yesterday i was lucky enough to see dj david suzuki live!!
he did some great remixes and even played some of his old stuff..
no really though, it was serious stuff. my favourite part was when he explained how it's ridiculous to think that the economy is more important than the environment. cause .. you can't buy nature.. and if you could it wouuld be worth like 33 trillion dollars, which is alot more than the GDP of.. Canada for example.
He made his point (for me anyways) quite well when he said if the Darlington nuclear power plant, (which is apparantly really massive and near Canada's largest city) were to release any of radioactive materials, then that would be awesome for the economy! The GDP would go through the roof. People would be sick and they would need ambulances, doctors, nurses, new hospitals, band-aids, drugs.. and also people would die, would would be great for funeral homes, flower shops, gravediggers, lawyers and .. the list goes on. So, really, if Canada wants the GDP to go UP, we just have to have plant operators be a little bit less careful, have tests done a little less frequently and have staff that's a little less qualified, maybe summer students? (They'll work for next to nothing.. again, an opportunity to save some cash)
He swore alot, too, which I wasn't expecting. It's not like he had to use harsh language to preach to the converted crowd who payed $30 to see him blab on about the extinction of humanity. Chuck D did the same thing, they must have read the same "how to talk like an activist" guide. Or maybe, Edmonton just makes people wanna swear.
Also, check out Anna’s artwork on Das picture page which is linked at like 2 o'clock.

David Suzuki is awesome. I'm a bit surprised he swore. Wow!
On a different note, I'm positive you'd make an excellent nukular technician!
...
Doh!
David Suzuki spoke to my Grade ten class for career day many moons ago. No I didn't go to a rich private school, I just happened to be in the same grade at the same school as his daughter. I remember not liking him cause he told us all that Arts were a waste of time, and we should all go into science. And yes I know that he's in science and that's awesome for him, but I like the Arts just fine.
Also his daughter was a bully.
But I'm gald you liked him.
Tessa, did you seriously go to school with Severn Suzuki or does he have more than one daughter? She's totally hot! So, if you're got her number...

I went to school with Sarika, who is the second daughter he had with his second wife. And we weren't really friends...sorry.
Amy,
Tessa gave me her webblog thing address and this lead me to yours. So now that I'm here now, I'm wondering why Germany is so slow about the whole Earth Day thing. I remember getting an Earth Day CD which was produced by the CBC and it had great songs by Blue Rodeo and some others. Probably Bruce Cobern.
But that was a different day. Different day indeed. This day...
You mean David Suzuki. The same dude as Tessa Messa is talking about? He's a DJ?
There's a girl on her cell phone. Did she not get the memo that this is a library? How rude.
About the powerplant. Paul's uncle lives right next to it. We've taken some nice walks in the big field that surrounds it. Don't worry, there's a big field protecting us from all the harmful things.
Also, the dark ages must have been an economic boom. Until too many doctors died from the Plague. Remember the Dicameron? That was a book about the people who fled the plague. You remember the Dicameron... I know you do...

mrs. schuck,
dicameron in rome. heaviest book ever!
justin. charlie. romance novels. roses. i didn't put any money in trevi. maybe i should have, i could be there now.. see the german pope, mm. david suzuki isn't a dj unfortunately, but if he should consider it.. send his message out to a much wider audience. did you get a new glass? I'm sorry about that. ..
Are you sure David Suzuki is a DJ? 'Cause I hear he only gets a boner once a week on Saturdays...
