"Born to be slaves"...yup, that is the reality of the folks occupying the Western "Canuckistan" for the last 115 years. And yes, Albertans are probably the stupidest people in this confederation of fools. It is truly strange for the casual observer who would bother to read the actual history of this dysfunctional country. No matter how much they get abused by the Eastern establishment, they return for more, as long as life is reasonably acceptable and Ottawa throw some crumbs to them. Every time hard times visit, Alberta folks get all upset, twisted into pretzels, start another "separatist" movement only to fizzle into the garbage bin of history due to the total inability to figure out what it is they actually want to accomplish. They tend to elect leaders who could be at best qualified as power hungry malignant narcissists with serious ambitions but not a clue how to get there, or well meaning but lost-to-reality fools. Of course we cannot blame only them, for in the insanity of democracy people always get the leader they deserve, since the population is, besides a very few, thoroughly socialist and rather poorly educated about the realities of life. Being "politically correct" is not the reality. Hence they always vote for big government to deliver all those fine "goodies" for the money of their neighbour. That is the sad reality of the majority of people in this formerly fine Dominion of Canada. They do not realize that politics is the price of their daily bread. Politics is simply life. One ignores it to his own detriment. One day, "Johnny Ignoramus" will inevitably wake up only to realize that his province/country is not what it used to be... and he sure does not like it. That is the high price of ignorance. That also might be the time he will learn the hard way the simple lesson from history which tells us rather clearly that the freaks possessing a very militant ideology and no moral standards whatsoever are immensely dangerous to any decent man, to any society. That, my dear readers (I hope for at least two), is the reason why we are living in the "Age of Stupid," a full blown "IDIOCRACY." That is why we are ruled by a bunch of mental midgets. It is truly high time to ask: How did we get here? Is there a solution to this "inconvenience"? Yes, there is, but most will not like, it for they wish for solutions with no speck of pain to be experienced. At this stage that is plainly impossible. Unfortunately, not fixing the problem at hand will quickly and inevitably turn into catastrophe. There is no real fix possible without facing reality, also known as the Truth.
