Darkness, Sharia Health Care System, and Politics

I woke up to the darkness and prayed.  It was early morning.  I prayed some more.  Morning prayers stop the deluge of demands waiting at the door to terrify me.  I’ve a routine.  I get up. I put on the coffee. I learned from that patient.  Asking him to describe his day, he said.
“I look at the window and if there are no bars, I make my own coffee.”
The bars I live with are all internalized.  I’m old and I’ve been obeying all the laws and doing as I was told and feeling like it’s never enough.  The Prime Minister insults me personally. A wasted pumped up amateur wannabe embarrassment he still criticizes me and calls others like me wealthy and entitled. There is talk these days of ‘priviledge’ yet all I hear are critics and when the real heavy lifting is called for all these snow flakes vanish.
I’m tired too. It’s been a long hard week, going to work and dealing with Gilbert’s surgery. I’m thankful he’s recovered. His nights of whimpering and my sleepless nights took their toll.
But the old soldier told me of his nightmare at D Day.  “We’d been trained.  There was nothing to prepare us for the beaches.  Friends beside you having their heads blown right off.  Noise. Bombs. Blinding flashes.  Bullets.  Running forward over dead bodies.  Diving into the blood and sand. The only thing that saved me was the drill. We’d been taught over and over again.  Load, aim, fire,  advance, load, aim fire,  what the sergeant had said.  They’d survived and they told us what to do from experience.  We practiced over and over.  It was all that got me through that day. Doing the drill.”
So when I wake up I have my own kind of drill.  I make coffee. I feed the animals.  George was actually out playing with Gilbert, bumped him with his head.  They’re cute that way. Gilbert took it in a good natured way, wagging his tail. He’s still wearing his cone after surgery. He enjoyed the Little Cesar I gave him and even went onto eat some dried food.
I got out an egg I’d boiled yesterday, a banana and a couple of pieces of Babybel Cheese. As soon as I began to remove the cellophane wrapper Gilbert’s head shot up.  Despite blindness he found his way immediately to my side. It’s his favourite cheese.  That’s why I got it. We have shared some each day after his surgery.  He ate venison and steak and liver pate as well. I worried so much about him this time.  He was slow to recover, compared to the removal of his first eye.  Slow to start drinking water and peeing and a day late pooping. He’s back on track. At the office he gets up to greet his friends, the dog lovers or Gilbert lovers, in my practice. He is wagging his tail and sitting to be petted. I’m relaxing.
Now I’ll get in the shower and dress. More of the morning ‘getting to work drill’.  I’ve a ritual. Everything is orderly so I don’t have to reinvent the wheel each day searching for things like keys and wallets. I’m having to look for pants. I put a couple of pairs of jeans in the laundry and have been wearing black dress pants which look a lot like the black sweats.  It’s the only snag in the flow of dressing this week.
I sometimes go over the drill in my mind trying not to forget something. Earlier this week, it was a pen. I left without a pen and that obsessive compulsive part of me was mildly annoyed all day using a plastic throwaway I got from the clinic.
Other doctors have been away and sick so I’ve been holding the fort alone. It gives me comfort to be of assistance knowing I’m contributing.I serve my patients and working now in these other clinics am glad to help and pull my weight as it’s reciprocal. When I’m not there someone covers for me.  There are no extra doctors. If a doctor is absent the others have to carry his load. My emergency room doctor friend has been alone in a department where there were supposed to be 5 doctors.
Canada may have the most corrupt and incompetent government management of health care in western civilization.  Whenever there has been a problem the solution of the Communist mentality administration is more administration. The result is that we have the most administration in the western world and least doctors,  highest costs and least doctors.  I’ve worked in the private and public sector and the private sector is better less grossly incompetent. There’s countless committee meetings in the public sectors and everyone avoids seeing patients.  It’s become increasingly worse over the years.
Then I read in an article that Dr. Bill McEwan is now head of St. Paul’s Psychiatry.  I don’t know how long that’s been but I worked with Bill years ago and he was one of those really bright lights and incredibly fine clinicians.  Seeing him in this position gives such hope. It’s like having Dr. Hurwitz as head of Neuropsychiatry at UBC. The man’s a regular genius yet I don’t know how they manage in the beurocracy. It’s not so bad as it was when I was there and the head was whipping naked women in his office and the drugs and alcohol were flowing freely.  I loved that Dr. Soma Ganesin, the brilliant cultural psychiatrist got a chair of cross cultural psychiatry. Dr. Howard is another of my favourites.  Of course Dr. Bob Stowe, the behavioural neurologist working in psychiatry is my personal pick for the highest award for research and clinical medicine.  Truly extraordinary clinician but also an amazingly clear thinking academic and researcher.  I keep hearing of people I admired most retiring, Dr. Solomon, Dr. Marriage.  That's a downside of aging.
