My friends, love is better than anger. Hope is better than fear. Optimism is better than despair. So let us be loving, hopeful and optimistic. And we'll change the world. Jack Layton

Note To Steve: Symbols Are Important
For a smart guy, Harper sometimes acts like he doesn't have a brain in his head. Take for example, the issue of the flag over Parliament. Steve didn't give it a second thought when he lowered the flag over Parliament out of respect for Gerald Ford's passing. Fine, that is a nice gesture and I have no problem with that. However, did no one around him say, "Hey Steve, do you think people might not make a comparison between this act of respect for a foreign leader and your refusal to acknowledge the deaths of our own brave soldiers in Afghanistan, in the same manner"? I doubt it very much. So Steve must have said something to the effect of "Fuck them, I do what I want. I'm the Prime Minister". To which I can only reply. Keep this up and you won't be for much longer.
