Prayer
Praying that the masses will forget his many faults?
Praying for forgiveness of past political sins?
Praying for a miracle?
Or is he just preaching to the gullible?

Death of Common Sense
An Obituary printed in the London Times - Interesting and sadly rather true..
Today we mourn the passing of a beloved old friend, Common Sense, who has been with us for many years. No one knows for sure how old he was, since his birth records were long ago lost in bureaucratic red tape. He will be remembered as having cultivated such valuable lessons as:
- Knowing when to come in out of the rain;
- Why the early bird gets the worm;
- Life isn't always fair; and
- Maybe it was my fault.
Common Sense lived by simple, sound financial policies (don't spend more than you can earn) and reliable strategies (adults, not children, are in charge).
His health began to deteriorate rapidly when well-intentioned but overbearing regulations were set in place. Reports of a 6-year-old boy charged with sexual harassment for kissing a classmate; teens suspended from school for using mouthwash after lunch; and a teacher fired for reprimanding an unruly student, only worsened his condition.
Common Sense lost ground when parents attacked teachers for doing the job that they themselves had failed to do in disciplining their unruly children
It declined even further when schools were required to get parental consent to administer sun lotion or an aspirin to a student; but could not inform parents when a student became pregnant and wanted to have an abortion.
Common Sense lost the will to live as the churches became businesses; and criminals received better treatment than their victims.
Common Sense took a beating when you couldn't defend yourself from a burglar in your own home and the burglar could sue you for assault.
Common Sense finally gave up the will to live, after a woman failed to realize that a steaming cup of coffee was hot. She spilled a little in her lap, and was promptly awarded a huge settlement.
Common Sense was preceded in death, by his parents, Truth and Trust, by his wife, Discretion, by his daughter, Responsibility, and by his son, Reason.
He is survived by his 4 stepbrothers;
I Know My Rights
I Want It Now
Someone Else Is To Blame
I'm A Victim
Not many attended his funeral because so few realized he was gone.

Canadian Election 2011
Separatist
Socialists
Scholar
And this Guy
Personally, I'm voting for my dog.
Canadian Election 2011
Major-General Sam Steele
of Canada's North West Mounted Police
It's unfortunate that there are no such men running for Prime Minister
Ottawa Canada
Pristine, Proud, Freedom for all
At least, that was the way it was
before the politicians got a hold of it.
Now, its not so clean. It's no longer a place to be proud of.
Freedom now exists only for the select few.
The rest of us just suffer and pay, and pay, and pay...
Drug Lords
So much time spent hiding from the law.
Little do they know they could be their own country.
No one ever said you had to be smart to be a drug lord.

Fairy Wings
Little Angels ,Little Fairies
Little angels fast asleep
Little angels we wish to keep
but time goes by and soon as not
Little angels their fairy wings sprout
Fly away from that which is safe
Fly away from our love with haste
Little angels little fairies
Grow so fast we shall not keep
Explore they must their life alone
Lovers to find and roads to roam

Lovers Leap
Across the oceans the dolphins leap
Playing with friends forever keep
Like lovers play the steel creeps
Across the ocean waves she keeps

Courage is rightly esteemed the first of human qualities...
because it is the quality which guarantees all others.
