Have you never really believed
that Canadians are the funniest people on the planet?
Leah McLaren feels your pain : "This, after all, is a country where a governing body once refused to let the rock band Barenaked Ladies play a benefit concert on the grounds that their name objectified women. It's the same place that recently refused to retail a full-bodied French chardonnay named Fat Bastard on the grounds it might be offensive to fat bastards."
Do Androids Dream of Jon Katz?
"As he was thousands of years ago, man will again become a fairly rare animal, probably a nomadic one. Towns may still exist in places of unusual beauty or historic importance, but most homes will be self-contained and completely mobile, relocatable to any spot within hours. The continents will have reverted to wilderness; a rich variety of life forms will return." Huh? Who programmed these uber-gaia machines? How does [he] know that all artificial life will come with the soul of a Greenpeace activist built in? I enjoy reading Jon Katz' work, but it would be so much better if he would just focus focus focus on the topic at hand rather than running everything through a better-living-with-technology / politicians-are-stupid filter.
