Tidbits
Two little tidbits here:
The first is Overrated 100 List from Radar Magazine . Topping the list are David and Victoria Beckham. David is dismissed as "an overpaid soccer star, and his wife is labelled a "pointless collection of body parts".
I love it.
The second comes from a report released yesterday. The report, based on analysis of Statistics Canada's income data, identifies Ontario as being the worst place in Canada for child poverty. 44% of the country's poor children live in this province.
Since we have the largest population of the provinces, with Toronto being home to half the population of the entire province, it is not surprising that Ontario should take this shameful first place. What is sadly surprising is that there should be any child living in conditions of poverty here in one of the world's richest countries.
When will our society acknowledge this shame and begin to so something about it?

2nd one: that's Canada's shame ... Canadians shame ... that we allow poverty to continue in our rich and socially responsible country.
1st one: that's the western world's shame, that huge rewards and adulation is heaped on pointless drivel and their pointless accomplishments.
