Great post. And very moving ...hi Scott...Brilliant. Great post. And very moving too. I didn't know you had been through such a hard time, and I'm glad you are moving beyond it. I remember my six months of unemployment just after I left university, and how it felt. People talk about the unemployed as if they are just numbers, think only of money, and forget how psychologically devastating it can be.<br />These days I still remember having to deal with the bureaucrats in Quebec City, and their insufferable arrogance. Which is just one more reason I hate that town, and always will. I also understand why you might have been feeling a little grumpy. ;)<br />I'm afraid I might lose my job soon, so I am not in the best of spirits either. But I do know that we must never give up trying to make this world a better place, because we need change so badly. And although as I said in my post I don't know where this movement is going, I know that it's better than just accepting things the way they are, as so many in English Canada seem to be doing.<br />Agitation may be disturbing and stressful but I'm pretty sure that what we are seeing in Quebec is the shape of things to come all over the world. So although I also crave social peace, I know it will only come after we change this predatory system, and make a better world. So bring it on. All the best to you and your kids, and may your future be a happy one...Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15309809679331128837noreply@blogger.com