I’m too quick to disparage institutions.  These people who are truly amazing clinicians and great souls work there.  I’m far too jaded by my contact with the drunken drug abusing psychiatrists who were fucking students and patients and being protected by the College of Physicians and Surgeons. The college is always complicit in the corruptions and scandals of health care but they always have some beurocratic means of avoiding accountability.  Sins of omission is what hell is paved with to my mind. That’s why I’ve so enjoyed reading the Nuremberg Trials and Arendt’s accounts of the Banality of Evil.  Beurocrats. It’s not Hitler that was the problem but rather those who did nothing. The same occurs today with Justin Trudeau and his Islamaphobia attack on freedom of speech, his attack on business and general financial destruction of the economy turning a once great country into a communist shell which like all communist countries will sell off it’s assets and tax the populace until someone puts a stop to the high living elites.  My friends call me a ‘wage nigger’.  Those are the bars I see. So far they're just internalized but I wonder when they're manifest on the outside.  I doubt someone else can make coffee as good as the coffee  I make myself.
I just want to serve God and do medicine.  But there’s such a political micro management and control over every aspect of health care I really feel like that Submarine Captain in the Tom Clancy novel where there was an ignorant political leader standing at the shoulder of the captain questioning his every decision. Every decision had to  first and foremost serve the administration, the party. The administration always says they’re there for the people, just like Justin Trudeau who claims his flamboyant lifestyle and wastrel waste of mone.y is for the sake of the citizen.  There degree is CYA, cover your ass and DLW, do least work.  Divide and conquer and scapegoat.
I worry though I’m  just disgruntled.  I don't like winter here. The darkness and rain.  I miss the bright pristine prairies.  I’ve lost my brother, my best friend and another friend, and am seeing everyone my age dying around me.  My dog’s having his eyes out was a hit. Then another false accusation of subjective emotional lying scheming attack.  Before that a year of death threats against my dog and my own life and the ‘authorities’ , the ‘government administration’ , the’police’ doing nothing yet if someone says a doctor ‘upset’ them the whole weight of the authorities comes down on them at the tune of thousands of dollars of punishment for stepping out of line.
They call it the Civil Sevrive. People forget that this is a Military Organization.  Like Military service,  the Civil Service first serves the Crown.  Justin Trudeau isn’t working for Canadians. He actually says Canada is not a nation. He’s a ‘transnational’ and he works for Brussels and Beijing and Mecca but not for me and not for other western Canadians.
Our provincial government and the police and ‘Civil Service” serve a horribly corrupt system where our principle agricultural product here has been Marijuana with low estimates of 8 to 10 billion dollars a year in crops. Couple with that is a 50 billion Heroin and other drugs coming through our city.  Annually .001% deterrent ‘catch’ is made by the millions of dollars of police resources who are completely restricted by the senior beurocracy and courts. Yet in other countries where they really do fight crime we always find that there are senior judges and senior administrative staff involved in the multi billion dollar crime rackets.  So our local BC Goverrnment, now NDP, would have us believe that the Civil Service and our Courts and themselves are totally untouched by this billions of dollars of money flowing like a raging stream through our city making working folk unable to find housing because of all the criminal investment in real estate here. They caught one police man selling drug from his car.
In the US drug trafficking was finally addressed when all the assets of the dealers were taken yet here in Canada a Surrey marijuana grower is in court arguing that just because his one house was a grow operation all his other houses should be protected from the court.
I see that the laws and attack on legal gun owners and hunters are unbearable, an outrageous persecution and tax grab after the Liberal 2 billion dollar make work gun registry program from Liberal ex security forces and hangers on, totally unnaccountable money in typical corrupt Liberal fashion.  Yet when you actually look at the consequences for criminals with guns and the ready availability of pardons and all the ‘treats’ for criminals and legal protections for gun wielding terrorists, it’s thoroughly disheartening.
I’m soul dead thinking that Justin Trudeau gave $10 million dollars of my hard earned , so very hard earned, so very very hard earned, at such high cost and risk, money, to a terrorist who made bombs that killed Canadian soldiers and himself killed an American soldier. And I’m fined for jay walking and expected daily to be perfect. Really all of us as doctors are told we must be perfect all the time or we’ll lose our licenses. We’re constantly fighting the government these days. Studies consistently show that the greatest stress and disappointment for doctors is the constant attack , constantly being stabbed in the back, by the government, this CIVIL SERVICE, military authoritarian construct, with all manner of power and not at all democratic or even thinking for the benefit of all, but wholly self serving and self interested in the administrative goals, which are evidenced in Justin Trudeau consummate political ‘scab voter’ immigration programs, with all the shallow false emotional lies.
It’s the lies.  I hate paying taxes now to see the money go to terrorists or to pay drug dealers and their friends in high places.
