Ian, The Centre for Policy Alternatives statements have to be taken with a grain of salt, typically. They are the opposite of the Canadian Taxpayer Federation, another group that is driven by ideology - thus, I take their statements too, with a grain of salt. The CD Howe Institute regularly provides more reliable information than those two organizations. The Wardie, <TABLE cellpadding=8 width="95%" align=center bgColor=#
I know you might not want to hear this, but researchers have found that about 20% of babies are "inconsolable" at various times. They are attempting to name this as a syndrome called "blue baby" (I believe), so that parents realize this can be normal and don't end up doing the "shaken baby syndrome" thing. Put her in the other room if you desperately need a break. Be assured, that she'll survive. The other good thing is earplugs - but only
O.G. I can't tell you how many times I've had that same sinking feeling (feet playing hide and seek). Too many new houses I've had to measure, after the subdivision has been sucessfully denuded of all vegetation. Invariably, rains come and voila: mud up to my ankles ...
can someone delete my double post please thanks
They are far more neutral "I agree with the film. Moore represents my political position." -- Roger Ebert. I should have used the word vitorolic as I did in a different post, rather than neutral. Everyone has a point of view ...
OK, there's at least two ways to think about this. One, (and this appeals to me on the surface), the CEO's 2K is much better than the eight hours of labor. Everybody gets more - and you can also say her intentions are good (otherwise she wouldn't donate the money). So here, we have good intentions and good results. Of course, she could be doing it only so others think good of her, and we have good results, dubious intentions. IN either case,
I offer up, for consideration in your grey matter, several reviews from well known sources ... Here are a couple of other less lengthy movie reviews, from well-known sources: Roger Ebert Reviews F911 Link Link Time Magazine reviews F911 Link Link BBC
The middle east is just such a mess. And they have no one to blame but themselves. An apathetic population has allowed gangsterism to take over. While that is technically true, it's hard to stand up to bullies - otherwise, inner-city and criminal gangs wouldn't flourish in many parts of the U.S. and e
Brad, of course the plaques are nice in life, but I suspect you don't define yourself by them. In any case, congratulations - effort and excellence should always be celebrated. Oh, and happy belated Father's Day. Jay
I'm going to talk to the First Sgt tomorrow morning. I'm done with this. They did something like this to someone else last year, and now they've started on me. Sounds like you're going in the right direction. Remember that Thomas Jefferson said one person with courage is a majority. You are the majori
MasonM, Yes, in my current situation, I have to deal with many upset people. I think you've hit on the three most important keys: 1. Listen, listen and listen some more; 2. Ask questions - it shows you're interested in their situation, and; 3. Empathize. That's it - but many people, as your story goes, don't really bother to do that. Kudos to you - it's people like you that make the world a little bit of a nicer place
I remember seeing, Wayne W. Dyer Ph.D., renouned author on TV, telling a storey relating to a mentally handicapped child. "How was his son perfect?" the father was asking God. After a time, the father arrived at his own answer - his son was perfect in the reactions that people had to them, adjusting their own thoughts and expectations. One day, I might tell you a fascinating storey my sister told me about a Down's syndrome person. An incred

Having recently completed a post about homosexuality and homophobia, all's I can say is I notice there's an undue fascination with butts in your posting! (PS - Yes, that's humor, in case you felt your masculinity challenged ... ... again) Jay</f
Aye, "Ronnie" cured the apathy of the American people to think they were doomed to a substandard existence ... I think that part of what he brought to the table was this .. "Apathy can be overcome by enthusiasm, and enthusiasm can only be aroused by two things: first, an ideal, with takes the imagination by storm, and second, a definite intelligible plan for carrying that ideal into practice." - Arnold Toynbee He cer
OK so I'm wrong on who armed Iraq. I concede that. Ithaycu: Many of these countries are "obscure". They remain obscure, no matter what their viewpoints. Eritrea, population 4.3 million Estonia, populatin 1.4 million Micronesia, population 108,000 Marshall Islands, population 56,427 Tongo, pop 108,000 Palau, pop 19,717 etc, etc. Let's be realistic about whether this was effectively a unilater
Dragger, "The governments of France and Germany were also against the D-Day landings as well. Luckily we didn't take their views too seriously then either." You now venture into the inane with comments like this. Have fun! BakerStreet regarding your comment ... "...and popular opinion in the UN allowed them to completely drop sanctions against Iraq?" That wasn't the way it was heading, and I don't t
