The More Things Change ...

We are now a few of days into the new year and so far we have seen:

• another conflict between Israel and the Palestinians
• another Muslim-on-Muslim suicide bombing in Iraq
• another earthquake causing tsunamis in Asia
• another attempt at solving the labour dispute between York University and striking instructors
• another murder in Toronto
• and talk of another Bush making a run for the White House

I was kinda hoping things would be better in 2009.
