Tim's Tip of the Day
|
 Sears Wish Book came out today
and after wandering through it I lingered on the toy section and discovered a bunch
of US military action figures. I was surprised to see that torture tools and
prison environments were not included with the combat training set. Interestingly
though, the only weapons of mass destruction were American which does hold
true with reality. |

 The
Lawyer- Wednesday
August 25, 2004
by : Joseph Toe
Sammamish, Washington
: It would be wonderful of issues that affect the people of the United States were
none of our concern but with the links in communication and the tendancy for political
concepts to float across the border, we have to pay attention. Reacting to a story
on attempts by the US federal government to restrict litigation Mr. Toe gives us
his perspective on the issue.

 Tragedy
in Russia touches us all- Wednesday
August 25, 2004
by : Timothy W. Shire

consider the consequences.

 Vetting Supreme
Court Judges- Wednesday
August 25, 2004
by : Brian Marlatt
White Rock, B.C. :The
basic concepts of the principles of Canadian law seem to be a bit beyond the members
of Her Majesty's Loyal Opposition. The Conservatives disdain for the Charter of Rights
and the importance of an independent judicary was made amazingly clear this week.

 Why is "Tobacco
the new currency of crime?"- Tuesday
August 24, 2004
by : Joe Hueglin
Niagara Falls, Ontario

sin taxes as some call them. The motive is good by the results predictable as Halifax

 Venezuela's
Referendum Should Be a Wake-Up Call for the United States- Friday
August 20, 2004
by : Mark Weisbrot
Washington :
The people of Venezuela have spoken and there will be echoes of their vote to endorse
their president Hugo Chavez Frais throughout Latin America. The United States must
accept the reality that its policies in this hemisphere are not winning friends.
|

of the public interview of President Bush with Tim Russert
- Friday
August 20, 2004

Absurd as it seems that NBC and the US president consider an interview as copyright
material. Mr. deSantis suggest that this is the mentality and attitude that presents
a serious threat to the people of this planet.

 Gira
Sole and a Racoon- Thursday
August 19, 2004
by : Mario & Romano deSantis
Prince Albert & Montreal : "Don't leave home without it!" No, we are
not talking about a credit card, but something far more valueable, your camera. Those
special once in a lifetime events can be shared with others if you have your camera
along. In this story Mario and his brother Romano had their cameras with them and
you get to experience the moment with them.
