RIP Christie Blatchford
Tough, tenacious, bold, unapologetic. If she said it you knew she meant it because so much of what she said rubbed the establishment the wrong way and when they bleated, she'd just say it again. Her audacity and personal integrity were something to see, let me tell you.
I'm at an age (49) where you begin losing a lot of the public figures you look up to. Actors, musicians, political and cultural icons. Not just public figures, either. As my mom once told me, "you hit a certain age, and suddenly the parties you get invited to are half weddings and half funerals."
But who knew that it would be Christie Blatchford and none of the other icons we've lost over the last few years who would have me weeping on a Tuesday afternoon? She was a quiet, unassuming part of my life. I never felt any kind of fangirl enthusiasm about her. Yet what a gaping hole she's leaving behind, not only for me, but for all of us.
My condolences to her family and loved ones.

Commenting policy:
All comments are welcome here. I refuse to censor points of view that differ from my own.
I recognize that I may be challenging the deep-seated beliefs of some people, and perhaps stirring up emotions in others. However, I would ask:
- if you care to respond to anything that I have said, please do not simply link to or quote some statistic. Do not simply regurgitate things you have been told are true. Think about what I am saying. Respond with an argument. Offer something from your personal observations, and explain to me how you feel your statistic is connected to your experience.
- If you wish to be part of a discussion, try not to dismiss what I or a another commenter says out of hand. Yes, that means that some lines of thought or ideologies may not stand up to scrutiny (perhaps even my own).
- Remember, ad hominem attacks diminish everyone involved. If you want to criticize anything, do so passionately and directly - but debate is about attacking ideas, not people.
Have at you!
This is how my associate Wesley Virgin's story starts with this SHOCKING and controversial VIDEO.
ReplyDeleteYou see, Wesley was in the military-and soon after leaving-he revealed hidden, "MIND CONTROL" secrets that the government and others used to get everything they want.
As it turns out, these are the same secrets lots of famous people (notably those who "come out of nothing") and the greatest business people used to become rich and famous.
You probably know how you only use 10% of your brain.
That's mostly because the majority of your brain's power is UNTAPPED.
Perhaps this thought has even taken place IN YOUR very own head... as it did in my good friend Wesley Virgin's head around seven years back, while driving an unlicensed, trash bucket of a car without a license and in his bank account.
"I'm absolutely fed up with going through life paycheck to paycheck! Why can't I turn myself successful?"
You've been a part of those those types of questions, isn't it right?
Your very own success story is going to be written. All you have to do is in YOURSELF.
