"Cowardice asks the question...is it safe? Expediency asks the question...is it politic? Vanity asks the question...is it popular? But conscience asks the question...is it right? And there comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular but one must take it because it is right." ~Dr. Martin Luther King

The less you know

Flipping through t.v. Channels  today I heard someone make a statement aout how many thoughts pass through a personb's mind in a second.  A lot.

I just read Maureen Dowd's column  in the NewYork Times.Then I remembered a thought that went through my mind in the middle  of the night recently.

I remembered reading a  magazine article about chemical weapons being manufactured in Western Canada. It was a long time ago..

The chemical weapons in  Syria are said to have been there a long time. Could they have  been bought from a Canadian manufacturer ?

Are there any laws about that?

Why would chemical weapons be manufactured if they were not to be  for sale somewhere?

Who would be responsible for the deaths of women.children and babies  in those circumstances?

How would one go about finding the answers to those questions?

Before the second world  war , British foundries supplied Germany with the materials for their re-armament. When the war ended , bills of lading from before the war   were still waiting to be paid
By the Krupps industry.

ahhhh... did Peter Shurman have a credibility? Was he not just a media personality on a left-wing radio station?

Peter Shurman has been sacked by Hudak as finance critic for " not being up to their standards."
