if canada was warm every day of the year it might be a nice place to live.
you're right, but it just comes back to the fact that as long as I'm provided with the opportunity for a comfortable life, I will tacitly support (via taxes) whatever wrongheaded policy (or worse, war) they come up with. as long as the malls are open I guess I'll be happy?
Okay, that's a little dismissive. But what can I do to NOT support a policy? It seems writing a letter to my congressman is the only viable option, eh?
i'm not that angry, but you're wrong that I'm angry about what the politician says. I'm angry about the salience of the message, not the messenger. good advice, nonetheless
