Oh that? Just a little leftover explosives I had hanging around…
Sometimes I read the newspaper and I want to scream. Other times
I feel inclined to picket offices, throw pies at bureaucrats’ faces (as
a pacifist and a pie lover, that’s pretty mad for me) or advocate for
vandalism.
I don’t.
These days there are just too many corrupt politicians, lying
businessmen (and presumably businesswomen, but nowhere near the number because women are rarely promoted to positions of real power) and unethical people destroying the lives of people and nature around us.
From the oil shills trying to persuade us that this time when they dump a crapload of pollution into our rivers and oceans they
will be faster and more efficient at cleaning up the mess. (never
mind that Enbridge hasn’t developed a plan yet—just trust them. they are working on it. oh and by the way, all those other spills elsewhere don’t count, they called, “Mulligan”) But gosh they produce pretty ads showing nature they haven’t yet killed off.
Monsanto and their behind-the-scenes political backers who,
despite vast, irrefutable research showing how dangerous their products are, and a European ban on GMO products, continue to mislead consumers, destroy nature through seed stock contamination, and dump hazardous chemicals into our food supply. Monsanto CEOs are well represented in U.S. Congress, but I’m not sure who they’re sleeping with in Canada to get the free pass in product approval here.
The Senate boondoggle—what is so difficult about showing the cheque that Nigel Wright gave to Mr. Duffy? And why do these vastly overpaid political lackeys (with gold plated pensions to boot) feel entitled to nickel, dime and thousand-dollar-bill tax payers under the thin guise of expenses anyway?
And now I’m reading that our military has casually discarded
unexploded weapons all across BC. (over 200 locations in
BC alone where our National Defense abandoned various bombs, flares and grenades) The government’s response? They
labeled these large tracts of land as “Legacy Sites” but they haven’t made any moves to remove the buried weapons or protect people when these devices surface.
And the hits just keep on coming. I’m beginning to think there’s
only one logical response. I should cancel all my newspaper subscriptions and buy more wine and chocolate. At least it would make me happier...
