Wow, I got a link to this video in an email from my parents. And generally, things my dad forwards on to me are sometimes rather… well… questionable. But, the tone of the email intrigued me. Here is what it said:
Hi everyone,
My cousin **** sent this to me. He lives in Edmonton, Alberta and is quite politically involved there. I took the time to watch this video and decided it was important enough to pass on. I think the message and issue is too complicated for nine minutes and big jumps and assumptions are taken but it’s certainly another perspective to listen to. Perhaps its oversimplification is the whole point! Greetings to all, ****
Now, my father wasn’t the original author of the email but I knew the person who had sent it to him and know her to be a smart, discerning woman. And she wouldn’t send something like this on without thinking it was truly worth watching. I guess that’s a long winded explanation for why I clicked the link in the first place.
It’s true, this video is an oversimplification of a HUGE problem. But I had to admit the guy made a good point. It’s all about which lottery ticket you feel safer buying. I know which one I want to invest in. How about you?
This is me. I'm a thirtysomething stay at home mom to three kids. For years I was a stay at home mom to one kid and trying very hard to have more. It took a LONG time (ie: 6 1/2 years), but finally Liam arrived and charmed us with his blue eyes and ginormous, round head. Then we got a shock: I was pregnant again and this time it was a GIRL. Our hearts and home are full at last and now that we're done having babies, we get to relax (snort) and watch them grow (not too fast now, you hear?). Thanks for coming by, feel free to dip into my archives, read my About and History pages (just don't do Jackson's Story without tissues!) and make yourself at home.
