It does seem that many of the Canadian states, are following Trudeau's lead and racing South Australia to deindustrialize by going 'green'. Very poorly planned considering the considerable draw the USA is now with the incentives of lower regulations and lower taxes and with NAFTA under threat.

Was up in Vancouver BC for a few days and got back yesterday to take care of some business before heading out again. When I arrived home I noticed my left front tire was low so I drove over to my local Costco to get the tire inspected. Costco informed me I had a women's high heel impaled in the center of the tire and it was not repairable. I know one of you is going to ask me what happened to the women who was wearing it and all I can tell you was I don't recall see a women or even the shoe for that matter. I know nothing... You can borrow this ....  |

The Role of Sex in Brave New World In the novel “Brave New World” by Aldous Huxley, different people show different ways of dealing with sex and love. The people of the World State are conditioned, which means sex and reproduction are controlled by the World State. The people of the reservation can instead freely decide what they want to do or not. In the following text I want to show what different roles sex plays in Brave New World in different groups. On the one hand there are the People of the Word State, who are conditioned. Nearly all main characters in Brave New World are from this society. When they are born, they are educated and conditioned through sleep teaching and electro shock therapy. Through this, the World State is able to ‘form’ the people, so that things like free-thought and the fear of death don’t exist. Also sexual and reproductive habits are formed in this education. For example, the children play erotic games in the hatchery and conditioning centre. For them it is normal that children do such things and have fun doing them. When the people are older, sex becomes an act of release, an outlet, a form of entertainment, and is no longer a means of procreation. Promiscuity is celebrated in different ways. In the Feelies and in ceremonies they use sex to make people happy. So you can say that there is no longer a real relationship between sex and love, or sex and any kind of deep emotion. In relation to the World State in general, Huxley has removed any kind of relationship. |
