  A big "thank you" to everyone here

  by Simon in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  in the past i have sometimes felt like i have to be the 'bad guy', so to speak, because i need to lock or delete topics, deactivate people, try and stop fights and such like - basically, telling people off and not being 'nice'.. well, apart from the odd heated debate and harsh word (and disruptive 'visit') i have not really had a great deal to do for the past month or two and it has been very nice - a pleasure to serve.. so ... i thought i should say a 'thank you' instead of a "stop it!

  " for once

  Is Collective Resignation Possible?

  by metatron in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  we all have heard the cliche's about denial and the process.

  that it is reputed to begin.. first, a person vigorously denies that something is true.. after some bargaining with god or other improbable attempts.

  at escaping fate, the person becomes resigned to the inevitable.

  I can't see this ever happening as long as there is still a cash flow.

  A View From Soviet Canada

  for those of you in other countries who have the mistaken belief that the canadian political scene is fair and just let me explain about what is happening in my home province of ontario at this time.. our provincial government is in the process of derugulating the hydro industry.

  at present this has only affected the distribution network.

  the government wants to sell the production facilities.

  My problem with this whole situation isn't the actual sale of hydro,
  it's the governments arrogance in ignoring a court order. I actually agree with you about why shouldn't the government be allowed to sell an asset, but could you imagine the chaos if we were all allowed to enact legislation to avoid court decisions. My whole point is that in a just society, judicial decisions must be respected by all members of society, including the legislative branch.
  If this were a mere technicality, due to the wording of the original legislation; why wasn't it cleared up before it went to trial instead of wasting valuable court time.
  I am aware that this has nothing to do with jw's, but lots of posts here don't. Sometimes this is just a place to vent certain frustrations.

  Sunday movie, "Living with the Dead"

  by Mulan in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i thought someone would post about the movie last sunday, (part 2 tonight, tuesday) "living with the dead", starring ted danson.

  it is the story of james van pragh, the psychic who sees dead people.

  it reminded me a little of "the sixth sense", especially when he was a little boy.. did anyone else see it?

  I enjoyed it but it didn't come anywhere near the 6th Sense.

  What kind of music do you listen to?

  by Leander in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i'm a music junkie, i like pretty much all types of music.

  but in particular i would have to say jazz is my favorite, but not the watered down kenny g style of jazz.

  i prefer the straight ahead, hard bop type of jazz.. lately i've been really getting into psychedelia rock.

  Our provincial government is in the process of derugulating the hydro industry. At present this has only affected the distribution network. The government wants to sell the production facilities. The union took the government to court to prevent this. The union won. The court found that the government does not have the authority to sell these assets.
  So what does the government do? Instead of accepting the courts ruling, or following acceptable legal practice by filing an appeal: the government is drafting legislation that will allow them to go ahead with the sale. This is not only arrogant, but smells like totalitarianism. Any other member of society is bound by a court's ruling, however our legislative assembly feels because it creates laws it is not to be bound by the law.
  In a nutshell, that is what is wrong with the Canadian system. With all the checks and balances in the U.S. system, it would be hard for crap like this to happen. In Canada, our only recourse is to wait until the next election, but our elections always come down to what shade of red you really want; or wether to vote for Larry, Curly or Moe.
