I...Will, I absolutely agree from both perspectives. It is both a tempest in a teapot and a leader in complete oblivion to the reality of the lives of the majority of Albertans. You will recall reading Nikiforuk, The Energy of Slaves: Oil and the new Servitude. What Redford and her ilk do not understand is that there is a growing number of Albertans who are taking up a rather "improbable emancipation" Some of us no longer worship the "inanimate slave culture of frantic consumption." Nikiforuk also says, "Unqualified power diminishes life, the only true wealth we share." And he speaks clearly to how easily the Slaves of Energy are deflected from true democracy by the trivial stuff. So, while we spend time and energy on Redford's absolutely unconscious approach to governing through her not too small ego, we are left for little time on the really important stuff.....like real democracy and freedom from the power of petroculture which has obsessed her offices not to mention MLAs. How can we move to taking back our own life and land? Pearl Gregornoreply@blogger.com
