TGO Should Resign…too late now.

Wayne should stay home for this trip. It won’t make an iota of difference. The team will still be hounded from Quinn down to the waterboy by the internation media, as will other teams with NHL players. The media will win this tournament. Everyone else, from the fans to the players to the NHL, will lose. That’s my prediction.

On the other hand, if Wayne does go, and it appears he has, he may draw flies away from the team. Just like he did with his comments in Salt Lake about how other countries like to see Canada lose. With Wayne there, he make stop the players and coaches from being bombarded. So Wayne should go…I think. I dunno. What do you think?

It occurred to me a while ago, but I couldn’t put it into conceptual form until now. Something’s happening. People used to tell me they felt this way about markets, or, The Market.

Is it a religious feeling? I don’t know. I’m feeling it about this thing we call Global Society. It took a tragedy for it to come into focus for me. The Red Sea Ferry disaster was splashed across the top of the upper fold of the Vancouver Sun. Right next to it was a story about Ferry safety in BC.

Then it hit me. We are everywhere. We are omnipresent, or at least we have built a very young, tenuous and relatively untested thing that allows us to be omnipresent when conditions are right. [Read more]
