Conrad Black's Fall From Grace

In this day and age I don`t see any Henry Fords, so where`s this greatness Black is talking about? Most rich people today are that way as a result of inheritance of old money, or they got that way through a neo-conservative agenda of exploiting workers. It doesn`t hurt that governments have furthered this agenda along too! Black should quit cozying up to US style biz-think and remember all of the greatness that Canadians have given the world!

Truth is the Brain Drain much many times worse before the 1980s.....and I get sick of writers like Christie Blatchford in the Globe and Mail (formerly Sun, Star and Post) suck up to Black, saying she told an editor at the Star in the early 80s Black was the \"Most well-n person she had ever seen.\" (Huh?) Also, Steve Paiken of TVO\'s Studio 2 still calls Black \"An extremely interesting person to listen to.\" This was after his interview with Allen gregg, discussing his new book on Franklin D. Roosevelt, claiming the British were afraid of the Germans, and that Roosevelt was the most powerful, influential man of the 20th century, due to his ability to manipulate people. Never mind Winston Churchill, who was the only person Hitler admitted to fearing.......It seems writers are now criticizing Black, as he\'ll no longer be owning the paper they write for.

I\'ve always found Black to be like most right-wing politicians and corportat elite, high on appearance, low on substance.....and no, he isn\'t that well-spoken.

As Hurtig said, there wasn\'t a brain drain when Conrad left Canada....and his wife, to......who wrote an article in Chatelaine called \"Why women marry up.\" (Power hungry, naice like Christie Blatchford. -more like \"Toronto Without IQ.\" Barbara Amiel \"Lady\" Black also apparently confused a ham with a duck, not realizing it was a ham becuase \"I\'m Jewish.\" (More like, \"I don\'t know jack squat so I married a rich guy to pay for surgery to improve my 62-year old face.\")

Who\'s Dean Kamen?

There is a disturbing twist coming on this issue - it seems the Carlyle group is looking to buy up the papers and media outlets.

If there was ever a time for Canadians to become pushy - now is the time - for time is running out on this nation called Canada.

Refresh my memory about the Carlyle group. Who are they? What do they do? What do they own? What is their political affiliation? (Big quess:0)

Carlyle group - otherwise known as the ex-presidents' club. <br><br> Just the sort of people you want owning and operating a chain of semi-respected media outfits. Hey - one guess to which side will their news will slant? <br><br> http://www.hereinreality.com/carlyle.html <br><br> <p>---<br>If there was ever a time for Canadians to become pushy - now is the time - for time is running out on this nation called Canada.

This Dean Kamen is \'all that\' as you say, doc. Only thing is, why on earth is he friends with a dimwit like George Bush?

George may be a dimwit, but he's the dimwit what's in charge. Dean Rocks.<p> <p>---<br>"History does not repeat itself, but it does rhyme" Mark Twain
