Zashera said in the Canadian Top Stories Forum:

And I'm a woman! I feel as though this is the intellectual level of the majority of the threads on topix... That or they turn into contentious troll threads :) So how about a real discussion? Someone out there must have an interesting question and/or topic? I'll start off, as I already have a question. Besides it's only fair that I should go first lol. The Somalian pirates seem to be turning up in the headlines a lot more this year than last - is that because of an increse in incidents? Increased media coverage? Or did I just miss those articles last year??

What is Topix?

Topix is the largest news community on the web.

News on Fording Canadian Coal Trust continually updated from thousands of sources around the net.

& Self-regulation of the financial institutions has proven disastrous.

It was favored by the federal government and

the vested interests of banking CEOs

who are now negotiating with the government to save their careers.

The government is now offering various prescriptions for a cure.

However, a cure can only be administered by individuals.

We must use sound judgment,

as the cure for this illness is by initiating a schedule to eliminate credit debt.

For many,

credit has become a walking stick on which we lean on too much

rather than making the effort to live within our means or salaries.

The nation benefits and our own financial interest will be advanced to where we are able to

redefine liquidity as in rain,

swaps for visits to flea markets,

and looking forward means planning for the next Summer ( Motion event in Ashland ).

Well, in 2006, the Dems had a come-to-Jesus meeting with themselves and, under the leadership of Rahm Emanuel, won so many House seats they just waltzed in and took the place over.
