"Some of us are good with the music, some are born to the gun
We all keep doing whatever we can, under the insurgent sun"


bullets not ballots ? sounds like Bolivia these days... trouble is the gov't has the big, smarter guns and lots of them, and lots of practice... and if there be any civil emergency that the uniforms can't handle, we have just signed an agreement ( without parliamentary debate) with the US, that allows either country to send 'forces' across the border (if requested) to assist with the 'response'.... sounds okay when we're talking about natural disasters.... but the authorities didn't really specify.... so, one call from Ottawa to Washington, and the mountain brigade from Fort Drum NY., could secure Montreal, Toronto and Ottawa within a few days.....scary thought, but it's already been thought out at the higher levels....so we'll just keep you distracted by bird poop on Dionne, the PMs warm fuzzy TV ads, and the new NHL song contest.... and by the way, how much is the Afghan mission costing us, to the closest billion please.... pass the syrup
