Canadian Prime Minister "Stephen Harper is poised to trigger an election call for Oct. 14, senior officials in the Prime Minister's Office said Friday. The officials said no firm decision has been made, but that it's probable Harper will seek to dissolve his minority government next week, sending the country to the ballot box the day after Thanksgiving."

I am Zen, not religious but I just thought this is definately something we all should be "THANKFUL" for an election. It is about time.

This appeared in the Japanese Chinese newspaper last month take a look at the picture below it shows the evolution of human beings from the monkey to present day working on the computer notice that the monkey's back is crouched and the man sitting in front of the computer is the same note that the man in the middle is the only one standing straight! And he is holding a spear! So that tells us when we were at that stage in evolution that we were at our healthiest peak? The headline does not say much about the crouching back syndrome but I like my theory better...
