Yup…good read…but wasted on most people who care to read it. Now the 3rd world is saying they want flat screens and disposable diapers, all that will happen is the CO2 will further increase and we’ll have a new bunch to blame. After all, what well heeled Canadian will give up the Land Rover for the TTC…ain’t gonna happen as long as things are cheap, or at least w/in reach. Good article and I passed along your thought-of-the-day.

Comment on The CNN Freedom Project – Ending Slavery in India by WorkingShirt

Dear Juthica,

Thank you for your long commentary on the situation of modern day slavery. It is indeed a tragic and brutal practice that still exists. We think we have progressed so far into the 21st century, but mankind itself has not enlightened itself in the progression through time.
Human greed and the thirst for power is the cause of so much of the problems. Lack of an ethical and moral code also causes so many problems in the world because so few people possess this.

I am very very aware of the problem of human trafficking , for prostitution, house hold and agricultural laborers. I am also aware of the fact many educated , affluent Indian families bring their maids/house boys with them when they come abroad , luring them by the prospect of a better future , more money for their families back home etc. Once they leave India and settle in some foreign country . Usually unable to speak the language, or not allowed to speak to anybody other than the family who brought them abroad the servant / maid live virtually an isolated life, like a slave. They get no days off, they are made to work 16 to 18 hours a day, never allowed to go out side on his or her own. the salaries they are promised ,never given to them with the promise of sending the money to the servants family directly.
Some times they are severely abused physically , sometimes sexually too. there have been cases in America, Canada where someone , female employees sometimes manage to run away to escape the treatment . Not knowing the language or laws of the country get into severe legal problems . Occasionally they get rescued by some kind police man or another person of their own countries and get help. In many cases the employer take away their passport and other identification card etc to prevent them for leaving.
I feel , whether people are educated or affluent make so little difference ! Poverty leads these human beings to offer their services for a better life . So whether it is within their own country by rich money lenders or families enjoying freedom / wealth , life abroad people are guilty of the same crime of continuing modern version of slavery. The employer excuses him/herself that they have spent a lot of money to bring their servants abroad , so basically the servants are owned by them. yes, education is important but it takes time , some time very long time. So should these modern day slaves be the sacrificial lamb ? Till our society is ready to acknowledge these practice exists and take action now this brutal practice will kill many poverty stricken individuals..

Comment on Why Not to Get a Telus Mobile Internet Device by WorkingShirt

Telus ought to pay attention. They are not delivering on their promise of high speed internet and the ability to surf anywhere you want. They’ve even got an excuse for it. If they can’t provide the technology, they shouldn’t be offering it. I’m stuck in my contract, not even using the internet stick now. Just paying and paying for nothing.

Upgraded to a Telus 3G Mobile Internet Key on Saturday April 2 and have not been able to surf the net since. So slow even Telus’ website will not load. I download and pay my bills online. I guess now I will have to book an entire day to do this.

I even had difficulty loading the Sierra software in order to connect. It kept telling me I needed to insert the “disk”. Of course there wasn’t one.

This internet key is going right back to the store where I purchased it.
