I Can't Believe It's a Law Firm!

Inspired by this, it occurred to me today how surprised I am that we don't just hire out child hitmen (ahem, hitpersons) to do our criminal bidding. Keeps the kids busy, their cell phone bills paid, and at no expense to their reputations! We wouldn't want to mar the names of our little future-shapers, would we?

If there is any conservative bone in my body, this one is it. The Youth Criminal Justice Act is a disgrace to Canada. When I was four years old, I knew that whether it was stealing candy, hurting someone else, or shooting them in the head, it was without a shadow of doubt wrong. If some idiotic 15 year old can't figure that out, why do we want him/her an active part of society?

While adult crime has somehow declined since the early 1990s, youth crime has remained stable and violent youth crime is actually on the rise. The actual and effective rehabilitation of these young criminals (if and when possible) is something this country needs to consider, a hell of a lot more than it needs to consider throwing these kids back on the street to keep incarceration to a minimum.

Apocolypse Eventually!

Well! Let me tell you. It's my sister's 23rd birthday today. Hope she's both having a blast and over the flu today.

Setting the clocks back has ruined us all. I think I've heard every single person I've talked to this week complain that they are tired, and right now I'd have to agree with them. Napping my 4 hour break between shifts away sounds pretty good right now. Except that there's only 2 hours left by now. At any rate... sleep!

Testing

Gonna do something new here to try and keep the blog rolling.

Most interesting text I sent today:

Smells like cabbage and cigars in the hallway.

Ooh, this is getting good.

November!

All the leaves are almost gone. What the hell! Oh right, it's almost winter. Thinking of scrapping the blog. Turns out there's not much to say bloggy-style when you're the furthest from miserable that you've ever been. Imagine!

Here are some things I find funny today:

• Extended MSN names that explain how the person is feeling through lyrics, quotations, or a jumble of obscenities and punctuation marks
• Cats when they hide their legs under their bodies and put their head flat on the bed to sleep; they look like fuzzy caterpillars!
• This horrible guy's laughter on Jon Stewart

The COGwheel thing is back. Go check it out. Those boys are silly.
