 Servant Leadership and Common Sense versus
Selfish Leadership and Specific Clarity: The case of the demented Saskatchewan
Justice- Tuesday
January 20, 2004
by: Mario deSantis
Nipawin: The astonishing refusal of the Saskatchewan
Government to accept the overwhelming decision by the court on malicious prosecution
of the Klassen family really calls into question the whole point of government. The
ruling was completely and totally in favour of the Klassen family and the idea of
rule of law should be the guiding principle but apparently there is a lesson to be
learned here.

Tim's Tip of the Day
|
| The reason most of us are overweight is because we are constantly attempting to satisfy
our hunger. Despite the fact that we can get along as we are youhave to accept that
obescity is a deadly issue. It is not a matter of guilt, get after this problem,
seek counselling, exercise and avoid fast food joints. |
|
Kevin's find of the day
|
 Second 'Simple Life' in the Works at FOX.
Rick Porter of ZAP2it reports that there are plans for a second installment
of Paris Hilton's "simple Life". Kevin says "Not again. And
all that poor family got for their trouble was a new Durango [w/ Hemi]?! The suffering
they had to endure." |

 ERROR in "One Conservative

by: Joe Hueglin

 Interesting but useless- Friday
January 16, 2003
by: Cassandra Shire
Winnipeg: We have been told often enough that we now are in the "information
age" and there certainly is plenty of evidence of information "stuff"
cluttering up our world. Here is a list of some more "stuff", perhaps you
might find a use for some of it.

 A permanent target for the Air Farce chicken
cannon- Thursday
January 15, 2004
by: Bruce Frederick
Cobble Hill, B.C.: I can think of no other character
in political life who has been more of a let down and perhaps much worse than Peter
MacKay. Ah, some will point out the problems of Stockwell Day, yet they are minon
in comparison to the man that promises, signs and deal, kills a political party and
stays on as an example of bad judgement.

 Privatising Justice at the expense of
public interest: President Bush, Saskatchewan Justice Minister Frank
Quennel, Premier Berlusconi- Thursday
January 15, 2004
by: Mario deSantis
Nipawin: The equation that determines who is being served
by governmental action is something that so often seems much less apparent than it
should. The assumption that we have government and authority to serve and protect
the over all good for all people is so often discretionary and sadly sometimes just
plainly self serving by the elected official.

January 14, 2004
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale: Tuesday morning town waterworks people discovered
a chlorination unit on a well did not kick in and untreated water had pumped into
the system over night. As a result the boil water warning was issued and will not
be lifted until chlorine levels rise throughout the town water system.

 Despotism and the hypocrisy of the top
1% class: A game of lies at the expense of people at large- Wednesday
January 14, 2004
by: Mario deSantis
Nipawin: This story is just a brief summary of the research
that went into its conclusions. It is clear that there is something very rotten in
the republic to the South of us as the wealth of that nation is consolidating in
only the smallest minority of people. This is not just an American problem because
a similar trend is occuring here, it is simply unavoidable because of the integrated
economy that has evolved.
