George Washington was a terrorist...from a British point of view. And he wasn't...from a revolutionary point of view. It has ever been so. All things considered, given the factors at the time, my sympathies are more with George Washinton than with King George III, but both of them did exactly what they thought was the "right" thing to do, of course, given their understanding of the situation.

Carol- I think the "seemingly pleasant suggestions" Spaw was referring to were perhaps not so much those that emanate from MAV, but from the political and corporate leaders who concoct the social policies that MAV supports. Suggestions like: "Social services will work much better if handled by private companies." "Wealth will trickle down to everyone else if the rich are given a tax break." And so on....

That type of comfortable lie. It sounds lovely. It leads to disaster. We've had a term and a half of it in Ontario, and it just keeps getting worse out there on the streets and in the towns. And worse. And worse. The Canada of my youth is being destroyed piece by piece in the name of "Free Trade", but there is nothing free about it, except the ride given to the multinational corporations and the drug companies.

And I repeat: Those who will not share are not fit to rule.
