Wretched

Wow, watching people live is like watching rats swipe cheese from the mesh of an electric fence.

Its amazing that there aren't more deaths in a day, when everyone on the roads this morning seemed hell-bent on trying to wreck themselves on each other. Three things all drivers need to remember when they are on Canada's roads:

1) The Speed Limit is the Posted Maximum, not a suggestion. If you are going 5 above the speed limit, you are going toooo fast.

2) A merge is for merging, not yielding. Accelerate WHEN MERGING! Repair shops love idiots who don't know how to merge, because they can charge lots of money to fix those unsightly fender benders. The converse is true. DON'T MERGE and a yield sign. If you try to, you'll threaten, hurt, or kill someone.

3) Cell-Phones, Tim Hortons Coffee, Makeup, and the Radio are not legitimate distractions in the car. Turn the phone off, put the coffee in the cup holder, ignore your hideous morning face, and just leave the radio off. There, problem solved (women claim they multi-task better than men... there is over a years worth of statistical data that says no matter how well you multi-task, you shouldn't do it while driving a car).

There, got that out of the way.

Now, for some real news:

Newspapers don't give real news. Have fun looking for a new and unique story in Canada's free press when all major newspapers share headlines, and just regurgitate story information. I see no reason why there even needs to be more than one newspaper, the object of the competition: namely the news, is no longer an exclusive item. Could I change that? Very likely, with a little practice. Would a newspaper print what I get?

As the old adage goes; only time will tell.
