The Commission On Audit

then audit later

try it baby.

The Lawyer’s Second Tale: Christian

A highland inn among the western hills,
A single parlour, single bed that fills
With fisher or with tourist, as may be;
A waiting-maid. as fair as you can see,
With hazel eyes, and frequent blushing face,
And ample brow, and with a rustic grace
In all her easy quiet motions seen,
Large of her age, which haply is nineteen,
Christian her name, in full a pleasant name,
Christian and Christie scarcely seem the same;
A college fellow, who has sent away
The pupils he has taught for many a day,
And comes for fishing and for solitude,
Perhaps a little pensive in his mood,
An aspiration and a thought have failed,
Where he had hoped, another has prevailed,
But to the joys of hill and stream alive,
And in his boyhood yet, at twenty-five.
A merry dance, that made young people meet,
And set them moving, both with hands and feet;

I feel an independent accountability commission should audit all government services.

Americans like to make money; Canadians like to audit it. I know no other country where accountants have a higher social and moral status.

Uncontrolled access to data, with no audit trail of activity and no oversight would be going too far. This applies to both commercial and government use of data about people.

The Pentagon can't even audit its own books. It doesn't even know where its money is going. And we refuse to have the tough forces go on the Pentagon so that at least they are efficient with the money they're spending.

Could a government dare to set out with happiness as its goal? Now that there are accepted scientific proofs, it would be easy to audit the progress of national happiness annually, just as we monitor money and GDP.

We Live An On Going ... Craze!

It's an on going
Craze
Aready lauded
Many applaud it.

We're in an on going
Crazy-e 'daze'
Already lauded,
Some wish to audit
Many applaud it
Now all have bought it
With no obeying of the laws.
We live an on going
Craze!

The reason it takes us from November the second to December the sixth to certify is because we have a very tedious, very comprehensive process where we audit by precinct, across the state, every vote that was cast to make sure that every vote that was legally cast is counted.

Malfunction

Shutting the systems,
Closing the mind,
Kill organisms,
Thoughts unwind.

Close the vessels,
And the valves,
Cripple the muscles,
Limbs devolve.

Snap the cycle,
Activate defences.
Turn on psycho,
Sever the senses.

Matter condenses,
Slay the soul,
Cut the nonsense,
Cloud the goal.
