I am doing a paper on the advisability of wives receiving wages for housework. It has been difficult locating sources with reasonably thought out arguement one way or the other. Thanks for taking the time and effort to construct this page. It is both informative and helpful.

I am looking for smoking alternatives (nicotene patches...) that sort of thing for when a smoker HAS to be in a non-smoking place. What else is out there beside the patch and nicotene gum?

Perhaps you should look at the study done by the United Nations that ranks Canada with 23 other "wealthy" nations in the area of child poverty. We rank 17th...certainly not the picture your writer would like us to believe. I suppose he has simply failed to compute the averages from the aboriginal population...or do they not count...just as apparently the poor don't count...especially if we can explain them away with stats!!

It is very apparent to me that you see only what you want to see. You never said if the family owned and operated a car, what was the amount of money spent on food each month, if any of the family had medical conditions that required a doctor's care and medication, let alone how this would be paid for.
It's too bad your head is up your ass. If you had presented things differently you might start to make some sense.

Mr. or Ms. R. Dziezynski should have read my article before disgorging that piece of ill considered invective. If that were done then he/she would know that my article was based on a Spectator Whinefest. I can virtually assure Mr. or Ms. Dziezynski that if Ms. Graveline had any medical considerations the Spectator would not have missed the opportunity to point them out - loudly.
I didn't say whether the family owned and operated a car. Nor did I say whether they owned a yaught or takes annual vacations in Acapulco. Relevance? Nor did I mention anything about how much the family spends on food in a month. Perhaps they dine in the finest restaurants every evening. If so, then their food budget would be considerably higher than the budget of a comparable working family who shops at No Frills. So what?
There is no doubt that if Ms. Graveline owns a car it will have an impact on her budget. Food costs money and medical considerations can put a real dent in disposable income. People who go out and earn their pay checks are not exempt from any of these same obligations - and they have the additional burden of supporting the Graveline's of the world.
Where's your head R. Dziezynski?

THERE GOING TO STEAL THE ELECTION! I CAN SEE IT NOW. QUICK NOTE: LAST YEAR THE TAMPA BAY BUCS LOST IN THE PLAYOFFS BECAUSE A RECEPTION WAS CALLED AN INCOMPLETE PASS BECAUSE THE BALL HIT THE GROUND WHILE IN POSSESION OF THE RECIEVER. THIS YEAR, THEY CHANGED THE RULE SO THAT THEY ALLOW THOSE CATCHES TO BE CALLED A RECEPTION, BECAUSE OF THE IMPORTANCE OF THAT CATCH! THEY DIDN'T CHANGE THE RULES IN THE PLAYOFFS! THE FLORIDA SUPREEM COURT DID JUST THAT. THEY CHANGED THE RULES AT THE END OF THE SEASON!!!! BE AFRAID... BE VARY AFRAID!

Republican or Democrat it should make no difference,we are all Americans. We are supposed to know right from wrong. It appears that this is clearly not the case.Where have our values gone?I was taught God,Country,family,and the Green Bay Packers.Without "God"
there would be no country and family etc.It's shocking to me to see our President,Vice President and Democratic congressman and senators brazenly lie to us.For example,Al Gore and all his cronies said that Dade county stopped counting ballots because of the so called riotious mob outside the courthouse.The fact is that the people were upset at the canvasing board because they were counting the ballots out of the publics view which is against Florida law. No one in the demonstration was arrested or charged with any crime. I'll tell you what is a crime and that is democrates are trying to steal an "election",they are putting their politics over our country and our constitution. This is more dangerous than any bomb we can devise. This thought pattern is like a cancer to all of us who really care about this land that our fathers fought and died for.these people have no reguard for America,Democrates are so greedy all they care about is being in power,telling us how to think,act and we should be tollerant. I'll tell you what I'm sick to death of all of them and I know how we can shut them all up. we can stuff there mouths full of "Chads",at least they won't go to waste!

