Kevin's find of the day
|
 Selling you a new past. The
British publication, The Independent published an article on Tuesday that is troubling
to say the very least. Advertisers have discovered that they can alter your perception
of the use of a product so that even if you didn't like it you will think it was
good. The concept is called "Memory Morphing" and there is a good chance
it has already been in use for some time. |

 The Free Market needs restructuring and
Conventional Economists need a new mind: People before Money, Employment
before GDP- Friday
October 24, 2003
by: Mario deSantis
Nipawin: Throughout the world the economic situation
for all developing countries has been a failure for the past twenty years, since

exception, China. This very well researched article with its references exposes the
deep set cause for so much resentment and hostility toward the world's only remaining
superpower.

 A decade of taxpayer abuse
… from politicians and bureaucrats alike- Tuesday
October 21, 2003
by: Walter Robinson
Ottawa: What is most objectionable about the present
government has been its bold dishonesty about the reasons it collected taxes and
what it did with the money. This story lists the violatons of public trust and suggests
that Paul Martin is likely to follow this same trend for indeed it was he that carried
out most of the deception in the past.

 Wasn't this province down that very road?- Tuesday
October 21, 2003
by:: Joyce Neufeld
Waldeck: Never ask a weatherman about the predictions
he made yesterday about today's weather. Politicians have counted on the public thinking
in terms of weather rather than consequences of bad government and Joyce Neufeld
provides us with a quick recall of the last time election promises like the ones
we are hearing this year were made and we are still paying for the tax cuts and corporate
give-aways of a decade ago.

borrowed images from various news sources taken yesterday and some outstanding references
that document the story.
