PUBLIC ADDRESS 16/04/04 - Wrapping Up

Just this once ... | Apr 16, 2004 11:49

Gordon Campbell: On More Threats To Democracy From David Seymour

The Regulatory Standards Bill is another vehicle for constitutional change launched under the guise of sensible, garden-variety law-making.

Martin LeFevre - Meditations: Good Does Not Fight Evil, But Stands Firm And Dispels It

The die is cast where Trump, the United States and the post-World War II order are concerned. The failure of insight and imagination by academic, media and political elites, exemplified in the moronic “good Trump, bad Trump” fantasy, feeds the widespread hopelessness and paralysis.
