So you gonna vote? Spoiler Alert!  There are no  (more) nude women in this post! Its just that the NDP need help so thought I'd draw more of an audience to my humble blog of course the honorable folks in the NDP would never stoop to the lowest rung like yours truly, maybe they should. When you consider my roots are in Saskatchewan you'd think I would be all over the NDP and until the Green Party I did. Hey  I do like NDP policies and in the pack of wolves who are vying to be top dog in Alberta the NDP are the only ones who field a leader who has a degree in Political Science, more ironic than anything of substance. Truly I find the fact he was an Edmonton city bus driver for many years to be of more interest and IMO of more value to the electorate. New Democrats have pretty much always been third or forth in the popular vote in this province and while we do not have huge numbers of union members you'd think they'd do better than they do.

What intrigues me is the comparison of this story and the real life story of Joan of Arc. This is where things come together! I happened to be visiting my friend Diane, a wonderful French Canadian woman, on her TV was a movie called "The Messenger". At firs...

So this yet another piece of thread that unwound (funny how the word wound can mean 2 things with a totally different sound, see another thought off of a thought which came from.............come to think this body of mine was created from a thought.....oh crap!) You can see why it takes so long to make a post sometimes!  It is the way my thought process goes its like my thoughts are not arranged in a well ordered grid, I'm not methodical. My thoughts if charted would look  like a winding (another one of "those" words) boulevard snaking through the streets and avenues of information sometimes connecting to neighboring sections sometimes forming an overpass from one neighborhood to another going over yet others that are irrelevant to my apparent destination. OK! Back to the original post. We are so used to Money . The whole concept of currency is unquestioned by most and thought about by very few. We tend to believe that it's what makes the world go around...
