CPM: Civil Unrest

Day 692, 13:07 Published in Canada Canada by Addy Lawrence

My computer is still in the shop, no numbers from Addy today, an editorial will have to do.

Wow, what a crazy week this has been. The absence of war has sent things into quite a tizzy and I have seen this through three pairs of eyes.

As a citizen, I'm frustrated. Why are we spending more and more money on hospitals when we still haven't erected any Defence Systems? Even more importantly, why aren't we actively pursuing the liberation of our remaining territorities? I hear nothing on these fronts.

As a business owner (CBA: Grain) I am frustrated. Finding employees is very tough unless you overpay for the positions. Generating sales is very tough unless you cut your margins to nearly nil. To top it off, my employees are asking to be fired so that they can participate in war games with the CAF in India, INDIA!!! Think about it. My labour costs include taxes paid by my employees to the government. My grain is used by food companies with employees whose taxes go to the government. The food is taxed at 1% upon sale and that goes to the government. The government then outfits members of the CAF, whom business owners like me employ, with tickets and guns to go on a training mission on another continent while territories like ours remain in enemy hands, enemy hands who are DIGGING IN to these territories with Hospitals and Defence Systems. Am I missing something? Our tax dollars are also going to a hospital in Nova Scotia, all things being equal a worthy cause, but things are not equal, territories are in other hands.

As a member of Bruck's Canucks, I am frustrated. We are an army, ready and willing, with no wars to fight. There are causes out there, the liberation of our territories the highest prioritiy of all, but there is no action. We are capable of delivering 17,500 damage ourselves yet we are not treated as such by the government, nor the CAF.

I'm sure that I am not in the loop on several things and I'm going to receive comments to this article to that effect, so be it, I look forward to the education.

In the meantime, I'm anxious about getting my computer back!!! Perhaps this is magnifying the anxiety I have over the above mentioned issues.

Who's your daddy? Addy's your daddy!!!