The Former Mayor and Chief of Police are positioning to make a fortune off legalization of marijuana. The real Liberal Progressive businessman must already be lobbying to legalize pedophilia so that Vancouver could be the first city to have a child prostitution centre. Perhaps they could combine liquor sales, pot sales, free heroin, and gambling to get more criminals to buy real estate here and get the free health care that comes with not having or paying doctors. . One stop vice shopping brought to you for your vote by the Liberals and other left wing aetheists who will do anything for their god, Mammon.
I wonder though if I’m just tired and depressed. I can’t seem to shake the faces of young patients I’ve known who have died in this Fentanyl epidemic. I should be thankful really. It’s been at least a couple of weeks since the last death.
I worry I might just be sour and because I’m sour I see the city with no housing for the workers, the criminal upper classes, the government corruption and the drug addicted Trudeau family and this news NDP government no better despite the promises and lies ; all this I see may simply reflect my unwillingness to look on the good.
I’ve lacked gratitude. They all may just be doing their job. Like the guy who brought the gas to Nuremberg. “I just needed a job for my family so this job hauling gas to Auschwitz is a good job”.  “I don’t think about what they’re using the gas for.”
No wonder government jobs are always the highest paid. The amount of guilt and shame that go with them especially in health care where they can’t even get or keep doctors and the doctors who they have are afraid to see patients especially women who are untouchable, the new sharia medicine rules in place, so that it’s just too cumbersome to examine women for fear touching them, might lead to a complaint and any complaint costs a doctor personally $5 to $10, 000 dollars and much more if he’s a critic of the system and not one of the chosen insiders sharing complicity with the flavour of the month royal court ‘politically correct beurocratic dictatorship and  enslavement.
See I lean to the negative. Life is roses on one side and shit on the other and the shit is the manure for the roses. God is Good. God is good all the time. This too will pass.
Thank you Jesus for the rain that stopped the fires and washes away the dirt in the streets. Thanks for the chill of fall that kills the fleas in the grass. Thanks for Gilbert getting better another day and George our rescue cat having a home. Thank you for my health and ability to serve and be of use to my fellows not only working but as part of a team pulling my weight.
Help me to focus on men like Dr. McEwan and Dr. Ganesan and Dr. Stowe and Dr. Howard and Dr. Hurwitz and see that the finest of clinicians work well despite this system.  Even Dr. Lou the great addiction psychiatrist  tolerates the administration somehow.   So why does it bother me so much.
It’s not the outside issue as much as my perception. I’m fearful of the sharia communist destruction of Canada by Trudeau and the Globalist Agenda 21 destruction of democracy and celebration of Civil Service Dictatatorship. The UN Agenda 21 actually called for Canadian Civil Service to be traitors to parliament and mutiny. Yet so far it’s only in the US that they’ve outlawed Agenda 21 state after state. In Canada the Beurocacrats and Courts in general, in general all appointed left over colonial constructs,  have become an elite, no longer responsive to the elected parliament.
Trudeau gives millions to foreign Muslim countries with no mandate as such for this.  Then he ignores the Christians who are persecuted around the world to bring jhadists Muslims unvetted into the country to introduce the terrorism which is devastating my loved London.
Thank you God for your blessings. May I see the glass half full. There are so many blessings. Let me watch the rise of men like Andrews Scheer and women like Kelly Leitch and know that this is hope of spring. It’s always before winter that I cringe and worry. Maybe this year won’t be so bad. Maybe there won’t be so many suicides in Jan and February and I won’t be without any mental health resources to offer people,  crying in despair in the middle of the great darkness.  All I can do is watch because it’s against the law for even doctors to touch patients today as it may be miscronstrued. Sharia medicine reigns supreme in Canada.  The government has made all doctors the enemy. It’s the old divide and conquer.  Sharia communisms comes like a Mile, "wrecking ball'.  Sexy.
Of course the fallacy of the courts and the judges who should be educated as such is the ‘ends against the middle’ .  The Trudeau court influence continues to shape Canada against the will of the majority of Canadians despite the fact that Justin Trudeau as never before is totally on the wrong side of history.
Drop these obsessions. You slept, I say to myself.  Do the drill. Get out of your head. Stop with the self pity. Focus on the positive. See things will get better. This too will pass. All shall be well. All shall be well.  Just 2 more days to the weekend.
Thank you Jesus for the hope your story brings. It’s says that in the end we win.  I am so very thankful for all your blessings and really all the great men and women I’ve been blessed to know and have as teachers. Thank you. I pray too for friends in Nepal. I pray for my family and friends and patients.
Thank you God. Help me to have clarity of vision and see that you are the potter. I am just the clay. I must just do the drill. Get to work. Go through the gauntlet of the worst administrated highway in history and accept that with 50 000 other commuters that the Civil Service, because its got its own agenda can’t get the traffick to flow despite all the evidence in the world that good administrations can make the trains run on time,  Ehen I lived in the US I saw better management of freeways with a hundred times the traffic.

