Public transportation an option worth everyone’s consideration

The Vanguard Vision

Going green is all the rage. This country applauds all that is energy efficient and eco-friendly. And it should — research indicates that our carbon footprint would be a tight squeeze for Paul Bunyan, judging by our comparison with other nations.

Veterans Day a time to consider sacrifices made through war

There is a nice piece of history relating to Iroquois Point, which is about a half hour from my house in Sault Ste. Marie. There is a lighthouse there that, for a long time, guided ships across the big lake they call Gitche Gumee, but there was once an Ojibwa settlement on that same piece of coastline. The Ojibwa were a very peaceful people, who rarely warred with anyone. In 1662, a group of Iroquois invaded the Ojibwa settlement. The next morning, the beaches around the whole point were decorated with the heads of the invaders placed on the end of spears. Americans as a whole are not a peaceful people. I think many Americans would like to think that we are the modern equivalent to the Ojibwa — peaceful but capable — but that just isn’t the case. American culture embraces war passionately and ubiquitously. In the wake of this Veteran’s Day, we should consider the nature or our military culture. »

Government bailouts delay learning from mistakes

What if I were to tell you that our current economic crisis was not a result of Wall Street? That the financial sector, General Motors, and CEOs of multibillion-dollar corporations are not the reason that we are suffering from the worst economic downturn since the early 1980s? By now, I am sure that many of you are either intrigued or writing me off as a rabid, right-wing, pro-business conservative. This is hardly true. To see who really caused this recession, all one needs is a mirror. »
