BLAME CANADA

Have we learned nothing from our neighbors from the south? How can so many Canadians be so blind? Electing Stephen Harper and his cronies is the most ridiculous thing this country has allowed to happen since Brian Mulroney nearly ran this country into the ground.
I have never been so angry and so scared before. What do I see for the landscape of Canada for the next few years? Here's what I see:
A woman's right to choose will no longer be a right.
A human being's right to marry whomever they want will no longer be a right.
Artist's hopes for funding will be dashed.
And the war in Iraq will come to Canada. We will no longer be in the peacekeeper role.
Mr. Harper and Mr. Bush are cut from the same cloth.
How can so many Canadians be so blind???

Veggie Heaven

This morning I had the extreme displeasure of watching a TV advertisement for PETA and I have decided that the time has come for me to declare my vegetarianism. I have been playing with the idea for years now of going the whole hog (no pun intended) and giving up meat all together but what I saw today disgusted me so much that I now believe I don't have a choice. I gave up red meat a long time ago but stuck with chicken and fish but now I realize that it just isn't enough.
So let me ask this question: Why do so many people exploit and torture animals? That is something I have never understood. Even at 12 years old I knew that the fur my mother so proudly paraded around town came at the cost of many lives. I have and never will understand the need to torture and kill just so someone can wear a dead animal, it just doesn't make sense to me.
It will be hard for me to break the chicken and fish habit but I feel I have no choice now. Is there anyone out there who can give me some pointers? I really would appreciate it.

Desperate for a Job

Anybody out there looking for a writer/receptionist/office admin Goddess? If so, would you please give me a job??? I am so tired of looking that I am almost ready to give up completely and accept the inevitable: that I am going to be a a gym recpetionist for the rest of my cursed life!
Working in a gym wouldn't be so bad if I didn't have to deal with bone headed neanderthals who try and pick me up every day. I have had so many encounters that could be construed as sexually harrassing in the last two years that I could seriously write a book about my job. The worst thing about it is the fact that my boss is in on it. I can't even count the times he has come up to me and asked if I got laid last night. He thinks it's a joke...I think he's a dumb ass.
Why is it that men lose all their brain cells when they enter a gym environment? Is it because their egos suck up all the air or do they let their muscles do the talking?
Will someone please put me out of my misery? Take pity on me...give me a normal job! Preferably one that doesn't require me to threaten the clients with lawsuits if they don't leave me alone!
