Some BC schools are getting the junk food out of the students systems. The issue is that it was causing behavioral problems and lower marks, weighed against the revenue that the vending machines and canteens brought in, often to cover the school's various expenses. Of all the work...

http://tinyurl.com/ey4zx There was a lot that was not reported pre-Iraq invasion, and about 9-11 [why DID bldg. 7 fall down?]. And on global warming. They knew, and they silenced the science. These two "top stories" of the modern era were undoubtedly shaped by the media rather than by...

This is half-time, and Eskies are whippin' the BC lions 21 to 3. I was so sure the Lions would start Casey Printers after last year. Buono has given the nod to Dickenson again, but this time it backfired, so far. HA!1 I see most people would have started Dickenson, but I am different in...

http://tinyurl.com/c534y I have wondered how individuals in the USA military are feeling. They are "giving their lives" over issues that are not "greater than life itself", in fact it is looking more and more like they are willing to die for simple greed and power brokering...

on the fourth Friday of November each year, Buy Nothing Day [BND] is for people to reflect on rampant consumerism and its fallout. We have been brainwashed, to a degree, to have a hard-on for shopping. It becomes an obsession, we get a certain "high" when we whip out our....wallets , and...

k - ya, this is bad eh? - evidence* points to GMO foods as being dangerous to our health, and scientists who speak out about that danger are being silenced. I see that as another way to create both illness and profits, and profits from the illness{which is worth 100s of BILLIONS or dollars...

It is a simple concept - don't tell me what to do and I won't make demands on you either. We agree to live within the bounds of moral conduct, don't steal from each other, respect our personal space, etc etc - this is basic stuff too, stuff we knew as toddlers. A social contract of sorts...

We could have a whole forum on looking at what freedom is. This isn't something where facts and details will be important, but real idea of what is important in your life, to you. Many don't mind being told where to live and what to do if they have personal freedoms part of the day... is it...

In the Indian reservations and in BC schools and communties, E-Coli is finding its way into drinking water and our intestines. It is a nasty bug to deal with, esp if you are allready weak or ill. There is a solution that is being ignored - OXYGEN. IN the form of Hydrogen Peroxide [H2O2]...
