twenty-eight years and a million words

Toronto, 2003.12.18

This morning I went to the HRDC to see about the program they have for getting self-employed people going.

Meredith, my appointed person, seemed put off by the fact that I'd just taken a permanent gig, and went through the motions in a perfunctory fashion. I don't really understand it, given that I'd made the appointment weeks ago before all of this happens, and that I can still make use of the plan at any point in the next three years, but there it is.

Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.

—Frank Wilhoit
