Sloth...

...came for me in the night and busted up my blogging finger apparently. Been a wee while since I posted squat.
Bought a new bike yesterday... a nice, smooth-riding commuter. I look forward to getting my use out of it.

Life is good. Sun is shining bright this AM, I'm about to clean up my act and go get some groceries. After that I think I'm going to sweep up around the house, clean my room, do laundry and have an otherwise domestically focussed day.

Started writing again, real pencil to paper stuff... It's enjoyable, but damn I'm rusty. I'll have to polish the hell out of before it's fit for editorial consumption.

The Liberal Party has begun the process of fragmentation and in-fighting known as "leader selection". Harper has begun to try to rollback legislation that was already passed in a free vote in the House and is proposing to build massive prisons so we can make our society more like that of the US.

Here's a newsflash: I've been talking to some people down there, citizens, you know? People who work for a living, not politicians and blue-skying neo-conservative political theorists, people who actually vote... and they've been saying that they aren't happy with a lot of things that are going on down there... Maybe, just maybe, we should make our own decisions and not build our nation and society into a clueless fanboy's replica of the US as it exists right now.

Hmmm... I guess the kind of thinking that makes one be themselves is not very compatible with the conservative mindset. Well, fair enough, why make your own mistakes when you can re-tread someone else's tried and true ones?

Sloth... it affects people in different ways. Some people stop blogging, others stop thinking for themselves.
