Meet the Press leaves me Depressed

I hope most Americans were watching this Sunday's Meet the Press with Tim Russert.It was very clear from what the Clinton camp's mouthpiece was saying that the Clinton campaign knows they've lost the race for delegates and plan to try to either use delegates from Michigan & Florida which both camps had agreed were disqualified,or use the so called super delegates,Washington insiders the Clinton's feel they can dominate.Both schemes would require backroom dealings and under handed rule bending to succeed. This is classic Clinton politics and if it should come down to this kind of tactic at the Denver convention.It will be the one way that the democrats could conceivably lose the election in November.The people who support Hilary Clinton will support the Obama run for the presidency.The Obama people are so loyal to him and so opposed to everything the Clinton's stand for,they would probably not vote at all.Obama has drawn people who have never or have not recently felt any reason to participate in politics.They would probably rather stay home than to have any part in another four years of a Clinton in the White House.

Don't Let Them Get Away With It

The courts in Alberta have ruled that a company can fire an employee for giving(under threat of losing job)a dirty urine test.The court ruled that such a person would,like a cab or truck driver,be a danger on the jobsite.This precedent setting case,if allowed to stand.Would mean that any employer could demand a drug test as a condition of employment.It would also mean that,even in the absence of any test that can show any but up to 45 day exposure.Even though there's no way to show casual or active exposure.That any one in Canada could be fired for exposure to marijuana smoke,no matter how casual or accidental that may be.Let the Alberta Human Rights and Citizenship Commission know that you want this case appealed.

The Story of the Year

There's no doubt what the story of the year is,especially if you have google earth.I was trying to check out the polar ice cap and guess what?It wasn't there.I had my room mate come and take a look and we fooled around with altitude and different angles and locations and there was not a single chunk of ice large enough to appear on the image.We found the Greenland and Icelandic glaciers and a few smaller skirts of ice around the northern most islands but no real ice.I hear they took sailboats through the NW Passage for five weeks without difficulty.The Harper government,along with it's sabotage of Bali,has increased it's purchases of SUV's by 80+%.This included the RCMP,ministerial motorcades and personal vehicles of Canada's "new"government.There's going to be an election soon and I would ask people to remember the way this government has acted and the way it's ripping the legacy right out of the hands of future generations.Why haven't we been told the truth about Afghanistan?If any one doubts we're there to protect American interest in Caspian oil,they don't read enough.Why are Canadian boys lives been sacrificed in the name of the American war on drugs?Ask Mr.Putin about Afghanistan.Ask any country that has tried to possess that country.What are we doing there?Do we actually believe that democracy can be spread from the barrel of a gun?Stephen Harper thinks Canadians support his climate denial and his invasion of a foreign country.Any one that buys that we were invited forgets who invited us and who put that government in place.To model our countries drug policies on a failed and disgraced US war on drugs.A policy that the Americans themselves are backing away from is both ironic and tragic.When the next election comes and it's very close.Please take the time to research what you can about the things I've mentioned.Don't just take my word for it.You might take a look at our military budget since the Conservatives took charge.You're paying for it.
