The Big Bang
Posted on | August 28, 2008
There were messages from friends on the Sunday asking if I was OK. I had to chuckle because I was far from the blast but I was grateful for their concern.
So, a propane explosion in Toronto takes place and while the devastation could have been worse (two died - not wanting to say JUST two but you get the idea.)
Houses were crumbled, windows smashed out, foundations cracked and those affected, I’m sure thought either Terrorist attack, plane crash, end of the world.
It happened after three a.m. and there is a plethora of footage.
Now you might want to ask yourself why on earth, in a major metropolis, would they have a company that sells, distributes and even disregards the law in a neighbourhood.
Council members make $95,000.00.
Yes, that’s right…95 thousand dollars.
I don’t care WHO you are. That’s an obscene amount of money.
And they’d given them a raise that will take place over the next couple of years.
How do I get me some of ‘dat?
Now the mayor of Toronto, a man I voted for1 brings home a gut wrenchingly, over stuffed and staggering $160,000.00.
I’m sorry, forgive that there was a pause. I was choking on yesterday’s meal. So, $160…
Oh wait, no sorry, here comes the bile again.
Excuse me.
OK, toilet flushed now I may resume?
So, part of Toronto explodes, business are yelling, home owners are yelling, and me not being DIRECTLY affected; well I am affected because the local Politicians2 pass the relay stick to the Provincial whack jobs who then scoot it to the Federal who then, with a glance to the left, pass it back to the Local.
I have a headache.
I mean REALLY!
Politicians make TOO much money. They do.
And it needs to be addressed.
Being a politician is like being a Teacher or Priest.
It’s a calling.
I’d get wet for THAT pay cheque.
I would.
I’d need a tissue for my pants on almost a daily basis. And the kicker is, even the ones who you think are decent and honest have spin doctor’s.
My Mother, wise Lady3 that she is used to say. “Politicians get into the business for the RIGHT reasons but STAY in it for the wrong ones.
And that’s true. They do.
Years and years ago, I knew a woman who was a city counselor. I remember being around for the “INSERT NAME HERE”4 for Mayor” crap.
And when it was PAINFULLY obvious that she wouldn’t win and the bottom feeders that she’d promised would get her place on council she back tracked. I could swear I heard the beeping of reversing Trucks.
So, will the politicians who allowed a propane facility to be put within a ten kilometer radius of homes, schools (and is there a hospital there? I’m not sure) have to pay for their responsibility? I seriously doubt it.
Will they have to pay up? Will they become the sacrificial lamb that we can offer up to the Gods? Or will they, which is what they are doing; blaming the other guy?
All I know is I’m paying more and more and getting less and less. I’m just so frustrated.
So, show your displeasure with your local counselor and don’t vote for them again. I know I’m up to my neck in their bullshit.
But the end result is the scum sucking Lawyers5 circling the homeowners; the people who feel slighted, scared and lost, whispering 900 million dollars.
I can see them. Whispering like Salieri’s Venticello’s.
VENTICELLO 1: They say.
VENTICELLO 2: I hear.
VENTICELLO 1: I hear.
VENTICELLO 2: They say.
VENTICELLO 1 & 2: I don’t believe it.
Whisperers: Salieri!
There are scum in the world and then there are scum.
Politicians are bad enough…but Lawyers? Eesh.
Wait, I shouldn’t say anything. They might sue. “And this time, IT’S PERSONAL!”
Who said, “Kill all the Lawyers.”? Can you remember? I can’t. I just know that they salivate at this kind of community of “wrong-doned” that are greasing up the sides of their mouths at a pay day that will set them for life.
Where are the pro-bono cases that they SHOULD be flocking too. You know, the Mother losing their child to a pedophile. Looking the other way when they see she makes 18 thou a year.
OK, enough of a rant.
Politicians are lying scum bags who shouldn’t necessarily be shot at dawn but there’s a scene from the Simpson’s. It involves Homer, a cat and a Cop6 and a catapult.
You do the math.
