rebellion

Where all your rights become only an accumulated wrong; where men must beg with bated breath for leave to subsist in their own land, to think their own thoughts, to sing their own songs, to garner the fruits of their own labors...then surely it is a braver, a saner and truer thing, to be a rebel in act and deed against such circumstances as these than tamely to accept it as the natural lot of men.
~ Roger Casement

insanity

I look around and watch what people do to each other and it seems to me that we have lost our humanity…..peope are rude, ignorant and really just plain nasty in thier daily interaction with others.

Calgary is a city that is growing at an astounding rate. I heard on the radio a week or so ago that the population is projected to grow by 40,000 to 50,000 people per year over the next 4 years. That puts an additional 200,000 potential new people in a city that is already at 1.2 million in the city proper. This does not include the outlying areas that surround the city, and the cracks are already showing in our civility.

This leads me to believe that the current pressures that are already upon poeple here and I assume the cause of the rudness to others; will only increase.

The only sane thing to do, in my books….is to head for the hills...live off the grid and wait and watch for the meltdown that WILL come.
