ok then move along.....

I just want the state to remain out of the hands of any church. I want to protect my rights.

I suppose Harper is going to have to come out of the evangelical Christian closet sooner or later. How else does he expect to achieve majority government? Look at what the evangelical Christians did for the Republican Party. Ronald Reagan spotted the opportunity and jumped on it. And, the...

The Canadian detainee issue that our current government claims to be a non issue appears to be very much an issue as the truth unfolds. I suspect that many Canadians don't want our good name to be dragged into the murky waters of torture but if so they would want the issue dealt with and not...

Speaking of the Canadian consequences now......................... http://www.globalresearch.ca/index.php?context=va&aid=12007 This article is worth wading through.

"To be, or not to be: that is the question: Whether "tis nobler in the mind to suffer The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, Or to take arms against a sea of troubles, And by opposing end them." Shakespeare In the end it's all about Karma ain't it. What goes around comes around.

When the fraud puts the economic life of most citizens in jeopardy it goes beyond a wrist slapping/buyers beware scenario and I would think the average Joe recognizes this. Certainly our children who will have to pay for the bailouts, out of their future earnings, will. The corruption is wide...

Clinton bombed the "camps" in Afghanistan. It's no secret. Sadly the plans for war didn't include any meaningful plan. Reconstruction, bringing democracy to the Afghans and fighting a war at the same time was the plan.......how's it going? IT'S A VERY COSTLY MESS. LOOK HOW MANY KIDS ARE DEAD...

Goldman Sachs lawsuit / Wall Street's latest lesson in cynicism By Dafna Maor The accusations against Goldman Sachs are an incredible lesson showing that in everything that has to do with profits and money, the incredible is always possible. On Friday, the U.S. Securities and Exchange...

Apparently our military heads including Hillier had no idea what the right option would be. They sent prisons of war to be tortured by the Afghanis, closed their eyes to any proof of torture and then pretended to give a shit after the fact.. It's not like our military and government have not...

"The Geneva Conventions make it a war crime to transfer prisoners to those who would abuse them, and oblige the detaining power to recover transferred prisoners if they are being abused." There is no "way" to peace, peace is the "way".

I am active in the community and I utilize my freedom of speech. I live here for reasons and I am quite sure once those reasons disappear I will move but that is not how I deal with racism and dumb people, I don't run.

"Champ is the lawyer at the centre of several investigations into the alleged abuse of Afghan detainees. He said the NDS can't be trusted with detainees transferred into its custody by Canadian soldiers, and the harper Conservative minority government is well aware of this. "Make no mistake...

Remember how our government and Nato sold this war to us? "The package never was "helping democracy and women's rights". That was just the wrapping that held it all together. There is no democracy in Afghanistan or any inclination towards it but a propping up of misogynist warlords and tribal...

They push Asian people into the lake as they fish up here and call it nipper dipping, that is fact, with court transcripts to prove it if you care to debate it. That is pretty dumb! Do I want them to love me? Nope.

You are wrong,I live in a small rural farming community. I know how dumb people can be. Most of them don't vote either I suspect. They appear to be satisfied that their kids work at Walmart too.

old house

Hillier has some explaining to do about the war prisoner transfer process he signed in Afghanistan.

"Everything about this war feels wrong. Entered for political, not security reasons. Unclear in its objectives. Did we enter because of Al Qaeda or the Taliban? Were the latter a threat to Canada or just obnoxious? When would we know we had accomplished our objectives. If the war was worth...
