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

One Or Two People
May wonder why I haven't been posting lately. Read this and you will get a clue. Our politics have become completely retarded. It makes no difference whether it's federal or provincial. Who the fuck in their right mind would follow it? I may post again if the spirit moves me. Or, I might just take up full contact yoga.

I have to agree with you on this post. I am so sick of the entire political scene in this country and even globally when you think about it. It's boring enough to read about it let alone what a chore it must be to write about it. I don't know whether it is due to stupidity of the electorate or the way that they are manipulated. I happened to cast my vote in May while in Hong Kong and I really thought we had a chance to finally shake the Con monkey. Boy was I wrong. It seems like the country has been stood on its head and I recognize your frustration. Mine happened a while ago. Don't dispare because the best is yet to come if Vancouver, London, Cairo, etc., is any indication of how far people can be driven.
ReplyDeleteIf they grind you down, they're winning by default.
ReplyDeleteWhere did you get the idea that this was going to be easy?
I can't help thinking that the union organizers of a century ago, who faced dangers up to and including getting lynched or having their balls cut off, would absolutely despise today's weary quitters.
They probably wouldn't think much of trolls either.
ReplyDeleteYeah, that's pretty much my mood at the moment as well.
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't say that sunsin is trolling, necessarily, I have that same thought myself sometimes. But for me I just feel that our society as a whole is in a sort of irreversible decline (in many but not all areas) that just has to run it's course and can't be stopped or even slowed down much at all. Maybe that's just defeatism, but it's a feeling I can't seem to shake.
