Another Canadian Federal Election Some Random Thoughts
From the Conservatives, anger, fear, and trying to defend the little that they were going to give the middle and working classes. The Liberals stumble a little off the start with the coalition, before they say they will not form one. The NDP off to a good start supporting the working and middle classes. The Greens still to come.
All this talk of a coalition is very much to do about nothing. The Conservatives, have governed for the past 5 years with loosely some could argue a de facto coalition being supported by the Liberals, NDP, and Block at one time or another.
On another note, where do the Canadian political place in the right to left political frame work?
The Conservatives without the old "Progresives" are now a right wing party, giving up the center altogether. The Liberals have also moved to the right they now occupy the center right. The NDP have also moved right taking the center left, along with the Green party, and really no one now on the left wing of Canadian politics.
To be up front I will rule out voting for the Conservatives. The main reason is trust, and accountability. Trust, in that Harper said he would not appoint senators which he did, and not revieling the cost of programs that are to be voted on. Then accountability, to many times hearing interviews with the prime ministers spokes person on issues to do with parliament when if not the prime minister then another conservative MP should be responding to questions not an unelected "mouth piece".
One other reason for not voting Conservative. The Conservative party more than any of the others seems to be run totllaly from the top down. Their back benchers are silenced and nothing is heard but the party talking points. This party has lost it creativity, it sees with only one pair of eyes, those of PM Harper.
I'm waiting for the full debate on, pensions, the environment, costs of housing and food, military spending, taxes both cuts and increase, law and order, wars we are in, food safety, our medical system, etc. etc., Not just one liners, or how each party sees the issues, but how they would deal with them.
Any government that holds power with only 35% of the popular vote, has to still govern for all the people not just the 35% who voted for them. A government not seeing this governs with nothing but arrogance. A government that does not govern for all of Canada, and in the end that responsibility rests on the back benches of the Conservatives, those members who stay silent out of fear of what speaking up will do. That is why I do not support the Conservatives.
Liberal, NDP, or Green. Have some thinking to do.
Well these random thoughts are mine, and I am Douglas Loudon have a good day and take care

Another Note to Myself
Just another note to myself.... To long since I was here and wrote something I found interesting, even if for only myself. Time to contemplate and see what I may say.
You know that even when you dead, gone, become dust, you will still live here, online. Though if some manages to get into your account, you may end up not being who you were. ( If any of us were in the first place)
Enough destruction of the English Language. Have a good day and take care.

Thoughts of a Mad Man
A Random Order
To sit and wonder
I ask myself, what of today
what meaning does it have.
These things time has
Questioned for an
eternity, so what.
It takes time to think
but no time for the end.
Beginning
She said "It is Love."
He said "Is it?"
She said "No it's just sex!"
He said "Oh thank God!"
SLAP!!.
EXCLAMATION
Mother "You had what pierced!
A Tattoo!
Ahhhhh!
You're GROUNDED!"
REBUTTAL
Child "That's not fair. It's a free country. Shit!"
Mother "What did you say. COME HERE!"
Door slams
that look given
walking
gone.
Father "It could have been worse."
SLAP!!
A Later Date
Sweet soaked, the once pristine white silk blouse.
her breathing
shortened
lungs straining,
each breath
excruciatingly
painful!
The celluloid snapped, the crowd booed.
She screamed.
Leaving the theater with her friends she felt cheated.
The vicarious pleasures of this movie snatched away from her.
Back to reality.
Again there was emptiness, a longing for something more with her life,
but nothing.
Home to get drunk by herself once more.
She sits cold.
She has dried, no longer wet from the movie.
Back to reality.
Tomorrow back to work.
Eaten alive.
Not seeing, not understanding.
Living through the fictitious actions of others.
Wanting more.
A trap to slavery, the imprisonment of the soul.
She just sits back and masturbates.
One ending
No ending
to go
to come
different yet the same
to See
Peace
peace
a smile
just practice
always practice
life
living
breath
a smile
one foot following the other as it should be
a path well worn
a path untrodden
home
And the Buddha sits on my desk laughing
