Ok, I think I’m beginning to catch on. This is a bit like the question of whether a corporation is or can be moral. Leadership, either...
I think more Canadians are pot pipe people than crack pot people, but I don’t do any of that stuff anyway so it makes no difference to me. ;)
I’m really not following your issue here rhester. I think there are two key points that need to be stressed here. 1) Neither a government nor...
I don’t believe that people are intentionally skirting your issue. I for one am not yet sure I’m grasping the core questions that you’re asking....
Good post. I concur. :)
You consider thinking a silly game do you?? Well I’m glad a neocon has finally come out and said it. You think you should be able to just do...

Those who don’t learn from history are doomed to repeat it, right? And isn’t that in large part the cause of what’s happening now in Iraq, people...
For me progressive thinking is thinking that considers different viewpoints and synthesizes the valid concerns of different sides into a new...
I think there has been some dissent and I’m sure there will be more. I’ve never been to Prince Rupert so I’m not sure what they have there, but...
There is currently a 225,000 bpd pipeline that goes to Vancouver, and some facilites just south of the line in Washington state, from Edmonton....
The pipeline would carry twice that, though, 400,000 bpd, half of which is PetroChina’s share. And I consider this a start. And I believe that...
