this is the actual, flat truth: i don't care. i expected the government would be corrupt. i was not naive. i did not think they would be different. and, they can steal as much money as they care about, i'll still vote for them if they make some progress on reducing emissions, on poverty reduction, on legal liberalization (marijuana, assisted-suicide, etc), on feeding the beast and and on some of other things i actually care about.

let the conservatives yell and scream about finance. i don't care. i care about social issues.

apologies for the bad grammar. i'm still amazed that the cbc does not allow editing. it's the way people write nowadays.

but, this narrative expired about 1995. the thing is that the media is driven by an old tory guard that is completely out of touch with people under 50. it's this cycle of information going around in the heads of old folks, and that almost nobody else cares at all about.

let the right yell itself into irrelevance. just focus on what people actually care about.