But see you’re the one that’s off. CBT. Look on the bright side. Stop being so negative. Get to work and help someone else. You’re a royal pain, I said to myself angry that I let the internet fill my brain with the selective media narratives of the day. Who cares what socks Justin Trudeau is wearing.  Be thankful he can at least dress himself.   The world doesn’t need more critics or administrators. You’re a front line worker. Get in there. Do the drill.  Hit the beach.

Psalm 32

From Psalm 32, NIV Bible,
“You are my hiding place;
You will protect me from trouble
And surround me with songs of deliverance.'
++++
“Rejoice in the Lord and be glad, you righteous,
sing, all you who are upright in heart."

I love the psalms. When people have been threatening to kill me, kill my dog, or kill my family, I have turned to the psalms for comfort. They were written by David facing all the armies of his enemies and those who were supposedly friends who betrayed him. I am amused that House of Thrones is so popular but it’s really just historic deviance and divide and conquer.
I just read a history of Armenia and that poor kingdom was under attack from either the Greek Christians or Muslems every few years all the while there was internal strife.
 Israel was an attractive e nation along the trade routes.  Armies passed through going each way.  Empires one after another attempted and succeeded in subjugate it.
Canada is a young country that has not known invasions but increasingly our immigrants come from regions where war was a constant.  Of Scottish/Irish  heritage we’d known peace within the British empire for hundreds of years with minor conflicts compared to the later great war.
In Moscow a few years ago I met with a uniform supplier for the Russian army. He said war was big business  and that Europeans had wars every 50 years on average.  All of the nations of the ‘Security Council’ are principal arms dealers and major war concerns. The purpose of the United Nations was to cement the gains and ensure the Allied Empire would remain in charge thereafter.  The “cold war’, was really not so much a war but an ‘arms race’ that culminated in Detente and the fall of the Berlin Wall.
The competition between ‘socialism’ and ‘capitalism’ was won with the fall of the Berlin Wall.  The American model was a model of decentralization, freedom and meritocracy.  The communist model was central control, totalitarian and fear based. It resulted in the ‘mediocrity’ that haunts all socialist countries.  Stalin said that socialism was communism. Marxist socialism was a dyadic (beugeoisie/proletariat, with the aim of continual warfare till the lowest common denominator , the proletariat ruled.  By contrast there was a Scottish socialist model based on triadic principles of three class society which gave rise to the Union movement.  All economies are a mixture of capitalism and socialism.  Historically the collective agreed to serve in those areas where profit was least likely immediate so less attractive to the capitalist investor.  NAZI was socialism and called itself the National Socialist Party.  Ironically today given the propaganda and disinformation the average person does not recognize ‘central’ control as the hallmark of socialism and dictatorship. Yet Lenin, revered socialist, insisted on ‘dictatorship of the proletariat’.
Even in the church there is the central control of the Catholic contrasted with the regional control of presbytery.  The pendulum swings. In Canada we are facing more dictatorship.  Pierre Trudeau threatened the country’s citizens collectively bringing on martial law against all for the action of an few individuals.  The French have historically swung from their love of monarchy or Napoleonic Empire dictatorship to their bloody French Revolution and radicalism.  In almost all the colonies of the French there have been persistent war left for generations while British colonies by comparison have been relatively stable.  As Canada has become ruled by Quebec dictatorship following the increasing reduction in ‘eligible’ political candidacy, first ‘fluent french speakers’ and now pro abortionist only we have become a centralized oligarchy.
The natural appeal of dictatorship is the ‘benign dictator’ is the most appealing efficient government yet ‘power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely’ with Canada increasingly corrupt as a nation, perhaps more corrupt than ever. The Charbonneau Enquiry essentially showed that the Eastern Mafia and Biker Gangs controlled the building of Quebec and naturally as Quebec dominates Canada    the influence of corruption spreads through the nation. Not that western Canada is still “Canada the good’ , once the ‘bread basket of the world’, it’s agricultural achievement today is it’s production of marijuana.
The legal/political byzantine squabbling at the top which each corporation trying to get special deals and own the law makers who are themselves seeking special retirement havens like the world renown Canadian Senate, the best of all Old Age Pension deals for the ‘good friend’ of the wheeling dealing central socialist government, it all seems to the common man like a brawl going on in the sky between gods and goddesses of ancient greece and rome.  These Gods and Goddessess aren’t called Mars and Venus but rather Walmart, Pfizer, de Havilland, Nike, etc.  Meanwhile the Hillary Clinton debate wages to the south and Brexit has escaped from the centralized authority and cancerous bureaucracy of Brussels.  It remains to be seen if England will survive this encounter with the Germans.  The Communist experiment in Babylon fell as has the Islamic Babylon tumbled before Desert Spring.  The struggle remains in the West and China.  Always the Borg meets Captain Picard.
In the midst of all this apparent deceit, corruption and greed, divisiveness and empire, it’s good to turn to the Lord.  The psalms are a comfort.
“You are my hiding place,
You will protect me from trouble.
And surround me with songs of deliverance."
When I attended Regent College Dr. James Houston taught courses on spirituality which we were truly blessed to attend year after year.  He taught that reading all the psalms day after day till they are finished would help one to feel ‘anointed’.  There’s a recurrent theme being lost and found over and over again.  It’s the story of David.
David’s heir was Jesus.
Hallelujah.

