You know, the "real" problem is Hollywood, MTV, main stream media promoting and endorsing the "rapper-hip-hop" lifestyle and it's celebrities because they make a lot of $$$. Tiffany doesn't stand a chance. Not to mention the communication devices (iPad, smartphones, etc) which provide the immediate access to all this crap. And now we're bringing it into the schools so that our young "can learn better" and not fall behind in the technology. Of course, if you have stock in Apple or Telecom companies, who cares? We as a society better get on these issues or Detroit and South Central LA just won't be on the other side of the tunnel or near Venice Beach. And as the report shows, it is all ready here. Not to mention the recent riots in Britain. This said, Tiffany has her work cut out for her. She is doing what teachers on the frontline should do as a "re-enforcer of values"; not just skills. Sadly, considering today's Tech, Social Media, TV and consumerism circus, we wish her luck because she should not have had to deal with it in the first place!

4 years of hell is going to be a long time. How do you like your meat? Rare, Medium or Well Done?

He's from Newfoundland & Labrador as we all know. They used to be the brunt of jokes in this country but not anymore. And if I remember correctly ex-Premier Danny Williams found out about the Harper Government and liked him so much he went ABC. Wonder who he voted for. He must be a jerk too?

You may cite Venezuela as doing this well. But there is one difference. He nationalized his country's oil industry instead of letting Conoco-Philips run it. Country is doing well I understand because of it

To answer your question: the whole nation suffers from hockey concussion. I am now a cynic and I don't like it! I haven't had a concussion, but I am getting there.

But did anyone notice that the US increased it's budgets for police and so has Canada. And why is the priority of increased spending for the prison system on the agenda? But as the NDP campaign manager iterated: the trick to growing-up is after the loss of innocence to keep youthful idealism alive

Ethology 101. the study of the herd. While the herd, pack, colony, pride can be the most effective means for a species to provide nurture and protection it can also thereby ensure that the strongest and the fittest become the leaders or dominant progenitors to make sure that the species survives. Too clinical? Yet is this not what we are discussing here?

"There Will Be Blood" Powerful words and powerful movie. But this "withdrawal" from the addiction is going to take years. In any event, mother nature or whatever will take care of herself. I doubt we will have much to do about hastening or preventing the laws of physics. Energy is neither created nor destroyed, only transformed
