Outrageous!

Two outrageous events in 24 hours! One wonders what drives some people...

1. Sepp Blatter, president of FIFA, says that the outrage about the World Cup being in Qatar is driven by Christians.

No, Sepp.....the outrage is driven by two things: the widely held view that the vote was rigged, and the ridiculous idea that athletes can perform well in +40'C temperatures.

As a Christian, I am outraged. A sport leader has the implicit responsibility to provide principld leadership. It seems that you aren't doing that.

2. Canada's federal government, with Steven Harper at the top, has spend $3.4 million to re-design cigarette packages, only to decide not to take this important health-related step. Why? The TOBACCO LOBBY has pressured the feds not to do this.

Oh yes, the government claims that it would be more effective to deal with contraband cigarettes, and shut down that illegal extremely lucrative business.

Maybe do both???? DEFINITELY DO BOTH!

Here we have yet another reason to get rid of this government.
