The Truth Is More Important Than The Facts

well tonight was interesting. practice in osler for some thing at a camp next weekend that has me travelling 2 hours for a 1 hour gig. i'm not sure about that.

then off to jordy and aimee's place for a "house warming" party. basically we acted like asses for an hour or two. then i had a very interesting and enjoyable converstaion with a yound lady from Colorado. Brittany (i believe thats right) is from a republican military family and is going to Briercrest this year. to say that we had slightly differing opinions on world politics and events is an understatement. but it was quite enjoyable. i found that talking to a real american with apposing views made me sift through my beliefs and find the ones that were factual and sensitive instead of simply opinion and critical distaste. especially seeing the look in her eyes when she talked about her brothers in the military that are over there. heartbreaking. these families don't deserve this. they shouldn't pay this cost for simply having faith in their country.

ps; loud mouth canadian right wingers have their heads up their collective asses, i learned more tonight about the real faces of the victims on this side of the ocean than anywhere else. and to say that it's an easy decision to put families through that because "it's the right thing" is insane.

pss; the thumb's getting better, the index finger is finging again.
