Fortune Telling Campaigns [commentary] The race for governor of Toronto and ward council representitive is happening now, and one of the things I've noticed is the number of campaigns that are gunning the word "change." Wow, thank-you fortune cookie horroscope; it's all clear now: Vote for me and this month you will see many changes. Sure, many of the politicians do outline--albiet briefly--what they are going to do, but the brunt of their persuasion lies on change. They are throwing around this generality becuase they know people have issues and problems. What issues and problems? Heck if they know! These politicians don't have a clue, so they hope that by merely saying things will change, they will include everyone who is fed up with something.
