Tim's Tip of the Day
|
| Child pornography, no matter where it is made, or who has it, is a serious crime.
Even SPAM e-mail advertising it needs to be reported to the RCMP. If something comes
your way go the RCMP's Cybertip.ca website
and tell them what you know. Fighting this crime takes a huge coordinated effort
between the public, world police agencies and the willingness to prosecute. |

Kevin's find of the day
|
 Body lay in house for year (PDF)
This Skynews story tells of an eccentric
sister who shared a room with her dead sister for eighteen months in their western
Ireland home and her brother shared the same house and didn't know of his sister's
demise. An inquest

 membership, constitution, who cares!- Wednesday

 Have governments reduced their citizens
to Doublethinkers?- Wednesday
February 18, 2004
by : Mario deSantis
Nipawin : The frightening reality is that Orwellian thought, so much a part of the
1930s, that George Orwell dramatised in his novel 1984, seems like the environment
of today. War is peace, freedom is slavery and as this story points out the power
of "doublethink" is becoming common place.

February 14, 2004
by: Mario deSantis
Nipawin : Living in the approach of World War II George
Orwell wrote about a frightening world where the official line was accepted even
thinking against the government was a crime. As thing seem to spin further and further
beyond what could possibly considered a real world it looks an awful lot like the
world George Orwell was describing in his novel.
