Whine, Complain

Things the Federal Liberals did that I didn't like:

• Canadian Firearms Registry - that's a billion dollars that could have been spent actually preventing crime
• Sponsorship Scandal
• Generally being a bunch of entitled, self-righteous twits

Things the Federal Conservatives are doing that I don't like

• Renamed the government after their leader (srsly, WTF)
• Gagged all government scientists
• Gutted scientific research and environmental review
• Gutted freedom of the press by not actually having genuine press conferences
• Suspicious electoral activity
• Generally being a bunch of entitled, self-righteous twits

Mostly there are a lot of really weird and disturbing things going on now.

• As seen in the US, politics is becoming a weird, polarized mix of marketing and sport bordering on religion
• That is, there is no substance or policy, just efforts to convince by confusion
• We're asked to pick a team to cheer for, not ask if the players are any good, if we should form our own team, or if we should play a different game entirely

I think I'm a political atheist.

Edit Sept. 10, 2012 - severed diplomatic relations with Iran
