Manufacturing truths out of hypothesises and out of duplicities
Monday
February 2, 2004
by: Mario deSantis
Nipawin: Logic is an unforgiving thing and we are being asked to forego logic so that new situations do not make the past the lie that it most surely was. If there were no weapons of mass destruction then what possible reason was there for a war with Iraq. It is now established, there were no such weapons.

Foiled
Tuesday
February 3, 2004
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale : We have a tendence to believe, quite incorrectly by the way, "that things in nature are without malace or evil intent. Like other animals birds are thought to just respond to their instincts and live their lives as they were designed to do." That concept is a myth. Waxwings are evil, they harbour vandalistic thoughts toward me, my camera and especially my van. Not only do they resent me, but they pass on their dislike from generation to generation. This is not paranoia it is evidence based bias on my part and theirs.

Nothing But Junk Food Left For Political Junkies On The Right?
Tuesday
February 3, 2004
by: Ron Thornton
Edmonton: The members of the former Progressive Conservative party consider the melding of their party and the Alliance as a hostile take over, Stephen Harper is seen as an Albertan, Tony Clement, the former Ontario Health Minister who is best known for the failure of Ontario's ability to handle the SARs outbreak and a thirty-seven year old twice divorced millionairess, Belinda Stronach, who certainly knows business, are the candidates for the new Conservative party. Its fair to guess that Paul Martin has nothing to fear.
Bush orders intelligence inquiry: a cover up on top of another and of another…
Wednesday
February 4, 2004
by: Mario deSantis
Nipawin : There is no surprise that Americans are about to look a little deeper into the actions of their government as it relates the Iraq War and the attempt to blame it on faulty intelligence is the latest gamble to deflect the hard and serious finger pointing that is going on as the United States is into its election year.
Cadillac, the winter of 2003 - 2004
Wednesday
February 4, 2004

Bush’s Machiavellian democracy in Iraq and an extravagant American economy
Thursday
February 5, 2004
by: Mario deSantis
Nipawin: It seems impossible for the American dream to have much of a future as the simple logic that Free Market and democracy are incompatible concepts.
