  • Alternatives to profiting from crime
    Who's that guy in the expensive clothes and the flashy watch? Well, it could be a successful businessman, a sports personality or a criminal dealing in death. Why? Why do we let the gangsters get away with it? Why don't we have the courage to say, You do the crime, you give up the flash. That would show them! If they can't show off, then what's the point of dealing drugs? It isn't a career, it's just trying to look good.
  • Alternatives to being Roman
    We're here and the Romans aren't. That's a good thing, right? Well, only if you believe that they deserved to get overtaken by the juggernaut of history and we have something special that means we'll survive longer than they did. A thousand years? We've have to have something very special to be that good. Well, how do we compare? Let's see.
  • Alternatives to GM foods
    Well, somebody says that GM foods are good for you, but wait a minute, isn't that the same person who sells it to you? Isn't that the same person who is ripping off Third World farmers, stealing fields from Canadian farmers and concealing the amount of GM in everyday purchases like rice and soya? Uh, do they have my best interests at heart? Or is it their own interests that weigh most heavily? Who's the puppet, and who's pulling the strings?
