Tuesday, November 6, 2007
By Bernadette Wagner
It would be very interesting to hear what the political leaders have to say about The Earth Charter. The document is an international declaration of global interdependence that calls for shared responsibility for the well-being of all Earth's people and...

Wednesday, October 10, 2007
By Bernadette Wagner
In short, a lot. I've become quite disgruntled with party politics and parliamentary democracy. The first past the post seems like nothing more than an old boys' race for the power to ruin people's lives. I have been toying with...
