Canada Day, and Politics, and the disconnection between government and people...

A radio address by Stuart McLean (a Canadian broadcaster) is rather worth listening to, I think.

"In politics as in everything, the process is as important as the product. You cannot kill your way to peace or lie your way to justice. The way you walk it is the way it is."

Thanks to ladyperegrine for the link.

"All right, it's Saturday night. I've got no date, a 2L bottle of Shasta, and my all-Rush mix tape.

Let's rock."

Actually, it will be Wednesday night, there will no Shasta, Rush will be live, and my date will be the lovely and charming thebitterguy. But I'll be going home with hannahmorgan (possiby)!

I'm going to wear a "baseball cap" and sway to music!
