing around a long
time ago.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;The issue here is my ISP
actively monitoring all activity on its networks without the knowledge or
consent of the people who buy the service believing that their privacy will
remain intact.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Various loop-hole laws have been passed in recent years that
have effectively eroded the privacy rights of Canadians and to hear an ISP
admit that they are blatantly spying on its subscribers only drives home and
clearly proves what I have been saying for years, that Canada is and has been
for quite some time, a Fascist Police State where Big Brother watches everything
and Privacy is nothing more then an illusion.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;1984, need I say more…&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;I could Rant on, but that’s enough for one day.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;After all I have to make sure my ISP Spies
and Big Brother have something to read &lt;img src="http://coldheartedbastard.com/emoticons/laugh.png" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Until next time, &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Your Cold Hearted Bastard,&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;D.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Greetings My Dear Readers,&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Today I come to you from my &lt;st1:place&gt;&lt;st1:placename&gt;Wintery&lt;/st1:placename&gt;
 &lt;st1:placename&gt;Waste&lt;/st1:placename&gt; &lt;st1:placetype&gt;Land&lt;/st1:placetype&gt;&lt;/st1:place&gt;
here in the &lt;st1:place&gt;&lt;st1:placetype&gt;Land&lt;/st1:placetype&gt; of &lt;st1:placename&gt;Not&lt;/st1:placename&gt;&lt;/st1:place&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;My Memories from over a Decade Ago when I used to live in
this hostile environment had me expecting snow banks by Halloween.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Here we are now the end of November and we
have very little snow.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Some call it
Global Warming, others are simply calling it a late winter, but what ever it
is, this is certainly not theLand of the Frozen Chosen that I once knew.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;There is a little snow here now, but nothing
compared to what I expected.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;I’m not
complaining &lt;img src="http://coldheartedbastard.com/emoticons/smile.png" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Yet Another Night of Conflict&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;I was headed into work this evening to get caught up on some
paperwork that is for some reason always left for me even when there are people
there who are more then capable of completing it.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;As usual I was minding my own business and
taking my time getting there, as I’m often forced to do this on my own time as
the demands of this location leave me little to no time to get it done on
actual company time.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;About two blocks
from my place of employment I was violently confronted by a drunken individual
several times my size.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Yet another
Violent confrontation in this absolute Hell Hole I now call home.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;The best I can hope for is either the Swine
Nothing to suddenly run rampant and clean out the local Gene Pool, or maybe my
War Mongering southern neighbors will mistake the decommissioned Military base
a few hours away as a Target and turn this entire area into a Glass Parking
Lot.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Confusion&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;This pathetic Land of so very Little often leaves me
scratching my head.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;The majority of the
homes here are in disrepair and are poorly looked after, but almost everyone
here drives brand new vehicles.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;They
don’t have the time or money to look after their homes but they have the money
to purchase and maintain nice cars????&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/span&gt;In Canada this makes no sense.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;In the U.S. a nice property that is well cared for is taxed
considerably more then one that is not, but here in Canada your property tax is
the same whether or not the property is cared for.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;The thought processes of this backward population, made up
of bottom of the barrel garbage of this nation, are well beyond my
understanding.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Additions Update&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;As many of you know The Cold Hearted Bastard Family has
welcomed two new additions in recent months.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;As mentioned in a recent post our second addition brought
with them a vast array of issues and challenges.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Although we have successfully dealt with and
overcome most of these challenges, the finally battle is sadly one the CHB Family
cannot win.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;As a result our newest
addition will be parting ways with us in the next few weeks to hopefully move
on to a new environment where this final critical challenge can be more
appropriately and successfully dealt with. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Fall Out&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;In my last couple posts I have been including some links
that I find stumble across or are related to some event.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;In my last post I included some Fun
Links.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Well Folks, that one kind of back
fired on me.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;One of songs from those
links, and I’ll let you guess which one, found its way into my head and haunted
me day and night for several days after.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/span&gt;It was absolutely maddening but rather entertaining at the same time.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;With that in mind, I risk it once more:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Esoteric Radio&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;As a long time listener of Online Radio I recently stumbled
across an Esoteric Podcasted Station I thought I would pass on to each of you.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Lots of Conspiracy and Paranormal type topics:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.binnallofamerica.com/index.html"&gt;http://www.binnallofamerica.com/index.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Until next time,&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Your Cold Hearted Bastard,&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;D.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;I come to you again from the &lt;st1:place&gt;&lt;st1:placetype&gt;Land&lt;/st1:placetype&gt;
