siamdave, we've already had a lovely exchange already, but with my mod hat on I would ask you to reflect on:
but because our ancestors built a very good country which has been stolen from us - and yes, our job is to take the country back and get the usurpers out of our government, but most of us do not see violent revolution as the means of doing that. At least yet.
*holds my head.Where to start?
Um, "our" ancestors? Who do you think reads babble? WASPs only? Come on! "built this country"? Really? Stole, yes. Built after stealing, pillaging and destroying, yes. You're making a lot of assumptions, siamdave.
Aside from that, your quote reads like the Tea Party's manifesto. And people wonder why folks of colour don't join the "organized" left in Canada.
- obviously you have even less idea of who I am or what I think than you accuse me of having of you. I have explained myself, my beliefs, my thoughts, how I got where I am, etc in great detail elsewhere (i.e. Green Island http://www.rudemacedon.ca/greenisland.html , What Happened? http://www.rudemacedon.ca/what-happened.html ) - is there anywhere your beliefs and understandings etc are written that a curious one could peruse? (you personally, not the writings of others ...)
I may or may not address the rest of what you say. it would take some time, but I'm not at all sure there would be any point - obviously your mind is made up, and facts aren't of any great importance. Tell me first, Maysie, if I can talk, or if I start saying stuff you don't want to hear you're going to pull on the mod hat and ban me for incorrect thought or something? Your positiion is somewhat less unassailable than you seem to think...
