 Bush’s God cannot win the
hearts and minds of the Iraqi people- Thursday
May 13, 2004
by : Mario deSantis
Nipawin : This
article is a summary of a series of articles and material that paints a very unfavourable
picture of our American neighbours. The Iraqi prison torture story is disturbing,
but even more disturbing is the death of an American in Iraq, which has the timing,
that suggests this was a sacrifice rather than execution, as it provides Americans
with justification for their war crimes.

Tim's Tip of the Day
|
 It really shouldn't have taken high fuel prices for us to realise that
the internal combustion engine is remarkably inefficient and it is only because of
cheap fuel that we have made so little effort to find more environmentally and less
costly sources of portable power. |
|
Kevin's find of the day
|
 Obesity Becoming
Major Global Problem This startling story by Emma Ross and Joseph
B. Verrengia discusses the fastest and most dangerous health threat. Obesity will
kill more people than all of the infectious diseases combined and is spreading to
every country in the world. |

Ensign Notes
|
| There is a chance that we will make it through the night without the temperature
falling below the freezing mark. Our garden got worked up today and Saturday has

 Who
runs Iraq?- Thursday
May 13, 2004
by : Kevin McIntyre
Carrot River :
Things don't add up, the torture of prisoners in Iraq, the attempted cover up of

for the Geneva Convention as demonstrated in their holding of more than 400 people
at a Cuban military concentration camp.

 Bush’s slippery slope: preemptive wars, violations of international law- Friday
May 7, 2004
by : Mario deSantis
Nipawin : There
is no feeling of victory in saying "we told you so" as you have read repeatedly
on this site about privatisation and the misuse of language. Torture is now
defined as "abuse" and one in every ten Americans in Iraq carrying
a gun, is a mercanary, there are more of them than British soldiers. Sadly, this
tragic and for want of a better term, "stupid" situation, must play out
as the United States has plodded its way while being warned, into a point of no return
and they have no exit plan.

 Lutheran

May 7, 2004
by : Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale : Just

 Experimental
Box- Thursday
May 6, 2004
by : John Smith
This is a hacker story as the author goes about creating a computer to try things
out. With spam and worms ravaging computers today we need very badly to explore these
weapons of mass computer destruction in an effort to protect our equipment. What
will be done with this computer you wouldn't want to do with a machine you depend
upon for everyday work.

We seem to be convinced of our abilities as a species yet this couple may be away
ahead of us, spend the winter
in the South, get to swin and bask in the sun all summer, never ever pay income tax
or endure reality TV shows.
