I haven't posted much lately. Perhaps the "Shock and Awe" policies of western governments have rendered me speechless in the absence of any meaningfull response from the populace. I've also had consideral personal events to deal with. Mea culpa. Depession at the general world situation is no argument. Strangely I've also noticed a falling off in the posts of many articulate leftist bloggers. Perhaps my general malaise is shared.

Nevertheless I must continue, if only not to view myself much like the old gentleman in my village who would holler loudly and expond righteously in answer to the Sunday religious radio broadcasts. I find myself at times responding to some CBC broadcast with angry curses and cries of "Bullshit", "effing Fascist", or "yellow journalist doing a rotten spin".

So if anyone actually reads these missives I have a vehicle that says I'm not an insane antagonist ranting about nothing.

My intentions are to give an alternate view to the common responses to the issues that bedevil us.

Instead of just cursing the idiots that plague us I hope to advance what I think are rational ideas. We'll see if my intentions are followed up with my present resolve.
