four/five things worth thought today

1- taliban who spray young girls with acid to keep them from going to school. imagine persecution on two levels; one being female and one wanting education. needless to say the school was empty today.terrorism calculated and effective. fuk we are lucky. imaging being afraid to send your kids to school?
2 - vanoc gets 140k requests for the mens gold hockey game tickets. not bad but there are actually only 4k seats. Olympics for the people who can and will pay. i got a problem there.
3 - kids today can die for the right to play addictive computer games. the young lad who ran away from home b/c his parents denied him the right to play. interesting; they had condoned the behaviour for so long that the attempt at intervention resulted in his death. a reminder that nothing replaces the one on one interaction with kids. and ultimately what you permit your promote
4- painkillers and red wine together are the only ways to handle the pain of an accident of the heart. no, really, i just wiped out running in the morning on a wet street..but it does help both pains.
5 - ok one more thing- a dog in the whitehouse gets more press than the first three things on this list- momentary lapse into awareness in-fuk-n-deed!
