A fine line between prosperity... and too much time; for too many idle hands; with too much unearned wealth.

Native Canadians are too often taught selfishness is better than self discipline and working to better other human situations less fortunate.

Is that for every race Tom?

It sure looks like Human Nature to me... same thing will happen to refugees if we use same cause and effect to treat them like basket cases.

We had an interesting discussion last evening with a group of city friends about gun control in light of the recent shootings in La Loche. The point was made that it's easy for the city people to scream, "no guns allowed" when there are 5 cop cars at your house in 5 minutes, but rural folk may have to phone 3 detachments to get a cop out, that's if there is good cel coverage available. How do other ruralites feel about having a weapon at hand?

Mighta seen the comment @SheilaGunnReid: I carry a gun because it was too hard to carry a cop around all the time... lol
