THANK GOD WE LIVE IN CANADA!!
I watch the news every night and I see what a mess so many countries are in. Places like Venezuela, Ukraine, Russia, Egypt, Uganda, Nigeria, Gambia, just to name a few. Riots, intolerance, bigotry, hatred are totally rampant in these places. Many use religious intolerance to back up their rules & laws. Yet, Jesus taught people to be tolerant, loving and forgiving! How far we have come in the wrong way from those teachings!
I am not really a very religious person, but I do believe in God and always have. I do not attend church every Sunday but I do pray to Him. My feelings are that religion should stay OUT of politics and law making completely! Church & State should always be separate! The law being proposed, passed and awaiting signature by the State Governor in Arizona is not only wrong but it legalizes both discrimination and hatred! How can this be! Whats next!? I and many others, sincerely hope that it is NOT signed into law but totally scrapped, never to be brought up again! I is morally wrong and totally despicable.
Several African countries have passed or will be passing laws discriminating against the LGBT community. WHY!? How do they hurt you? They are people just like you and deserve to be treated just like you! Instead, they pass laws to humiliate, discriminate and send people to prison or to their death - just because they love someone of the same gender. NOT RIGHT!!!
These kinds of things MUST STOP! Conflicts such as those in Ukraine, Venezuela and other countries must be resolved and STOPPED!! My heart is sad for the people of these places and breaks for those who have been killed. May they all rest in peace.
Another thing that must come to an end is BULLYING! Whether it's in person or on the Internet (cyber bullying) it is wrong. to many young people, LGBT people and even adults have endured bullying to the point that they take their own lives! This can not continue. To many young lives have been taken too soon from us and they have not been given the chance to grow up and be a part of our world. It is truly sad when these things happen and again, my heart aches not only for them but for those that are left behind to grieve.
Peace & Love to all!

MY NEW BLOG, ON BLOGGER!!
Hello and Welcome to my new blog, "Wizzards Rants & Raves".
Yes, I know wizard is spelled incorrectly but its done purposely. You see , I decided I wanted to do that so my Blog stands out!! Ah well, that's OK!
So, a little about me before i start in keeping with the Title of the Blog. I am male, 68 yrs old and I live, with my partner, in the beautiful city of Victoria, on Vancouver Island off the West coast of British Columbia in Canada. I have 2 children (all grown up) and 2 beautiful grandchildren, all of whom I love very much! I love Victoria for all it has to offer but I have also lived in Montreal (born & raised there), and Ottawa, our nations capital. I am very interested in current events, news stories and LGBT advocacy.
I have several "causes" that I am passionate about including equality in marriage, advocating to STOP BULLYING of all kinds and I am strongly against animal cruelty, as well as many other things. I am sometimes very opinionated but that is OK because everyone is entitled to their own opinion! Yours included!
So, this will be a Blog about some of these things and others where I will either RANT or RAVE about them and you too will have the chance to comment with your own rant or rave about my post or anything else. I look forward to reading what you have to say!
