Whereas the cut, pasting and posting of my real first and last name on message boards along with my email address and letters may create a sense of hardship on me personally, in the end, it's really not my problem if other people choose to do what they will with my emails.
But it also does create a situation where I may be less prone to use my real name.
What else can I do? What would you do? Are you me? Have you ever had personal details of your life made public without your expressed written permission?
Other people new to this country may not understand or appreciate this but may be in for a rude awakening if they cant truly accept our sense of fair play towards our own citizens. As a first nations member at least that is what I hoped.
The Truth and Reconciliation Commission in Canada is something I look forward to happening in Western Canada, and while I appreciate the denizens of comebackalive may not have appreciated the awareness about these historical events that I was bringing to the board, as someone who felt personally affected by it, it was something I found difficult to restrain my self from doing.
But show me one person who thinks I deserve to have my private matters showcased on message boards like that and I will show you someone who does so with the benefit of anonymity.
And as such not a real trust in their own opinion.
Although I watched the Prime Ministers apology live just two years ago, I am yet to hear from, meet, or talk with anyone who can honestly sympathize or commiserate with the negative impact this legacy has imprinted upon my life.
Whereas 'truth' might be a word that generates initial enthusiasm, I find it difficult to believe that everyday Canadians would find it so hard to contemplate for a few seconds what the 'reconciliation' aspect portion of the equation means for the people who have been thrown into these situations that are not of our own creation.
If the owners of that message board had agreed to themselves that I am due any special consideration or respect based on that, they would have certainly removed the offending emails long ago.
I am sure they must be smiling to themselves quite self-satisfactorily.
I have no false sense of pride. Theres no regal bearing in me for descending from someone sent to a residential school, in addition to the painful seperation from parents, to merely say 'treated badly' is a vast understaement.
I have no illusions regarding the facts that my mother, her brothers and sisters, were exposed to the most generally shocking, and most dangerous living conditions in Canada.
I think if people wanted to show they were more generally genuinely concerned about the cultural protocol in general and unafraid to speak about it, our sense of happiness would be self-evident.
What is it that people expect?
Do they want an apology from me?
Heres a YouTube sampling of Greensleeves just in case you want to don the headphones while reading the next story.

Rumoured to have had an affair with this man.
I thought that was funny-funny. Well you know, slightly comical. Pretty popular with the ladies are you?-lol
I like Kylie.
I think shes funny.
and cute while driving.
I recall watching the video on TV at 6:30 AM one morning about nine years ago but for some reason dont really like watching it online.
At all.
Much anyway. Must be 'ahhh-hh the memories... '

Oh, and to make a buck too.
And needless to say I do not want to hear you whining about me publishing your e-mail. I did not publish the kajillion e-mails you sent me before but once it is in my inbox, its mine..and I will do with it as I please. "
The key thing to remember is that I never even wrote any letter for the purpose of your enjoyment, let alone the worlds.
Few people would diagree the proper thing to do is either politely dispose of it in a delete recycle fashion (same as you would) or make a response with the "Reply" button.
But challenging someone on a public message board while denying them a fair chance to reply seems its plausible to suggest that your sole intent was to libel while making a mockery of human rights.
The same as I would be by suggesting you leave a comment for all below (while knowing I have the 'Allow Comments' feature tweaked to : "OFF")
Being petty and self-centered are not good enough causes for libel,harrasement . You can ASSERT your right to publish emails as you please ; without a doubt. But your mere assertion of that as a fact (I will jaywalk on the street today as I please) doesnt make your assertion stand without consequence anymore than mine would be if I dared to test an officers skill in jaywalking in front of him/her.
Bottom line is your casual deference from my assertions were killed dead in the water the minute you decided to violate your own Terms of Service.
So understand this: I really dont care if you violate your own TOS.
But why did you just not say the same words in a return email rather than risk violating the sanctity of principle of your own TOS?
Doesnt that mean you intended to cause harm and inflict malice?
Im waiting.

Forest is burning near enough to my locale to make the air feel a touch heavy, the hint of soot, and dark clouds spot blotch the far horizon. When the view from the sun was obstructed at sunset, the smoke filtering mixed with the pictureesque sunset caused an almost eerie effect. The sun visible in outline like a huge red-orange orb behind the single stream of mixed clouds and smoke. O
Well.
Heres to the endless winding road and the yearning for new horizons.

Posting a sticky note to my blog

....with a note to self: blogging/writing can be an expensive time consuming endeavor and while may seem like a good way to boost creativity, can actually have a reverse affect of sapping it in other areas of life that may be in more dire need a creative influx more than the Internets web.
As far as I know , there is NO BOOK or self-starter guide called/entitled
"How to Live Your Life Creatively"
Not even for dummies. But there is a web site

"Why We Lie is a wide ranging discussion of the uses of dishonesty in public and private life, a polemic that includes Rowe's views on climate change and the global credit crisis, seems like her answer to some of the world's problems.
Psychology, for Rowe, is the science of living in the real world, and she has thrown off all caution to declare what she believes to be the truth about everything."

Fascinating stuff. Her new book is "a tale of survival"
Great little story today in the paper about a Vietnamese refugee who overcame enormous odds to attain a Masters Degree in Psychology.
As a child, I remember the "boat people"; as they were patly named, both from television news reports and smiling faces in this community of Prince George many years ago.
Saying Hello to us was a experience shrouded in bubbling over joy.
Even with the weather as nice at is, it's good to start with a daily dose of inspiration .....
