Beware Bob, the animals are coming
As citizens of a society, it is our duty to act as ethically as we can. However, in our quest to do the right thing, sometimes we misjudge the consequences of a particular action and end up doing something that we later regret.

Evolution is a dirty process
The evolution of a species is a peculiar thing. Each species evolves and mutates over millions of years, adapting and becoming more suited to its particular environment. Seen from a global perspective, this process of adaptation seems to be fluid and relatively constant. However, examined more closely, evolution takes on a different face altogether.

Evil has a face. A vile flowery face
Good and evil are terms we use quite often but they are surprisingly hard to define. A lot of people have very differing opinions when it comes to morality. Differences in culture and upbringing as well as underlying ideological leanings can cause much disagreement when it comes to defining right and wrong. Some people think that since beliefs and values vary so much, there is no such thing as an objective right or wrong. These people, though perhaps convincing, are wrong.

Cheering for the bad guy
Rarely do we, as the common folk most of us are, actually get a chance to witness greatness. Most of us are so used to being afloat in the sea of mediocrity that surrounds us that we forget what true greatness looks like—or that it even exists. Today I want to remind and assure you all that greatness is still alive.

Only the devil wants you to see
OK, so I’ve been skirting around the issue for long enough; every week writing about something even more inane than the last, completely ignoring what I’ve really been wanting to talk about until now. I cannot however, continue to bite my tongue any longer, for fear that I might bite it clean off and then have to explain to the emergency doctor how I came to bite off my tongue — not an easy task without a tongue.

Murderers in plain sight
Hey everybody, I’m back again with some good and evil for you all. This week I want to talk about something very dangerous that affects us all, but that very few people actually know about.

Unicorns would kill and then mount you if given the chance
Hi. I’m J. Williamez. Like me, I’m sure you’ve all noticed that there’s been a lot of talk lately in the media and in popular culture about unicorns. This week, in Good and Evil I’d like to dispel some of the most common myths about unicorns, while at the same time, sharing some interesting and little known facts about these majestic yet tragically misunderstood creatures.

Complaining about those who complain about marijuana, which doesn’t need to be complained about
So another Winnipeg winter has come and gone, and spring is finally here. We as Winnipeggers now find ourselves in limbo between the two main complaining seasons. Spring and autumn can be very trying times for all of us in this fair city as it can sometime be unclear exactly what we should be complaining about.

Just do it!
Well, here we are Gang; it’s already the last issue of the school year. Pretty soon most of you will be done classes and up to your elbows in meth and hookers.

Growing up is tough, unless you’re a gynecologist
Hi Gang. It’s me, J. Williamez. I’m back for yet another edition of my weekly column “Good and Evil with J. Williamez” (because there are clearly not enough people complaining about it to make the editors force me to stop).

Birthdays: Bad for You, Good for the Economy
If you’ve ever celebrated a birthday at a bar or licensed restaurant with any more than one friend, then you know that birthdays can be very hazardous to your health.

Liberty or death
While I was sitting down the other day for a nice long think, I noticed something ironic. Well, at least I think it was ironic. I’m never really sure when something is ironic or not.

It’s time to talk about J-Dog
If you want to make friends, there are a few subjects you should never talk about: politics, necrophilia, mittens, etc. But by far the most important one of these to avoid is religion. This week, I’m not going to be making any friends.

Let’s make love
Love. Love is a wonderful and powerful thing. One minute, it can make you think you can fly, another, it can make you feel completely invisible. Under love’s influence, people have done some pretty crazy things, and even forgotten who they are once in a while. Love can scare the shit out of you and it can make you forget your own name. Despite all of this, love is something that can really open your mind, and can change the way you look at everything in your life.

Just for you: A universal conversation topic
Hi Gang. This week, I’d like to do you all a huge favour; not because I’m especially fond of any of you, but because I like the thought of you all owing me a huge favour (and you can never have too many people to help you move).

You’re either rich and powerful or naked at the mall
So my editor told me that this week’s issue of The Uniter (the one you are currently reading, or wrapping fish with) is all about power. So I’ve decided to follow suit and address the morality of power. My article this week might be a little more serious than some of you have come to expect from me, but in my defense, I don’t give a shit about what you think, so you can suck my butt.

Pretirement: the future is now (and much cleaner)
Hey Gang, J. Williamez here, with yet another installment of Good and Evil. In sticking with my theme, I’d like to talk to you all today about something which is both good and evil: employment.

Warning! rampant Hippyism on the loose
Do you make many of the important decisions in your life based on vibes and energies? Do you often go weeks without bathing or wearing socks? Do you ever start emotional and politically driven speeches, but forget what you’re talking about after around 15 minutes of complete non-sequitur?
