    I’m from South Dakota, from an area where there were not many jobs. I went through school believing that you got to be part of something bigger than yourself. I was also looking for structure and a sense of (…)

    I live in Canada where the government is about to collapse because of corruption.
    I see in Britain that it is almost certain that Blair lied about Iraq.
    I look to Washington and am revolted.
    Is democracy dying?If not,from where will the leadership with World vision come?

    Lawyers Against The War Are After Bush Norman (Otis) Richmond April 07, 2005
    Canadians are no better or no worse than any other people. They have been on the right and wrong sides of history. Like every other nation Canada has produced revolutionaries, working class heroes, buffoons and idiots.
    Canadian Prime Minister Paul Martin was forced to take the correct position on missile defense by refusing to back U.S. President George W. Bush. At the same time Canada has come up short on the (…)

Bush has created an atmosphere of unparalleled distrust toward the United States as people from places around the globe now shudder when he makes increasingly frequent declarations about his "vision" for the world.

    It’s now clear how the Bush administration sees things: Canadian sovereignty exists only at its pleasure. If we do what Washington wants, we retain our sovereignty. If we don’t, all bets are off.
    This is what U.S. ambassador Paul Cellucci clarified last week in his angered response to Paul Martin’s announcement that Canada won’t join the U.S. missile defence scheme. Cellucci noted that Washington would simply deploy its anti-missile system over Canadian airspace anyway, and expressed (…)

Schumacher’s "Small is Beautiful: Economics as if People Mattered" that we have GOT to geta grip on the economic "matrix" where growers can’t afford to GROW organically but they are happy if they can BUY organic.

    This whole business paradigm we’ve been forced to live under HAS GOT TO CHANGE! Money/profit is NOT the measure of all things and we’d better start taking LIFE (…)
