Opinions and Thoughts of LightHouse Dann Verner - Just as he is!

  “ My Grandmother Clock” The human subconscious is amazing at times. I find it amazing how we can become so accustomed to some things, but other things become more and more obvious. Take for instance my  “grandmother clock”. It ticks quite loudly. Every second a constant reminder of its existence. Every half hour a single chime to assure me of that existence. Every hour the gongs of the passage of time. Yet, I do not hear it. If perhaps it stops because I neglected to wind it, I hear the silence. I live three blocks from one of the busiest police stations in Toronto. Sirens are a constant reminder of my life in the “ big city”. I do not hear the roar of racing engines or the siren’s obnoxious wail as they fly up my street. Yet, I do hear their silence if a long period is to pass between emergency runs. My subconscious essentially will say, “ Hey Dann, I wonder why we are not hearing sirens? ” This perplexes me to no end. It seriously does. Could it possibly be rooted in our g...

  I believe I have broke my spine again! First I will explain why I say, “ Again” . It all began around March 4th, 1999. That is the first time I traumatized my spine. It was 3:55pm and my shift at  B and R Demolition  ended in five minutes. I removed my eyeglasses to wipe off the sweat and dust accumulated on them when I heard a crack sound. Two seconds later I was falling, from about fifty feet, straight down through the scaffolding. The crack I had heard was the breaking of the three by nine board I was standing on. I landed on my feet! Driving my face into my knees. It hurt, I kid you not! The thing that saved my life was my arms breaking planks during my descent. At the hospital it was discovered that besides two blackened eyes I had fractured my right elbow, my left forearm and two ribs. Hang on Campers, it gets better! The kinetic force of my landing sent a shock wave up my spine and shattered my 6th, 5th, 3rd and 2nd vertebrae. In surgery they performed a complete...

  Ummm, isn’t the wife Trump purchased from Epstein a “ foreign   born “? Here is a direct quote from  “NBC online”  that explains what Trump is attempting to do in his quest to destroy as many families as he and his corrupt Cartel, posing as an administration, possibly can in their race to make the States an Aryan nation  …… “DHS has also increasingly sought to remove  legal  immigrants from the U.S. by DHS has also increasingly sought to remove legal immigrants from the U.S. by revoking thousands of visas, including for some people who participated in pro-Palestinian protests, and trying to  deport green card holders . “ A spokesman for USCIS,  Matthew Tragesser , said the agency reviews cases of naturalized citizens when there is credible evidence that  citizenship was obtained through fraud or misrepresentation. “ We maintain a  zero-tolerance policy towards fraud in the naturalization process  and will pursue denatura...

  If you had the power to change one law, what would it be and why? Didn’t even have to think about my answer to this .. My answer, “The “Age limits” of our “Youth Justice Act” I believe, no matter what the youth’s circumstances, the age for trying a youth  as an adult , for serious nonviolent crimes, should be lowered to 16. Crimes of violence, weapons and/or causing death should lower to 14. “Why?” You ask. Times have changed. Youth have changed. (Especially inner city youth) Today’s youth are often lured into gang life with promises of wealth, drugs and Brotherhood. (In that order.) Most   come from broken or single parent   homes where money is sparse. The gangleaders take advantage of this. They begin by luring the youth in with “gifts” of money, free marijuana and the belief they are valued members   of the gang. They are definitely “valued”. In fact they are one of the most important cogs in the gears of the organization. “Why?” You ask. Two main reasons ...

Cuba doesn’t bother any other nation. Don’t you think that after decades of living in poverty because of the American sanctions they deserve a break? The States are now acting exactly like their good friend, Israel. The States are doing everything they can to make life for the Cuban people miserable. They deserve to be able to live a better life where they can get fuel for not only their homes, but for anything and everything that runs off fuel. They deserve to be able to feed their families. The Trump Cartel is now purposefully attempting to collaspe Cuba’s already troubled economy. The States are the reason that the Cubans are starving! The world needs to speak up for the Cuban people!

  If I knew how to dance, I would not be so handsomely intelligent and charismatic. Or so I have been told. Personally, I wouldn’t have a clue either way. I learned many years ago that how others perceive the intellectual me is their reality. Not mine. The physical ‘self’ I project on the behalf of ‘others’ is the ‘me’ that I manafest to appease their perception of the ‘me’ that they ‘see’. This applies whether it be singular, multiple or virtual “others” Communal living in modern society is no different today then it was five hundred years or even ten thousand years ago. People do not change. Architecture changes. Technology changes. Religion changes. Music changes. Education changes. Medicine changes. Hospitals change. Transportation changes . Even the Universe itself, changes. People? I regret to inform you that against popular demand, People, the “Others”, do not, I repeat, do not change! At this very moment you are thinking to yourself, “LightHouse Dann is either full of crap ...

  I was beginning to change my harsh opinions about Alberta’s Premier Danielle Smith. And then … She starts this nonsense of mimicking Trump and demanding Alberta gets more judicial power than all the other provinces and territories. Which reassured my “ common sense ” that these “ niceties ” she has been displaying these past few months were definitely   political ploys. Blessing for me because now I could resume my deep fired dislike of the traitorous rhetoric she spells. Ploys constructed to distract non-Albertians from her real initiatives and encourage us to let our guard down. Guaranteed somehow both Smith and Trump are tied together in this. Incidentally, Time wise, this coincided with   one of the first of many early warnings the American people ignored. I do not believe in coincidences. That said, you have to wonder how Premier Smith came out with the sudden decision to ban certain books and genres of magazines. At the same time as President Trump and his band of...
