WILL HE OR WON'T HE SEE HIS SHADOW
Topic: February 2, 2007
"I've been looking forward to this day for months."
"Me too. It's so exiting."
"The anticipation just builds and builds."
"I'm worried though."
"Oh ya? What about?"
"It's obvious. If he comes out and sees his shadow, we have six more weeks of this."
"You're a, the glass is half-empty type of thinker aren't you? Why don't you try thinking about what if he doesn't see his shadow?"
"I don't think we could ever be that lucky."
"That's enough of those negative waves. Think positive. We need to emit positive energy so that maybe, on a different level, he can pick up on it. It could mean a huge difference."
"You really believe in this stuff don't you?"
"Of course. We've got to believe in something. If we don't, we lose all hope. At least this gives us a chance to feel good. To dream, to hope. You got to have hope. What's the point of going on if you don't have hope? Can you imagine this never ending? It's got to end sooner or later. Nothing lasts forever. So if you believe that it will change, it's just a matter of when and if you can target a when, the dream becomes a reality. No, we need this. We need to hope."
"That's a lot of pressure don't you think?"
"I don't know, all we need to do is have Jack Layton not see his shadow and force an election."
"Shhh! His office door is opening... he's coming out!"
