Reply To: Bill Bennett resignation On Wednesday, February 7, 2007

I had a bumper sticker on my van once which read, “Politicians and the homeless. Both begging for inadequate change.”
Sad, If I do say so myself, that a local politician can’t restrain his anger over issues such as these without writing in a tone that is considered not so sweet. Sometimes we need to speak loud in order to be heard tho. I’m sad that Bennet did what he did, yet proud that he had the balls to do it. Just further proves my point that not enough people Vote.
He was speaking on behalf of so many concerned citizens which makes it justifiable that he was doing what we pay him to do.
I say close the border. And those of you who are whining about how bad the states influence is on our economy etc. Take a good look around. A new Walmart in Pincher Creek Alta for instance. this privatized highway bullshit. The problem is we can’t get ahead without bowing down to the country that believes everyone owes it something.
Being Canadian isn’t just a stamp on a certificate, or a birthplace. It’s far more complicated than attitude too. It’s believing that what we stand up for is right in our minds and for our future. Sadly if the US disagrees we’ll be in war with them cuz they believe people like Oprah.
Boycott whoever you want. But if you really want to make some waves start boycotting 711, Macdonalds, A&W, Subway, Boston Pizza, and all the other stupid franchises that do nothing more than make our country less original and make another country richer. I refuse to comment on much more than I know about, yet I could go on for days on this topic.
Don’t judge a person from where they’re from, judge them on their actions alone.
And while I’m on the topic of boycotting useless influence, think about how much syndicated tv we watch. Is it ours? Does it relate to us? Do we need to know what Idiots in another country think of certain celebrities and people? I propose EKTV but I’m sure its ratings will plummett with a new Jackass type series which will further rot the brains of generations to come.
Is this politics, or the Muppet show?
PS. I’m in no way responsible for voting him in to start with. Maybe he ran outta good smoke during his letter writing.