Good for you. In a time when men act like little boys and women have the attitudes of spoiled aristocrats, it is refreshing to find that there are some people who believe in personal freedom.
I am not a true Libertarian, but I believe that the Libertarian attitude is benefical for human existance. Keep up the good work.

I applaud them. No one should be allowed to make their own choices in these matters. |

comments:
People who own bars and restaurants are not there merely to earn a living. They are tools of social engineering. It is their DUTY to accomodate whomever has preferences which resonate with the current political fashion. It is also their duty to restrict or evict those customers with whom they would otherwise have no quarrel.

Dear Sir,
I was given this link by a friend and found your "conversation" very entertaining. I have been involved with smokers rights campaigns in the York Region area for a number of years and have had my fill of the circular arguments that politicians can run with.
Sadly, the region recently passed their by-law with almost no resistance since the people in this area are misinformed like the rest of the Province. I have not finished with this myself, and will continue to fight the bans in whatever way I can.
Keep up the good work!
Regards,

Not bad. I have just finished reading a book authored by Randall Robinson entitled, The Debt. He makes an excellent argument in favor of reparations. I was curious to hear the other side. Much of what you have to say make perfect sense. Unfortunately, you seem to have missed a few essential points.
1. Most people cannot reconcile the payment of reparations to non-victims. I certainly cannot. If reparations are to be paid, they should go to actual former slaves. I do agree however, that that payment should be made by those that benefited from the crime.
2. We are still left with victims of the legacy of slavery and the state sanctioned discrimination that followed emancipation. This include such things as “Black laws”, Jim Crow, peonage and the like. This brand of racism continued for many years after slavery was abolished in the US and continues, albeit to a lesser degree today. No matter though. The damage is done and is manifest in many of the problems facing the Black Community today.
Excerpts from The Debt for your review: The Black male is far more likely to be murdered, have no job, fail in school and to become seriously ill than his white counterpart. His life will be shorter by seven years, his chances of finishing high school smaller. In many states, he is TEN TIMES more likely to be imprisoned than whites for the same offense.
The list goes on and on. I am certain you are familiar with the statistics. However, as informed as you are, surely you have given thought as to why there should be such a disparity. I submit that there are at least two reasons as to why African Americans on the whole live out their live with so much less than Whites on the whole.
(a) African-Americans are somehow inferior to Whites or (b), some national tragedy has brought us to this point. Starting over 200 years hence the legacy of that crime against an entire race has relegated African-Americans to this station in our national life. The former is discounted outright, having been disproven repeatedly. With what then are we left? If we choose the later and the goverment has somehow been complicit in this crime and has even profited from it, then that goverment could be said to have the responsibilty for making the victims whole. Wouldn't you agree?
Have you any other alternatives?

comments:
Your arguments are spurious at best, but understandable for the propaganda puposes it serves. You invoke capitalism as the catalyst, but fail to conceive that without the "agrarian revolution" there would not have been quite the capitalist surplus which provided the precursor to the "industrial revolution". Of course, mere free African labour over three centuries contributed nothing in econiomic terms, and the Atalantic African Slave Trade did not generate wealth which built cities. If your piece was not so racially insulting and manifestly biased one might have a lot more to say in rebuttal.Who pays you to spread your propaganda anyway? Nuff said - you insulting racial bigot who does not want to address this great crime against humanity, with so much as a sincere apology!

I want to thank the unidentified individual who wrote the previous diatribe. This individual does nothing but add strength to the arguments I made in my original article.
The author says my piece is racially insulting. Why is that? Is it because I object to the idea that, as a person born with white skin, I should accept some hereditary guilt for what happened centuries ago? I am sorry pal, but skin colour is not proof of any sort of guilt nor should it be used to impose unearned debt upon innocent people.
Make no mistake, this person clearly believes I owe him something. Why else would he/she imply that I owe Africa and the diaspora a sincere apology? There can be no other reason than because I am white! So who is the real insulting racial bigot?
