Damnit. Yet another 'sport fever', another instance of social cohesion, another flag-like item for the general populace to rally behind. Something big, loud, and ultimately meaningless to take our attention away from something of considerable importance, something our Uber-Meisters don't want us putting any thought into. What could it be? Could it have something to do with the proposal to shut down the only safe injection site in the country? The one that has proven it's worth to society by very noticeably reducing the number of deaths and spread of disease? Could it be our Homeless situation? The fact that funding for shelters has yet again been pulled, diverted, and probably miss-spent on some idiotic plan to pull everyone together in a false sense of security? I do know what it CAN'T be, and that's the upcoming 'Royal Wedding' - there's nothing that can draw attention from a joke of that fucking magnitude! The situation in England, much like the situation here, cannot be fixed by allowing the population to escape the trials and tribulations of their mundane little lives by sharing in the pomp and pageantry of a multi-million dollar circus designed to showcase a couple of lesser players in a hopelessly outdated and ineffectual figurehead monarchy. I have now pissed myself off so much that I must stop my current rant in favor of doing something more constructive, like forming a hunting party to go after anyone with a hockey jersey or commemorative 'Royals' plate, and beat them into a fine pulp, which we could then use as fertilizer for weeds and such.

Be safe.
