“Crime Fighters” is either another term for Super Heros or another term for going after a symptom rather than the cause. Hugh McFayden and his Conservatives are going to get 350 new “crime fighters” if they get elected on May 22.
“Punishment” should not be synonomous with “solution.”
Guess that is all there is to say
Elizabeth May and Stephane Dion have made a deal that does not matter to anyone except to those in Central Nova.
Everyone else should shut-up.
How does this non-agression pact make a difference to anyone except those in that riding? What difference will this make to the NDP seeing since they likely would not win there anyway? Unless Peter MacKay loses to E.May what difference will it make to the Conservatives? And the Liberals have lost nothing either. The only way this will make a difference to anyone is if E.May wins. And that difference is minimal to those outside of Central Nova.
The difference for Central Nova is they have someone else representing them and that person would also be a party leader. The operative words here are that E.May would represent Central Nova.
The difference for the rest of Canada is only imagined. If she loses then there is nothing to imagine. If she wins then the only real difference is that we can collectively say that someone from the Green Party has won a seat in the House. But what other significance can there be for someone in BC or Alberta or Ontario or anywhere else in Canada? The difference is only imagined because it is not real.
People of Central Nova, let your voice be heard. Let Politicians and the rest of Canada know what you think.
Everyone else should shut-up.
“Let us devote to unselfishness the frenzy we once gave gold and underpants.” – Kurt Vonnegut in Breakfast of Champions (1973)
Where there is no time, the vacuum is filled with all the points of time at once: Time as a singularity. Kurt Vonnegut now smiles down on us from this vast nothingness.
Which is worse: living a life of meaning and purpose and not being recognized or living a mediocre, quazi-influential boring life and only being celebrated only for the reason of celebration. Which is worse? Being denied the famed which has been earned or seeing someone else earn celebrity status for no other reason than her ability to coordinate a warddrobe?
I present to you Kurt Vonnegut and Belinda Stronach.
Kurt Vonnegut, mercy and peace be upon him, died today at the age of 84. Belinda Stronach’s political career never had a chance to truly live: it was still-born and no one noticed. What had she done to warrent everyone buzz-buzzing about this moents after it was public? That is all anyone was talking about on Progressive Bloggers and the Blogging Tories. Who gives a damn!!?
Kurt Vonnegut, may he rest in peace, left a legacy and he will be missed. Belinda, on the other hand, can have her seat filled with another pretty face. Maybe this time the face will gain celebrity by action rather than mere presence.
Vonnegut can’t be replaced. He won’t be replaced. But postings about Belinda have already been replaced by the next “big thing” whatever the hell that may be. And it ain’t Vonnegut. Vonnegut is not the next big thing. He is huge and I hope he spits down on the scourge that is the earth. Especially those who only have use for the sensationalistic. I hope I have sensationalized this enough for you to consume. I doubt it. But for now . . .
Vonnegut has Flown the Coop.
Good for him.
