Larry01 - All I can say is that you two could be a real buzzkill at a party. I try to see the cup as half full rather than half empty. It's a better way to go through life. This thing is LONG a done deal, and I don't waste my time fighting something that can't be changed. If you put your efforts in at the beginning, and failed, then you stood up for your beliefs. I think you should just enjoy the festivities now so as not to ruin it for others. In parting, a bit from Niebuhr's, The Serenity Prayer (1934): "God, give us grace to accept with serenity the things that cannot be changed, Courage to change the things which should be changed, and the Wisdom to distinguish the one from the other." |  | |

Its quite clear to me that Ballbuster is an idiot.
The 2010 Olympics are on its way to being the financial ruin of Vancouver and prob BC too not to mention loss of democratic rights and freedoms.
Six billion dollars of expenses to garner $1 billion dollars of profit is NOT good business; but then what would you expect from a business failure like Gordon Campbell.

Mary in Calgary, Wendybaby is my spouse, with these people we formed a group rallying against this event in Vancouver, Canada. We respect your opinion very much. But, mass consciousness has been proven scientifically. This is the best way to disable 2010 Olympics. Fighting for what we believe will not always be in a radical way, we have to be diplomatic. We can be more productive and be more educated if we will just use the power of our mind. We don't believe in radical protest.

to Larry 01 - To wish group subconscious ill on Canada's 2010 Olympics at this point...is far, far more disturbing to me than the business of seeing that the games happen. I wish a successful, well run, enobling and enjoyable experience for all international athletes and west coasters who have all worked so hard to bring this notable tradition to Vancouver/Whistler and to Canada.

2010 Olympic Prevarications! Vexing over Olympic cost overruns and political lies, deception and manipulation by the B.C. Government plus cover-ups in the political system to push the elite interests of corporations and Olympic economic of interests. To be perfectly honest wait until party is over. Its will leave a legacy of debt loads, human misery by lack of funding for much needed social programs, health care and education not to mention a major erosion of environmental policies. Curtailing free of speech and interference with peaceful protest. These security measures including security zones are violations of the Peoples Charter of Rights.A police state is definitely happening in Vancouver, B.C. The civil liberties of Canadians are being eroded. Just a friendly reminder of last spring 2009 election that the B.C. Government and official oppositions agreed before campaigning that they would not debate any related 2010 Olympic issues. This is not how a democracy works. Vancouver and Whistler area could possibly be dealing with Flu- Pandemic visitors from around the world would be spread man-made human infections. Power of the mind your thoughts or prayer-whatever works for you? Yes Mass Consciousness of the mind could change weather patterns to mildly warm conditions in southern B.C. rain, fog and windstorms could occur. Instead of complaining about 2010 Olympic Games we should direct our anger and frustration by focusing our intent on Mass Consciousness for unfavorable weather conditions. 2010 Winter Olympic Games Legacy of debt occurring burden to working tax payers! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y5NOSaZDPDo&feature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SjxD9cVMUoU http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RqpOlbPuV0k

Actually I am stating well documented facts. Page after page games after games. All we get from the pro side is hype the one liners from the professional turd polishers that write for the committees nothing ever seems to be substantiated. Bruce < replied-to message removed by QT >

They all go down as the best attended because they all fill the stands with freebies at the last minute if necessary. The only way you will know the truth is with an honest open press who dig for the facts like they did in Calgary, Italy Melbourne, Montreal, Manchester, China and London just to mention a few economic disasters disguised as great sporting events.

If it is so great how come there were tickets for every vent left this week? Where did they come from? Probably set aside for the thousands of tourists that never materialize. Be interesting to see if we will have to bus in school kids for free to make the stands look full like they did in Italy last winter Olympics < replied-to message removed by QT >

RE: Bill 13 - A suspension of freedom of speech and civil liberties Civil liberties are rights in Freedom that protect an individual from the government of the nation in which they reside. Civil liberties set limits on government so that its members cannot abuse their power and interfere unduly with the lives of private citizens. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Civil_libertiesOur grandfathers who died for our freedom by the thousands are turning in the grave! I too am willing to follow in my grandfathers footsteps and fight and die for my freedoms. I truly do not understand how someone would let this pass. To those who support Bill 13, How many of you wore a poppy to support those who died for exactly what you are working against? Ask yourself if you are a two faced hypocrite. If you are, I ask you never to wear a poppy again or stand in support for those who stood up and fought for your freedoms that you have today. I encourage all to read the Magna Carta Oh and those who believe that the Magna Carta is just a piece of old worthless paper, go to Victoria, visit the Parliament building and ask why it is still hanging on the wall. Keep in mind that the Magna Carta was written for the people to keep past, present, and future parliament from what they are trying to do now. Stand up for your freedom now before we have to repeat history again and start laying down our lives. I would rather die or go to prison than live with my eyes closed.

VANCOUVER (NEWS1130) - Vancouver Police have a new device capable of being used as a sonic weapon, but the VPD insists it will only be used as a public address system. The LRAD--"Long Range Acoustic Device"--generated a great deal of controversy when it was used on protestors at the G-20 meeting in Pittsburgh in September.
The LRAD is capable of sending a focused beam of sound over long distances. VPD Constable Lindsey Houghton says they'll only use it as a public address system. "This device can be used to communicate clearly with very large groups, whether it's crowd control situations, mass evacuations, natural disasters."
It was used by the Marine Squad during the Celebration of Light fireworks nights. David Eby with the B.C. Civil Liberties Association says once again, police are on a slippery slope. "It's just like the Taser. We were promised the Taser would only be used in certain circumstances and that turned out not to be true."
Eby wants LRAD's weapon capabilities to be disabled, or at least see a written policy on how the device will be used.

An Undying Call for Olympic Fanatics? By Concerned Citizens of Canada Let your mind be freed from queries. Let your voice be heard everywhere. Arent you sick and tired of whats happening to our surroundings regarding the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics? Lobbying, rallying and boycotts may not be enough to get the attention of the VANOC officials and its elite groups and the greedy and unethical government officials of British Columbia. We have been continuously fooled by these people with their non-reliable and non-existing figures that they used to published in every corners of the mass media. If you people of Canada are more concern of what will and may happen in the future. On what will and may be the effect to the majority, not only for those people living in the skidrow area of East Vancouver but also for those average families. We are asking you to voluntarily participate in a MASS CONSCIOUSNESS BRIGADE, the power of our mind is very effective to use as our weapon to fight this elite group back. The power of intent is a powerful tool to change the weather on 2010. Yes, Vancouver Olympics may happen but if we will join together by using our mind there maybe a huge mass disruption in the outdoor events. We will be having a mild weather in the Whistler area. With these, it will be a great failure to the VANOCs and its allies and a big humiliation to the whole world. It is effective! This power of the mind has been proved in the year 1998 of July at Northeast of Florida when they were hit by a drought conditions. Upon using the Mass Consciousness they were able to have a downfall of rains. And it was a success! So people of Canada, lets give ourselves a chance. We can prove this to everybody. We can make a difference! We can do it! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y5NOSaZDPDo&feature=related
