Pain and Politics



Wed. Sept. 16/09 0930 I took a short walk along the beach and discovered cougar and dear tracks , I will keep my eyes open from now on although it would be interesting to see a wild cougar up close ,might as well live dangerously now. Thurs. Sept. 17/09 What a difference 36hrs makes. I think that I am losing the use of my legs , the Dr’s said that this could happen when the Cancer reaches other parts of my body. Tried some opiate analgesic or the first time as the pain had become unbearable , the pills just made me feel even more lethargic than I already feel and does nothing for the pain . 1345 The song of the day is “Heatwave” by Martha Reeves and the Vandellas . Could use listening to something upbeat today . Thank God for Berry Gordy Jr. and Motown . I also worked for a while on a assembly line at Ford Motor Co. . I would like to write some political commentaries but I am in so much physical pain today that I find it to difficult to concentrate. I have aways maintained that there is a good number of average Joe's with very astute political views and a good handle on what is taking place in the world. Journalism that is presented by the major media outlets is dead , most of the news that is presented is no more that opinionated propaganda . There are a few bright spots (such as Neil Macdonald with the cbc) but I am sure that the few journalists with some degree of integrity soon get stifled by the organizations that they are working for. At least the situation in Canada is not as bad as in the USA where the news outlets are no better than slick propaganda machines that would have made Stalin proud , one only has to look at how the American journalists lapped up the lies about WMD to realize this.
