I think it's time (way past time) to give profound thanks to all those incredibly courageous people who are keeping the flame of freedom and democracy burning bright.
In Canada, right now, it is burning hottest and brightest in Montreal where the students - and so many thousands who support them, are banging pots and pans and marching and protesting horrible injustices and the beginnings of what can only be called a police state.
I am grateful to the Occupy Movement and I'm grateful that it is alive and evolving.
There are people who hold the freedoms granted us in the Charter of Rights and Freedoms as sacred and who are on guard for all of us. The majority of us may not be marching or making a whole lot of noise, but I know with utter certainty that when the times comes for us to be heard we will be very loud indeed.
On another note (but similar) I just finished reading The Hunger Games trilogy - if you have read it and think how horrible it is in that made-up future that people send their children into an arena where they kill each other, then I suggest you open your eyes.
This is not the future - it is happening right now and has been forever - or what do you think war is?
