Sorry Par, the correct answer would be 1/3 no junjou na kanjou sung by Siam Shade for the end song to Rurouni Kenshin tv series. Close but no cigar. You named everything except the band who actually sang the song. You would of won a Manipulative Order Build Industrial Labor SUIT. (MOBILE SUIT) Better luck next time.

    Underneath the blue sky, the wind blows towards the future
    As if to draw the rays of the sun into an embrace.
    I just let it push me around
    Leaving only my footprints behind.
    If I have the air to stroke my cheek
    And soft grass to fall down on
    I don’t need anything else.
    Sleeping with a contented smile I stare into tomorrow that stretches on endlessly.


    Where did I lose those days. Or did I lose them in the first place?

hey i wasn't disagreeing with you. i was just relating it to the post structualist argument of the Self being embedded in systems of knowledge. and besides that particular argument isn't a straightout rejection| of Trust No One as it is a scepticism of unconvinced certainty| how can i be certain of anything?

    "Lastly, Bullshit filters, Subjectivity and trust of Self. i won't go into it very much since it would take much too long, but the Post-structualist would argue that you Cannot even trust yourself."

    Dammit Eric... you didn't even read my posts. That's EXACTLY what I said 2 posts ago. Here's what I said:

    Well, if you agreed that the answer to "Who can you trust?" is "no one but yourself", then I'm completely and utterly disappointed. In my limited experience, the only answer to that question is "Trust no one; even and especially yourself."

eric, i think nader by that comment just meant dont let ur disgust of liberal mismanagement drive u into the arms of the conservatives, since by voting against the liberals u r essentially voting 'indirectly' for the fraser institute's plan for canada.... he wasnt saying vote for the party that has the best chance to beat the conservatives,whcih would have be similar to the startegy of voting for the guy who has the best chance to beat bush..... as for nader not mentioning the greens.... well the green party of america isnt even endorsing nader for president this time, theyve nominated their own candidate... it may also be a comment on the current direction of the green party in canada, as i happened to read in the papaer a while ago that many of the older members are unhappy with the new platform, and their former leader joan russow, who has since joined the ndp, slammed the party for veering to the right... as eric mentioned the other day, the greens are basically fiscally-conservative with an environmental bent... most of their policies for protecting the environment are purely voluntary on the part of corporations, since the greens would just revise corporate taxation rules to favour companies that are more "green".... gone are the strict governmental regulations that would force corporations to comply with environmental standards..... their leader, jim harris, is a former motivational speaker for corporations, that should speak volumes.... sure its nice to see that they champion environmental protection, but really how different are they from the ndp... they are a party that sold out most of their core values to make a move into the mainstream, and if theyre willing to sell out so easily now just imagine what they would do if they ever had a chance to grab some power..... the green party is morally bankrupt in my opinion

    The Green Party is like a watermelon - green on the outside and red on the inside.

I looked into it, Westmount has a showing of spiderman at 10:10pm tomorrow, which is what gets my vote. Failing that, Galaxy has shows at 9:45 and 10:40, and South Edmonton has shows at 9:45 10:15 and 10:45.

    as far as I know, it was Ralph Nader sending that letter. I got it through the Edmonton Small Press Association. It disappointed me too. I mean, really, the man ran as a Green, and said nothing of the Greens in his letter to Canadian voters. At least we've got the benefit that this election granted $1.75 per vote if the vote for a party was greater than 2% of the total votes cast. (Hooray for the Greens! over 4%!). But Ralph didn't say a single stinking word about the greens, or the other "other" parties. Maybe he's learned a lesson from his last presidential run, but I'd have hoped he wouldn't end up as cynical as all that. ... although it is good to be reminded of the evils of the Fraser Institute... I always forget... the fact that they're in BC makes me think they're a friendly lovable animal, and then someone shouts at me about their vehemently pro-capitalism stance and I start to remember...

    Well, anyway, maybe he was just trying to raise some alarmist ire amongst Canadians, to warn us of where we could end up (always good to hear somebody say), and to suggest we smarten up (or maybe he should've said Think Twice, Vote Once for all it was worth... probably made more people vote Liberal, or just stay home...).

    oh, speaking of elections, did anyone else experience the ease of voting that I did with those handy little cards they sent in the mail? No checking of ID or anything. Do you realize how easy it would be to defraud that system? Sure, the ballots are all pencil marks in circles, but if you stole a bunch of those voter cards and only had to present that, no ID, you could travel to EVERY polling station in the city and cast a vote... I think Al Capone said it best: vote early and vote often; perhaps the new mantra of the federal election... Even if mail theft is a federal offense, it'd be damn hard to track... all one day, all piles of paper, you'd just have to make sure your "victims" weren't going to vote anyway...
