Chinese People and Their Road Signs

I saw this inside a Chinese Plaza the other day.

Some friends I randomly met on TTC

This is what is so cool about the TTC.
I bumped into two friends on the Lakeshore streetcar.

Aren't they just adorable?

Guilt-Tripping at the Harbourfront Ctr

I was at the the Harbourfront International reading series the other day
and came in late.

This is what they reserved for me.

HR mantra at TTC

If you want to be successful at your job, you have to invest in your own
success.

The Canada Savings Bonds Ads

These are perhaps worse ads I have ever seen.
There are no impressionable features of this ad that would translate to
greater sales.

Stock photo-like, generic pretty models in various occupational garbs
are juxtaposed with a giant, utilitarian yellow block. The product being
sold is the mind-numbingly bureaucratic "Canada Savings Bond Payroll
Savings Program."

Look folks, Government Savings can be fun and exciting too. Look at
victory bonds. Look at the Israeli defense fund. Their posters are
slick.

This could be donw so so much better.

Democracy in Asia (Far East)

American triumphalism, the belief that the rest converge towards the
general direction of parlimentary democracy, liberal theory, and
captialism is a sham. Proponents of such a system often ignore the
historical circumstances and the resultant cultural attiudes that smooth
a nation to continuing a "People's Government."

Liberal Theory of the Rule of Law also begats, amongst those that study
politics an assumption that the study of governance must be purely in
legal terms.

What the hell is this?

Took this at a Chinese plaza today. I am haiving a serious comprehension
issue as to what I am suppose to even do here.

The Best is the Enemy of the Good.

I was thinking about this quotation today because it turned up in a
project management book I am reading.

It seems that it is equally applicable to men, that the Best are the
enemy of the Good. I have always assosciated myself with many of the
best and it has always been my observation that they aren't very good.

So maybe Periander is right both in tyranny and democracy. Or perhaps
the good should be uprooted.