 of &lt;st1:placename&gt;Not&lt;/st1:placename&gt;&lt;/st1:place&gt;.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Life here in my pathetic barren land of so
very little has been rather uneventful since my last post.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Although I welcome the quiet life that I have
worked so hard to finally achieve, I find it unsettling as it feels more like
the quiet before storm.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Face it folks,
my track record speaks for itself…&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;so I
doubt the quiet silence will last…&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Economy Woes Persist&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Our Economic Experts continue to assure us that the
recession is over, yet the stock markets continue to tumble, the Job Markets
are nothing short of pathetic and although our leaders boast big job creation
rates what they don’t tell you is that the majority of these jobs are low
paying casual or part time jobs that no one can ever hope to survive on.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;A report released yesterday, &lt;st1:date year="2009" day="20" month="11"&gt;Nov. 20 2009&lt;/st1:date&gt;, says that Canadian Bankruptcy Rates have
jumped 43% over the same time last year.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/span&gt;Along with these Bankruptcies, mortgage default rates continue to climb
as hard working Canadian’s continue to lose their jobs as companies down size
and/or lower wages just to survive, or go under all together.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Many Canadian’s who lost their jobs in the opening days of
this Economic Collapse are now facing the loss of unemployment benefits as their
U.I. begins to runs out, forcing them to fall even further down as the job
markets remain bleak and they are left with little choice but to turn to the
Welfare system now just to survive.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Unless things begin to turn around Canadians are going to
have to stop listening to the lies of our leaders and get creative to survive
in these hard economic times.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;st1:place&gt;&lt;st1:placename&gt;Ontario&lt;/st1:placename&gt; &lt;st1:placetype&gt;School&lt;/st1:placetype&gt;&lt;/st1:place&gt;
Bans Homework&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;One story that caught my eye this week was one out of &lt;st1:place&gt;&lt;st1:city&gt;Barrie&lt;/st1:city&gt;,
 &lt;st1:state&gt;Ontario&lt;/st1:state&gt;&lt;/st1:place&gt;.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/span&gt;There a school took an unusual step and Banned teachers from assigning Homework.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Their studies say that this move has actually
improved students marks.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Although I can see that this move would free up more time
for students to pursue other interests and allow them more time to take part in
extra curricular activities, thus cutting down on the stress and reducing possible
burn out of students, there are many students that need the extra workload in
order to grasp concepts that they may struggle with in the classroom.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;A world without homework, is a happy place for students, but
I worry that such a move would diminish the already weakened work ethic and
personal discipline that we see all to often already in the young people of
today and force our students to continue to fall even further behind their European
and Asian counterparts, thus seriously reducing their chances of a successful
future.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;But destroying our future seems to be the ultimate goal of
the short sighted, incompetent Morons that seem to lead the way these days.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Greetings my Dear Readers,&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;I return to you yet again, from my crime ridden wasteland
here in this pathetic Land of so very Little.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/span&gt;Although this &lt;st1:place&gt;&lt;st1:placetype&gt;Land&lt;/st1:placetype&gt; of &lt;st1:placename&gt;Not&lt;/st1:placename&gt;&lt;/st1:place&gt;,
otherwise known as: Hell leaves much to be desired, the last week has not been
too bad and has been relatively uneventful.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/span&gt;I’m kind of hoping it stays that way, but given my track record, its not
likely&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;img src="http://coldheartedbastard.com/emoticons/laugh.png" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Alright, on to the updates…&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Swine Nothing&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;In the last few weeks many people have asked me if I plan on
getting the Swine Flu Vaccine.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;My answer
is: Absolutely Not!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Locally, the Swine Flu Vaccine was recently rolled out and
the local population or sheep as I consider them, stood in line for hours to
get this vaccine.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;The demand was so high
that health officials ran out of the Vaccine and had to turn away people who
were still waiting for their shot.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Of those that I know locally that have got the Swine Flu
Vaccine so far everyone seems fine.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="NormalWeb11" style="background: white none repeat scroll 0% 0%; -moz-background-clip: border; -moz-background-origin: padding; -moz-background-inline-policy: continuous;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt;"&gt;As
of Friday, (&lt;/span&gt;&lt;st1:date year="2009" day="30" month="10"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt;"&gt;Oct. 30 2009&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/st1:date&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt;"&gt;) 95 Canadians have died of the swine flu virus, according to the
Public Health Agency of Canada. Eighty per cent of these flu-related deaths
involved patients with underlying medical conditions.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="NormalWeb11" style="background: white none repeat scroll 0% 0%; -moz-background-clip: border; -moz-background-origin: padding; -moz-background-inline-policy: continuous;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="NormalWeb11" style="background: white none repeat scroll 0% 0%; -moz-background-clip: border; -moz-background-origin: padding; -moz-background-inline-policy: continuous;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt;"&gt;Recent
