Liberty, Libertarians, Liberals and Collective Society: Confusing I with We, me with us.

“Freedom is just another word for...”  ? No, I am not asking you to finish the lyric from Me and Bobby McGee. I am asking that we be clear about political liberalism, economic liberalization, and personal freedom.

I want to argue that critics of the “neo-liberal agenda” of global capitalism are using words too loosely.  Attacking the corporate program by labeling it  “liberalization” is an imprecise way to frame what we dislike about our foes.

EDITORIAL: Vote tomorrow!!...if you really must

Tomorrow it's time for what we like to call...'democracy'. Vote! Your newspaper will exhort you. Vote! Your local candidate will tell you. Vote! Your mom will cry. It's your duty! It's your right! It's your privilege!

It's your funeral.

Whichever of the two mainstream parties wins tomorrow's election--the corporate-backed 'BC Liberals' or the union-backed NDP--nothing will change significantly.

LETTER: Taxes are about sharing

Dear Sir,

I couldn't believe my eyes. Your letter page contained a letter from someone who holds a position of power in a local cooperative. He wrote to raise the prospect of taxation as a spectre of fear and loathing against which all co-op members should raise standards, mount ramparts and prepare to repel raiding hordes of collectors who would reap the benefits of dividends from the grasp of co-op members.

Change

We are all as unique and as individual as God made us to be. We might all 'look alike' to some visitor from a galaxy far, far away, but each of us is aware, sometimes painfully so, of the characteristics that make us as different from one-another as is one grain of sand from its neighbour.

We’ve all either heard of or personally experienced the Boomerang Generation, where children we thought we had successfully launched into the world return to our family homes, usually for economic reasons.
