Here is an interesting bit of information that most people don’t know. If you are presented with a contract you have the legal right to make changes to that contract to your benefit. My uncle was one of the heads of the second largest law firm in Canada. He made sure that the family understood that a contract was a negotiation, not something written in stone that had to signed “as is”. I personally had a chance to put this to practice twice in my life. The first time was with an employment contact that had non-compete clause. I amended that to say if I was fired the non-compete was null and void. That saved my ass 9 years later when the vet I worked for fired the entire staff so that he could screw his wife out money from the practice. He tried to stop me from working locally and because I’d added the that clause into the contract he was SOL. The second time I rewrote a contract was when we refinanced our house. They wanted to roll the closing costs into the mortgage and they had a cleverly hidden penalty that if the mortgage was paid off early (something I was totally planning to do), that would cost an extra $7000. The broker I was dealing with was SHOCKED that actually read the whole 90 page contract and had to admit that I had the right to negotiate to have those two things removed. NEVER sign a contract without reading it and KNOW you have the legal right to change the contract to favor yourself.

Soilent green? Dead bodies? Is it true?

Carbon is needed by trees and it’s a crime to lick it up. It’s used by green plants to make oxygen so

Plant more trees , not less?

The history of earth was full of trees and wild animals f+#rting

So climate change was not an issue for Indians for 10,000 years!

We need to get rid of these leeches in world organizations that we didn’t vote for that are taking over our lives!
