So, today is election day in Canada. I really have only a few things to say. First, we are so blessed to live in democracy, but that also means allowing other people to think differently from you. So, before the political slandering begins, let us make good arguments instead of bashing each other for being "wrong". That said, let's all think with our heads and hearts instead of our wallets. Secondly, Osama was murdered yesterday. Yes, murdered. And like in any good western, everyone cheers when the "bad guy" is killed. But, I ask you, is murder ok in any circumstance? Did he not deserve a trial?
I am torn today, and my head is full of questions. With privilage comes responsibility, but is that responsibility to kill another human being? It's revenge, not justice as a lovely friend of mine pointed out this morning. Revenge is never thoughtful, never fully considered. I am concerned about our world, as ever. I am just happy that today I was given the privilage to vote.
