Love of Money

Love is in the hot air.

As I watch Paul Martin stand up and scream "I love Canada!" my eyes roll into the back of my head and forth again. When I witness the decoration of his lust towards a nation, I think back to that brand new Chewbacca I opened when I was eight-years old and how I declared my love of the comical Wookie with Mr. Martin's enthusiasm.

However my love of chewy was based solely on a one-way relationship I enjoyed. Chewbacca would continuously go before battle after battle, being dangled above the sewer drain on the front street inches away from a fall into the abyss. After some time Chewbacca's arm fell off and he could not stand up on his own any longer. Shortly after that a new love was declared for his replacement.

Just as my love was based solely on the usefulness of the object, so is the love of Paul Martin. Once Canada has served its purpose and begins to fall apart on his watch that love will quickly be transferred to a new, more useful object.
