And we always feel bad for whatever got caught,
displayed in the bundle,
a final stand.

HUMANIMALZ / / // /// // // /// //
ALL of the multiple interactions collide,
variables, in a moment,
alchemy insists that time must march,
and form newer nodes,
and look to those and look to those and those too;
and when the Universe is collapsing,
hold hands;
exploding light showers many,
for an instant microwave;
and in our instant,
the essence of transcend will rise above,
to transcend rise above itself.

What do Hockey Players and Politicians Have in Common? Dan Hedges
What do Hockey Players and Politicians Have in Common?
A.K.A. The Most Powerful Amongst Us Are Letting Us Down
Politicians have been the punch-line and brunt of many jokes lately in Canada. Is this fair? Probably; the Canadian political arena has been coloured by multiple scandals, and leaders that spend much time and resources just bashing each other, motivated by shallow partisan divides. Canadians are really starting to experience fatigue with politicians, LOOSING PATIENCE with these well paid 'representatives'.
In fact, the professional hockey players in Canada are on thin ice as well. Street-style fighting and cheap shots are as common as ever in the current N..H.L. Recent events in Montreal are exemplary of N.H.L. players behaving badly. Head injuries have been on the rise; violence is very much an accepted part of the 'game'. The rich athletes and organizations that sustain them end up having a huge impression on youth; and herein lies problem number two (problem number one being the politicians).
So as the question 'What do Hockey Players and Politicians Have in Common?'; they are both letting us down. They are both failing to be the role models that they ought to be. Schools teach the ideals of cooperation, mutual respect, teamwork, sharing, and kindness, starting in Kindergarten. While the education system attempts to create thoughtful, skilled, and tolerant citizens, some of the most powerful amongst us (including hockey players and politicians) are acting in a way totally contrary to the value system that schools and parents wish to instill in children. This is a problem. This is a serious problem.
Perhaps the various GM's and political parties of Canada should receive thousands of messages from Canadians with one important question: “What example are you setting?”.
While violence and hate tends to lead to more violence and hate; so too does cooperation and positivity replicate itself. When politicians spend money to attack other human beings (which they have been doing lately), should they act surprised when they find out that our youth are participating in cyber-bullying. Where is there any semblance of sanity in this paradigm?

New Slang // /// /// /// The Shins
Gold teeth and a curse for this town were all in my mouth.
Only, i don't know how they got out, dear.
Turn me back into the pet that i was when we met.
I was happier then with no mind-set.
And if you'd 'a took to me like
A gull takes to the wind.
Well, i'd 'a jumped from my tree
And i'd a danced like the king of the eyesores
And the rest of our lives would 'a fared well.
New slang when you notice the stripes, the dirt in your fries.
Hope it's right when you die, old and bony.
Dawn breaks like a bull through the hall,
Never should have called
But my head's to the wall and i'm lonely.
And if you'd 'a took to me like
A gull takes to the wind.
Well, i'd 'a jumped from my tree
And i'd a danced like the kind of the eyesores
And the rest of our lives would 'a fared well.
God speed all the bakers at dawn may they all cut their thumbs,
And bleed into their buns 'till they melt away.
I'm looking in on the good life i might be doomed never to find.
Without a trust or flaming fields am i too dumb to refine?
And if you'd 'a took to me like
Well i'd a danced like the queen of the eyesores
And the rest of our lives would 'a fared well.

The Insulting and Patronizing Nature of Modern Politics /// /// by Dan Hedges
The Insulting and Patronizing Nature of Modern Politics: A.K.A. Wake up People
by Dan Hedges
The political process itself is in need of a serious overhaul; the signs are obvious. That being said, I also want to offer some positive suggestions, instead of just indulging in a buffet of negativity.
The current political system is no less than alienating, insulting, and patronizing to so-called ordinary citizens. I will evoke the Canadian example although I strongly suggest that what I am about to spout about, is also applicable to other modern realities.
Politicians are masters of the game itself; mostly well meaning folks who perpetuate the 'order of things'. However, in Canada, we are getting all to used to HELLISH scenario in which our so-called leaders publicly attack each other with their partisan poles; while we look on, at what sometimes just appears more like a Tom and Jerry episode that encaptures the ethos of immaturity itself. Furthermore, numerous scandals in recent years at the Federal level have seriously injured the reputation of Politics itself, in this country.
Politics is intentionally boring, and the ruling elites have an invested interested in keeping it so BORING. Why? Companies, corporations, and money-makers, have a lot to gain by keeping the SPOTLIGHT on celebrities, and product brands; if the spotlight ever shifted to politics, planning for the future would eclipse immediate gratification as the modern mantra. That kind of shift from shallow to meaningful would be devestating to corporate interest itself.
WE most certainly are waiting for something real and exciting to occur in the political arena. We are STARVING for our politicians just to present authentic personalities, and talk about 'ISSUES' instead of feeding the cycle of partisan bashing; which in its purest form is just stoking a fire of negativity.
The kind loving lightness of wisdom must soon descend upon our metaphorical kingdom; a wisdom which obviously needs to contain values of living in balance with Earth, and manifest the massive importance of kindness into all strands of society. Excessive greed will otherwise cause our demise. The sanctity of life itself is at stake; in ALL OF THIS.
I hope that the politicians can realize the urgency of the situation; and hereby unleash a passionate dragon.
Modern politics in Canada simply insults modern intelligence. Our politicians have some serious catching up to do; I am also positive that there a factor of Generational Lagging, that accounts for the sad situation. Wake up PLEASE; and get with the times. Sweet Mother of Pearl.
The childish, partisan-focused behaviour as of late in Canadian politics is pathetic; it certainly is an embarrasment to the common intelligence and integrity of humans, and life itself, in this imagined Nation.
