Yes, J_B, you are right. We do not have a conservative Christian coalition trying to rewrite the laws of Canada. We have many other things, like the RCMP wearing turbins and many other multi cultural causes of change. For the most part, these things are accepted, or at least tolerated, by the majority. Everybody gets along pretty well.
Do all Canadians know the secret answers you are keeping from us just to be merciful?
"Look out kid,they keep it all hid."
Bob Dylan.
Well, you walk into the room
Like a camel and then you frown
You put your eyes in your pocket
And your nose on the ground
There ought to be a law
Against you comin' around
You should be made
To wear earphones
It's strange Edgar -- I know something's happening here, but I don't know what it is.
A feeling of deja vu, Thomas?
Oh God said to Abraham, "Kill me a son"
Abe says, "Man, you must be puttin' me on"
God say, "No." Abe say, "What?"
God say, "You can do what you want Abe, but
The next time you see me comin' you better run"
Well Abe says, "Where do you want this killin' done?"
God says, "Out on Highway 61."
I'm sure we will see it, Set...
Oh, can't you see that she's mine
We've been together for a long long time
And yet they try so very hard to pull us apart

We've most definitely got a right-wing Christian coalition trying to make a go of it here in Canada. They are trying to apply the lessons learned in the U.S. here. There's a chance they'll increase their parliamentary standing in the next election. It frightens me. Enough so that I've stopped being polite, and stepping around it, IRL.
Gee!Can you believe it?Atheists quoting Dylan.Incredible.
In Reich's Little Man Little Man he addresses Mr Jones.Of course that's a closed book just like Dylan's stuff is completely outside your ken.
You have a problem with anything you don't know about.When you quote Dylan you ought to know what his words refer to.Otherwise you denigrate the man.
"Precious angel,under the sun,
How was I to know you'd be the one
To show me I was blinded,to show me I was gone
How weak was the foundation I was standing upon."
I'll add a couple more books to that short list I gave out earlier.Shakespeare and the Goddess of Complete Being by Ted Hughes a poet Laureate and The White Goddess by Robert Graves.

Well, you gotta serve somebody.
When Sainte-Beuve suggested to Flaubert that he ought to have considered "the French reader" before including certain passages in Madame Bovary he did so with these words-
""the French reader,who is born malicious and injects his malice into anything within his reach."
You're a self satisfied, vain man. Pompous. Summing up one's essence from a couple of threads on able2know. Supposedly.

Now, with TiVu, you can back up and revisit the really good parts all you want, and you can skip right past the commercials, too. You can even set it to record your recurring favorites on a schedule, or to look for things you're sure to appreciate. Modern life is wunnerful, ain't it?
It sure is timber.Fantastic.

You haven't seen me use "hehehe".
