"What self-centered men have torn down, other-centered men can
build"--Martin Luther King, Jr.
I understand that life is not fair to begin with, but for me, to
use this social understanding to make life better for the few and
privileged while worse for the common people is a social crime. My
family and I have had personal and painful experiences caused by the
few and privileged, and I never gave up my efforts to understand the
social roots for these painful experiences.
We started to analyze the social and governmental scenario in
Saskatchewan and we identified a corrupt governmental leadership
headed by former premier Roy Romanow. We moved on to understand the
social and governmental scenario in Canada and again we identified a
corrupt governmental leadership headed by Prime Minister Jean
Chretien. We moved on to understand the social and governmental
scenario in the United States and all over again we identified a
corrupt governmental leadership headed by president George Bush Jr.
We came to the conclusion that our governments don't serve the
people, that our governments are private contractual deals rather
than social contracts, that our governments serve themselves and
their corporate friends.
We also got exasperated in realizing that the root of
governmental and corporate corruption is a widespread phenomenon
caused by the so called Free Market, the economic philosophy to make
money with money peddled by the Chicago School of Economics.
Today we understand that Canadian Minister of Public Works
Alfonso Gagliano was ordering the hiring of his friends by
governmental agencies.
Also, today we understand that the Bush Administration broke off
talks with the Taliban government to build a pipeline in Afghanistan
in August 2001 and as a consequence warned the Taliban of an
impeding bombardment of their country by the U.S. military. We must
understand that the Bush family has business interests in the oil
and arms industry.
Jeff Gates has stated that our democracy is at risk and I state
that our democracies have been eroded and that we THE PEOPLE must
take back our rights from our governments.
The Free Market along with corporate globalization must be
debunked and so their proponents. Instead of the Free Market we must
build people centered democracies, and therefore value again the
French revolutionary cry: "Liberte, Egalite, Fraternite."

Yahoo News, Thursday November 2001, by Julio Godoy, Inter Press
Service. PARIS, Nov 15 (IPS) - Under the influence of U.S. oil
companies, the government of George W. Bush initially blocked U.S.
secret service investigations on terrorism, while it bargained with
the Taliban the delivery of Osama bin Laden in exchange for
political recognition and economic aid, two French intelligence
analysts claim. ''At one moment during the negotiations, the U.S.
representatives told the Taliban, 'either you accept our offer of a
carpet of gold, or we bury you under a carpet of bombs','' Brisard
said in an interview in Paris. http://tiger.berkeley.edu/sohrab/politics/taliban+us.html
