im reserving opinion on the dispute because I dont know any of the details, but 3 + 3 + 3 + 3.5 isnt at all "petty", in my mind.

my most recent contract only gave 3 + 3 + 2.5 + 1 ATBs. long gone are the days of double digit hikes.

edit to add: regardless of the specifics, I wish everyone a speedy and fair settlement. i hope you are back to work soon, traveler. strikes are not fun.

dunno man, that's one might big "tongue", ollie. i hope you've managed to see a doctor sometime over the last 17 years, or at least a gynecologist.

I have to say I don't see why that is a "good " article..atleast if your sympathies lie with the strikers.

so, a "good" article has to take a side? it was one of the more informative articles Ive read so far, and answered a few questions I have. in my mind, that does indeed make it "good".

interesing video. i had no idea rumsfeld was involved. i'd be interested in knowing when the video was made, because studies on the effect of aspartame on brain neurotransmitters were actually published as early as 1986, and although most found no problems, at least one indicates increased levels of serotonin in mice, and flagged greater potential problems with developing brains (ie., baby mice). the human corollary, i guess - don't feed your kids artifical sweeteners or you may turn them into e-heads.

the recent systematic review I noted looked at the relationship between aspartame and incidence of cancers, and did not explore effects on the brain in any great detail.

who knows, maybe rumsfeld is involved more than we think and aspartame is indeed part of an evil plot that is turning people into conservatives.

thanks for the vid, starhead.

y'all can have your iphones and ipods and izings and iwhoozies.

i'm sticking with my MacIntosh - a whopping 128k RAM, 8 MHz processor, a 400k disk drive, a device called a mouse, and all in one sleek beige case with a huge 9" monochrome display.

there was an article in the star last week about this people getting incorrect cards too. it suggested elections ontario didnt really care.

i'd telephone your existing MPP to ask for help.

Canadian border farmers say it's not uncommon to see dozens of sociology professors ...

LOL! too funny. I know three different sociologists who sought refuge in Canadian academia in the early 70's.

i haven't the slightest idea what any of you are talking about ... although, i almost never do ...

personally, I dont care if McCain thinks a christian president would be better than a non-christian president or that people vote based on a candidate's religion.

what strikes me as problematic is that he is running as a candidate for president himself and essentially saying they because HE is christian he is superior to anyone who is not. ie., dont vote for that guy because he's a jew, or a muslim and worships a god incompatible with the founding principles of our nation.

we have no good bagels in guelph.

you liberals, always looking for something ...

purely a coincidence!
