    Without taxes its quit difficult for governments to have a social program...

    I agree. Taxes should support the welfare of society and the world at large. The present government in Canada has attacked our social structure at every turn, while enriching the wealthy and rearming the forces. It weakens democratic institutions and harasses those that seek to expose the tyranny of capitalist venture. Environmental concerns and protections are a nuisance and dismantled. I resent this government for its treacheries, and find myself a dissident citizen. I appreciate your comment and hope to some day be a proud contributor to Canada again....The title seems a little harsh in hindsight, but frustration can amplify dissent. I'm sure you can understand.

    Yep, I do understand your frustrations... Without the socialistic block in the east, the world has been concurred by just one point off view, on how to deal with the wealth off the world, capitalism, I don't like this system, either. It doesn't believe in equally sharing of the worlds wealth, and makes it easier for the happy few to enrich themselves more. The survival of the fittest...etc. Countries who had more of a socialistic point of view on wealth, letting it more and more go, in benefit of those happy few, sadly enough. I don't think it's strange that there is more and more resistance against the capitalism, because it encourages a lack of balance in this world to grow even larger. In my opinion the strength of a society can be measured by the way the way it treat there weakest members, but by time I feel more and more standing alone in my believes, sadly enough ...

    For quite some time now,I've wanted to make some big changes in my life.
    It always came back to excuses as to why I couldn't at this time. Money being the big problem,
    and my cat was another.He has always been an outside kind of cat.He could never be cooped up in an Apt.
    He loved to hunt mice and shit.I thought I would wait until he died to make the change,He was 18.Last week
    a Coyote got my cat.It was devastating to say the least.Not at all the way I would of wanted him to go.I wonder if I willed this to happen.Now,besides saving up the money,I have no excuses left.I can't see God as being cruel.
    Did he do this for me? Take the one thing that was holding me back? I loved my cat very much,so it's been hard
    to deal with.I wanted to kill the Coyote,but that won't bring him back and it is the nature of the beast.

    for would you eat banana
    oranges are like sun-clouds, a 4th of july helmet
    you are the fighter high up every mountain shield
    a grape-vine with nowhere to go
    suddenly a path
    a snowfall comes is coming storms
    let it go with yourself to be

    give yourself this day
    tomorrow all of them will unfold in time
    here you walk up to deer
    lick them across the head
    the forest happy
    your face saw as wild
    this all so simple
    golden feathers rubbed across your naked body
    you the sky
    slow & rhythmically teasing drops

    yeah rain rolled in it

    a sad face looks
    with one of those eyes probably crossed
    out at the strange way the
    mountain looks so orange
    why is it so orange?
    why is this strange
    it's not the screen
    it must be me or
    is it the screen

    skinny guy tall, black hair & all

    how many experiences exactly is it that I trade for comfort.

    take your hands
    fold them quietly as moon does
    like the seas
    be kind in this way
    your path opening

    radiance

    take away your sight
    feel your day's way
    a seed of gallery
    my only one

    as guitars play up here
    wind is a child climbing on thru

    your hair a land holding fast to where i stand
    this ability gold in flow
    a sun calendar hangs from here
    flying with thunder's magnificence
    across tides leading to shore

    please advance home

    Yeah, I figured that. I couldn't help but think of that song after reading your post. I think teaching is a very noble and under appreciated profession. I myself am exploring the idea of instructing apprentice carpenters at my Union hall. I would have to take an adult educators course for two years in the evenings, however. I can really see myself instructing and being good at it.

    I hope you have a great summer. I'll be looking for some new photos in your Art thread.

    The summer is ready for you

    Just(am) addendum,

    After placing second in the saw off contest (drat) on May 10, the head instructor asked me to come and work in the apprenticeship office assisting instructors on the floor, in the classes and out in the field. It may only be temporary but I get the feeling this is an evaluation for becoming a full time instructor. I am completely stoked about the opportunity.

    In joyous part :)>-

    It all starts with the will....and maybe a burning bush or a vocal cloud.

    you are a robin's garden
    a precise spider web of petunias, predetermined tied up entangled in my ways
    wonderfulness is a verb if you
    lost in a cloud of slushy sunshine view
    tomorrow as an orange plea
    today is wide as black and blue
    what am I going to do?
    not even knowing but where to run to
    just be, you
