I’ve heard it said by those in the Green Party that we are quite happy when the other Parties steal our ideas, because there’s a better chance for implementation. It’s in that spirit that I wish to share with you the following idea with you. I hope that you will steal this idea, run with it, and turn it into a reality.

Question: Is it a sound financial strategy for governments to “spend like there’s no tomorrow” if “tomorrow” is never going to come? In other words, why not accumulate massive debts if we know that there won’t be anyone left around to repay these debts to, or at least anyone who we’ll allow to try to collect them?

On Sunday John posted a blog putting forward that the GPO might leaning too far to the "blue-green" side and suggested we move a bit back towards "tree-hugging". I think his point is important, we need do distinguish ourselves from our competition. In an effort to ensure that we are taken seriously and not simply written off as the granola-munching fringe we have perhaps made ourselves look ...

I should be getting my yellow belt tonight (Wait there's no yellow belts in jiu-jitsu! There is in Can-Ryu. Ah, OK.) and I'm pretty excited. I had my test last Wednesday and it went well. Not a whole lot to it, just various break falls, stances, hold escapes, strikes and a few other techniques.

It occurred to me the other day that the next April 22 will be the fortieth anniversary of Earth Day. Back in 1970, I was in Grade 10 when the first Earth Day took place. I remember writing flyers for a day to door information canvas. The issues of the day were the threat of eutrophication from phosphates in detergent, DDT and acid rain.
