Sarcastic Bastard

you know what? the world is a stupid place. anyone who reads this (if there is anyone) has read my past posts about the drivers that i have to deal with on a regular basis. but it's so much more than that. i look around and i see so much crap that i know i can't have the slightest effect on. ooooh, the guy at that restaurant was an ass, what am i gonna do, boycott the restaurant? maybe, but what's it gonna prove? it's not gonna go out of business because i refuse to go there anymore (even if i tell all my friends, a) i don't have a huge circle of influence, and b) at least half of them would keep going there anyway! lol). it's the same with so many things out there. why do we put up with this shit in our lives? so many times i look around and think: "if only i could make people understand". it's not about wielding power over others (though how sweet would that be, eh?), but about doing something that makes society better for others.

kal and i were talking about the ttc the other day. i think it's completely ridiculous that the union has so much power there. for fuck's sake, they're BUS/SUBWAY DRIVERS, making more money than a lot of other people out there. not that they're completely to blame for the financial woes of the transit system. management is clearly out of control and bloated, and the system gets very little support from high levels of government. it's sad that few people care enough - about improving traffic flow in the city, protecting the environment, and saving money - to fight for an efficient and inexpensive transit system.

that's all i have to say about that right now. i want to talk more about work, but i'm not in the mood right now.