statistics say that almost 5000 people in North America have died of the Swine
Flu in 2009, where as 36 000 people have died of the normal seasonal Flu in
this same time period, but the big push and all the Media attention continues
to go into the fear mongering around the Swine Nothing.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Locally, an eight year old boy recently came
down with the Swine Flu. &lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;The Medical
Doctor who saw the child actually gave the parents heck for wasting his time by
bringing the child in, (which makes me question the kind of doctor he is, as
any doctor should never turn away or consider any patient a waste of time, no
matter what the issue), then the child was fine a week later with no real
treatment or vaccine.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Once again the
Swine Flu proves itself to be as I say:&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/span&gt;The Swine Nothing.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="NormalWeb11" style="background: white none repeat scroll 0% 0%; -moz-background-clip: border; -moz-background-origin: padding; -moz-background-inline-policy: continuous;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="NormalWeb11" style="background: white none repeat scroll 0% 0%; -moz-background-clip: border; -moz-background-origin: padding; -moz-background-inline-policy: continuous;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt;"&gt;The
basic idea behind this Lab Created and intentionally released Swine Flu Virus
is to cause a media driven fear frenzy to keep the population in a constant
state of fear.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;A scared population is
easier to control and manipulate then clear thinking people.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Don’t believe me?&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Read the actual insert that comes with the
Swine Flu Vaccine.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;The Vaccine according
to Documentation was developed in 2007, but there were no known cases of Swine
Flu until 2009, so how is it possible that a Vaccine can be developed for a
virus that wasn’t even known to exist until two years later, unless it was
intentionally developed in a Government Laboratory and purposely released.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="NormalWeb11" style="background: white none repeat scroll 0% 0%; -moz-background-clip: border; -moz-background-origin: padding; -moz-background-inline-policy: continuous;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="NormalWeb11" style="background: white none repeat scroll 0% 0%; -moz-background-clip: border; -moz-background-origin: padding; -moz-background-inline-policy: continuous;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt;"&gt;The
whole idea of this Swine Flu scare is simple population control, a scared
population is easily controlled and manipulated.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;The real question is why?&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;What is really in this Vaccine that they are
pushing everyone so hard to get?&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;It’ll
be interesting to see what happens in the next few years to Fertility Rates,
Autism Rates, Cancer and other death rates involving people who have gotten
this Vaccine.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="NormalWeb11" style="background: white none repeat scroll 0% 0%; -moz-background-clip: border; -moz-background-origin: padding; -moz-background-inline-policy: continuous;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="NormalWeb11" style="background: white none repeat scroll 0% 0%; -moz-background-clip: border; -moz-background-origin: padding; -moz-background-inline-policy: continuous;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt;"&gt;As
I stated earlier, I will not get this vaccine.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/span&gt;Many say this choice may well cost me my life.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Well, I would rather make my own decisions
based on real information rather then being driven into submission by Media
driven Fear Mongering.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;The previously mentioned second addition to the Cold Hearted
Bastard family has joined us a little earlier then expected.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;This addition has brought with them a series
of challenges.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;We are attempting to resolve
these unexpected and on going issues and challenges, but this will be no easy
task.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;For now, the Cold Hearted Bastard
family is happy to welcome its newest addition.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/span&gt;Whether this Newest Addition is able to remain to a permanent Member of
the CHB Family or is just a temporary guest remains to be seen.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;I’ll keep you posted.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;On November 11&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt; we once again took a few moments
to pay our respects to and honour those brave Men and Women of our Armed Forces
who sacrifice of themselves everyday for this great nation both Nationally and
Abroad.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;We must NEVER forget those who have given their lives for
the freedoms we enjoy and sadly all too often take for granted in our everyday
lives.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Our Freedoms came on the blood,
tears and lives of those brave souls who have fought for and continue to fight
for the honour of our nation.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style=""&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"&gt;Greetings
My Dear Readers,&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style=""&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style=""&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"&gt;It seems
rather appropriate that I come to you today on Hallow’s Eve.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;The one night of the year where the gates of
Hell stand open allowing all manner of demons and devils from deepest and
darkest depths of Hell itself to cross into our world roam free for one night.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;The one night of the year where your
nightmares are truly real.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style=""&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style=""&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"&gt;As you
can see I am still alive to celebrate this glorious Hallow’s Eve, the one Pagan
ritual that I would like to see made a National Holiday. I know for many that
