 "For God so loved the world he gave
his only begotten son . . ."- Friday
April 9, 2004
by : Timothy W. Shire, illustrated by Dawn LaRochelle
Tisdale : People all around the world set this day aside
to recognise the death of Jesus of Nazareth, a Jew who was executed about 1,972 years
ago by the Roman controlled government of Palestine at the request of the Hebrew
leaders of the day.
Most scholars consider the trail and execution a political event as Rome needed to
control that part of the Middle East and the religious threat to the establish Hebrew
religion was substantial.
The man had distinguished himself as a wise and gifted leader offering his followers
hope and a way of life. That alone, without the religious beliefs that have come
to be a part of his legacy would have been enough to commemorate his life and contribution
to humanity.
"unto you I give another commandment, that you shall love one another."

Tim's Tip of the Day
|
 All things that we see and all things that we think we know are all illusions
created for us from the sensory input combined with our experiences that filter the
images and sounds of everyday events into the memory and interprative illusions we
all call real life. |
|
Kevin's find of the day
|
 Heart attack rate dives after
public smoking ban (PDF) Tom Spears wrote in the Victoria
Colonist on Monday about a study of Helena Montana. In 2002 the city banned smoking
in restaurants and bars and the average number of heart attacks fell from seven a
month to four after the ban while areas surrounding the city did not invoke the ban
and their rate of heart attacks remains the same. |

 Disagree with
Police article- Friday
April 9, 2004
by : Tina LaCroix
The accusations made in the April 7, 2004 World Health Day: Road Safety is no accident
story are unfair and wrongly accuse the police of their use of lethal weapons.

 The values brought
to you by privatisation: Corrupt health care in Saskatoon and corrupt
Canadian politicians - Friday
April 9, 2004
by : Mario deSantis
Nipawin : The real conflict of our age is an ancient
one as the struggle continues between selfishness and selflessness. The Saskatoon
Emergency room doctor who warns of the dangers in his ER get fired and politics continues
to be about power and not about the well being of people.

 Will Conservatives
Listen This Time, Or Repeat Past Mistakes?- Wednesday
April 7, 2004
by : Ron Thornton
Edmonton : One of the major critisisms of the former
Canadian Alliance Party was that it failed to pay attention to what the major
of Canadians were saying about government policy. Now the newly reorganised party,
the Conservative Party must look at what it did in the past and discover why
most voters east of Winnipeg simply did not agree with party platform.

 The search for
the truth surrounding 9-11 continues- Friday
April 2, 2004
by : Mario deSantis
Nipawin : This web site has expressed extreme concern
over the Government of the United States and its behaviour leading up to and after
the attack on September 11, 2001. Most of the truth is buried in attempts to blind
the voters of that country from what happened and it has taken a long time for a
commission to be established to even look into the problem. This story and its extensive
references gives you a chance to sort some of these issues out for yourself.

April 2, 2004
by : Timothy W. Shire

the same. For several centuries it seems the same old and pretty battered truck has
made the rounds collecting domestic garbage in Tisdale and today it has been replaced.
