			"Tere are real deficits in our society. Deficits in the 
			provision of a safe, uplifting environment for all of our citizens. 
			Deficits in education of the young and protection of all from 
			violence. Deficits in preservation and improvement of the country's 
			natural resources of land, water, and air."--Robert Eisner, 
			Economist
			We are at a turning point of our social understanding, and 
			instead to consider terrorism as a crime universally recognized by 
			any person and any country, we are taking our law in our own hands 
			and wage a war against terrorism in Afghanistan. And as more 
			civilian casualties occur as collateral damage of our bombings so 
			the war is increasingly taking the perception of a vindication 
			against the Pashtun people of Afghanistan and Pakistan.  
			The same has been occurring in Saskatchewan where our governments 
			have become a private contractual deal, take the law in their own 
			hands, and wage a private war against poverty by increasing the 
			Gross Domestic Product (GDP), teaching the aboriginal people how to 
			follow the white man's footsteps and sell themselves for business 
			and how to become instantly rich through native sponsored lotteries. 
			And as this war against poverty has been causing more deaths in the 
			freezing winter of Saskatchewan so more cops are needed to defend 
			our private Rule of Law.  
			Yesterday I read Timothy Shire's perspective of what has been 
			happening in Saskatchewan and Saskatoon in light of the recent and 
			well known revelation that the RCMP is covering up the crimes of 
			possible death squads operating in the Saskatoon's police 
			department. And yesterday I read the news that lawyer Ed Holgart has 
			withdrawn his services to defend Richard Klassen in his lawsuit 
			against the Saskatoon's police and many other parties including 
			ministries of the government of Saskatchewan. And we have all learnt 
			that our own government of Saskatchewan has become formally a 
			private contract as MLAs Ron Osika and Jim Melenchuk will be sitting 
			on their assets as they sold themselves and stay in the coalition 
			government. This is the private Rule of Law in Saskatchewan, the 
			teaming up of governments, business, lawyers and police to increase 
			the GDP against the good of their clients, that is the people of 
			Saskatchewan.  
			But our private Rule of Law is taking a definite fight against 
			poverty and now it is going to wage a public relations war to show 
			that Saskatchewan is a vibrant province. In fact, after former 
			Economic Development Minister Janice MacKinnon spin-doctored the 
			economic growth of Saskatchewan it is now up to her husband Peter 
			MacKinnon, president of the University of Saskatchewan, to 
			spin-doctor and sell our province to the world. In fact, the 
			provincial government and the university have teamed up to provide 
			$100,000 each for professor Bill Waiser to produce a book on 
			Saskatchewan's history in time for its 100 birthday in 2005. And 
			incidentally, we can appreciate what has happened to this province 
			as professor Waiser says "People forget that up into the 1930s 
			Saskatchewan was the third most populated province in Canada, and 
			two-thirds of that population was rural."
