Irreverent, contrarian, delighted to be out of synch with the zeitgeist, I depend on my sense of humour (such as it is) to keep me sane in this wacky world.

Sing out, Jennifer: Is it just me, or does Canadian "human rights" Diva Jennifer Lynch bear a certain resemblance to Angela Landsbury? Here's Jen essaying one of Angela's best-known Broadway show stoppers:

Some countries can be content
With free expression and free dissent.
That’s okay for some countries
That aren’t terribly nice.
 
Some countries don’t draw a line
‘Tween speech that’s hateful and speech that’s fine.
That’s ducky for some countries
And they’ll soon pay the price.
 
But “nice” it  goes well with ice.
And my advice: mind your words
‘Cuz they can offend,
And mind your thoughts,
‘Cuz they can cause harm.
Don’t be mean or rude, snide or nasty
Come on, people, heed my alarm.
 
Some countries aren’t in a thrall
To cant about “muliticultural”.
That’s peachy for some countries
For some misrun countries now and then.
But some countries ain’t Jen.
 
I had a dream,
A wonderful dream, people,
All about curbing the wrong kind of voices
And folks’d self-censor, because it’s their choices…
 
Some countries are out of touch.
Their First Amendment is such a crutch
That’s freedom in some countries,
In some misrun countries now and then.
Well, they can go get stuffed
But not Jen!
