Taxes are there to enable the state (in this case, the province) to provide necessary services to its citizens such as health and security. Certain social programs that allow citizens who are disabled or elderly to live in some measure of comfort and care are also an important part of taxes. Taxes themselves are not evil, but when political leaders abuse their positions of power to the

I don't know much about Morgan Freeman's political views, though you can bet I'm going to look into more now. Why? His view of the world is completely colour blind. What he says here is completely and totally true.

Notice I say freedoms and not rights. You are born with rights. Your freedom is what can be taken away.Anyway, back to the task at hand, I find this story about how Swedish Viking women gained their rights to be the... well, there is no word that can accurately describe just how AWESOME what these women did was.Life as a Viking woman was pretty hard.

I have to withdraw my previous conclusion that Neville Chamberlain was evil. Naive, but not evil. In real world consequences, intentions do not matter, that hasn't changed. However, consequences and actions are only the larger part of what determines evil. Intentions can be taken into consideration, even though they play only a minor role.Intentions must be taken into consideration when there is

Good. Evil. Both exist. History is filled with examples of both. You cannot deny that Adolf Hitler and Joseph Stalin were evil. You also cannot deny that your average person is good, though not perfect. Neither the perfect good, nor the perfect evil, has ever existed in a purely mortal form. I will not discuss the metaphysical or religious belief.But we can label the greatest evil known in the his

I just read an article in the Independent that claims we have the duty to torture when innocent lives are at stake.This is a major moral dilemma. Do you sacrifice the rights of the individual to protect the whole? That's a socialist ideal. At the same time, in the war on terror, if we don't sacrifice the rights of the individual and protect the whole, then there is no individual. If the whole is

James Lawton of The Independent is getting on his high-horse and blaming the Canadian luge team hogging practice time for having caused Nodar Kumaritashvili's death. He claims Kumaritashvili had only 26 practice runs compared to the Canadians who had over 200 and that this consituted an unfair advantage. Obviously, the Canadians were going to have easier access to the facility and have the opport

Pick any movie except for horror. What do they all have in common? The good guy always wins. Even in horror movies, the good guy usually wins.Its common, its predictable, and now its boring.

The offensive in Helmand province codenamed Operation Moshtarak is proving successful according to the Canadian Forces. Apparently, the Taliban are not offering any resistance at all either. This is great for the fact that no casualties are being inflicted upon our troops but it also makes you question what the Taliban is going to do. They certainly will not let this go on with some sort of retali

The agony of waiting for the games to begin is over and its time to showcase our great country to the world and cheer our athletes to victory.

The Tea Party Movement in the United States is a grassroots effort to retake America from the "progressives" who wish America had never come into existence. A new Anti-Tea Party movement is claiming to be grassroots, but in reality is no such thing.A seemingly grassroots organization that's mounted an online campaign to counter the tea party movement is actually the front end of an elaborate sc

Toyota must be rather embarrassed. Millions of vehicles have been recalled, and now over 400,000 hybrids are being recalled.I've been saying it for a while. Buy Ford. Ford is the only domestic auto maker making money right now, so the chance of GM or Chrysler pulling through in the long run is slim at this point. The foreign vehicles can be very well built, but you pay much more up front. I've d

Whatever empathy I may have had for local TV stations has completely evaporated.
