 Servant Leadership and Common Sense versus
Selfish Leadership and Specific Clarity: The case of the demented Saskatchewan
Justice- Tuesday
January 20, 2004
by: Mario deSantis
Nipawin: The astonishing refusal of the Saskatchewan
Government to accept the overwhelming decision by the court on malicious prosecution
of the Klassen family really calls into question the whole point of government. The
ruling was completely and totally in favour of the Klassen family and the idea of
rule of law should be the guiding principle but apparently there is a lesson to be
learned here.

for world social and economic growth: The United Sates must learn from
the principle "give more, take less"- Thursday
January 22, 2004
by: Mario deSantis
Nipawin: It is a pretty long stretch to imagine the
United States acting as former Prime Minister Chretien once suggested "be nice".
But this story suggests that the country that most threatens peace on the planet
has to re-evaluate its behaviour if things are going to improve. Martin Luther King
was murdered in that country but he was leading at the time of his death a crusade
to make the changes needed.

 Deflation is a natural phenomenon of the
global market: More emphasis on full employment and purchasing power- Friday
January 23, 2004
by: Mario deSantis
Nipawin: This week when the Governor of the Bank of
Canada announced the reduction in the Canadian interest rate he asked Canadian businesses
to "increase the productivity". Indeed, he like so many present day economists
worship a false god called "GDP" and when the Free Market deals them a
natural consequence their response is to fiddle with the economic monster they have
themselves created.
