I've been dragging a chain that's attached to something real heavy, but it's too much work to cut it loose so I'm learning to live with it.<br /><br />Not "up enough" lately to put too much thought into anything.

Your conclusion is correct.<br /><br />As a Christian, I have a strong commitment to living and working for compassion and justice — two sides of the same coin. This is what I have learned from studying the prophets of Israel, including Jesus (especially Jesus).<br /><br />The sad irony is that people who seek to live a simple life of compassion and justice in today's world, are, by their very nature, subversive. As was Jesus.<br /><br />Sadly, Dedine, I get to ride my Harley only in my dreams. <br /><br />® potsoc: Je me souviens l'Octobre, 1970. I think I still have a copy of the FLQ Manifesto in my files, somewhere. (Maybe CSIS will get me for that.) It was, as you say, "an interesting period."<br /><br />I also quit reading <i>Time</i> and <i>Newsweek</i> a long time ago. I still get <i>Maclean's</i> (yes, I'm patriotic and romantic). However I probably get most of my news from the CBC or Al Jazeera English, thought I find <i>The Globe and Mail</i> to be somewhat useful. (Maybe CSIS will get me for following Al Jazeera, too. This is not looking auspicious.)Rob-bearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00171692478879522588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1780769436411348454.post-43789574045388822282010-09-27T05:15:50.401-06:002010-09-27T05:15:50.401-06:00I must also have a file somwhere dating back to th...I must also have a file somwhere dating back to the 60s: I had a subscription to Soviet Union Today and to the Mouvement Planète (in France); I cancelled my subscription to Time Magazine over Vietnam telling them I considered they had become a mere C.I.A. propaganda machine.

But maybe.<br /><br />In the 1960s, when I was involved in student politics at University, the Security Service of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police opened a file on me. (Or so I was told by one of country's former Attorneys General). I was no hippie or yippie, but those were trying days, with the Viet Nam war and all (which drew strong protests in Canada, as well as the US). So I guess I am no stranger to subversive, though I'm actually very gentle in manner.Rob-bearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00171692478879522588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1780769436411348454.post-30265628018301025192010-09-26T19:06:54.561-06:002010-09-26T19:06:54.561-06:00I actually had to look up the word subversive to b...I actually had to look up the word subversive to be sure..lol...this should be interesting...ain't for city galshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14938751007704247232noreply@blogger.com
