I'm so glad I live in Canada and like it. Being in Europe would be interesting, I could travel the continent by train, but Canada is diverse enough in its provinces that I don't have to use the airlines, or venture south into Gilead. If I want country, cowboys and steaks, there is Alberta. If I want snow, there is Yukon which have hot springs. If I want a rugged marine climate, there's Newfoundland......

stunt commented on Derren Brown's Tricks of the Mind: book explains magic, hypnosis and the rationale for rationalism
Alternative medicine opinions are too much of a blanket opinion across the board in his book. The term, more often than not, is a subject that they try to tie into quackery when there are cheaper and safer methods of healing and treatment that are quite measurable with before after medical records, which should warrant further study. However, the book is a comprehensible overview of what he specializes in, which is about communicating with people with a heightened awareness of how to trigger human behavior with suggestion to the suggestible. I am a big fan. I recommend the book....
