Wading through politics in North America one can get the idea that we have a lot of choice when it comes to running our countries and determining our social policies. It takes the brilliant thoughts of a late comedian to crystallize what our societies have become. Agree or disagree, Carlin’s commentary makes you think.
Any intelligent fool can make things bigger and more complex… It takes a touch of genius – and a lot of courage to move in the opposite direction.
-Albert Einstein

Great video Arb. In the USA there is the corporatist and war crimes republicans and there is the corporatist and war crimes democrats. Here is Canada we tend to have the corporatist and police state CPC and LPC. I can’t label the NDP to be that on the federal level, but they certainly proved to be no friend of the people on the provincial level in Ontario at least. Memories of the “social contract” come to light.

Ah, the NDP. The best choice among bad choices, a worthy moniker of respect in political circles.
