Remembrance Day

Was it rememberance day today? when was the moment of silence? I slept in until 3 today so maybe i was silent.

The moment of silence is a very interesting concept. It makes Canadians sit and think about something (in this case the past wars). Many canadians don't get a chance to think anymore, because they are too busy listening. I don't know what i would think about if i had to do a moment of silence. Maybe i would think of medal of honour allied assault and storming onto the beaches of normandy with my dostovel.

What am i sposed to think about? dead soldiers that got killed because they believed in defending the dominion of Canada in 1918 and 1945. I didn't live in those times, and cant possible try to understand what life was like back then. not even my parents could.

Maybe in the moment of silence, i should think about the future revolutionaries that are bound to lose their lives because they believe in the destruction of the thing called 'canada'. i think even our dead soldiers would be proud of that. even though our government would tell us revolutionary thinking is shaming the dead soldiers. when did the government get ownership of dead peoples ideas?

Ownership of dead people's ideas is in the constitution I think, under Peace, Order and Good Government

I remembered the many Canadians that were killed by enemy Nazi soldiers that were funded, in part, by the Americans. Does that mean that the Americans were being killed by people who could only do the killing with American help? It's true - so they say.
