Rage Against The Dying Of The Light

Inspired by Dylan Thomas' Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night.



Laugh like the head of Apollo
Young and strong on the wings of tomorrow
Rise up in millions get off your knees
Dispelling the demons

In the valley of danger we all work together
Sculptures in sorrow with love light to follow
Sweet head of Apollo

Rage hard into the light, doing it right
Rage hard against the dark, make your mark
Let the tournament begin, don't give up and don't give in
Strength to rise up, strength to win
Stength the save the world from losing

Canadian Election Debate: Highlights

I missed the Canadian Federal Election Leaders' Debates, as I had other family commitments, but iPolitics.ca was kind enough to post this four-minute clip of the highlights on youTube. Watch at your peril. That is all.

The - No Corporate Tax Cuts, Old Man - Rap

I'm sorry, but this was too funny, so I just had to share it. This is from the 2011 Canadian Election debates (didn't know we were in the midst of an election, did you!). Corporate tax rates have recently dropped from 18% to 16.5%, under the Conservatives, and are scheduled to drop to 15% shortly. Anyways, enjoy!

The Trouble With Billionaires

One of my readers pointed me to a recently-published book on the great income inequality debate. Entitled The Trouble With Billionaires, that book explores the economic, social and political ramifications of the growing disparity between incomes of average Americans, and those of the super-wealthy. There are several reviews on the internet, that may be of interest. In addition to the ones cited in the comments to my earlier post, here is another one which may sufficiently pique your interest that you pick up and read that book.
