  wife judy and brother-in-law and sister-in-law and i are squeezing into our buick and heading north.

  We recently visited Quebec city and no-one would speak English to us. All four people in our group said it was our last visit there. But on such a trip there is so much to see. I agree with other posters that have mentioned sites in the eastern provinces and Ontario. Niagara Falls is a must as there is so much to see and do. Also Banff and Jasper are beautiful in the summer. Happy Holidays and have a safe trip.

  Is it time to Reconsider Nuclear Power? Article re: Stewart Brand, and more

  by Seeker4 in

  http://www.peoplesvoicemagazine.com/.

  above is a link to an article i just wrote on the movement among some environmentalists to reconsider nuclear energy, focusing in particular on stewart brand, the futurist, author, entrepeneur and genius who created the whole earth catalog, the well, and lots of other extremely cool stuff.

  click on the link and then click on the main feature at the top of the page, where it mentions brand.. brand is also a scientist, and is basing his change of view about nuclear power on reason and science as opposed to the romantic emotionalism of much of the environmental movement.. this is a huge change in the focus of some environmentalists and is creating quite a stir.

  I have to agree with wanderer: Do you really know how much waste this produces. It is great.

  Where I live there is a company that produces the tanks that contain this nuclear waste. Do you know where they are stored. What happens if a hundred years down the line these tanks start to rust and break up. If this happens our great lakes will be polluted with radio-active pollution. I've seen them made and know that this can happen.

  What would you recommend to Memorial Lurkers?

  by AK - Jeff in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  this is your chance to give some advice to lurkers who may need the courage to push the envelope.. my advice; read raymond franz's books, crisis of conscience and in search of christian freedom.. raymond is not the frothing-at-the-mouth rabid apostate you have been lead to believe he is.

  Br. Apostate. You mention a Br.Archibald was this back in the seventies. We had a C.O. by that name and he got killed in a head on collision. I wonder if it is the same guy.

  Hang in there sparkplug... the wife and I know exactly what you are going through. We had her mother for five years and the description sounds the same. She would spend the whole night yelling out my wife's name loud enough for the next door neighbors to hear her. Hope you have better days ahead. Really consider the home, my wife promised her father that she would not put her in a home which really is not fair..(((((((hugs to you)))))).
