I took my dog out to High Park today to try to continue her socialization with other domestics. As I try to avoid the trite sales pitches of the Canadian news I had no idea the terrible and fucked up problems they were having with a corrupt activist set on making an (obscure) statement.Or mayhaps he's just a sketch in desperate need of a hobby - or even still, as one reporter (who shall remain nameless) said "just in need of some drug fix." Regardless anyone so far removed from any moral judgement needs to be far removed from any animal - or thing that I love.
However messed as this was, the real travasty came in the form of retarded censorship (this term of course being used in that it was slow and far behind any rational standard). As my girl and I were leaving the park with our beloved dog, Lady, I was - as I so frequently do - documenting the event. I caught on film (to be posted later) photos of a city employee pouring vast ammounts of an unlabeled substance into the public pool. To my surprise I heard "Allison! Behind you!" Immediately the yellow suited "cleaner" informed me that if I did not erase the photo she would "call the cops."
This extreme infringement on my rights, as well as the basic freedom of the press (alternative or government subsidized...) was actually ridiculously misinformed. Beyond the obvious disregard for FREEDOM, she failed to recognize the fact that I was shooting with a full manual analog camera. When I rewound the roll just enough to get a nice double exposure - and shut Allison up I walked away swearing that were inches away from a fascist state. Big brother or paradise lost, were heading past the realm of public awareness and public discussion.
With cover ups rampant and censorship a regular practice - from monoply press to hung whistlemen we haven't got much left. Hold on. Speak outm for the love of freedom don't be silenced by fear and scare tactics.
