This Warm War We're In

Wake up this morn or should I say didn't... 7 AM's too early to work for CAN $7.75/Hr. Who does dare paying their employee such a ridiculous amount? Volunteer work it is. And since I only give my time to serious matters... Who wants to be expoited? not me (made me feel thankful I still have the luxury to choose not to).. That was for my first & last time at a temp agency. I decided then to sleep until 2 pm and take a day off in this abnormally warm city. It took me awhile to understand that, in Montreal, winter time is all about being dressed accordingly... Therefore I look like an unattractive female from some Schoeneae tribe for the entire winter aka 8 months per year but yet I'm warm and happy. This hostile cold city has surprised me quite much lately. First of all, not everybody's listening to techno and hates America and Canadians (too many still do though).. but also I am Sweating under my « Arctic Yellowknife down-insulated made in Canada » coat. In this Christmassy time, Montreal is warm as hell... I should selfishly be excited by the facts but yet feel worried... reminds me of this « end of the world » feeling everybody had in the late 70's about some nuclear Soviet/American bomb destroying our planet. Cold War it was, Warm War we have now.. What have we done ? Why aren't we alarmed ? What are we doing? I'm Pissed off.. We are such arrogant/ignorant/territorial/in denial/short term thinking bastards. We use our power as cowards and create this precarious situation for our progeny. I sometimes have little hope in humankind..
