  1. Just watched The Rebel with Tony Hancock, he's one of my favourite comedians of all times, a tragic end to him but this was a delightful outing for him, taking his character out of the 'Half Hour' format with some familiar faces. Same kind of storyline but nice to see him in colour and not just black and white.

  2. These lines from Albert Camus's The Rebel come to mind a lot:



    If injustice is bad for the rebel, it is not because it contradicts an eternal idea of justice, but because it perpetuates the silent hostility that separates the oppressor from the oppressed. It kills the small part of existence that can be realized on this earth through the mutual understanding of men. In the same way, since the man who lies shuts himself off from other men, falsehood is therefore proscribed and, on a slightly lower level, murder and violence, which impose definitive silence. The mutual understanding and communication discovered by rebellion can survive only in the free exchange of conversation. Every ambiguity, every misunderstanding, leads to death; clear language and simple words are the only salvation from this death.[^1] The climax of every tragedy lies in the deafness of its heroes. Plato is right and not Moses and Nietzsche. Dialogue on the level of mankind is less costly


  3. > Canada already has laws in place that prevent forced therapy practices 

    This seems...wrong somehow. Are these provincial laws?

    Remember; the #saskparty, when they first got into office, campaigned on keeping "conversion therapy" aka torture of gay teens legal.

    #therebel and I seem to live in different realities on this one
