The Dangers of Democracy

Canada seems to be poised at the brink of disaster, that is if you are a real Canadian. However if you are a CBC journalist angry at the Liberal Government for locking you out in 2005, then of course the Conservatives "its time for a change" takes on an ominus tone. Yet it seems the CBC television and radio are poised to bring down the Liberal Government. Yet they don't realize that the Conservatives will literally rip Canada apart from head to toe and basically destroy all that Canada considers as Canada, and create a New Mississipi, complete with Hurrican Katrina messes called Indian Reservations....if only the Canadians knew what the Conservatives had planned....I guess a glossy campaign where the Conservative leader Stephen Harper is protected from the media by a bunch of angry body guards and only makes appearances to make an announcement and slinks back into the dark dark conservative world...almost like as if it is like the Lemony Snicketts comment "the adults never listen" if they only knew the truth.

The Horrible Truths

Often forgotten in this world are the poor, the minorities, while we read about and listen to what the "white man" has to say. If we look at the list of what white people have to say about natives in Canada, like, "look at them when they are drunk, when they are sober, when they are in jail"...things like that. It is sad that white people are no different either when they are "drunk when they are sober when they are in jail" either.

These are the Horrible Truths of world. The shocking truth is no one is different. Not the drunken muslim womenizers who hijacked the three planes on September 11, 2001. Not the drunken US and Coalition marines who daily shoot innocent Sunnis today in response.

We are all in a way slaves of the modern world. We are all subjects of the mighty world wide multi conglomerates. Everyone wants to be the rich white entrepreneur it seems, us working class poor seem to generalize everyone as the other. We point to the minorities, to the poor, to the disadvantaged to show we are better than they are. Yet the poor don't often have to put up with the working class have to, the conspiracy of the rich as some world class philosphers would say. We don't have to put up with endless calls with VISA, or fight City Hall over snow on the driveway, or worry about some Conservative Politician who wants to yet again blame the poor, the disadvantaged for gun crimes and shady ad salesmen....no the poor starving masses of the world don't have to worry about Ford SUV recalls, or the dangers of additions to gasoline, or whether the government hires enough natives, or provides safe drinking water and so on. No the poor have a different set of priorities.
