A Better World
i am going to suggest a few simple (perhaps oversimplified) notes on this from my own experiences and imho. What is a better world? A better world is a place where everyone understands both their own needs, and others needs, and respects both equally. (easy to say, hard to do) A better world is a… Continue reading A Better World
We the people ….. Ronald Reagan… and a Canadian response
This is the best short, clear explanation for the rationale behind our governmental structure laid out in the Constitution, as only Justice Scalia can do. credit to Jim Janzen for the original post.The challenge is when all branches have been subverted and collude against us, the people...“Government is the people's business, and every man, woman,… Continue reading We the people …..

Yuri Bezmenov
"Also unclear were the group’s long-term plans involving the U.S. One glimpse, however, comes from a former KGB agent named Yuri Alexandrovich Bezmenov, who defected to Canada in 1970.

Our level of existence and its impact on society
Levels of existence: (Which one are we practising?) 1. Gathering sustenance to survive, regardless of anyone else. (Doing whatever the f*ck i want) 2. Sharing with others because we might need their help some day too. 3. Considering other folks, and treating them the way we want to be treated.

Discussions on what a truly Multi-Cultural Society would look like.
