rant

How do you cope with all the silly things famous people, politicians and everyday people are doing these days. More prisons vs neglecting the environment by not supporting Kyoto? Sure, it's not a great accord and doesn't have a lot of teeth but it's the best we have at the moment and at least a starting place. But really, more prisons when crime rates are dropping and studies done don't support them? Harper must feel pretty good about himself. He has a majority so he can do what he wants too, and doesn't have to listen to scientific evidence.

Then there's Alec Baldwin, getting himself ejected from a plane the other day for having a tantrum when the flight attendant asked him to turn his cell phone off. Like the rest of us have to. So he thinks he's above the everyday in flight rules that we all have to deal with? He holds up a plane and all the other passengers who what to get somewhere on time. Someone else who thinks he can just do what he wants to and doesn't have to listen to others.

And lastly, what about those two elders and their wives who tried to cross the border into Canada with three semi-automatic pistols, a derringer-style pistol, and cowboy-style six gun and a shotgun? This was after they denied having any guns in their motor home. What were they thinking? Is there so little news filtering down from Canada to the States that they had no idea we have different gun laws here? Oh, wait a minute. They did lie to the border guards, so they must have known. A little scared of the true north strong and free, were they? Or was this just another case of someone thinking that Canadian laws didn't apply to they and that they could do what they want to.

Enough ranting. Enjoy this Xmas jingle from a very creative young man from Winnipeg, Sean Quigley.
Ra-pa-pa-pum!
