Day of the Death of Beautiful B.C. (again) -The Best Place on Earth for Neo-Con Swine

Well, if May 5th was the day of the dead, today is the day of the slow and painful death of the province of B.C. as we know it.... or maybe it will be quicker than we think. The Liberals will not likely waste time selling off our rivers, forests, healthcare, universities, parks, social programs and whatever else they can or can't get away with.

I have a confession now. When the Obama/ McCain election was happening, like a lot of liberal minded people and even some conservative minded people, I really, really wanted Obama to win. So that night - I, an atheist since age 11, said a little prayer. I reverted back to the format I used as a child when trying to manipulate God into coercing Santa Claus into getting me a Princess Pony for Christmas or making sure my Grandpa got into heaven and when he was there, making sure he took good care of my dog (even then it was all about politics). Fingers clasped I said in my head "Dear God, if you make Obama win, I promise I will give you a fair chance. I might even go to church... I will try my hardest to give faith another shot." Then Obama won and I was stuck with this promise to someone that I don't even believe exists.

It seems kind of ridiculous but part of me felt my integrity would be compromised if I didn't try. So I tried a little and I failed. Then last night, out of desperation I tried again. But as the poll results have been broadcast and Gordon Campbell 's jowly, piggish face is again the face of BC, I feel justified in no longer trying. So I will be taking this rainy day to mourn my loss of faith (again), along with the impending loss of hundreds of Grizzly Bears, wolves, seabirds, salmon, marine mammals, songbirds, arts and education funding, etc., etc.
