As I was saying...doesn't it disturb you how many hands are truly in our pockets? It's a wonder there's any room in there to keep spare change...and it's an even greater wonder if there is any change to spare! Now you can add cable and satellite companies to the growing list of government or corporate entities that are taking us to the cleaners! Imagine the local broadcasters(who in my humble opinion do an exceptional job, citing out CTV(esp. both news casts) as the best in their field; not charging the cable and satellite companies a cent to broadcast their programmes. However our cable bills have gone up 4x the amount of inflation in that time! The audacity of the cable companies trying to pass that cost on to us, instead of rightfully paying the broadcasters in order to keep their quality programming on the air. It's incredible how at a time when people have to pull their children out of universities, are foreclosing on their homes, have no family income, for both parents lost their jobs! No more soccer games, tennis tournaments, nor ballet, hip-hop or tap, and well let's just say that vacations are luxuries of the past! For others worse yet, there is no food to put on the tables, in the lunches, no morning breakfeast to trigger their childrens metabolism nor feed their brains with the necessary nutrients to optimize learning. But the RECORD BREAKING PROFIT cable companies want you to pay more on your bill so that they can keep rolling in the green they so seriously worship and keep paying nothing for the services our broadcasters have rendered free to them! DOESN'T IT DISTURB YOU? Well there is something you CAN do, link on to this address localtvmatters.ca for more info.

Remember This

ALL IT TAKES FOR EVIL TO SUCCEED

IS FOR A GOOD MAN TO DO NOTHING

CHOOSE TO BE A MAN(WOMAN) WHO ALWAYS DOES SOMETHING!

I'd like to take this time to wish you and all your families a blessed Thanksgiving and not to forget that the despite the many hardships,sorrow and trauma that LIFE challenges us constantly with, we all have something(someone) to be grateful for- if you are having a hard time feeling grateful when everything is wrong, even disastorous, find that which brings the LOVE AND GRATITUDE out of you and focus only on those matters/PEOPLE and before you know it, you will begin to NOTICE MORE THINGS YOU ARE TRULLY GRATEFUL FOR, perhaps even a few you never noticed before.......like your very old neighbour across the street, riddled with osteoporosis and in obvious pain, taking her daily walk, which no matter what the weather, she is out there and she is grateful!

With Respect and God Bless,