Facebook Censorship is a FACT

Today my blog, this blog, was 'blocked' by Facebook.  No explanation except that it was thought to be 'offensive' .  Not 'what article' or 'offensive' to who, just offensive.  I was 'guilty until proven innoscent'.
I was given the option to say why "I" didn't think I was offensive. I wrote that I was an "award winning writer, a physician,  a psychiatrist, and a minister".  I was tempted to go on and list the dozens of medical degrees, awards from a variety of organizations, countless affiliations, send them my banker's personal number to show my paltry attempts at saving and my accountant's phone number to  show my punitive and outrageous tax receipts for 30 plus years, (to cite my good sportsmanship if anything). It's offensive when unknown 'POWERFUL PASSIVE AGGRESSIVE AND COVERT FORCES" "f*** with you.  It's downright frightening.  I didn't.  I realized that FACEBOOK has this 'system'.  It offends based on some "report' by some "POLITICALLY CORRECT" Bullies and then you are instantly 'guilty'.
It was frightening.  Facebook is a WORLD POWER. It's accused this blog of being "offensive".  It called me 'offensive' and if I didn't do anything I would be "blacklisted'.  At least they tell you you're blacklisted. I've been told by others I was on the RCMP and American "lists" when I was involved in peace marches.
It's not the first time I've been black listed. I wrote a song about God in high school. I said that I thought God was bored by the world and no longer paying attention.  I was expelled because of the "style" of communication.  I was told by the English teacher brought in to support the Principal that my poetry and songs had no 'literary value'.  I was expelled then later asked to return because parents of students objected more to the "censorship".
I wrote an article criticizing the American politicians war mongering in a medical journal.  The medical journal  was 'banned' in the United States. The Editor phoned me "ecstatic" and  thanked me for making his journal 'relevant'.
I was approached and advised quietly that my article on "Civil Committment" and "Imprisonment" had been 'read' and I should be 'careful'.
I was invited to a dinner where the community business leader after several glasses of wine bragged about having had a union agitator 'knee capped'.  By that time I was realizing that what I'd been taught about the world, democracy, freedom and such in social studies at school was pretty much a 'crock'.
Today, I simply say, "If you haven't any scars, then you're just being used".  I loved Dylan's song, "You've got to Serve Somebody. Maybe the Devil or it May be the Lord, but you have to Serve somebody."
Little Sister's Bookstore here in Vancouver has been plagued for years by perverted censors wanting the right to watch porn themselves and deny other adults the freedom to read or see whatever without it being 'selected' politically by Big Brother and Big Sister.
I've been writing about Julian Assange because his story is only a story of 'censorship'.  The CIA have apparently put pressure on Sweden to find a couple of bimbos to testify that Julian fell asleep after sex.  If Julian had been female he'd have been accused of being a witch.
This is how it goes.  One doesn't look at the 'content' but rather the 'process'.  The 'way' people behave shows who are the 'bullies' and who are the Machiavellians.  When Stalin was killing millions you didn't listen to what he said, you learned what was 'safe' by looking at who had been air brushed out of existence in the pictures of the Russian Communist Party.  It's like the missing of Argentina.
I've been outspoken about the  Conservative Party of Canada. The fact is I consider the Liberals and NDP to embrace the ideas of 'political correctness' and would not at all be surprised to learn that a Liberal or NDP took offense at my support for the Conservatives.
I am a Christian and this is offensive to many.  Like Kierkegard and Bonhoffer, I've even offended some Christians who would rather I was Jewish or Buddhist than claim association with them. I publicly say "Christianity is too important and rich a religion and  tradition to leave in the hands of opportunists and interlopers."
