My open letter to the Toronto Star

Dear star, please get rid of Rosie Dimanno, PLEASE!! We as a community have had enough, Weve had to listen to this lunatics rants for to long now. She has the most archaic views on life/ people/ race and politics that I truly fear the ignorance she is spreading. If this is something about readership/views, I tell ya, its not working. Her posts literally make me want to cancel our subscription with you ( one day this camel will not take anymore straw ). if this is what you do for hits, your out of touch with reality, discrimination is discrimination, what, you cant pick on anyone else so you think, HEY! I can still pick on "the pot heads" because theyre still bad, right?. WRONG. Plain and simple, your a bully with a junkie habit of your own, you crave hits like any addict Ive ever seen, you want people to talk about you, well congratulations on your goal, a bully author with an addiction for attention is sure something to be proud of. Im not some old timer, cranky and distraught with views unlike my own, Im 28, open, and trying to make this province a little better then the way I left it, but with people like Rosie, its like one step forward two steps back. How can you justify keeping a journalist on your team who clearly doesnt do any research? For example, a quote from her latest article, 
( if nicotine is so destructive of health, surely marijuana is no better ) CLEARLY she is stuck with her Jurassic opinions and not of facts or science, coupled with an unwillingness to research through propaganda, I dont know how she continues as a journalist. Anyone with a shred of common sense + google can find/ understand the health benefits of marijuana. For her to equate pot with stupidity is hilarious, offensive and downright wrong. ( watch the pot propaganda movies a little more there Rosie, lol ) Lets look at just a few people who smoke pot and see how stupid they really are. Carl Sagan - astrophysicist, cosmologist, author, astronomer Steve Jobs - inventor, entrepreneur, marketer The Beatles - I dont think I need to explain this one David Sazuki - Ph.D. zoology, activist, professor of genetics at university of B.C Bill Clinton - former president Stephen jay Gould - paleontologist, biologist, Francis Crick - nobel prize for figuring out the double helix structure of DNA Oliver Sacks - neurologist, author Richard Feynman - nobel prize winner for theory of quantum electrodynamics The list can go on and on. So Rosie, while you like to think of yourself as smarter then a pot smoker, lets be real, your the one blowing smoke.

Heres her article http://www.thestar.com/news/gta/2013/08/07/legalizing_pot_endorsing_stupidity_dimanno.html Robert Simpson

MOVING RIGHT ALONG

All quiet on the Aquaponics front today, my desk is sitting relatively empty and I only have one problem. My Amonia in the tanks is sitting at 8 and doesnt want to come down. I have thought it through for a couple of days now and the only thing I can put it down to is water temperature being too low. It has been sitting at 11 deg centegrade So Im about to start mothering the tank for a while (mabe I could try sitting on it...Nahhhh, not my style) Hoping several bags of grass clippings around the tank will (I hope) do the trick or at least let me know if Im on the right/wrong track. But thats not what Im here for....

And the Beet Goes On Silver Beet that is

The two rules that I live by with Aquaponics.

!. Leafy Greens go by Raft

2. Almost everything else is possible in gravel/pebbles/clay

I know, someone out there is saying that lettuce etc. can grow by flood/drain in gravel etc and this is true. But when I put down a pair of beds to test lettuce in gravel against raft, the raft wins comfortably.

But as always, we all have our preferences...

WTF ITS COLD IN HERE

like its so cold I tried to do the Fonz at David and it hurt...like bad.

So I really hate it when couples are like...eating each other and mounting each other in public...

AKA Josh and that chick who was cool till I saw her swapping spit with Josh.
Wow so they were so on top of each other that someone had to tell them to stop or get out. Sheesh.



So theres this chick named...lets say Niagra who I knew for a while. She got knocked up by a guy she met on myspace and they broke up (She thought the kid would bring them closer together although he left the last girl who had his kid) and now she is like "zomg I didnt see this coming!"

tard.

Anyway my other friend Cait got knocked up by a guy but is doing much better. Reality hit her late and she is adopting hers out...woohoo. I mean Im really happy for her cause she went from a drug addict to a clean person looking to clean up her life and junk.