my continued existence causes much disappointment, but all I can say is, oh
well.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;As hard as some try to shake me
loose from this mortal coil, I am still here...&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/span&gt;Better luck next time &lt;img src="http://coldheartedbastard.com/emoticons/tongue.png" border="0" /&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style=""&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style=""&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"&gt;It’s been
a Month since my last post and needless to say its been a Roller Coaster of
activity here in the &lt;/span&gt;&lt;st1:place&gt;&lt;st1:placetype&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"&gt;Land&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/st1:placetype&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"&gt; of &lt;/span&gt;&lt;st1:placename&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"&gt;Not&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/st1:placename&gt;&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style=""&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style=""&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"&gt;Your Cold
Hearted Bastard is now on the mend nursing injuries from a mishap that took my
base out from under me two weeks or so ago but has it slowed me down?&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Not overly.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style=""&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style=""&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"&gt;Aside
from injury, I am truly in Hell here in this Land of so very, very Little.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;The last month has seen me immersed into a
world of Blood and Violence.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Since my
last post I have been assaulted twice and put three men in prison all in separate
incidents.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;This &lt;/span&gt;&lt;st1:place&gt;&lt;st1:placetype&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"&gt;Land&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/st1:placetype&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"&gt; of &lt;/span&gt;&lt;st1:placename&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"&gt;Not&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/st1:placename&gt;&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"&gt; is truly a crime ridden wasteland
populated by the garbage of humanity.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/span&gt;The best I can hope for here is for the Swine Nothing to prove me wrong
and run rampant and seriously bleach the local gene pool.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style=""&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style=""&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"&gt;After 15
years of complete and total security, your Cold Hearted Bastard is now
seriously and activity looking at abandoning his vocation and moving on into
new and unknown territory.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;I have
finally had enough of the human garbage that makes up our society, its time to
leave the darkness behind and attempt to claw my way into the light.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;This may well mean losing all that I own in
this world, but such may well have to be the price of survival in this pathetic
Land of so very Little.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style=""&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style=""&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style=""&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;New
Addition&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style=""&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style=""&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"&gt;Despite
adversity your Cold Hearted Bastard recently welcomed a new addition to the CHB
family, with a second addition scheduled to join us in the next three weeks or
so. Neither is the addition that many out there have been expecting, but not to
worry, that addition will come with time &lt;img src="http://coldheartedbastard.com/emoticons/smile.png" border="0" /&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/span&gt;In the mean time however you will be happy to know that neither of these
new additions are nearly as Cold Hearted as yours truly.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;The
world has agreed that one Miserable Bastard is enough...&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;img src="http://coldheartedbastard.com/emoticons/smile.png" border="0" /&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/span&gt;(Miserable Bastard?&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;My next
domain perhaps??? Now there's an idea... )&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style=""&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style=""&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style=""&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Heart
Breaking Trend&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style=""&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style=""&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"&gt;The last
month has seen a string of news reports of parents killing their children.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Now I understand the media and their need to
sensationalize all the horrors of this world.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/span&gt;Their basic premise is:&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;If it
Bleeds it Leads.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Then they
sensationalize it daily and continuously until there is nothing left to report.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style=""&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style=""&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"&gt;But the
sad part is I’ve lost track of the number of stories I’ve seen in the last
month where parents have just snapped and killed all their children.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;What the hell is wrong with these
people?&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;I’ve always said that if the
adults of this world want to kill each other, then have at it.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;When these freaks remove each other from the
gene pool it makes the world just that much better.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;But, leave the children out of it.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Can’t handle being a parent?&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Don’t want them? Have other priorities?&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Then simply give them up to people who will
love and care for them.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Children
