Tim's Tip of the Day
|
 Human life seems so much to be a journey through a series
of portals, infancy, childhood, adolescence, maturity, middle age, senior, yet through
out all of these period we are faced with many of the same challenges only with a
slightly different perspective. It is our responsiblity to meld these portals together
so that we all in turn help, support and respect all and each of us as we conduct
our journey. |

 The Empty Land- Tuesday
March 30, 2004
by : Edwin Wallace
Success : When Europeans settled Saskatchewan they homesteaded
in many areas a family on every quarter section so that the province once had a population
of 2,000,000 people but now there are less than one million so the deer, antelope
and moose are simply moving back onto the empty land where there are few preditors
and no people.

 Bush’s ‘permanent
tax cuts’ are creating bullish bubbles: Low interest rates and budget
deficits- Friday
March 25, 2004
by : Mario deSantis
Nipawin : A towering catastrophy is not something built
in a short while but accummulates its instability until band aids and duct tape will
no longer hold together what is essentially an unstable structure. The United States
economy is based on the mass of its size and ignoring warnings low interest rates,
tax cuts for the wealthy and a growing massive trade deficit are compounding to produce
inherent instability that when it collapses will devastate the world economy.

March 25, 2004
by : Mahmood Elahi

 A demented mentality
and changing the Saskatoon Police Service: Cheers for social activist
Sheila Steele and police chief Russel Sabo- Tuesday
March 23, 2004
by : Mario deSantis
Nipawin : The use of the term "demented" is
not to slur mental health issues but rather to describe a way of thinking that would
not be considered sane. It is very important to realise that the courts define sanity
as having an understanding of the rightness or wrongness of an act. It appears that
many decisions are made today as though there were no right or wrong and certainly
no awareness of those conditions.
