 Doug Saunders of Globe and
Mail: A little bit of hypocrisy is good- Monday
June 14, 2004
by : Mario deSantis
Nipawin : Ronald
Reagan's death has brought back memories and the experiences of his two terms in
office, Saddam Hussein's buddy as he was called in the Asia Times today. All of this
brings us back to the present and the willingness we all have and seem to continue
to accept rather large doses of hypocrisy.

Cream- Wednesday
June 9, 2004
by : Timothy W. Shire

 The Hypocrisy of the Free
Market: Running public policies as private businesses,
the war in Iraq and health care in Canada- Wednesday
June 9, 2004
by : Mario deSantis
Nipawin : This
story makes the point that perhaps what is at the root of the seemingly endless trouble
we see occurring is the belief by leaders and the acceptance by the public that if
all things were run like businesses all would be well.
|

on truckin'- Wednesday
June 9, 2004
by : Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale : Those
big units are crucial to resource, agriculture and manufacturing and today we take

 Running
a personal server- Wednesday
June 9, 2004
by : John Smith
Personal servering is built into the operating system of Macintosh computers but
with a Windows machine you need to obtain the right software and assemble your server.
However, as John explains this is really worthwhile as it lets you move files to
and from your computer over the internet without resorting to e-mail. This story
has the links to get you started.

June 8, 2004
by : Michael Moore
Flint Michigan
: This web site has posted so many stories about the tragic events of September 11

 Ronald

June 7, 2004
by : Mark Weisbrot
Washington :
It was a turning point in history with both Britain and American lead by reactionary

was the enemy of ideas of freedom and democracy.
