Con movies, confidence plays. Con artists, grifters, scammers...whatever. Con movies kick ass. In the last week I've watched matchstick men and confidence both excellent flicks. I've decided based on their strengths, albeit their endings are both kind of weak well more weird the weak but yeah, but based on their strengths I've decided that can movies are where its at. And you could write one ripped from the headlines in the last two months BC civil servants go down for organised crime/mob connections plus two multi-million dollar marijuana busts one in Ontario one in Alberta, the Gia-cant-remember-his-name sponsorship scandal. Ok so I'm not sure how they are linked but I bet their cons, I feel conned well not really none of the $250million was mine, and the timing right before the election I think we were being conned those whole time and the opposition was holding their cards until a more lucrative time to play the hand. If this is true it makes me mad. The innocent voters getting played by democracy. Well they aren't innocent they're voting but still. There is a flaw in democracy and it lies in the thirst for power the need to be re-elected the need to BE elected this leads to compromised ideals and flawed morals when in theory democracy leads to what's best for the people. Alas I'm impotent and underage so I can't even vote about it and it is the next best thing....Next best to what you ask and to that I have no answer that's why I'm gonna just shutup now. till next time. enjoy.
