Tim's Tip of the Day
|
| I often feel uncomfortable about the obession that permiates the media which seems
dedicated to the top and only the top nothing but the top. The movers and shakers
of society are rarely if ever the most talked about, most popular or even the most
powerful. If you want to understand society you must come to the realisation that
the shape of a society is created and maintained by the creative, the artists, writers,
musicians, designers and intellectuals with the ability to successfully communicate. |

Kevin's find of the day
|
 Fertile women rate other women as uglier
(PDF) Shaoni Bhattacharya tells this remarkable story in New Scientist that a
woman's perception of her peers is extremely affected by her fertility cycle. The
findings of this study have some very powerful and important discovers as to the
power of hermones on normal people in every day situations. |

 They just didn't
nab him!- Friday
February 20, 2004
by: Edwin Wallace
Success : How soon we all forget. The years that
followed Grant Devine's defeat were years where the main Saskatchewan news stories
dealt with the latest criminal investigation of yet another member of the Devine
government. The kingpin of those cases was that of Deputy Premier Eric Bernsten.
Though Grant Devine was never officially implicated, as with the scandal in Quebec
of the Liberal's making, also begs the question, as to how could such things be going
on and the boss not knowing about it?

 Grassroots mowed down- Friday
February 20, 2004
by: Joe Hueglin
Niagara Falls : The Conservative Party's Interim Committee
chairperson Don Plett says that the committee wants to keep the party "pure".
Seems like the Reform/Alliance/Conservatives have held to their principles all along.
Stephen Harper was a declared Alberta Separatist who is seeking the
leadership of the party, Grant Devine is one of Canadians politicians who fought
and stood for Canadian Unity.

 Bush’s tax cuts:
a reductionist economic policy for a reductionist thinker- Friday
February 20, 2004
by : Mario deSantis
Nipawin : What is so hard to confront is the realisation
that if we listen to what the US president and his government say it not only doesn't
add up it doesn't make any sense either.

February 19, 2004

everyday.- Thursday
February 19, 2004
by : Randy Kubik

 membership, constitution, who cares!- Wednesday
February 18, 2004
by : Ken Richardson
Bella Bella : The way the Conservative party was fashioned
seems to be right in step with the Liberal's conduct in Quebec. Rules and democracy
were and are simply ignored.

 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.
