 One condition
for world social and economic growth: The United Sates must learn from
the principle "give more, take less"- Thursday
January 22, 2004
by: Mario deSantis
Nipawin: It is a pretty long stretch to imagine the
United States acting as former Prime Minister Chretien once suggested "be nice".
But this story suggests that the country that most threatens peace on the planet
has to re-evaluate its behaviour if things are going to improve. Martin Luther King
was murdered in that country but he was leading at the time of his death a crusade
to make the changes needed.

Tim's Tip of the Day
|
| The nature of computer technology combined with our increased reliance upon data
processed by our equipment means that ultimately we are all on thin ice unless we
have an operational system to routinely back things up. Hard drives and operating
systems fail so don't put this issue off the cost of a back up system is a fraction
of the cost of losing your stuff. |

Kevin's find of the day
|
 Locked up for eBay spree.
(pdf) Kevin O'Connor of the Regina Leader Post reports that former
Regina high school principal and teacher John Wasmann will serve two years in jail
for selling $600,000 in stolen goods. |

Ensign Notes
|
| There is a serious chill all across Canada today following the raid by the RCMP on
an Ottawa report's home and office(Julliet O'Neill). Telling the truth may no longer

 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.

January 16, 2003