certainly don’t ask to come into this world, we as adults choose to bring them
into existence either through planned choice or irresponsible action, but
regardless of how the child gets here, once they arrive they become our future
and need to be cherished, loved and given every opportunity possible.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style=""&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style=""&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"&gt;We all
know people who would make great parents and would love to have children, but
for a variety of reasons either do not or cannot have children of their
own.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Ask these people if Parenthood is a
burden.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;They’ll tell you that children
are a gift that they would love to have, yet so many take their children for
granted.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Daily children are killed,
abused, and exploited by parents who are suppose to care for them.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style=""&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style=""&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"&gt;These
parents, the ones who take for granted the greatest gift they could ever be given
are the ones that I will never understand and always despise.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style=""&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style=""&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style=""&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Obama

&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style=""&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

President Barack Obama was recently awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial; color: black;" lang="EN"&gt;"his extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and
cooperation between peoples&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 13pt; font-family: Arial; color: black;" lang="EN"&gt;".&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white none repeat scroll 0% 0%; line-height: 14.65pt; -moz-background-clip: border; -moz-background-origin: padding; -moz-background-inline-policy: continuous;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 13pt; font-family: Arial; color: black;" lang="EN"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

have to admit that even I had to scratch my head when Obama was first awarded
this prestegious prize.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;He hasn’t been
President that long and to be honest I’m not sure what he has done to deserve
such an award, as the U.S. under his command is still involved in two illegal
wars.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white none repeat scroll 0% 0%; line-height: 14.65pt; -moz-background-clip: border; -moz-background-origin: padding; -moz-background-inline-policy: continuous;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial; color: black;" lang="EN"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

a little thought it became clear.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Obama
was given this award for his ability to electrify crowds worldwide with his
dynamic speeches about Peace and his clear efforts to heal the wounds that the
U.S. has caused peoples of this planet.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white none repeat scroll 0% 0%; line-height: 14.65pt; -moz-background-clip: border; -moz-background-origin: padding; -moz-background-inline-policy: continuous;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial; color: black;" lang="EN"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

has been herald the Great Hope, the man who has the potential to reverse the
damage that the Bush Crime Family has caused over the previous eight
years.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;He was given this award for the
potential he has to improve the planet, not for anything he has already
done.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;I only hope he can live up the
expectation.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Even if he can only
accomplish a small percentage of his potential, I believe he will do great
things for this planet and his nation.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white none repeat scroll 0% 0%; line-height: 14.65pt; -moz-background-clip: border; -moz-background-origin: padding; -moz-background-inline-policy: continuous;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial; color: black;" lang="EN"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

things considered, I think he was good choice, he represents incredible promise
and potential and is, at least on the surface, a great role model for children
worldwide.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

other day I was headed home from work and being a rather pleasant day I opted
to walk.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;My trip home took me through a
school zone where two young children were working as student crossing guards. &lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;Seeing these two young children bravely put themselves
at risk by putting their &lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;own bodies
between on coming vehicles and other children in an attempt to keep their
younger school mates safe, I was quite impressed.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white none repeat scroll 0% 0%; line-height: 14.65pt; -moz-background-clip: border; -moz-background-origin: padding; -moz-background-inline-policy: continuous;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial; color: black;" lang="EN"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

I know these children likely do this as part of some school program that
rewards them in some way, but seeing these children work hard to keep others
safe, I was struck by a sense of hope.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white none repeat scroll 0% 0%; line-height: 14.65pt; -moz-background-clip: border; -moz-background-origin: padding; -moz-background-inline-policy: continuous;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial; color: black;" lang="EN"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

these children risk themselves for others, shows me that although this world is
seemingly in a downward spirel of debauchery and destruction that there yet
still be hope.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Many of the youth today
are lazy, worthless drains on the system with few morals, but fortunately among
them are a few bright and good kids that care enough and have the potential to
save us all and bring this world back from the brink.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;I come to once again from a mild weathered world of insanity

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;It hasn’t been a bad week since my last post.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Things are starting to settle down here in my
