Baseball is a popular pasttime in america, perhaps we should all practice. Hrm, I could be in the wrong sub.

Ah, not to worry. I predict the current referendum vote is to go 40% / 30% / 30% for ‘No further referendum’ / ‘Referendum to go’ / ‘referendum to stay’ respectively, which our premier will say ‘Oh, looks like 60% of folks want some form of further referendum’, so they can drag this out for another few years while we all grow even more furious about it. Then they’ll have another referendum and then finally find out that the majority of people would actually rather stay in Canada, or, more likely, further manoeuvring to keep the whole thing dragging out for all time - more time for the UPC to use our own money to feed us lies and propaganda.

It seems like the perfect issue to keep us all angry and give her leverage to get gifts and hall passes from the feds. I think the main threats to her are the separatists inside her party ousting her, or another provincial conservative party popping up to split the vote. I don’t think either are putting her at significant risk though.

I will continue to hope otherwise.

I sometimes think that violence is seen as the easier answer. It is short term thinking, a big risk for an immediate possible reward versus a brutally long marathon of effort needed to enact real change non-violently. Statistically the long slog is the correct choice though.

You cannot keep fighting if you are dead from a violent act, but if you get up and apply pressure everyday it will add up. Be a warrior of great and enduring patience. Get up when you fail and try again. Learn and live a long time. And other words of motivation that are written on white ladies kitchen walls.

Hey, it is difficult to reach your butthole when you are twice the healthy BMI. And the back inflexibility from sitting 16hrs a day doesn’t help either.
