Naotkamegwanning First Nation Trip

I took a ride out to Whitefish Bay First Nation rez with a couple of friends because I was bored as hell.  Haven’t done any rez cruising in a long time… it was fun.  Walking around doing nothing, driving around doing nothing… gotta do more of it.  Ryan’s Rez Tours.  The Ojibway name of Whitefish Bay is Naotkamegwanning.

Crazy Dancing

I was sitting at home trying to watch ‘I Am Legend’… but wasn’t really into it, even though it’s an awesome movie. Mebbe I’ll watch it later.

Anyway… was surfing Youtube for the fun of it… and came across this chick doing some crazy dance moves.

Stupid Stupid Stupid

I know you can blame people free of mental defects for committing heinous, ridiculous or stupid actions, but a society has to be thick as two short planks when it blames an animal for acting as an animal acts.

That cute polar bear ‘Knut’ that was the centre of a media frenzy and became world famous in Germany, has now grown up into a full size adult male polar bear.

Zoo keepers put carp in his enclosure to eat the algae in the water. Knut – the CARNIVOROUS POLAR BEAR – apparently fished them out, killed them, played with him and left them alone without eating them.

Apparently the German newspaper ‘Frankfurter Allgemeine’ reported that he ‘senselessly murdered the carp’.

It’s things like this that, rightly or wrongly, make me despise an entire nation for being so stupid. Obviously there’s exceptions, but on the whole I’m quite sure MANY Germans echo that sentiment. Stupid people.

America’s Missile Shield

I’ve been reading in the news about the Russian and American Presidents meeting and making ‘some’ progress on the plans for an American missile defence shield.

Personally, I think the shield is a bad idea and completely unecessary. It creates a complete inbalance of world nuclear power and is unnecessarily provoking an underestimated giant. Fact is I believe the West needs Russia as much as Russia needs the West.

No country in the world would be stupid enough to launch missiles at the United States, and no country hostile to the United States would be stupid enough to have so little security around their CBM’s that a terrorist or rogue elements of a government could launch a missile at the U.S.

America knows this, so what’s with the shield? I remember reading an article on the BBC News website about how Russia feels about this whole shield saga. Here is an excerpt:

Just now, it would be absurd to talk about such trust between Russia and the US.

Theoretically, it was possible five or six years ago, when Russia and the US were united against terrorism, but the trust gradually disappeared and Russia believes that it has been cheated by the US.

In Putin’s eyes, Russia has done a great deal for the West and America. Putin removed the military base from Vietnam, he shut down the radar station in Cuba, he did not stand in the way of the US opening bases in Central Asia.

The US believes that Russia had no choice and that it was in Russian interests anyway but Russia believes that all it got for its efforts was the Orange Revolution in Ukraine, the dispute with Georgia, Nato expansion and now these anti-missile sites.

Putin’s sharp words today come down to his deep sense of disappointment in the US. He feels misused.

It’s quite an interesting article from Fyodor Lukyanov, editor of foreign affairs journal Russia in Global Affairs. You can read it here >>
