"Dear Peace and six......grow up."

Guest, I have voted in every election I was allowed to for forty years now. What your grow up statement says to me is that possibly you think things are fine. They are not from my view. I live in Alberta, arguably the richest province in Canada. No provincial debt. Money comin' out the yinyang. And over 20% of the children in this province live below the poverty level. That is one in five kids. About 75% of the single moms in this province default on their child-support/spouse-support payments. When education dollars were cut, the first programs that took the hit were programs for special needs kids. When social services took a cut, the poorest of the poor took the hit. When this government needed money it also took from health care--and now they are trying really hard to get many clinics to privatize--and clinics that then become for-profit places begin to separte the rich and poor even further. Perhaps you have no concern for those who need help. (Maybe you do, and we just perceive very different ways to accomplish that.) However, you remark to me (and six, although I don't know if it offened him--so, I'll speak only for myself--is the cheap kind of shit that gets said by people I tend not to like. I expect you are a regular who lacks the intestinal fortutitude to post as who you are. That then says lots more about you than it does about me. Have a nice day.
