i was initially going to add ten cds at a time and listen to them as they came up but i got stuck and i'm deciding that's not the best approach.
what i just did was add the first 100 cds to discogs. i think i underestimated the size of the cd collection, after some big hauls that i am only properly cataloging now. the total should actually be in the 900+ range in the end, and that doesn't include non-cds. there's big jazz and classical updates coming. even so, this is a minimal list that needs to be filled in.
i'm dealing with headaches tonight. the tenants upstairs appear to be smoking crack, which is something i thought i got rid of, and it's continuing to make me sick. i recently learned a lot about shifts to the right in the canadian judiciary over the last 20 years, away from liberal and progressive ideas about non-smokers' rights and towards backwards, regressive and conservative ideas about drug use as a personal choice, and i have to accept that while the law is still on my side, the judiciary isn't. the hard shift to the right engineered by justin trudeau and kim campbell has essentially abolished any right that canadians used to have to fresh air, in favour of retarded right-wing ideas about drug addiction as a personal choice. it's the total triumph of the culture of stupidity. the law is still on my side now, but the corporate political establishment is trying to completely legalize drugs in order to profit off of people dying, and the so-called liberal political class is happily facilitating this. if i want to assert my right to a drug-free environment, i'm going to have to approach this a little differently. the courts are unlikely to stand up for what is called negative rights in the current political environment; they are only likely to support positive rights, and only in a very right-wing context.
there is currently no legal way for normal canadians to protect themselves from the despicable and damaging habits of disgusting, dangerous and unhealthy drug addicts. normal canadians are being increasingly forced to consume their neighbours' drugs against their will, and the court is increasingly refusing to protect their rights to live free from drug use.
these losers are smoking crack in front of their kids. they don't have a health problem, they're demonstrating clear criminality. they belong in a jail cell.
so, because i feel like shit due to the bad habits of my neighbours, and because i may have difficulty in asserting my negative rights to live free from their interference in my health or my fresh air in the current political environment in canada and am going to need to figure out a different way to protect my rights and my health from their poor behaviour and bad habits, i'm going to instead spend the night focusing on updating some of these lists that i had put aside and try to get back to work in the morning, when i feel better. these losers tend to clear out during the week.
