So last week I was sitting in Jamilla's Pizzeria--a little diner around the corner from the office I work at--having lunch and reading the paper. The radio was tuned to some adult contemporary, easy-listening station playing typically inoffensive mix music.
Just as I was about to dig in to my 'za, I heard Jann Arden's voice.
Immediately, I thought of something I heard David Suzuki say to an interviewer on the GASCD compilation: (I'm paraphrasing) "There's nothing inherently wrong with globalization, but why aren't we globalizing the right things? Why aren't we globalizing labour standards and environmental standards? Why aren't we globalizing education" etc.
Next up on the station: Nickelback. (Do they have a new song about God or something? The chorus had a lot of Amens. Are they trying to fill the Christian-sludge-rock void left by Creed?)
Anyway, a thought I had. This thing is for my thoughts, right?
A proper introduction still to come!

ps - The song was "Insensitive." Maybe if it was "Good Mother" I wouldn't be so peeved.
