Just shut up

This page was at the bank yesterday as the TV overlooking the lineup showed coverage of the shootings at Virginia Tech University. The response from the cellphone yapping GQ wannabe in front of me was "I wonder what that Green Party guy who got fired has to say about it".

For those of you scoring at home, my reaction is still being formulated - for all the safewalk programs, amber alerts and taking our shoes off at the airport, we just can't guarantee that someone is going to kill us.

As for Kevin Potvin - I've read enough issues of the Republic of East Vancouver to know that despite being acclaimed he was never going to be the Greens' candidate in Kingsway. Let this be a lesson for anyone who still thinks the Greens are a member-driven, let alone "left-leaning" party.
