  1. The burden of proving interference has to fall on someone able to shoulder it.
  2. For all the time when honor was a preeminent western value, adulthood arrived sooner for children than what is the case nowadays.
  3. A Canadian student working on a degree in political science in California the day an election is held in Canada certainly corresponds to your characterization.
  4. But Canada doesn't send oil to be sold bellow the world price, like what was doing Chavez.
  5. Just like radiowaves, carbon and all other emissions should be allowed by public authorities through auctions (i.e. taxation).
  6. Western movies is still very much part of our proud heritage.
  7. If I would be a Canadian physician, I would consider going to work in the US for the very same reasons that pushed Hugo Chavez to send to poor Americans some of Venezuela oil. http://www.upi.com/Top_News/2006/01/12/Ven...90901137126295/
  8. What if one goes voting only because s/he is bored at home!?
  9. Not at all, we only have to assume that emissions exceed the property limits of what is owned by their emitters.
  10. British textile workers used to be infant slaves because they had tinier hands and better eyesights than adults.
  11. Honor killing is not very different from what westerners have known as duel.
  12. By participating seriously to this topic.
  13. Preventing undue influence is indeed, I think, a good reason to put restrictions on media polls publication. To understand why, one has however to understand that democracy is fundamentally a dividing process, not a unifying process. Poll results convey democratically-worthy information only if voters know the importance of voting strategically. Polls done to help existing political parties to gather enough voters behind them should remain a private matter.
  14. I wrote it was a good idea.
  15. Reducing the rest of the world to Jews and Arabs is narrow.
  16. These developments should be accepted with a carbon/pollution tax.
  17. Learn more about Stone Age economics: http://books.google.ca/books?id=cg_bTbrdf2...lt&resnum=1
  18. You will be accused of searching to limit freedom of information. Perhaps it can be done but only by invoking a superior imperative.
  19. About you not replying seriously to my posts!?
  20. This is like blaming coffee for containing caffeine!
  21. With Potlatch for too long forgotten, global warming is now at the top of the scale.
  22. He lets us know his prejudice.