I even criticized the originator of FACEBOOK after a movie exposed his theft of the engineering and codes of the Harvard classmates. The courts found against him and typically the 'fine' didn't make a dint in the 'profits' of the 'stolen technology'.  There was a similiar movie about the theft of design of the windshield washer by individuals in the Car Industry.  Years later the wrong is righted.  Legal reform is as a consequence of these examples and many more being demanded by all except those who benefit from the increasing failures in the legal system.
I doubt there will be a means whereby I will be able to 'confront' my accusers.  In Canada if you want to get ahead and it's a close competition you make an 'anonymous' phone call to the Child Police and say that your competitor is sexually abusing their kids.  Michael Creighton's classic book Disclosure showed how the 'Sexual Offender" legislation was being used to gain advancement.  It was such a complaint locally that men said that women in business were previously wanting to 'f' their way to top but now were bypassing that and simply claiming they'd been 'f''d to have competition removed. It's a variation of the CIA and Julian Assange.  The courts are trumping democracy despite Troudeau saying the 'state has no place in the bedrooms of the nation."
When something happens to me, because I'm a mediocre common sort myself, I think of all the millions of people who have been 'censored' , 'black listed', 'persecuted' and haven't been able to say, "i'm a writer, I'm a physician, I'm a world traveller, I'm a minister."  My brain injured patients and the mentally ill are commonly predjudiced against. The elderly are increasingly marginalized.
I have objected to this Canadian Election which will cost an estimated 1.5 billion dollars.  The 'official' public announcement for the last election was $300 million".  The private watchdog figure was '$1.5 billion dollar."  Jack Layton of the NDP is responsible for this because he didn't support the Conservative budget's bid for support of all the elderly. Like the Liberals, the NDP have their 'special groups'.  This kind of 'opinion' is 'unacceptable'.  It gets one threatened in Canada.
I've had death threats. My family had death threats when I fought a case of anti semiticism.  Similiarly when I objected to Rabbis raping I was called an anti semite and threatened.  Thankfully the Anglican and Catholic Priest Pedophiles didn't threaten me when I objected to their treatment in Residential Schools.  I was criticized by 'wealthy white' people for supporting First Nations in that situation.
If you actually take a 'stand' you become a target.  The terror in Canada is evident in the 'wishy washy' 'mediocre' 'grey' "political correctness' which dominates everything.
Facebook is an organization of 'censorship'.
I suspect I'll be 'allowed back in',  when I dealt with 'in groups' , (there was a great girl school movie which exposed this phenomena well) they commonly 'ostricized' someone and then invited them back to show them they can be 'eliminated'.  The idea is that this 'treatment' will make them 'watch' what they say.
It just makes me think that FACEBOOK as a WORLD POWER is perhaps more corrupt than even MUBARACK and GADAFFI's Organizations. At least those 'beaurocracies' were 'peopled' not 'robotic'.  Clearly given FACEBOOK"S "EXTRAORDINARY POWER and that Power leads to Abuse there is need for OVERSEER on FACEBOOK CENSORSHIP.
Imagine the potential for a 'timely' shutdown of one 'political' idea.  Say Ignatieff is a friend of Mark Zuckerman and suddenly no one hears of Harper the week before the election.  Imagine Mark Zuckerman is a friend of Hillary Clinton and the same occurs in the American election.  Where's democracy and where's freedom of speech.
I remember the first major computer scam I was 'suckered into'. It was the 'bank machine'.  Overnight these went up and it was a 'free way' to get money and the banks all saved on staff and those with more machines attracted customers.  Then the costs came later.
It's that way with the heroin and cocaine pushers down here in downtown eastside. All the drugs you want are 'free' at first. When you get hooked the hidden cost comes out. The banks and the drug dealers didn't think about the 'charges' 'after the fact'. It was part of the diabolical plans.  It's the corporate 'trojan horse'.
FACEBOOK CENSORSHIP is now a "FACT".  It's already been selling all our personal information for months or years by changing the 'privacy settings' without appropriate notice. What next.

