True North is firmly in favour of a clear separation between religion and at least this fourth estate. We’ll never enter a debate on religion except where we think it has overstepped its definition of shepherding souls in the name of God. But that doesn’t mean that we are beyond concern of spiritual matters. We’re quite prepared to publish material in this vein. That’s why you’ll see a poem by Judge Roy Moore of Alabama who was dismissed as a judge because he insisted on displaying the Ten Commandments. The poem appears under the good offices of one of our contributing editors, RCAF Lt. Col. (Ret’d) Harold Wright. It’s worth a read because it expresses the pain of an honest man who despairs about what is happening to his country.
Otherwise we’ve given plenty of space to Hugo Chavez, President of Venezuela. The reason is that he’ll be speaking today to the general assembly of the United Nations in New York. Last time he spoke he created much media attention by referring, in so many words, to George W. Bush as the ‘devil’. Who knows what Hugo Chavez will say today? But whatever he may say, we offer four stories about him and his country that will help put him in context for the serious reader.
See you on No Gas Friday.
Looking forward
