 GPS surveying- Friday
May 14, 2004
by : Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale : New technology often becomes standard operating
methods simply because all of what it replaces can no longer compete with the accuracy
and speed of the invention. In this case a system for guiding Intercontinetal Balistic
Missiles works just as well directing a sprayer in a field or discovering where the
corner is of a town lot.

Tim's Tip of the Day
|
 In Sunday school the children's song "God sees a little sparrow fall
it meets his tender view" We have all, at some time, thought of the insignificance
of a mere sparrow, but be they a song sparrow, a white crowned one or what ever,
there are dozens of sparrow varieties in Saskatchewan each and every one of those
special creatures with whom we share this planet. |

May 13, 2004

 Bush’s God cannot win the
hearts and minds of the Iraqi people- Thursday
May 13, 2004
by : Mario deSantis
Nipawin : This
article is a summary of a series of articles and material that paints a very unfavourable
picture of our American neighbours. The Iraqi prison torture story is disturbing,
but even more disturbing is the death of an American in Iraq, which has the timing,
that suggests this was a sacrifice rather than execution, as it provides Americans
with justification for their war crimes.

 Who
runs Iraq?- Thursday
May 13, 2004
by : Kevin McIntyre
Carrot River :
Things don't add up, the torture of prisoners in Iraq, the attempted cover up of

for the Geneva Convention as demonstrated in their holding of more than 400 people
at a Cuban military concentration camp.

 Bush’s slippery slope: preemptive wars, violations of international law- Friday
May 7, 2004
by : Mario deSantis
Nipawin : There
is no feeling of victory in saying "we told you so" as you have read repeatedly
on this site about privatisation and the misuse of language. Torture is now
defined as "abuse" and one in every ten Americans in Iraq carrying
a gun, is a mercanary, there are more of them than British soldiers. Sadly, this
tragic and for want of a better term, "stupid" situation, must play out
as the United States has plodded its way while being warned, into a point of no return
and they have no exit plan.

 Lutheran

May 7, 2004
by : Timothy W. Shire
