Green Island Veritas Morgue that is to say, the old stuff....
On Green Island
Earlier collections of thoughts on various things that Canadians trying to escape the Box (or inflicted with interminable insomnia) might find of interest....
and before this we had Green Island Veritas
and of course the original RM (Rude Macedon)
itself. They'll be talking about this in the history books. And your kids will be saying things like 'You were right there and didn't KNOW about it?!?! Geez!!!! Old folks sure weren't very bright back then - all that tv, I guess....'
December 24/07 Left wing bias? Who you trying to kid?!? - in which I respond to one of the yearly complaints from the Canadian rightwing media about the mythological 'lefty-librul' 'bias' in the Canadian media - grip on reality a bit shaky, guys?!?!?
December 21/07 - to a Brit discussion: Sticking up for old white guys... - some lady attacks 'sex tourism' with some stereotypes and other things I feel inclined to comment on ...
November 30/07 - to the Star: Terrified of democracy... - in which the Toronto Star once again panics at the very thought of democracy rearing its ugly head in Ontario, and I comment, with reference to the noble sounding words on 'responsible journalism' of the 'public affairs editor', as she rather incorrectly calls herself.
November 25/07 - to the CBC: A Real Dose of Reality - comments on a CBC-PEI series about drug addiction in young people, in which they fail to talk about all the most important things. Typical MSM stuff.
October 30/07 - to the Star: Why the Apathy?? - a Star columnist opines that Canadians are apathetic about important issues, and offers some suggestions as to the reasons - I offer an out-of-the-box perspective (concerning which he was/is apparently not interested - why was I not surprised??)
October 10/07 - to the CBC: Electoral reform fraught with risk - for who??? - shameless crap from the Toronto Star inspires a response (to which, of course, as usual, they pay no attention ....
July 04/07 - to the CBC: Dear Peter - Peter Mansbridge does a sort of web interview to tell everyone how wonderful the CBC is; I have a question and bit of a commentary about it all ...
Mar 13/07 - to the CBC: Maybe they should start with a mirror - a commentary on the CBC 'Spincycles' series (the producer Ira Basin did respond to this)
Feb 2/07 - to Reporters Sans Frontèirs: What about press responsibility - they release their annual report about press freedom, but I note there may be other problems equally as important in 'democratic' countries
Sept 21/06 - to Martha Hall Findley: Some thoughts on your leadership campaign (***NOTE: THIS WAS ACKNOWLEDGED!! (although by a campaign worker, that's ok, she's obviously very busy)
Sept 17/06 - to Diana Johnstone: Debunking Diana (not an especial challenge, her 'debunking' of the Truth Seekers was a typical shallow hatchet job)
- and a bunch of earlier ones for those with insomnia, or otherwise interested in things the Canadian MSM was not publishing a few years ago, or just some good writing unseen in the in-the-box Canadian MSM - Letters from RM to Various, 2002-4
