Hello, Yank -

Oh, well, I've tried to argue all those points with various conservative friends, and persuade them of my point of view. Generally speaking, they tried to do the same back to me. I'm always willing to listen, if they're willing to listen.

I find they are usually just as sure of their ground as I am of mine. Once you're convinced of anything you can usually find a plethora of facts that seem to support it.

I guess we will all just keep on trying in our own particular way.

I look forward to the day when Mike Harris's Conservative party is voted out in Ontario, which will very likely happen in the next election.

An article in the Toronto Star today says that the gap between rich and poor in Canada is larger now than it has ever been. No surprise to me, with so many homeless on the streets, many of them mental patients from clinics that have been closed down due to government cuts. The top half of the population now has 94% of the money in Canada.

And apparently it's even worse than that in the USA, according to the same article.

That's what Mike Harris calls the "common sense revolution". I call it the "I'm all right, Jack." syndrome. Mike Harris was born rich.

Now I've got a telemarketer on my back. AAAARGGGHH!

Talk to ya later...
