BBC – The Best Place on Earth?

I am in BC right now – and noticed that they changed the license plates from "Beautiful British Columbia" or BBC to "The Best Place on Earth". Isn’t this a bit egotistical? Just like a beautiful woman seems no longer beautiful after she says she is beautiful, I think that BC could use a great deal more modesty. Yeah, the ocean views are nice – and yeah, the mountains are great. But the back road near the airport I went running on this morning was pretty ugly… and the bad areas in Vancouver are way scarier than anything in Fair Toronto. Get over yourself BC – there are lots of great places on earth!

  1. Toronto is one incredible city, but you just can’t beat BC for natural beauty. The beauty was there before BC was, though!

    Another case of the BC biggots!

  3. Blimey, I nearly thought you meant the BBC!

  4. Then you must have thought the ‘best place on earth’ comment was very funny. Yes, agreed that it is (shudder) beautiful there – but if it is the best place, what does that make all the other beautiful places in the world?

  1. No trackbacks yet.

I’m On the Run from the Killer B’s

B for Belief. B for Belonging. The B's that lead to most of the killing in the world. If you don't Belong among us, then you're our inferior, our enemy, or both. And you can't Belong among us if you don't Believe what we Believe. Maybe not even then, but it certainly helps. Our religion, our party, our tribe, our town, our school, our race. Believe. Belong. Behave. Or Be Damned.
