That moment…

The People of the Kattawapiskak River

Posted on October 18, 2012 by fearlessanalyst

I sit here in my large, comfortable, well-heated home, almost trembling with reverberation from seeing Alanis Obomsawin’s film, “The People of the Kattawapiskak River” at the ImagineNative film festival in Toronto. Every Canadian needs to see it. It’s late, and … Continue reading →

Legalize drugs? Duh!

Posted on May 26, 2012 by fearlessanalyst

A lot of people I know smoke cigarettes. Most drink alcohol. Yes, some have problems resulting from these activities. But for the most part, they know what they are consuming. And above all, no one is being murdered over it, … Continue reading →
