"Keeping the Status Quo"
Have written before that it's been the general policy of the Province of Ontario to "Keep the status quo," from what I've seen. In gay issues, this would actually mean the gap between the "black" and "white" sides would be getting wider and wider, rather than coming together! So, they're creating a greater problem in the long run! The work I've been doing has been the opposite--to try to bring the two sides closer together--and I believe it's possible without compromising any significant values on either side!

The High IQ Society
Mentioned in an entry below--about whether or not my criminal charge(s) should remain in effect--that I was raised by genius "wolves"! There's a non-profit organization called "MENSA" which is for people with very high IQs--Intelligence Quotients. [There's an international office with branches in other countries.] Members of Mensa have to belong to the 98th percentile, or higher, of the IQs of the population--something like that!? The Mensa organization began at Oxford University in 1946, if I understand correctly. *** Haven't heard exactly how many of the police advisors may have belonged to Mensa; but if some of them have worked in not only one but numerous high-level positions--at the same time--in their careers, they've had to be quite intelligent, I believe! Some have had successful, professional careers and have also taught in universities. *** When I had psychological testing done around 30 years ago, the psychologist found me to be at the 98th percentile in general world knowledge. That wasn't my IQ, however, and I had been aware before then that my IQ wasn't in the "Genius" range. [Some people say, "Genius is 2% inspiration; and 98% perspiration!"--And I can understand what they mean.]

My Legal Restrictions
Have stated long ago, in this blog, that I have a few legal restrictions on my writing. Therefore, it hasn't always been easy to say what I might have said! But have been doing my best. When there's a lot of evidence in question, it can be easy to overlook something--even if I wanted to disclose my case in the best light possible! [For example, I've heard of family members of wrongfully convicted persons who were surprised they found good evidence which had been overlooked by the justice system--even though it was sitting in a box at a police station!--But it really takes a lot to go through evidence--and you want to know that someone is going to pay attention to it!] *** It's the job of defense attorneys, obviously, to make a defense but it seems even they can miss details--probably for many different reasons. [And it takes money to pay for services.]
God Created Adam and Eve...
Last year around Christmastime, I posted an entry about the Canadian Christian expression that "God created Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve!" I changed it to, "God created Adam and Eve, and Steve." Of course, Adam and Eve were created in a perfect condition, at the beginning. After they ate the forbidden fruit, they began to see signs of death and decay; and it was Cain who killed his brother Abel--children of Adam and Eve! But there is a possibility of redemption.--It's what we believe in the Christian faith. And that possibility is a hope for all individuals, regardless of who they are.... [Won't take time to explain this point further here. There's more information available--in many locations--if people wish to know about it.]

"Betty" and The Red Colour--part 2
In the film, Desperately Seeking Susan, from the early 1980s which I've written about before, a woman sort of "accidentally on purpose" got mixed up with the life of a woman named Susan. Some other people also mistook this lady for the Susan character, for a time. And Susan had people chasing her--a lot going on! In the end, it was the other woman who helped Susan escape and get away from the problems. *** My friend, the Queen Lady, hasn't made a lot of efforts to help me to my knowledge--although it's possible she acknowledged something recently to others who needed information. And she has purposely kept a distance from movies and TV. But it may be the Betty and Elizabeth storylines which are a help to me, like the "Betty Lou" movie seems to be! And as the Queen Lady's husband had said this past spring [about another Betty movie], "We don't know who 'Betty' from Deep River [Ontario] is!!!" So, the Queen Lady may not have been directly involved in the films--she likely wasn't. But there has been something happening with the Betty [and Elizabeth] names. [Elizabeth had also referred to Queen Elizabeth I of England, who was a promoter of theatre.]

Two Sides of the Coin...
Note about the Labels, 2023: Many of my posts have been deleted earlier because they were out of date. The posts under the New Insight and No Insight Labels aren't significant any longer, as far as I'm concerned, but the blog site isn't allowing me to make changes to the Labels unless I delete the posts individually and permanently. I don't wish to delete all the affected posts, including this one....

Recognizing Past and Present Sacrifices
Tomorrow is Remembrance Day, when we stop to think of the sacrifices of military people in protecting their country. In the current war effort, have seen some statistics published which showed that a very small percentage of Canadians have lost their lives, so far. But their pay was also published.... War isn't a very nice subject to deal with, for sure; but then again, we can't afford to ignore the need for defending our land. In my opinion, we certainly need to be grateful to the military and also to be supportive, as far as possible--and supportive outside of immediate war efforts [like injured veterans, their families, etc.].
