The world has gone mad.

Evil, hate and the madness of greed have led 
to a state of mind wherein values, as measured 
in the classical sense, no longer exist. 

They have passed from our perceptions.

Survival, man's cinder of  sanity, screams  for
intervention before life becomes worthless.

�Good� is not a concept but a fact. Something is 
good or it is other.  

�Evil�  the concept versus evil the fact should 
not be so difficult an equation. 

We can choose to understand the difference or give 
ourselves license to do as we will for the present.  

Time will give us another option.

The upper ozone is now so depleted that children of concerned 
parents no longer venture outdoors without large brimmed hats.  

Why be so careful? Why bother so? 

Our will to commit mass murder is exalted as rational policy.

In a world seemingly without cure for the madness 
that so thoroughly infects and infests our souls;  
greed has become God.

China, utilizing financial and political greed, 
secures two Candu reactors, expanding thereby its 
access to larger amounts of tritium, the �key� 
ingredient in manufacturing lighter, effective and 
easily delivered nuclear weapons.

In return, Manulife obtains a choice position as a majority 
partner in marketing its products to China�s markets. 

Nothing is said, publicly, of China�s ongoing 
development of nuclear weapons and delivery systems 
including �world class� ICBM�s.   

Having a nuclear capacity somewhat similar to that of 
France or England, it aspires to be the nuclear force 
in Asia, surpassing Russia�s role in technological and 
numerical superiority. 

Within ten years of completing those reactors, China may 
no longer be willing to suffer the dictates or other 
imperatives from the USA or any other nation. 

It will have achieved its desired position as a dominant 
member of the nuclear club.

All �treatys� and such will be so much chaff in the wind.  

Raw power and the will to use it, recklessly if need be, 
will secure China�s status.  And humanity will be caught 
in the whirlwind of another weapons race.

Either that or decisions have already been taken that 
wilfully risk the trade of those reactors in return for 
market access; because of a determination  to bomb China 
back to the �Stone Age� without  warning should it show 
any intransigence in future �treatys� or weapons dealings. 

One way or another, the insanity will come to an end. Total
use or total disarming of all such weapons will come about 
with or without the input of average citizens.

Decision T2020-88 of The Federal Court Of Canada - Trial 
Division  offers a means by which citizens can have a voice 
in attempting to solve or terminate the insanity. 

It can be used by every human living in a country subject 
to the rule of law.  It recognizes and guarantees the 
legality of the following:

Your right to respect at law for the significance of your 
existence as a thinking being. 

Your right to refuse to pay taxes to, or to otherwise 
refuse to support, any society or government participating 
in plans and preparations involving the will and the 
capacity to mass murder other human beings.

We can no longer afford our individual and national 
deceptions and rooting for our favorite sports teams 
while we and our neighbors prepare plans that make the 
past seem utterly innocent of violence.  
  
Absent a commitment to societal sanity by sufficient 
numbers, Thoreau�s tame garden will never flower.  

I urge all to use the provisions of decision T2020-88 to 
help guide or otherwise lead humanity to the light of reason.

To Another Way

In Flanders Fields birds fly by
Ignored by the poppies and those who died.
To the Lark, the flowers had no choice
Similar, the soldiers who raised no voice.

At early dawn, low pitched cries
Wail at the waste caused by lies.
Why were we lined as tins on shelves?
Why were we lined as sheep for the shells?

In those grey fields, the crows are alert
Sqawking at the moans, the calls from the dirt
That curse empty longings, and scream at greed�s hopes,
Of �things� for ourselves and for others a rope.

In those fields, oft forgotten, some stop to pray
Forgetting the insanity, forgetting the ways
Of boys being men and doing as such,
Murdering on "orders"; then dying like mulch.
