Yes Virginia, there *is* a way to unsmug a Canadian, and the Toronto Star has discovered it, rot their pointed heads. One could always leave comments on the Star's webpage articles but in the olden days (last week) you had to click to read them. Now the webpage features a whole column of them up near the top, well before the financial news even. The amount of Dumb, agonizingly illiterate makes-the-fanpoodles-look-like-Ph.ds-Dumb, that sits there screaming at me has broken my spirit. Where can one move to when Canadians come off as ignorant partisan bigots?

The coup de grace was delivered by the latest WARD arriving today. 'The bathroom lightbulb's burned out... How far'd I get in that book...?' Annghh. And she had him die alone, with no admiring dragon king by. As there ought to have been, according to the die-hard 'Hakuryuu is Goujun' fanpoodle in this corner.

*hugs for the idiocy* - news does bring out the worst, on the spot reactions from people sometimes. Laugh! Soemtimes there's no help for it but laugh ... uhmmm Japan???

I have my Ward sitting on the table and it is daring me to go and have a read... which I have quite succesfully avoided. I just don't want to be too sad ...which of course makes me sound really silly. But can't be doing with the sad at the moment. *sigh*

It's kind of sweetly melancholy and, as people have pointed out, very karmic in terms of his future career. It's also indicative of some quite fundamental difference between the two men. Kenren, the guy who was all 'Don't you just hate it when you want to kill something and *can't*?', goes out refusing to kill: almost on a note of self-sacrifice: 'If you're hungry, eat. But go on living.' Tenpou-- mh, well. But Mother always did love Kenren best.
