Why Dead Children Don`t Matter, and How they Can: What Billie Combes and Moloch Still Teach Us

Does it matter to you? Do you too hear the screams that never stop?

Native people, like all of us, have been manufactured.

(NANAIMO, Vancouver Island) - Indigenous nationhood, like Democracy or Christianity, is a wonderful idea; and wonderfully absent, in practice.

(DAYTONA BEACH, FL) - My father was an imperialist.

He was raised in Tory Ontario in a Baptist family that was perhaps embarrassed by the existence of the rebel Philip Annett who, four generations earlier, had seized the family flintlock and hastened to join William Lyon MacKenzie during the abortive rebellion of 1837. (Ontario history may not have been as dull as we thought.)

Carol is asleep next to me on the couch and my stomach is filled and warmed with good cheer.

Not if it isn`t True

Burying the hatchet is always a good thing for those with the bigger hatchet, much as the law is good for the man with property, and terrible for the one without it.

So Let`s Talk Football: The Great Grey Cup Game of 1959

“Give me a “W”!” shouted the cheerleader. “W!” we all responded. “Give me an “I”!” “I”! But there the cheerleading foundered. The guy, well-intentioned, wasn't from, nor could he spell “Winnipeg.”

(DAYTONA BEACH, FL) - "Hockey captures the essence of Canadian experience in the New World. In a land so inescapably and inhospitably cold, hockey is the chance of life, and an affirmation that despite the deathly chill of winter we are alive." - Stephen Leacock

International issue: hands across the toxins...

(DAYTONA BEACH, FL) - If Jesus could be beamed down to earth, it would not require any divine circumvention as to viscosity, hydraulic principles or gravity.

On the other hand, if He were to attempt to replicate the loaves-and-fishes routine, He just might have a problem. Because the Dead Sea was never like this.
