Tim's Tip of the Day
|
| The biggest problem we have is conceiving the idea of "infinite". Not only
is the concept hard to place in the quantifying realm but the whole idea of something
being limitless defies all logic. In actual fact nothing is truly infinite, only
bigger than the mathematics we have to describe that condition. |
|
Kevin's find of the day
|
 Saudis 'fear sand shortage'.
This BBC story explains that Saudi Arabia actually has a huge demand for sand and
it is expensive to get to market. So, there goes another myth. |

November 6, 2003

within Tory ranks.

November 6, 2003
by: Mario deSantis
Nipawin: Ontario and Alberta have private insurance,
astronomical rates and governments determined to reduce coverage to protect the motorist

Chenes- Wednesday

the historical church in the small rural community now badly in need of restoration

 Michel Chossudovsky discerns the trees
from the forest: The state is financing its own indebtedness- Tuessday
November 4, 2003
by: Mario deSantis
Nipawin: A loop develops whereby the financial industry and industry itself begins
to hold the debt of the government and so holds the governmental structures accountable
to their interests. This twist in democracy explains the politicians inclination
to serve business rather than voters.
