Write The Globe About Missile Defence

Thanks for the links Mel. I sent a letter to the globe, because, obviously, the article was nothing more than right wing, mentally colonized propaganda!

As I\'ve noted before, I\'ve previously written to the Globe on their horrendous treatment of the facts, and searing of Ed Broadbent and the NDP. No luck getting my letter published. It was a little bit long, but they could\'ve shortened it.

Something tells me it wasn\'t the news they wanted published. (Just a bit too insightful for their silly paper. What a waste of paper. Used to love the Globe, too.)

I too wrote a letter to the editor on this issue, haven\'t seen it posted or Dave\'s either, but they did print someone else\'s that was very good. I understand that they will not reduce your letter if it\'s too long, they just won\'t print it, may I suggest perturbed, that you shorten it and send another. Even if they don\'t print them all, they may start to get a message...the more the better, and bottom line they do want to sell papers.

Thanks for the tips, Whelan.

BTW-I was feeling a little bit under the weather, so I tried the onion juice/sugar formula. It seemed to do something--sort of felt like a medically-active version of a halls cough candy, times 10. It tasted much better/lighter than I thought it would. I do think onions work, therefore.

....I wasn\'t sure how much to cut the onion, and let the juice collect, so I did it on a couple of occasions, and it appeared to work better.......

.....If it was another person who told me of this, then never mind, but I think it was you.

Would it be too much to ask for that formula?

Yeah, one of the Neo-cons favorite tricks is setting up a \"think-tank\" with some inocuous name that does nothing but hype one angle that fits with their agenda, to make the public at large believe shoddy science and unattributed statistics. This comment piece smells very much like one of those. I particularly like the \"5 out of 7\" success rate. Where the hell did he get that one from? Telling readers what Canadians believe at the end of the article. Retch. I thought the G&M thought better of its audience than to stoop to this level. It\'s not <i>quite</i> up there with acid-rain-is-caused-by-trees, but...

It was me perturbed, and Kevin here is the formula, it\'s actually quite simple....
take an onion, fairly large, or two if they\'re small, slice it as thin as you can without cutting your fingers, then place it in a bowl and sprinkle with sugar, I use white but probably brown would work too. Cover the bowl with a lid or plastic wrap, so it doesn\'t dry out. After awhile you\'ll see juice accumulating, drink it as it forms, it\'ll keep making more for a few hours, add more sugar if you want to...it\'s a bit trial an error. When the onions are tried out you won\'t get any more juice.Keep making it and drinking it till you are better. It doesn\'t taste bad at all with all that sugar, works for infections if you get them at the beginning, like colds, streps and stuff. Hope that helps, it\'s a very old formula and it was passed to me by an 80ish yr old fellow, so I don\'t have a specific recipe or the why\'s it works.
