Electoral Orifice

I've been watching all this election garbage and i've noticed one thing that stands true about all the commercials. Each party NEVER talks about what they plan to do, and ALWAYS talk about how the other guys messed up. What does any of that accomplish? To further divide us along party lines? I say enough already. Go to your voting booths and tell Ottawa NO! No more partisan politics, we have done this great country a great deal of damage. If you arent willing to go that far, at least tell your M.P that it's time they focused on how they can help us now, not the other guy's past mistakes, maybe then we can get things done. All I know for sure about the election is that Paul Martin re-flagged his ships to avoid paying taxes in canada, and that makes him....a businessman, how many of us are looking for loopholes every year on our tax bill? What about Stephen Harper, all the liberal commercials seem to focus on is that he is against "woman's right to choose" well....HE'S A FREAKIN CONSERVATIVE IS THAT A BIG SHOCK? I don't want to hear any of it, tell me what you're going to do for Canada guys, that's what many of us want to hear. Focus on the issues, not on the mudslinging.

The Family thing...

Been thinking about my father alot lately, we're estranged in a matter of speaking, i havent talked to him in 10 years, and maybe spoken to him 4 times my whole life. No big thing there, but the key is i feel cheated, i feel like half of my family history will never be known cause he and i can't pull it together. So where does that leave me exactly? I'm not so concerned about the "father" thing per se, i have had excellent role models in my life, i just have a desire to know what kind of folk i come from, who they are, what they do etc.. I guess i'm just going to have to step to it and do it, got nothing to lose except a little hope and pride right? I don't want anything from the guy, just some time, maybe a few laughs.
