- Thursday, April 10, 2003

 Societal economics
on auto pilot: a personal SGI insurance claim and the war in Iraq
- Thursday, April 10, 2003
by: Mario deSantis
Mario damaged his car, then went to SGI about a claim but got the "you can
claim but I won't tell you how much it will cost you" line and wonders if there
isn't a metaphor in this experience as we look upon irresponsibility worldwide.

 Where is Canada?- Wednesday, April 9, 2003
by: Derrall Bellaire
Canada has sided with the world about the concept of "regime change" by
force but that doesn't mean we should not stand unconcerned while thousands are suffering
from the affects of an invasion of their country. Here is a positive and appropriate
action for Canada to engage in, one that would help in time of considerable need
and action that would not involve being a part of war criminal activity.

 Principled vision lacking- Wednesday, April 9, 2003
by: Mike Reilly
Trying to keep up with the wind direction and what the polls say each day is pretty
tough on foreign policy. Canadians and their government got this deal right in the
first place as a responsible part of the international community now its time to
help out the people of multicultural countries like Iraq to find a way toward building
a workable democratic or at least peaceful form of administration.

 The falsehood of president Bush and his
media's three step program- Tuesday, April 8, 2003
by: Mario deSantis
It is now widely known that the American President has deliberately and systematically
been saying things that he knows are not true. The American television networks and
newspapers are providing him knowingly with support and assistance. This can not
be good.

 Bush&Co.'s
hypocrisy:the bundling fascio of God and Greed- Tuesday, April 8, 2003
by: Mario deSantis
Each day as Mario deSantis searchs through countless stories and information and
then as I go through hundreds of pictures to illustrate the summation he writes of
his research, we both are considerably saddened by the scene we are uncovering. As
I went through mid-eastern and Asian sources tonight I was struck with the enormity
of what is going on and know that those lives lost will not be forgotten but generations
will live on to avenge their loss. This can not be good.

room rural schools.

 The absondoned
Canadian- Monday, April 7, 2003
by: Rebecca Gingrich
Two cabinet ministers have gone to bat for convicted terrorist, husband of a lady
in Surrey BC but it seems no one in the government will make any effort on the part
of a Canadian who was at the scene of a bombing and Saudi police tortured a confession
from the man now facing death.

and its ideological imparative to establish their form of commerce world wide is
viewed.

Right on the back of your driver's license is a place to sign in the case of your
untimely death when you could give the gift of life to another. Don Hardy tells us

Mario has been busy digging into the connections that suggest that the war in Iraq
