In case you're interested, yes, I am still here...
I can't really say why I haven't posted much lately. At first, I thought it was because I was busy. Then, I felt it was due to the heat. Now, I am feeling a little less optimistic about things and feel a bit overwhelmed by the world.
Many of you know that I try to avoid the news because of it's negative viewpoint. I have seen a few stories lately and quickly turn it off. I have my own perspectives on things that I'd like to share a bit on.
First, elected governments are a farce. They tell people that they are going to work for positive change and once elected, turn things around by trying to convince people that their promises just weren't that realistic. The funny thing is that I never ever believe the promises these politicians make yet there are many out there who get angry about when politicians go back on their word. Now, I thought that I was naive but these people just don't get it.
Secondly, it's all about money. Forget foresight in urban planning and responsible environmental choices. These governments and big companies don't give a rat's ass about that stuff. They just care about how much money is going to line their pockets. (I'm sorry Mr. Harper but you do not speak for me on whether I can or cannot reach the levels of the Kyoto Accord. Canadians are fighters and they don't need to be told that they are just not up to snuff and cannot do it. That's bullshit!) I'm really tired of this and I know there are many others who are also tired. Anyone care to join in my fight against this?
Thirdly, I have a personal responsibility to leave this place that I live the same, if not better, than when I came here. I take that responsibility seriously and will continue doing that.
Okay. So I got that off of my chest.
Have a great weekend everyone. I'll be back next week!