The Generic Pharmaceutical Scandal

Too often I've had to bite my tongue as doctors have been scapegoated by government for the costs in medicine. In contrast I've argued frequently that the failure of government to address the costs of 'defensive medicine', what doctors do to protect against lawsuit which really are unwarranted from a strictly clinical basis accounts for the majority of medical costs in the country.

I've been wrong. It turns out that literally billions of health care dollars can be accounted for by what most would call 'graft' in the pharmaceutical industry. The pharmaceutical companies make new drugs. They spend fortunes on research and marketing.

Generic drugs are purportedly 'cheaper' and government has been quick to reduce the 'copyright' of the originators of drugs so that the 'generics' can make 'knock offs' for the benefit of patients.

In Ontario today though the Health Minister has come head to head with the extraordinarily wealthy generic companies because each of these competing with the other generic company has made a sweet deal with each pharmacy only to supply their particular 'generic' 'brand'. The result has been that literally half of the health care budget for medications can be explained by this 'business practices' which had to date not been addressed by government.

Other Ministers of Health are following up on this and the likelihood is that Canadians will collectively benefit.

I only bring this up because frankly I've long been weary with the chronic criticism of doctors by those who like to make themselves taller by 'cutting off the heads of others'.

That said it's the pharmacy business owners and not the lowly pharmacist who works for the pharmacist. This was the same for the hospitals where the 'smart' business practices of administration would get blamed on the doctors.
