Michael Langon won't ever get to celebrate his eighteenth birthday and that is a tragedy. He won't ever know what it's like to watch his bride walk up the isle to pledge her love to him. He'll never know what it's like to hear his baby's first cry or watch see his life unfold.

This boy died this past week Langon was tasered by police after he was believed to have stolen some property form a vehicle. Police say he brandished a knife at them and refused to drop it before being hit with the taser. He was pronounced dead at hospital. Beyond these few facts, we won't know a great deal about this case for some time. But David Chartrand thinks he knows.

The dream of a peaceful world (War is Over) never materialized. Lennon and Yoko Ono held their bed-ins, bag events and the like in the hopes that the world would ...

There is a powerful movement in Canada to ban people from smoking if there is a child under 18 in the vehicle with them. It hasn't come to Manitoba yet but it will. Ontario is the latest province to stand up for the children and protect them from their parents. A bill is now being presented to Parliament which would make it illegal for parents to spank their children. Once again, we will be told how to raise our kids by people who have no stake in their lives.

You see, it's the parents who must live with the consequences of how the kids are raised. But there are those who insist that it is their standards which must be used when it comes to the education of young people. Individual judgement or choice must be eliminated.

It's ironic that we're prepared to allow a woman the choice to abort ...