land of madness, and settling into a sick routine.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;How long will your Cold Hearted Bastard last
in this land of so little?&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Time shall
tell.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;In the last week the bodies of a &lt;st1:state&gt;&lt;st1:place&gt;Quebec&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:state&gt;
father and his six year old daughter were discovered in a hotel room just
outside of &lt;st1:city&gt;&lt;st1:place&gt;Montreal&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:city&gt;, although
officials are being tight lipped, gut instinct tells me this is a case of
Custody driven Murder/Suicide.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;The
father and his daughter live in different cities and rumour is, he was
forbidden to have contact with his daughter.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/span&gt;Considering the case, I see this as just vicious rumour driven by the
media to continue the vilification of men in our society.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;As no reports of this child’s abduction have
surfaced clearly he had full visitation rights and access to his daughter.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;I see this as another case where the courts have actively
worked to over empower women in custody cases and clearly denying men who
genuinely love and care for their children, the opportunity at custody and/or
full access to their children often based on little more then the couples anger
with each other and pain over whatever events that caused the
marriage/relationship to break down.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;I see this as a case of a man who loved his daughter so much
that he could not bare the idea of living without her and misguidedly believed
that if they couldn’t be together in life then in death they could be together
forever.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Do I agree with what this man did?&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Definitely not.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;But I certainly understand the factors and
emotions that could drive a man to this line of thinking and action.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Without knowing any of the sordid details of this case I can
say with absolute certainty that this man and his daughter did not have to die.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;If the courts were a little more open minded
and treated men and women equally without favourism to any particular gender,
always making sure that the health and welfare of the children came first then
sad cases like this would not likely occur.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Polish Progress&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;This week a lower level of the Polish Government pass a bill
that would require anyone convicted of sexual relations with children under the
age of 15, and anyone convicted of having sexual relations with a close family
member to be chemically castrated. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;This bill still needs to be approved and passed into Law by
the Polish Leader, but he is expected to approve the bill later this week.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;This new law comes on the heels of a string on cases of
Polish fathers being convicted of sexually abusing their young daughters.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Although I applaud &lt;st1:country-region&gt;&lt;st1:place&gt;Poland&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt;
for this big step forward in protecting its Nations children, my only concern
here is that Chemical castration as outlined in this law, requires the “convicted”
to take medications to ensure the castration.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/span&gt;So it maybe hard to enforce, and if the Castration is medication based,
does this mean that once the pervert has served his sentence that he can stop
taking the medication and is suddenly ready to re-offend?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;I think &lt;st1:country-region&gt;&lt;st1:place&gt;Poland&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt;
could give this law some serious teeth and send a clear message to the world
that children’s safety comes first in &lt;st1:country-region&gt;&lt;st1:place&gt;Poland&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt;
if they changed the law to ensure that Physical Castration by Medical Professionals
occurred as soon as anyone was convicted of sexual relations with anyone under
the age of consent.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;I applaud &lt;st1:country-region&gt;&lt;st1:place&gt;Poland&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt;,
although there is room for improvement, this law is a big step forward and hopefully
will set the example that other nations will follow. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Until next time,&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Your Cold Hearted Bastard,&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;D.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Greetings My Dear Readers,&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;I come to you today from a Bright and Sunny Land of
Not.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Although this land of so little is
known far and wide for its frigid winters and foul weather on the rare occasion
we are graced with a nice day that the locals drink up while complaining the
whole time.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Although the world around me is one of insanity, poverty,
and utter lunacy, larger matters beyond my backyard always get my attention.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Sadly, although our economic leaders assure us that the
recession is over and the country is on the rebound, according to recent
studies 50% of Canadian’s are now living Paycheck to Paycheck with little to no
ability to build a savings.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;While
companies continue to downsize and close at record rates, putting more and more
Canadian’s out of work.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;As a result of
this, bankruptcies are reaching record numbers and more and more families are
losing their homes and many of them despite our various social safety nets, are
ending up on the streets.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Yes folks, this is the state of our nation, yet they tell us
the Recession is over…&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Our American Neighbors&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;I listen to a lot of American Talk Radio and the amount of
hatred that gets spewed daily across the airwaves is absolutely sickening.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;The right wing hatred of President Obama is beyond my
