Poverty As Social Protest

I am a person with disabilities as social protest.

For this is the closest in the post-modern world that I can get to becoming a sadhu in Western society.

Yet this will not get me committed except to a worthy cause. It is also unworthy of me to have normal desires and passion.

It is against my rights to force me to work a 40 hour week just to obtain taxes from me to oppress the homeless and the mentally ill.

By not forming a Mental Health Commission and a Homeless Commission, the Canadian government is thus oppressing the homeless and the mentally ill.

The only way I will support my poverty is through volunteerism and minimal part-time work.

***This entry will be edited over the next week as I add to it.

In October 2007, the Mental Health Commission was formed. It is at arm's length away from mental health consumers.

I as a consumer would have to go through an advocacy agency in order to access it.
