I apologize for referring to you as "troubled young lady", I wish I knew your first name but that's an entirely different legal issue. But I suspect that you're used to that, aren't you? Being anonymous, I mean. I have heard that you've been caught in the system for over half of your young life - that's a long time to be invisible. Some people in similar circumstances have been anonymous within the system for so long that they truly believe they are one hundred per cent invisible. They truly believe that others cannot see them. They can no longer see themselves. It's at that point that they give up.

 Our fine mayor, Peter Kelly, has a major problem and it deals with the Commonwealth Games.
It’s called finding a weakness in the opponent and the competing cities of Abuja, Nigeria and Glasgow, Scotland have found one in Halifax and I expect them to exploit it, big time.
Good sports teams especially when they play a strong competitor look for a weakness. Sometimes it only takes one and you exploit it.
NHL coaches study hours of tape on the opposition especially the opposing goalies trying to find a weakness. Is a goalie’s weakness the five hole, short side, up high, etc? |