understanding.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;As an outsider’s
perspective, I see President Obama as one of the best things to ever happen to
my southern neighbors.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;This man’s
election has eliminated the race card in the &lt;st1:country-region&gt;&lt;st1:place&gt;United
  States&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt;, he is a charismatic leader and
speaker who is working hard to bring single payer health care to the &lt;st1:country-region&gt;&lt;st1:place&gt;United
  States&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt;, and has taken an active interest in
improving the health, welfare and education of &lt;st1:country-region&gt;&lt;st1:place&gt;America&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt;’s
children.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;President Obama from my outsiders’ perspective is the John
F. Kennedy of our time, a man who can, if given the chance, improve &lt;st1:country-region&gt;&lt;st1:place&gt;America&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt;’s
standing in the world and heal many of the wounds of old that has made the &lt;st1:country-region&gt;&lt;st1:place&gt;U.S.&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt;
one of the most hated countries on the planet.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Yet, the American Air waves are flooded with so much hate
for this man who has so much potential for helping their nation.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Most of which I believe is race related,
although America has moved forward and made a historic step in the right
direction by putting a black man in the White House, the old racist boys club
that has run the country for so long just can’t handle the idea that a black
man is now leading their country.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;President Obama has been working hard and fighting an up
hill battle to bring single payer health care to all American’s.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;This is the same government funded and run
health care system that &lt;st1:country-region&gt;&lt;st1:place&gt;Canada&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt;,
&lt;st1:country-region&gt;&lt;st1:place&gt;France&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt;, &lt;st1:country-region&gt;&lt;st1:place&gt;England&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt;,
&lt;st1:country-region&gt;&lt;st1:place&gt;Cuba&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt;, and
countless other countries use to ensure that every citizen of their country
gets full health care regardless of their income.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;This is a wonderful step for &lt;st1:country-region&gt;&lt;st1:place&gt;America&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt;,
it will ensure that the hundreds of Millions of American’s who currently cannot
afford proper medical care will finally get the medical care that they need to
thrive and succeed. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;May he succeed, despite his detractors.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;The American people need and deserve quality
health care for all.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Obama recently addressed his nation’s children, and
encouraged them to work hard in school so they can fulfill their dreams,
something I have never seen any other world leader do.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Link to speech: &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3iqsxCWjCvI&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;"&gt;www.youtube.com/watch?v=3iqsxCWjCvI&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/a&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;He is the hope that &lt;st1:country-region&gt;&lt;st1:place&gt;America&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt;
needs.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;May the American people wake up and look past their racially
motivated ignorance and embrace the change and potential for greatness that
Obama is bringing them.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Until next time, &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Your Cold Hearted Bastard,&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;D. &lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Greetings My Dear Readers,&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;It’s been a week or so since my last post.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;This week has been turbulent as the
adjustment to this new &lt;st1:place&gt;&lt;st1:placetype&gt;Land&lt;/st1:placetype&gt; of &lt;st1:placename&gt;Not&lt;/st1:placename&gt;&lt;/st1:place&gt;
continues.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;This new land leaves much to be desired as closed minds,
self centeredness, and general lack of respect are the dominate themes in this
place of little.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;This has been a return to a small minded, uneducated culture
of old.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Although I understand it and
have lived among it in the past I was glad to leave it behind more then a
decade ago and hoped never to return to it.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Now that I find myself immersed back in it, for better or
worse, I find myself struggling against old stereo types and views that I have
worked hard to leave behind, but the small minded, obnoxious masses I deal with
daily make it hard to keep these views of old at bay. &lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Not that it is all bad, there are some good people and
wonderful angels that brighten my world daily, but this land still leaves much
to be desired.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;The children are lawless
and run rampant, where the idea of theft and violence are everyday behaviors,
and the parents in the majority of these cases, are no better often teaching
and encouraging this behavior in their children.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Another sad and unfortunate aspect of this new location is
the lack of childhood.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Many young teens
that I’ve encountered, many as young as 15 and 16 years old are pushing a
stroller with a young baby and are clearly pregnant with a second child on the
way.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Although teen pregnancy rates are
high across the country, here it seems exceptionally high.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Babies having babies.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;That’s enough for one day.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Until next time, &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Your Cold Hearted Bastard,&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;D.&lt;/p&gt;
