Small Game Count

I have never really developed any abstract thinking skills of note. Neither, it appears, has Flaherty and company, proroguing the numbers, so the real story is overshadowed by the small game count. So much for transparency - cuts to existing programs euphemistically called "freeze" and "review," will not be blind cuts. Rather, the erosion of principles of inclusion, and human rights will continue, untransparently, as outcome based spending is diverted to the deficit and the directed handouts called economic recovery. So here's me and my ilk, gathering nuts and berries, not putting anyone out of business, not torturing, and hoping the boomers don't turn us into soylent green by shortsighted decisions and favours to friend & tribe.
