Love is never having to say you’re sorry- dumbest thing ever?

David Johnson is an interesting fellow. He represents Canada’s Head of State. Elizabeth II is Queen of Canada, its Sovereign and vested with the full power to govern. She delegates that power to others chosen by democratic means. Hence, in Canada, we have complete democracy and a figurehead dictator. There are no arguments about succession, no political competition to be the next King. Just stability, dependant upon the “dictator’s” integrity, self control and absence of political ambition. David Johnson is like that too, and there are a lot of players in eCanada who are as well. You don’t have to look hard to find them, just look in the right places. The political arena is not the right place.


When Mr. Johnson was at Harvard he played hockey, which is fitting for a lad born in Sudbury. Erich Segal was there at the same time. I have heard they were roommates. Al Gore and Tommy Lee Jones notwithstanding, I prefer to believe that the Oliver character in Love Story was inspired in part by a sensitive Canadian jock earning academic credentials from the best universities in the world. I bet he plays bridge.


It isn’t clear what kills Oliver’s Jennie, maybe the same illness that attacks Forrest’s Jenny, an unspecified infection which makes the victim linger and waste. Sometimes the best plans and the best people can’t bend the arc, but eCanada’s story hasn’t been completed yet. The next chapters could be about prophylactics, because dicks need condoms to stay healthy.


Keep democracy; wear a dictator.
