remembering

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-eight years and a million words

Toronto, 2004.11.08

Today I found an article on canoe.ca about the recommendation by a member of Parliament that Remembrance Day be made a national holiday, so that we can properly observe the day. The article had a survey attached on whether its readers thought this might be a good idea. I voted, "yes" and checked out the results. With 1800+ responses, over 90% were favourable.

I sent the MP an email about it. Then I told him that at the age of 33 I was finally going to attend my first Remembrance Day ceremony. So now I'm committed.

Satire is tragedy plus time. You give it enough time, the public, the reviewers will allow you to satirize it. Which is rather ridiculous, when you think about it.
